The best back-to-school deals at Best Buy

Prepare for back to school with these unbeatable deals from Best Buy.

Save $200 on Apple iPhone 15

Go back to school with Apple’s newest iPhone. Best Buy is currently offering the Apple iPhone 15 smartphone for $200 off, which brings its cost down to $17.49 per month for 36 months.

The Apple iPhone 15 features a 6.1-inch Super Retina XDR display that’s twice as bright in the sun as the display of the iPhone 14. The phone boasts the A16 Bionic chip, a 48 MP main camera with 2x telephoto, all-day battery life and USB-C support. The aluminum and color-infused glass design is durable, water- and dust-resistant. Choose from black, pink, blue, green and yellow.

Sony wireless noise-cancelling headphones (WH1000XM4): $250 (save $100)

If you want Sony-quality sound and superior noise cancelation for less than $300, we recommend the slightly older WH-1000XM4 noise-canceling headphones. They’re $100 off at Best Buy now for back to school.

The WH-1000XM4 headphones offer up to a 30-hour battery life and a quick charge feature that gives you five extra hours of listening with just a 10-minute charge. You also get touch-sensitive controls on the ear cups and a handy speak-to-chat feature that reduces the volume of what you’re listening to when you need to communicate with people around you.

When you just want to focus on the audio you’re listening to, Sony’s noise cancelation technology is top-notch. And we love the audio quality these headphones offer during hands-free calls, even when you’re in a noisy environment. One of the best features these headphones offer is DSEE Extreme, which automatically upscales compressed digitally music files in real-time, so streaming audio will sound even more robust and clear.

Beats Studio Pro: $180 ($170 off)

Listening to music can help you study. The sleek and powerful Beats Studio Pro make a great gift for anyone who takes listening to music seriously. Their top-notch audio quality and variety of features, including fantastic noise cancellation and lossless audio, make them the perfect choice for anyone who spends much of their time with their cans on.

They offer simple one-touch pairing with Apple devices, spatial audio support, and dynamic head-tracking, so the music can follow you no matter where you turn your head. With lossless audio, adaptive noise canceling, and transparency mode, they’re truly customizable so you can enjoy your audio the way you want to. 

And they look great, too: They come in black, deep brown, navy and sandstone, each with a plush headband and ear cushions. Finally, they offer up to 40 hours of battery life, with a 10-minute charge delivering an additional four hours of playtime.

Beats Studio Buds: $100 ($50 off)

The Beats Studio Buds offers two experiences: one that blocks out external noise and another that lets sounds pass through so you can keep abreast of what’s happening around you. They also sound fantastic, with crisp treble and booming bass. They’re great for helping you stay focused when you need to study, too. 

Beats claims that a single charge provides up to eight hours of continuous playtime, while the accompanying charging case extends the total listening time to an impressive 24 hours. Users who prefer tactile controls will appreciate the external tap functionality, which allows for various commands based on the number of taps or the duration of a press.

Numerous reviewers have drawn comparisons between these Bluetooth earbuds and the popular AirPods Pro. The Beats Studio Buds are available in three sleek color options: black, white, and red. This sale price applies to all three. 

Apple 12.9″ iPad Pro M2 (256GB): $899 ($300 off)

The 6th generation iPad Pro, powered by the M2 chip, is still a powerful tablet even though there’s a much more performance-based model with the M4 chip now. The larger touchscreen is perfect for multitasking or running apps that require extra screen space. It also has a gorgeous screen that’s great for playing games, watching movies, or FaceTiming. Okay, and also for homework. 

The iPad Pro is ideal for handling tasks that require lots of computing power, like editing 4K video, working with high-resolution photos, doing any sort of graphic arts work, managing advanced spreadsheets and more.

The iPad Pro offers all-day battery life (up to 10 hours) and supports Wi-Fi 6E for wireless connectivity. It’s the perfect portable option for schoolwork, but it’s also a great entertainment center on the go, too. 

HP LaserJet Pro MFP wireless black-and-white all-in-one printer: $320 ($220 off)

Sometimes you need to print things for school, be it a book report or a permission slip. Take care of it all with the HP LaserJet Pro MFP all-in-one printer. 

It has blazing-fast print speeds and a 50-page auto feeder, so it can power through high-volume jobs effortlessly. It can also perform dual-sided scanning in a single pass to help you finish complex scanning tasks quickly.

But there’s more to this printer than that. HP Smart technology and shortcuts help to make tasks easier so you aren’t stuck navigating an endless maze of menu options. You can also enable print control from anywhere — including your phone or laptop. 

Now you can just handle everything you or your kids need for school from home in a snap. 

Samsung 83″ Class S90C OLED smart TV: $2,800 ($700 off)

Treat your favorite student to a new TV with the Samsung S90C. This OLED TV comes in various sizes, including a huge 83-inch version — perfect for the living room in that first apartment off campus. Thanks to its wide-angle viewing, you don’t need to sit right on top of the screen to get a good picture. 

And speaking of clear views, whatever action you’re watching will appear smooth and fluid, with life-like and accurate colors thanks to the TV’s 120Hz refresh rate and support for HDR10+ and HLG. Like all Samsung smart TVs, this one runs using the Tizen operating system, which makes it easy to access any streaming content from the services you subscribe to.

You don’t have to use this TV for educational purposes. But it will absolutely screen documentaries and other enlightening content if that makes it an easier purchase to digest.
