Whenever there’s a deals event, we always make a big ol’ list of the best Apple deals that you’ll find over the course of the sale. Sometimes, however, we just want to go a little big mad, and tell you all the things that we would actually put down some money on over the course of the sale — so that’s what we’re going to do this Memorial Day. These are some of the best deals around on devices that we actually want to buy.
There are headphones, a massive monitor, and a pretty special Bluetooth speaker in the lineup this time around, so there’s a nice spread for everyone. They’re all in Amazon’s Memorial Day sales event as well, so if you want to grab every single one at the same time (you mad person) then you can combine shipping — nice. Let’s see the devices the iMore crew would actually put some money into this Memorial Day.
Which devices do we want to buy?
Why do we want to buy them?
The Solo 4 have only just been released, and if you’ve read our review, you’ll know they’ve been designed from the ground up for Apple Music lossless playback. That means a more restrained sound signature, an excellent wired input, and some very accurate bass reproduction. They are the Beats of the future — and we’d buy a pair in a heartbeat.
Why do we want to buy it?
We love monitors here at iMore, but we also like making sure we can get as much stuff on one screen as possible — and ultrawide monitors are one of the best ways of doing it. You can get more, uninterrupted screen real estate with an ultrawide monitor, and in the long run, they take up far less room than a classic two-monitor setup. The Odyssey monitors have some extra features as well, such as super-high refresh rates and OLED panels for some incredible image reproduction.
Why do we want to buy it?
Bose makes some very nice audio gear indeed, and it’s Bluetooth speakers are some of the nicest around. This one, the Revolve, sits at the top of the tree, and brings with it some extra features that make it a very tempting buy, even at full price. For one, there’s AirPlay support for when you’re near a WiFi connection, making it easier to stream high-quality tracks to it. There’s also 360-degree audio, so you’ll always hear the music no matter where you are around the speaker.
Why do we want to buy them?
There’s not much to say that we haven’t already — we love the AirPods 2, and you probably will too. The noise canceling is the best in the business, and their comfort brings them a cut above some of the competition. We’d buy them happily at full price, so this reduction just sweetens the deal in our eyes.
