Labor Day sales are heating up, and while Walmart hasn't announced any official event as of yet, it's still offering some serious bargains right now. The tech and home retailer offers deals year-round, and CNET's dedicated deals writers are bringing you the best of the best every single day. For today, Aug. 18, that includes a chance to grab a top-rated pair of on-ear Sony WH-CH520 headphones for just $40, save $30 on a rugged Garmin Forerunner 55 fitness tracker and score $60 off a second-gen Google Nest video doorbell with a sneaky in-cart discount.

Sony WH-CH520 headphones: $40 (save $19) $40 at Walmart

If you prefer on-ear headphones to bulky over-ear pairs, this is one of our favorite affordable pairs on the market right now. These come with relatively no frills and lack noise-cancelling capabilities, but still have a lot to love, according to our reviewer. Our CNET audio expert found that they "feature good sound for their price, are lightweight and pretty comfortable for on-ear headphones, and also have excellent battery life" (up to 50 hours). They also support multipoint Bluetooth pairing, a customizable EQ and voice assistant compatibility. Only the black pair is on sale at the moment.

Garmin Forerunner 55: $169 (save $30) $169 at Walmart

Garmin makes rugged fitness trackers for serious athletes and adventurers, and this is your chance to pick one up for less. The Forerunner 55 has multiple sport modes to track your time, distance, speed, pace and heart rate during workouts, and monitors your steps, calories, sleep patterns and more throughout the entire day. It will even track your training history over time and recommend different workouts of varying intensities. Plus, it boasts an impressive two-week battery life.

Google Nest doorbell (2nd gen): $120 (save $60) $120 at Walmart

Though this deal is for the wired version, the second-gen Google Nest is one of our favorite video doorbells of 2025. Our reviewer praised its simple design and suite of convenient features, particularly its free cloud storage for up to three hours of footage. It boasts HD video resolution, a 145-degree field of view, night vision and 24/7 live streaming so you can check in any time. Plus, it can even differentiate between people, vehicles, animals and packages for detailed alerts sent right to your phone. And it supports two-way audio so you can easily chat with visitors. Though keep in mind that the wired model will require existing doorbell wiring to be installed. Only the snow color variant is on sale right now, and you'll need to add it to your cart to see the discount.
