Did you know that Macy’s has a pretty hefty section of tech products? Neither did we.
The ShopBillboard team was shopping around, as we do, and stumbled across a treasure trove of products at Macy’s. While the retailer is best known for beauty and fashion, its technology section is underrated. Macy’s stocks a ton of categories from gaming and camera equipment to headphones, record players and speakers from big brands including Beats, JBL, JLab, Sony, Victrola and more. The retailer has a few big brands on sale too, with up to 43% off on some must-have tech items. We’re talking affordable record players and portable speakers with high-quality sound at prices that can’t be beat.
The selection is surprising for such a fashion and beauty-focused retailer. While browsing, we also found a few interesting items that we haven’t seen anywhere else from brands like Nintendo. All this to say we hope you give Macy’s tech section a chance. There are a bunch of goodies, especially for music lovers, that we know our readers would love. Keep reading to shop our picks from Macy’s technology section. While you’re on your tech journey, why not shop our picks for the best noise-canceling headphones?
Beats Studio Pro Bluetooth Wireless Noise Cancellation Headphones
Beats Studio Pro Bluetooth Headphones come in three colorways on Macy’s website. The style is on sale for 43% off right now and features ANC or active noise cancellation.
Right now, Beats’ Studio Pro Bluetooth Wireless Headphones are available for 43% off at Macy’s. The Bluetooth style comes in three colorways on the website, although the Sandstone hue has to be our favorite. As for capabilities, these headphones have strong ANC or active noise canceling along with personalized spatial audio and dynamic head tracking, so you don’t miss a minute of your chosen audio. All of these facets come together to create a very immersive listening experience. If all that isn’t appealing, the battery life is pretty substantial at 40 hours. With your purchase of these headphones, you’ll also receive a nifty carrying case to store your tech and all its accessories.
JLab Go Tones+ True Wireless Earbuds in Brown
JLab’s Go Tones+ Wireless Earbuds come in a range of neutral, almost flesh tones. The style is extremely affordable and is a great starter pair of earbuds for those looking to switch from over-the-ear styles.
Interestingly, JLab’s Go Tones+ Wireless Earbuds all come in neutral flesh tones, similar to those found from Kim Kardashian’s past Beats collaborations. If you’re looking for a dupe in terms of colorways, these might be your best bet. You’ve got seven colors total, all for $24.99, an extremely affordable price tag considering the in-demand colors and tech capabilities.
The Go Tones+ have Be Aware Mode, which, in simple terms, means the buds use external microphones to feed ambient, environmental sounds into your ears while you listen to music or your podcasts, so you can stay aware of your surroundings as you jam out. This facet is great for runners or if you want to listen to audio at the office without tuning the world out completely. Additionally, you’ve got 35+ hours of battery life and a slim case for easy storage. If you’re new to earbuds and want to switch things up, these JLab earbuds are an excellent starter pair.
JBL Go 4 Ultra-Portable Bluetooth Speaker
JBL’s Go 4 Ultra-Portable Bluetooth Speaker comes in a slew of colorways, although the snazzy camo is our favorite. The price point for the sound quality and portability is also a win for us.
When we think of speakers, often, most people aren’t opting for portability. We’d argue this is a very important factor when it comes to searching for that perfect speaker. It’s just as important as sound quality, in our humble opinion. JBL’s Go 4 Ultra-Portable Bluetooth Speaker is that mix of portability and sound quality that we love.
It’s compact but produces a clear sound and punchy bass. The speaker is also waterproof and dustproof and has a seven-hour battery life, enough to get a party going. If you want more from your speaker, you can pair it up with another Go 4 for that big, booming stereo sound. For just $49.95, you’re getting a durable model that you can take everywhere, from the gym to a day trip hiking.
Bose SoundLink Max Portable Speaker
This is another portable model that is less pocket-sized but still very portable thanks to the handle. It also has a longer battery life at 20 hours.
Unlike the JBL speaker mentioned earlier, this portable Bose model isn’t pocket-sized, but it does the trick. It’s all thanks to the handle at the top of the all-black speaker that gives it that portability most speakers of that size can’t handle. The SoundLink Max has deep, thrumming bass and impressive stereo sound that often trumps bigger models. The portable style also has a hefty battery life of 20 hours, which is great for entertaining.
Portability in a speaker often means it needs to be durable, which is exactly what this Bose model is. Not only is this speaker water and dust-proof, but it is also shock and rust-resistant. We’d recommend this model for those looking for a less casual portable option than the JBL that brings the sound and a long-lasting battery life.
GabbaGoods BriteBeats Kids Volume Limiting Bluetooth Headphones with LED EarCaps
This kid’s GabbaGoods model is a volume-limiting style that protects your child’s ears while they’re jamming out or watching movies. The style is also extremely adorable with all the little bow accents.
