Speck Presidio Wireless Charging Cases for the AirPods Pro 2: $10 Off the Lowest-Energy Price

Last year, Apple launched a new configuration of the AirPods Pro with a wireless charging case that supports Apple’s MagSafe technology, just like the third-gen AirPods. They’re currently available at Best Buy and Walmart for $169.99, which is $10 off their all-time low price, but they’ve still been around for quite some time.

The Speck Presidio case is advertised as black with bright silver, but it is actually black with a soft touch coating. The exterior of the case has a smooth coating that makes it soft to the touch. The case does not have a cutout for the lanyard loop, but it does have a carabiner that should suffice.

The Pro 2 will carry the same steep price tag as their predecessors but you may be able to save $10 by placing your order on Amazon now. While it’s a relatively slight discount, it’s rare to see a brand-new Apple drop with any markdown, so be sure to snag a pair now.

The AirPods Max: A Mid-Generation Bluetooth Headset Designed to Deliver Sound and Balanced Sound in a High-Audios Environment

Although Woot and other retailers have discounted the AirPods Max to as low as $409 in the past, prices have since increased across the board. Right now, for instance, the noise-canceling headphones are only on sale at Amazon and Walmart in select colors for $449.99. If you’re lucky enough to live close to a Micro Center, however, you can pick them up for $369.99.

Apple’s third-gen AirPods are considered to be the middle child in the company’s current AirPods lineup, because of their MagSafe technology and asking price. The shorter stems and improved sound, sweat and water resistance make for a more subtle design, while improved battery life and spatial audio support make them a nice improvement over the last-gen model.

The AirPods Max are not the in-ears that have become synonymous with the name. They’re large and luxurious, comprised of aluminum, steel, and mesh fabric that remains comfortable during extended listening sessions. They also sport excellent noise cancellation, Apple’s spatial audio feature, and wide, balanced sound, even if they lag behind some of their peers when it comes to bass response. They’re not the best noise-canceling headphones for most people — blame the $550 sticker price — but it’s hard to find a pair of Bluetooth headphones that sound better and feature more intuitive controls.

A Deal on a 128GB OnePlus 10 Pro: The DUALWATCH Controller for PS5 and PC at Amazon, Best Buy and Target

If you’re shopping for a phone that’s a departure from the more typical offerings from Google, Apple, or Samsung, you might want to check out this deal on the 128GB OnePlus 10 Pro. The impressive phone is currently priced at $539, which is the lowest price yet. The 10 Pro doesn’t blow away the competition but offers some impressive specifications alongside all of the flagship features you’d expect at a relatively low price point. While the camera array isn’t quite as powerful as those seen on flagship phones from Samsung or Apple, the 10 Pro still offers excellent performance thanks to its Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor and 8GB of RAM. There aren’t many Android phones that can match the overall performance of the OnePlus 10 Pro at this price, making it worth a look if your current phone is falling behind the curve.

The Studio Buds have good sound quality, noise cancellation, and a cozy fit, as well as support for both the Android and iOS operating systems. They don’t offer the same features as Apple’s iconic AirPods, but their broader compatibility may make them the better choice for you.

The wing tips on the Fit Pro earbuds help keep them safe during workouts. Their sound has a lot of bass and kick and that makes it good to keep you motivated.

Attention, fellow deal hunters and cheapskates: it’s the Monday before Christmas, so if you still have gifts to buy, you’d best hurry. We’re here to help you do that without overspending. The Sony DUALWATCH controller for the PS5 and PC is $49.99 at Amazon, Best Buy and Target, and will be on sale again soon. The best part of this deal is that you can get up to a $25 discount on the dualsense color, regardless of what you decide to buy.

You can choose from the stock white, midnight black, cosmic red, galactic purple, nova pink, starlight blue, and even the most recent gray camouflage. You get all the niceties of the dualsense controller, like excellent haptics, adaptive triggers that add tension to each pull in some games, and built-in mic and headphones, even if you choose a controller that blends in.

There is a controller deal for Xbox users. Turtle Beach’s Recon Cloud controller is steeply discounted for the first time, dropping to $69.95 (about $30 off) at Amazon or direct from Turtle Beach. The controller is a wired controller, similar to the Recon wired USB-C controller, and includes a built-in wireless connection for both PC and XBOX. The phone mount makes it easier to play games on the go. To that end, it’s a particularly great fit for anyone with an Xbox Game Pass subscription for cloud game streaming over Wi-Fi or cellular.

At the lowest price yet, you can get a Nest Hub smart display at Best Buy and Target. This $55 discount is a one-day deal at both retailers, and it’s a great value even though it isn’t as cheap as the $39 price we saw during Black Friday.

Anyone who loves seeing family pictures can benefit from the latest version of the Nest Hub, which has a seven-inch display screen and allows the display of photos from a shared album. The screen can be adjusted to look as if it is a real picture frame. Of course, it comes with Google Assistant voice controls for controlling smart home accessories, calling up some music to play on its tiny (but decent-sounding) speaker, or getting the weather.

A year ago, I bought a Nest Hub for my mom for a similar bargain, and it was a hit. I may have played a small role as her favorite son. You can read our review.
