It's October, and while 2026 being one of the most expensive years for tech may be causing some consumers to tremble in fear, the latest items from Costco likely won't scare you. Halloween may be around the corner, but the only scary thing about snagging the latest tech should be deciding how you're going to charge everything. If you're looking for some great options, here's some Costco finds you may want to put in your trick-or-treat bag.

Spanning headphones from the brand that brought consumers active noise cancellation (ANC) features to a Wi-Fi enabled deadbolt that has smart home support, Costco is also offering a smartphone gimbal that can help keep your photographs or video stabilized. Additionally, a certain Bluetooth speaker may also do wonders for those that like connectivity options and outdoor capabilities, and each of these items comes with their own savings through the big-box retailer.

Techies are sure to recognize many of the brands below, and we also looked at what online users had to say about these items. We know a number of reasons you should always buy your tech from Costco, but users lacking a membership should remember they can still shop through the retailer so long as they're willing to incur a 5% surcharge. However, don't forget a membership can also help you net an extended warranty on certain products. Halloween may be about dressing up, but these items can decorate your life year-round.

Along with these Bose QuietComfort SC Headphones being the sequel to Bose's noise-canceling headphones, Costco also dropped the price to $319.99, saving online customers a little money off the typical $329 MSRP. Some may question 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 them one of the first companies to release active noise-canceling (ANC) headphones with its Bose Aviation Headset. The company soon moved this tech to the consumer sector, and the second-generation QuietComforts continue this trend.

Available in an assortment of colors on the Costco website, these Bose headphones continue where the first-generation left off, which includes a new sliding headband alongside updated earcups that have a pill-shaped design. Something new about the second-generation is that they also include Bose's TrueSpatial Technology, which the company promises offers a more immersive and natural sound. A new Cinema Mode may also appeal to movie buffs, as it promises to produce layered sounds when watching video content.

Looking at what r/headphones subreddit users have to say about these headphones, one found them to be underrated when it comes to comfort, whereas another mentioned that most people will appreciate their bass-forward tunings (though users can change EQ settings with the Bose app). However, one user had issues with the promised 24 hours of battery life (charged via included USB-C cable), although another did state that these headphones had their favorite sound profile over other similar models.

While the company name may have you thinking you're late for class, Yale is actually a security company with over 180 years in the industry. With a typical MSRP of $299.99, Costco dropped the price to $199.99 on the Yale Assure Lock 2 Touch Deadbolt, but thankfully all the important features are still present. For those thinking about home security, Yale's touch device works with most U.S. standard 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 making wireless connections, though 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 from around the web have to say, one customer stated that installation is easy and they had no issues with lock alignment, though another did find the unit itself to be bulky due to components. With customers finding it easy to use, some do complain about battery drain, though Yale promises 3-months of battery life with the required four AA batteries when using Wi-Fi (9-months with Bluetooth). For what it's worth, we found one Yale product to be good for those who rent.

Focusing on "intelligent technology" since 2014, Hohem makes a variety of gimbals and stands built for smartphones and their cameras, and Costco has the Hohem iSteady M7 AI Tracking Smartphone Gimbal available for $199.99, knocking a large amount off its typical $299.99 MSRP. Along with a 1.4-inch full-color detachable touchscreen remote for accessing quick settings and adjusting certain parameters, this gimbal also includes a magnetic tracker backed by artificial intelligence for tracking subjects.

Along with 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 1.1lbs (500g) along with three expansion ports to provide support for accessories such as phone lenses, fill lights, and microphones. A built-in extension pole is also included.

For what it's worth, BGR has found the iSteady M7 to be one of the best gimbals you can buy for an iPhone, and plenty of customers from around the web also have positive things to say about the image stabilizing accessory. Online users appreciate this one for its capabilities of capturing smooth footage while also giving it points for its build quality. Though some customers note this gimbal can have a learning curve. One user also notes they had issues using the device with a smartphone case, though multiple users do also appreciate the device's tracking abilities.

Ultimate Ears started making in-ear monitors for musicians way back in 1995, though the company has now expanded into other audio engineering technologies (while also bragging they made the first mobile speaker with 360-degree sound). Fortunately, users can get a sample of that 360-degree tech with the Ultimate Ears Megaboom 4 SE Portable Bluetooth Speaker, which goes for $149.99 through the Costco website.

Offering up to 20-hours of battery life alongside 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 like Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music to allow users to create one-touch playlists. Looking at durability, the Megaboom can withstand drops up to 3.28-feet (1 meter), and is capable of floating alongside waterproof capabilities.

Around 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 them well during outdoor paddle board excursions (complimenting the waterproof and floating design), whereas another complimented its ability to connect to other speakers with a companion app. On the flip side, some users do report issues with the device's pairing mode, while some saw little difference in this speaker from the Megaboom 3. Nonetheless, you can check out why we consider Ultimate Ears to be one of the top Bluetooth speaker brands based on sound quality.

With most of these items being new at Costco, they may not have the typical star-ratings and user reviews we typically look for when searching websites for deals and popular devices. Nonetheless, we still went to familiar brand names in their respective industry, and scoured the web to see what actual users have to say about these items based on real experiences. When applicable, we also pulled from our own knowledge of a company's other products, or culled from our own experiences, when available.
