The Sonos Roam 2 next to a pool, blanket, and pair of sunglasses. — The Sonos Roam 2 is already $40 off ahead of Labor Day, dropping it to $139.

Labor Day marks the unofficial end of summer, and while the prospect of cooler weather and shorter days can be a tough adjustment, at least there is always a great selection of deals to combat the post-summer blues. You’ll have to wait until September 1st to celebrate the actual holiday, sure, but in the meantime, we’ve gone ahead and rounded up the best discounts you can get so far on a variety of Verge-approved gadgets and goods, from earbuds to the latest e-readers.

Being that it’s nearly the end of August, it’s also a good reminder that the holidays will be here before you know it. Thankfully, some gadgets — including Sony’s WH-CH520 headphones, Roborock’s 35A robot vacuum, and TP-Link’s X55 Wi-Fi routers — have fallen to their lowest price to date, making now an excellent time to get a head start on your holiday shopping. After all, there’s no guarantee they’ll drop lower in price, even when Black Friday and Cyber Monday roll around.
