Prime Day is in full swing, but Amazon isn’t the only shop with deals. Walmart has a competing sale it calls, in a burst of creativity, “Walmart Deals.” Like Prime Day, Walmart’s sale features a range of deals on headphones, tablets, kitchen gear, and other tech. The best part is, there are no members-only deals here, so you can shop without worrying you’ll be asked to sign up for one. I’ve rounded up all the best deals on our favorite WIRED-tested gear.
If you can’t find anything you like, be sure to browse our roundup of the Absolute Best Prime Day Deals.

The best streaming device for most folks, this Roku stick is small, fast, and plugs right into your TV’s HDMI port. It’s super simple to use and has a handy remote for voice search support.

With the same H2 chip that powers the AirPods Pro 2, the PowerBeats Pro 2 impressed our reviewer, who praised the “crazy comfy” fit and dynamic sound. There’s also ANC and transparency modes for both road safety and gym sanity, wireless charging, IP57 durability, full-on bass-forward audio quality, and built-in heart rate monitoring.
The base iPad ticks all the boxes you need in a tablet. This is the latest model, updated in 2025 to an A16 chip and 6 GB of RAM. It’s perfect for casual gaming, reading books, watching movies in bed, and sharing with your kids. Amazon has the same sale for Prime members right now, but this is as good a deal as we typoiucally see on iPads.
These teeny tiny trackers might be the best way to keep tabs on your keys or luggage if you use an iPhone. They’re some of the best trackers around. Roughly the size of a quarter, they use Bluetooth and Apple’s special U1 location-finding chip to pinpoint locations in the Find My app.

The best wireless outdoor security camera for Google households, the Nest Cam Outdoor has a handy magnetic mount, an expansive 130-degree field of view, and captures sharp 1080p video with HDR and night vision. There’s also a clear-sounding speaker and microphone. You only get three hours of free event history, but you can add a Home Premium subscription ($10 a month, or $100 for the whole year) to get 30 days of event history and face recognition.
It might be late in this console generation’s lifespan, but you can still snag Microsoft’s flagship Xbox Series X, and it might be the best way to take full advantage of its Game Pass library. It’s not as good a deal as it was, but what is nowadays?
Worried about your kids becoming couch potatoes? This fun game console will get them up and jumping around your living room. I liked the Nex Playground when I first tried it, and the company has polished and added more games since then.

The Charge 6 is old, but it’s still our favorite Fitbit and may remain so until the Fitbit name is submerged by Google. The bright AMOLED touchscreen is easy to read and it covers all the basics, monitoring your heart rate, blood oxygen, and skin temperature. It also has ECG and electrodermal activity scans to gauge irregular heart rhythms and stress levels.
Affordable at its regular price, the TCL QM6K is a steal with this discount. The 65-inch model employs QLED display tech for bright colors and good contrast, even from a side viewing angle.

You may remember this gadget went viral on TikTok a few years ago, and it’s still an excellent upholstery or carpet cleaner at its regular price. It’s pretty good at sucking up spills and may even remove stains, and it’s way less bulky than your average carpet cleaner.
