Must read

Amazon Prime Day is here, offering discounts during the 48-hour sale, exclusive to Prime members. You can also find great deals from other retailers during Prime Day, such as Best Buy. In fact, the tech and electronics retailer is having a Black Friday in July Sale this year, which runs from July 15 to July 17. During the three-day event, Best Buy is offering deals on smartwatches, gaming and entertainment from brands like Apple, Samsung, Jabra and more.  

As a commerce editor for NBC Select, I frequently cover shopping events like Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday, so I know how to find deals that are actually worth buying. Below, I rounded up the best deals from Best Buy’s Black Friday in July Sale event. Plus, all of the deals listed below are at their lowest price in at least three months.

I’ll continue updating this list throughout Prime Day.

The Jabra Elite is also a staff favorite and we included an earlier version of them in our roundup of the best wireless earbuds.