Pink and full of personality, these kid’s GabbaGoods Bluetooth Headphones are made to protect your child’s ears while jamming out to tunes or watching movies on their iPads thanks to a built-in volume limiter. These headphones also have interactive LED light-up earcaps that pulse to the music your child is listening to. If you’re worried about these headphones constricting your child, they can be adjusted to fit their little head. Boosting the cuteness levels even further, these headphones come with a ton of bow accents.
Victrola Solid Suitcase Bluetooth Record Player in Red
This record player is portable because it is situated in a suitcase with a handle. The color options for this Victrola model are also super interesting, with choices like red and even cobalt blue.
Oftentimes, record players can cost an arm and a leg; however, this Victrola model is an exception to that rule at just $69.99. This model is nestled in a bright red suitcase for portability and has built-in speakers that elevate your music-listening experience. The suitcase record player is fitted with a 3.5mm aux-in for playing music from non-Bluetooth devices. You’ve also got an RCA aux-in and headphone jack if you want to listen to your records in a more private, immersive way.
YUNZII X71 Wireless Hot Swappable Transparent Mechanical Keyboard
This keyboard is pretty cool visually, thanks to the clear cover and RGB lighting built in. It also has a long-lasting 4600mAh battery, ideal for gaming or working long hours.
Whether you’re looking to upgrade your PC gaming setup or just spruce up your old keyboard, this YUNZII X71 Wireless Hot Swappable Transparent Mechanical Keyboard is an interesting pick that will certainly stand out from your prior models. Retailing for $113.39, 30% off now, the keyboard is transparent with RGB lighting built in, with 14 settings that allow users to switch up their experience.
We admit we love this keyboard because of what it brings to a gaming or office setup cosmetically; however, it also has some pretty nifty techy features too. A multilayer foam inserted in the keyboard ensures quiet typing. The board is also super responsive and has a long-lasting 4600mAh battery, ideal for long hours of gaming or work.
Sony PlayStation 5 Digital Edition Slim Console
This is a slim digital edition PlayStation 5, meaning it has no disc slot. The slim design means your console won’t take up a bunch of space like other OG consoles.
Sony’s PlayStation 5 Digital Edition Slim Console is an all-digital console, meaning games that you own on the console are all digital. There is no disc slot for physical games, so you’ll buy your games on the PlayStation store and download them to your console. This move is a time-saving one because it allows the player to play all the games they want, without having to go out and purchase physical titles. It’s all there at the touch of a button.
Many big console creators have switched to this model in favor of saving the player time and money overall. The console is a standing one with a slim profile that also doesn’t take up too much space. As far as performance goes, games play without many hiccups (if any at all although it depends on the title) and the interface is easy to navigate.
Nintendo Game and Watch Mario Edition
The Game and Watch system was released in Japan in 1980 and was the company’s handheld gaming console. Fast-forward to today, and you can get your hands on the console still booted up with the original Super Mario Bros.
Way back in the 1980s, Nintendo dropped the Game and Watch, the first ever handheld gaming console for the company at the time. The historic piece can still be purchased today at Macy’s for $49.99. This is a special-edition gold version booted up with the original Super Mario Bros. The console also comes with a digital clock that changes with Mario-related animations as time ticks on.
Sony PULSE Elite Wireless Gaming Headset for PlayStation
These headphones are made for the PlayStation 5 and PlayStation Portal; they are compatible with PC, Mac and even mobile devices. The headset is made with an ergonomic design that includes a flexible fit and a retractable microphone.
Sony’s PULSE Elite Wireless Gaming Headset was made specifically for the PlayStation 5 and the portable PlayStation Portal; however, it is compatible with PC, Mac and even mobile devices. I had a chance to try out these headsets while playing Ghost of Yotei and the sound quality was out of this world. It felt like I was actually in protagonist Atsu’s shoes, trekking through the Japanese countryside, swordfighting with skill.
The design is flexible to fit any and all heads and features an ergonomic retractable mic that changes up the profile if you’re not using it. These headphones also have Ai-Enhanced Noise Rejection that really cancels out any outside noise, letting you focus in on the game and immerse yourself in your chosen world.
Hatch Restore 3 Sunrise Alarm Clock in Putty
This is an alarm clock and sound machine all in one. The alarm clock hybrid is used by the likes of busy musicians like Rihanna and Lizzo who use the clock to unwind and keep track of time.
Hatch Restore’s Sunrise Alarm Clock isn’t like many alarm clocks on the market, and it certainly isn’t anything like the alarm clock on your phone. It’s so popular that even Rihanna and Lizzo apparently use it. With both singers’ busy schedules, we’re sure this product offers them time to unwind and keep track of all life’s hectic moments. The alarm clock went viral on TikTok and acts as a sound machine, alarm clock and smart light that can all be controlled via Hatch Restore’s app, all in one. It’s a screen-free way to get the sleep you need and a warm wakeup too.
