Best noise-canceling headphones deals
Why we like this
If comfort is your number one priority when it comes to noise-canceling headphones, may I present to you the Bose QuietComfort Ultras. If the name isn’t enough of a giveaway, Mashable’s Sam Mangino tested them out and confirmed, “These are the most comfortable pair of headphones you can buy right now.” These babies offer all-day battery life (even with noise-canceling engaged) and solid noise cancellation quality with three different audio settings. They’re not the most intuitive and the price is a bit steep at $429. However, ahead of Prime Day, you can snag them for a more affordable $349 instead.

Best AirPods deals
Why we like this
While they’re not an essential upgrade if you’re already the proud owner of the first-generation AirPods Pro, the second-generation earbuds are definitely better “in many small ways,” Mashable’s Stan Schroeder writes. He adds that the sound is excellent and the noise cancellation is superb. They’re currently on sale for $168.99, their lowest price ever.

Mashable Deals
We’re big fans of the Bose QuietComfort Ultra earbuds. Mashable’s Timothy Beck Werth said, “In terms of audio quality, noise cancellation, and battery life, I’m more impressed the longer I use these earbuds.” At a regular price of $299 though, they don’t come cheap, but there’s no better time to buy than during Prime Day. They’re down to $229, their lowest price ever, giving you $70 off for 23% savings.

Best Bluetooth speakers deals
Why we like this
The Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3 is a great value speaker when it’s at full price, making it even more of a get marked down about $43. The price cut comes as Ultimate Ears has just released their next gen of the speaker (we’re currently testing it to see if it belongs on the list of our favorites), but it doesn’t seem there’s a stark difference between the two speakers. If you need a speaker that’s compact and rugged, and don’t care too much about having customizable EQ or a companion app, the Wonderboom 3 will check your boxes.
