It’s October, and while 2026 is one of the most expensive years in tech that may make some consumers cower in fear, Costco’s latest items probably won’t scare you. Halloween may be right around the corner, but the only scary thing about acquiring the latest technology should be deciding how you’re going to charge for it all. If you’re looking for great options, here are some Costco finds you might want to put in your treat bag.

Spanning headphones from the brand that has brought consumers from active noise cancellation (ANC) features to a Wi-Fi-enabled deadbolt with smart home support, Costco also offers a smartphone gimbal that can help you stabilize your photos or videos. Plus, a certain Bluetooth speaker can also do wonders for those who like connectivity options and outdoor capabilities, and each of these items carries its own savings at the big-box retailer.

Technicians will definitely recognize many of the brands below, and we also looked at what online users had to say about these items. We know of a number of reasons why you should still buy your tech from Costco, but users who aren’t members should remember that they can still buy from the retailer as long as they’re willing to pay an extra 5%. However, remember that a subscription can also help you benefit from an extended warranty on certain products. Halloween may be all about dressing up, but these items can decorate your life all year long.

In addition to these Bose QuietComfort SC headphones being the follow-up to Bose’s noise-canceling headphones, Costco also dropped the price to $319.99, allowing online customers to save a little money off the typical MSRP of $329. Some might wonder why Bose headphones are so expensive in the first place. One reason has to do with the company’s research and development investments, which helped make it one of the first companies to launch active noise canceling (ANC) headphones with its Bose Aviation headphones. The company quickly moved this technology to the consumer sector, and the second-generation QuietComforts continue that trend.

Available in an assortment of colors on Costco’s website, these Bose headphones continue where the first generation left off, which includes a new sliding headband as well as updated earbuds with a pill-shaped design. What’s new about the second generation is that it also includes Bose’s TrueSpatial technology, which the company says provides more immersive and natural sound. A new Cinema mode might also appeal to movie buffs, as it promises to produce layered sounds when watching video content.

Looking at what users on the r/headphones subreddit had to say about these headphones, one found them to be underrated when it came to comfort, while another mentioned that most people will like their forward bass adjustments (although users can change the EQ settings with the Bose app). However, one user had issues with the promised 24 hours of battery life (charged via the included USB-C cable), although another said these headphones had their preferred sound profile compared to other similar models.

Although the company name might make you think you’re late for class, Yale is actually a security company with over 180 years of experience in the industry. With a typical MSRP of $299.99, Costco has dropped the price to $199.99 on the Yale Assure Lock 2 Touch Deadbolt, but luckily all the important features are still present. For those thinking about home security, Yale’s touchscreen device works with most standard U.S. entry doors and offers keyless entry. Yale also boasts that the device can be installed with just a screwdriver.

Supporting Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and even Philips Hue smart accessories, this Yale deadbolt also includes Wi-Fi and Bluetooth for establishing wireless connections, although users can also rely on the touchpad to scan their fingerprint for entry. Customers can also use the touch keypad, auto unlock (optional) or rely on the Yale Access app. The app also allows users to send entry codes to guests.

Looking at what customers around the web have to say, one customer said installation is easy and they had no issues with aligning the locks, although another found the unit itself cumbersome due to the components. With customers finding it easy to use, some complain about battery drain, although Yale promises 3 months of battery life on the required four AA batteries when using Wi-Fi (9 months with Bluetooth). For what it’s worth, we found a Yale product to be good for those who rent.

Focusing on “smart technology” since 2014, Hohem makes a variety of gimbals and mounts designed for smartphones and their cameras, and Costco has the Hohem iSteady M7 AI Smartphone Tracking Gimbal available for $199.99, which is a considerable drop from its typical MSRP of $299.99. In addition to a detachable 1.4-inch color touchscreen remote control for accessing quick settings and adjusting certain parameters, this gimbal also includes an AI-backed magnetic tracker for subject tracking.

Aside from tracking capabilities that can help focus on objects, people, and animals, the iSteady M7 also supports a variety of video and streaming apps, including WhatsApp, TikTok, FaceBook, Snapchat, and more. For accessories and your smartphone, Hohem has upgraded its payload support up to 1.1 lb (500 g) as well as three expansion ports to support accessories like phone lenses, fill lights, and microphones. A built-in extension cord is also included.

For what it’s worth, BGR found the iSteady M7 to be one of the best gimbals you can buy for an iPhone, and many customers around the web also have positive things to say about the image stabilization accessory. Online users praise this one for its ability to capture smooth images while giving it points for its build quality. Although some customers note that this gimbal may have a learning curve. One user also notes that they had issues using the device with a smartphone case, although several users also appreciate the device’s tracking capabilities.

Ultimate Ears began making in-ear headphones for musicians in 1995, although the company has now expanded into other audio engineering technologies (while boasting that it made the first mobile speaker with 360-degree sound). Luckily, users can get a sample of this 360-degree technology with the Ultimate Ears Megaboom 4 SE portable Bluetooth speaker, which costs $149.99 on Costco’s website.

Offering up to 20 hours of battery life with USB-C charging (cable not included), the Megaboom 4 SE also has a Bluetooth range of 147 feet (45 meters). Touting its deep bass capabilities, the Megaboom 4 SE can also work with popular streaming services such as Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music to allow users to create one-touch playlists. In terms of durability, the Megaboom can withstand drops of up to 3.28 feet (1 meter) and is capable of floating as well as waterproof capabilities.

Across the web, users give the Megaboom 4 SE points for its sound quality, with one noting that it can be a solid choice for medium to large rooms. At least one user noted that the device suited him well on outdoor paddleboarding excursions (complementing its waterproof, buoyant design), while another complimented its ability to connect to other speakers with a companion app. On the other hand, some users report issues with the device’s pairing mode, while others see little difference between this speaker and the Megaboom 3. Still, you can find out why we consider Ultimate Ears one of the best Bluetooth speaker brands in terms of sound quality.

Since most of these items are new to Costco, they may not have the star ratings and user reviews we typically look for when searching websites for popular deals and appliances. Nonetheless, we still consulted familiar brands in their respective industries and scoured the web to see what real users have to say about these items, based on real experiences. Where appropriate, we also drew on our own knowledge of a company’s other products or our own experiences, where available.
