At ZDNET, we review hundreds of devices every year and constantly track deals. We know which budget gadgets are actually worth your money.

I have spotted solid price cuts on great picks like the JBL Go 4, Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max, and a pair of midrange Sony headphones.
The best Spring Sale deals under $50
- Current price: $16 (35% off)

Kicking off the list is the LISEN Retractable Car Charger, a handy 4-in-1 charging hub that makes powering devices in your vehicle much easier. It plugs into your car’s cigarette lighter socket and includes a built-in USB-C cable, a Lightning cable, a USB-C port, and a USB-A port. The two cables extend up to 31.5 inches, making it easy for back-seat passengers to charge their devices.
Several versions are on sale. The plain gray model is the cheapest, but if you’re willing to spend a bit more, black and pink models are available for a bit of pizzazz.

The JBL Go 4 is a tough little Bluetooth speaker built for travel. It measures 3.7 x 1.7 x 3 inches, weighs under seven ounces, and is completely dustproof, making it a perfect beach buddy. Despite its small size, the Go 4 delivers a big sound, with punchy bass that feels far larger than the speaker itself. Most color options sell for $50, but at the time of this writing, the JBL Go 4 in Red is on sale for $45.
- Current price: $48 (31% off)
- Original price: $70
Sony has some solid midrange headphones in its catalog, and one of the best is the WH-CH520. They’re lightweight and comfortable with an on-ear fit that lets in some ambient sound. The pair also offers excellent battery life, lasting up to 50 hours on a single charge. Right now, every color is on sale, from the standard blue to the more muted cappuccino brown.
Apple’s AirTag is the best small accessory you could ever buy, especially if you tend to misplace things. The new generation improves on the original by including a louder built-in speaker and wider tracking range. Battery life is still stupendous. It’s capable of lasting a year straight on a single battery.
- Current price: $35 (10% off)
- Original price: $39
If you’re looking for an Android version of AirTags, check out the Chipolo Loop. Like other Bluetooth trackers, it helps you locate lost items by triggering a loud 125dB alert. It features Out of Range alerts, which notify users if they’ve left something behind, and it can even double as a remote camera shutter for your phone.
- Current price: $27 (10% off)
- Original price: $30
The Anker Nano Power Bank is a portable charger that plugs directly into your phone’s USB-C port. Thanks to its compact, lipstick-sized design and foldable connector, it slips easily inside your bag and jeans pocket. Keep in mind, this isn’t a high-capacity power bank meant to fully recharge your phone, but it’s perfect for quick top-ups.

Amazon’s Fire TV Stick 4K Max is the most advanced model in its series. In addition to smooth 4K streaming, it offers 16GB of storage, supports cloud gaming, and comes with Ambient Experience, which lets you display over 2,000 pieces of artwork on your TV. And that just scratches the surface of what this little device can do.
- Current price: $40 (20% off)
- Original price: $50
Electric toothbrushes are severely underrated. They can better target plaque in those hard-to-reach places. This Philips model features a pressure sensor to protect sensitive teeth and gums. Don’t worry if you forget to recharge the toothbrush. Philips’ device can last two weeks on a single charge.
There is another version of the Sonicare 4100 that comes with additional brush heads inside a plastic case.
- Current price: $45 (36% off)
- Original price: $70
Ever wondered what your pets are up to while you’re away? The Blink Mini 2K+ indoor camera makes it easy to check in from anywhere. Like the name suggests, the device records in 2K resolution. It features motion detection to automatically start recording when something moves in front of it, night vision to see in low-light conditions, and a wide field of view.
Digital notebooks like the Rocketbook Core are clever devices. You jot down notes on its reusable pages with a special pen, scan your writings using the Rocketbook app, and then wipe the pages clean with a cloth so you can use them again and again. We’re recommending the Rocketbook Core in particular because of its size. At about 6 x 8.8 inches, it’s compact enough to fit easily in backpacks, purses, and briefcases.
- Current price: $22 (12% off)
- Original price: $25
The JBL Go Air Pop are among my favorite earbuds I’ve ever owned. In fact, I have three pairs. They sound great with strong bass output, they’re comfortable, and they last a really long time. According to the official Amazon listing, the earbuds can last over 32 hours on a single charge.
There are three color options currently available: Rose (red), Slate (blue, and Teal (green). Only the Slate model is on sale at $22.
I don’t know about you, but the standard two-outlet wall setup just isn’t enough, especially if you have a lot of gadgets to keep charged. A power strip works, but it’s easy to trip over and kick. That’s why I recommend the QINLIANF 5 Outlet Extender.
It plugs directly into your wall outlet and expands it into five individual outlets. The device comes with 1680J surge protection to guard against sudden power spikes. I recommend grabbing the version with two USB-C ports and two USB-A ports.
