8Bitdo’s wired XBox controller is just $30, along with some of the best tech deals this week.

The first few days of the year are often sleepy due to deals – and 2025 is no different. Since most of the Black Friday sales prices have expired, the big tickets are back to full price, but we’ve found a few new discounts on small tech and accessories from brands we recommend, such as Anker, Sony, Amazon Echo and JBL. You can get an Anker charging station for 40 percent off and pick up an Apple Watch Series 10 for $329, which is a very low return. The Amazon Echo display also sold near a record low. Here are this week’s best tech deals you can get today.

• 8Bitdo Ultimate Wired Controller (Xbox) for $30 ($15 off): Here’s a record low price for a licensed Xbox controller from a brand we recommend on several of our best lists. It is compatible with Xbox Series X, Series S, Xbox One and Windows 10 and above, so it can work with console or PC. It has hall-effect joysticks and triggers, a 3.5mm audio jack on the back, and two additional buttons not included with the official controller, which can be useful for mapping with PC games.

• Anker 9-in-1 charging station for $36 ($24 off): This mini tower has been a boon to my messy and small workspace, allowing me to charge and power various phones, batteries, tablets and other electronics that are a necessary part of the life of a heavy tech worker. It has four USB-C, two USB-A and two AC ports, and the wall adapter is nice and small. I wish I had bought mine on sale.

• Apple Watch Series 10 (GPS 42mm case) for $329 ($70 off): This is a return to the Black Friday prices we saw in November and represents the biggest discount we’ve seen on Apple’s latest flagship wearable. We gave it good marks in our review and called it the best Apple Watch and the best smartwatch currently on the market. Of course, it’s only for iPhone users, but if you’re an Apple fan, it can be very useful. Also at Best Buy.

• Ugreen Revodok Pro 109 USB-C Hub for $39 ($16 off with Prime): Prime members can save 30 percent on the 9-in-1 dock we named best of the bunch after checking out our USB-C hub guide. It lets you connect two 4K monitors and has a nice array of other ports and a long 10-inch cable gives you plenty of options for where to place it on your desk.

• Roku Streaming Stick 4K for $29 ($21 off): If your TV feels slow while streaming its built-in apps, this is one of the cheapest ways to help. The $29 price tag is one we’ve seen quite often over the past few months, and it’s about $4 above its all-time low, but it’s also the biggest discount we’ve seen this past year. The discount was available at many retailers, but it seems that Amazon is the only site that is sticking with the discount.

• Sony WH-1000XM4 ANC Headphones for $198 ($150 off): This deal is pretty old, with a beard on it, but still worth mentioning to anyone looking for a quality set of headphones. Sony’s XM4s were the top choice in our wireless headphone guide until the latest generation (the XM5s, currently $300) dethroned them. They’re four years old now, but if that’s not a problem, it’s a great way to save on a premium set of cans.

• Logitech Pebble Mouse 2 M350s for $20 ($10 off): A new model of one of our favorite manufacturing mice is on sale for a third discount. It has more recycled plastic in this case and the middle button can be customized. All three colors appear to be on sale (pink, black and white). And on Amazon.

• Beats Pill bluetooth speaker for $100 ($50 off): This is the same price we saw on Black Friday for Beats’ return to the Bluetooth speaker market. The completely redesigned tablet earned a spot in our Bluetooth speaker guide and 83 in our review. It offers greatly improved sound quality with impressive bass and full mids. You also get long, 24-hour battery life and lossless audio with USB-C. Also at Best Buy.

• Zagg screen protectors are 20 percent off: If you have a new phone or smartwatch for the holidays, you might want to slap it with a screen protector to avoid cracks and chips. Now through January 4, Target is selling Zagg accessories for 20 percent off.

• JBL Xtreme 4 for $300 ($80 off): The latest generation of our recommended JBL Xtreme is back for Cyber ​​Week value (we feature the Xtreme 3 in our guide to the best BT speakers). This adds about nine hours of battery life for a total of 24 hours and the replacement battery can be replaced. It’s also made from a lot of recycled materials and throws in powerful AI tuning. And on Amazon. The previous generation model is $200.

• Nimble Champ Pro Portable Charger for $80 ($20 off): I tested about 50 batteries for our power bank guide and this is the one I take with me when I travel. It’s compact but packs a huge, 20,000mah capacity that can recharge a large smartphone almost three times – and quickly. It will even juice the iPad in just under two times. The fact that the company is a certified B Corp doesn’t hurt.

• Amazon Echo Show 8 for $85 ($65 off): You can get Amazon’s 8-inch smart display for $85, down from its usual $150. The Echo Show can display weather, videos, display doorbell feeds and do all sorts of Alexa-friendly things — like adding butter to your Trader Joe’s shopping list and controlling your smart home devices.

• Leebein Electric Spin Scrubber for $40 ($20 off Prime): This spin scrubber has made a huge difference in how our editors clean their bathroom — as explained in our year-end roundup we bought. It’s 33 percent off for Prime members right now, which is about $9 off the all-time low.

• Amazon Echo Show 5 for $45 ($45 off): You can also pick up a smaller Echo Show for half price. It went $10 lower back in 2023, but this is the lowest price we’ve tracked since then. The Echo Show 5 has a small screen (smaller than most smartphones) so it’s better for compact spaces like bedside tables or cozy kitchens.

• Anker Docking Station 575 for $140 ($30 off): We tested Anker’s 575 for our guide on docking stations, but it wasn’t our choice as it struggled to support the MacBook Pro. It did fine with a Dell PC, though, so if you’re not an Apple user, this could be a great way to get some extra help on your laptop.

• Anker Nano 65W USB C Charger for $30 ($26 off): If you need a fast charger, you won’t do better than one from Anker. This Nano charger has three USB ports, one Type A and two Type C. Its maximum output of 65 watts should charge phones, tablets and laptops even at its maximum speed.

• Anker Soundcore 2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker for $28 ($12 off): Anker doesn’t just make accessories, the Soundcore brand has impressed us both with earbuds and Bluetooth speakers. The Soundcore 2 is one of the smaller and more affordable models and it’s currently back to its Cyber ​​Week low.
