Best Buy is running Tech Fest through June 28, and the sale includes 16 deals on Wirecutter-recommended gadgets and gear. Shoppers looking for headphones, tablets, and Apple Watch models have a limited window to buy them at lower prices.
The sale overlaps with Prime Day, which is why Best Buy is using Tech Fest to push competing discounts. The deals include items Wirecutter picked for laptops and TVs, plus headphones and gaming gear.
Wirecutter picks at Best Buy
One Bluetooth wireless headphones pick is an upgrade model with 24 hours of battery life, and Best Buy lists the pair with code JHCE9834 at checkout. Another headphones pick is noise-cancelling earbuds with eight hours of battery life.
The sale also includes a tablet that runs on an updated M4 processor. For shoppers comparing models, that means the most useful filter is not the brand name alone but the specific feature set Wirecutter singled out for each product.
Apple Watch models at Tech Fest
Best Buy is also discounting an Apple Watch model with battery life that is more than double that of the Series 11. The watch has a 49 mm case and can connect to satellites for off-grid messaging and emergency SOS.
Those details make the sale easier to sort through. Not every so-called bargain is worth it, so the practical move is to check whether the product matches the feature you actually need before the Tech Fest window closes on June 28.
My Best Buy Plus and Total
Best Buy says My Best Buy Plus and Total members get additional benefits during the sale. For shoppers already in those programs, that can make the same Tech Fest item more attractive than the headline price alone suggests.
The open question is how large the discounts are on each of the 16 deals. Until June 28, the clearest play is to compare the Wirecutter picks against the exact checkout price and buy only the model with the feature set that matters most.
