The Memorial Day 2023 sales have begun – a time when some of the biggest US online retailers offer deals on a variety of music and tech products. We've been digging through the latest bargains and pulled some of our favourites - everything from headphones and speakers, to vinyl and collectables.
One of the first deals to really catch our eye was a neat $80 saving on the Bose QuietComfort in-ear headphones over at Walmart. They usually retail for $279, but you can grab them now for $199.
If you're in the market for a portable Bluetooth speaker, then look no further than this top Memorial Day offer on the Sony SRSXB33, which has been reduced from $178 to just $79 at Walmart.

Memorial Day 2023 Deals
When is Memorial Day 2023?
Memorial Day always takes place on the last Monday in May and this year it’ll take place on Monday, May 29. The day is a federal holiday in the United States and honours military personal who have died while serving their country.
When do the Memorial Day deals start?
While it’s a federal holiday, Memorial Day is also a day where retailers are known to cut stock prices, with sales usually getting under way in the lead up to the last Monday in May and the day itself. While there are plenty of deals to be found right now on headphones, vinyl, pop culture collectables and more, the day itself will bring even more price reductions.
How can I spot the best Memorial Day deals?
Memorial Day 2023 deals will be spread across multiple websites and if you’re looking to grab a bit of a bargain on tech such as headphones, turntables, Bluetooth speakers, smartphones or anything else, we have a few recommendations. First, find out the RRP of the product you’re after. That way you’ll be able to see at a glance how much money you're actually saving.
Keep a list of the products you have your eye on and check back regularly throughout Memorial Day itself to see if that must-have product has been slashed in price. Deals are likely to change as the day progresses so keep tabs on those products.
As for what makes a good deal, it doesn’t necessarily have to be a cut in price – although that will be the main focus. There could be two for one offers on or added extras included with an item. Streaming sites such as Amazon Music Unlimited or Hulu can sometimes give you three months for the price of one for example.
