At this point, we’ve been highlighting Black Friday deals for what feels like the better part of a month, and now it’s time for Cyber Monday! The annual post-shopping holiday weekend is here, and just like Black Friday, there are plenty of deals to be had on the budget-friendly tech you probably didn’t know you needed, much of which can be had for under $50.

We’ve sifted through the deluge of deals at Amazon, Best Buy, and other retailers to bring you an assortment of cheaper deals below, several of which can be had for as little as $10. And while you’ve likely heard of many of these items before — AirTags, anyone? — we’ve also made an effort to include lesser-known favorites of ours, like Sharge’s adorable Retro 67 charger, Anker’s gym-friendly Soundcore Sport X10 earbuds, and Hoto’s ultra-handy electric screwdriver.

Obviously, we can’t guarantee you’ll end up spending less than $50 at checkout, but at least you can start whatever spending spree you may or may not be on with a few inexpensive items.

The best speaker and smart display deals

$50

The second-gen Nest Hub is Google’s smallest smart display, with a seven-inch touchscreen that can adjust itself to the lighting in your room. What’s new in the latest version is its ability to automatically track your sleep patterns with its Soli radar chip. Read our review.

$35

The fifth-gen Echo Dot touts a temperature sensor, better sound, and faster response time than the prior model. It can also act as an extender for your Eero Wi-Fi system. Read our review.

Echo Pop Kids

$5054% off
$23

The Echo Pop Kids is the same entry-level smart speaker as the standard Echo Pop, but it comes with either a Marvel or Disney design. It also includes six months of Amazon Kids Plus as an added perk.

  • Regularly $129.99, right now, you can buy the last-gen Echo Show 8 for $54.99 at Amazon and Best Buy. It’s not as fast as the third-gen model and can’t act as a full smart hub, but it’s still a good smart display that can carry out all sorts of Alexa-enabled tasks, from making Zoom calls to controlling other smart home devices. Read our review.
  • Sony’s SRS-XB100 speaker is on sale at Amazon and Best Buy for around $38 ($12 off), its lowest price to date.

It also sports IP67 dust and water resistance so you can take it to pool parties or on hikes without worrying. Read our review.

The best wireless earbud deals

Jabra Elite 3

$8038% off
$50

Jabra’s Elite 3 earbuds have a refreshed design that’s more stylish than the company’s past earbuds. While they don’t have many frills or extra features, they fare well in the key areas of sound quality, comfort, and battery life.

  • If you’re someone who doesn’t like the feel of in-ear earbuds, Amazon’s latest Echo Buds are worth a look, and they’re currently on sale at Amazon for a very low $34.99. The “semi in-ear” fit means your ears won’t have that plugged-up sensation, and you’ll be able to maintain awareness of all that’s happening around you.
