I’ll continue updating this list, so be sure to refresh regularly for new deals and steals.

The AirPods Max headphones are equipped with Apple’s H1 chip and top-tier software to deliver high-quality audio that keeps you immersed. There are also features such as lossless, spatial, and dynamic audio to enhance the listening experience. With excellent noise-canceling capabilities, you can block out surrounding noise and focus on your audio. The memory foam cushioned earcups provide a comfortable fit for extended wear. If you’re an avid Apple ecosystem user, these headphones will work seamlessly with iPhone, Mac, and iPad, letting you switch audio between Apple devices.

Audio expert Tim Gideon awarded the headphones an “Excellent” rating. In our Apple AirPods Max review, he said, “Apple’s AirPods Max headphones deliver excellent audio performance, top-notch noise cancellation, and a bevy of useful features in an absolutely gorgeous design for a bit too much money.” With this deal, price is less of an issue.

The Beats Studio Pro has plenty of features to create a more immersive soundscape tailored to your surroundings, such as spatial audio and head-tracking. The headphones also include lossless audio via USB-C and three built-in sound profiles so you can customize your listening experience. Whether you’re trying to keep noise out or stay aware of your environment, you can switch between the active noise cancellation or transparency modes. The battery lasts up to 40 hours per charge, and a 10-minute fast charge can provide up to four hours of additional playback. This ensures your headphones are always ready.

Tim Gedeon awarded a “Good” rating in our Beats Studio Pro review. He said, “The Beats Studio Pro headphones produce a pleasing mix of boosted lows and sculpted highs, but they don’t cancel noise nearly as well as their top-tier price indicates.”

The AirPods 4 earbuds are comfortable and fit snugly in your ears so that they won’t fall out. The buds are also rated IP54, meaning that they’re dust-, sweat-, and water-resistant. Whether you’re in the gym or on a hike, they’ll withstand most activities. These earbuds feature spatial audio and head-tracking to enhance your listening experience. Equipped with Apple’s H2 chip, the voice isolation capabilities are much better, improving voice call quality by reducing background noise. The battery life is impressive as well. You can get up to five hours of listening time on a single charge and 30 hours total with the charging case.

Audio expert Tim Gideon awarded it an “Excellent” rating. In our Apple AirPods 4 review, he said, “The AirPods 4 are Apple’s most affordable wireless earbuds and offer exceptional audio performance for an open-ear design.” For a sub $100 deal, you’re getting excellent value.

The Apple Pencil Pro is an excellent stylus for artists and students alike. Its new squeeze gesture is especially useful for artists, and the haptic feedback feels responsive. The stylus is also supported by Apple’s Find My network, meaning that if you lose it, you can locate and retrieve it. While it only works with the latest iPad Pro and iPad Air tablets, particularly those with M2, M3, M4, and M5 chips, along with the iPad mini (A17 Pro), it’s by far the best Apple stylus.

Managing editor Eric Zeman awarded it an “Outstanding” rating. In our Apple Pencil Pro review, he said, “The Apple Pencil Pro is the stylus that serious artists and creators should get for the latest iPad Pro or iPad Air thanks to its advanced writing features and controls.”

The PS5 Slim Digital Edition makes a great gift for your gaming-obsessed friend. With an amazing suite of console exclusives, including Ghost of Yotei, God of War Ragnarok, and The Last of Us Part 2, you’ll be immersed in some of the most engrossing worlds ever created in gaming. If you become a PlayStation Plus subscriber, you’ll also gain access to hundreds of extra digital games for seemingly endless entertainment. The DualSense controller also enhances the playing experience, as it utilizes tactile feedback to make you feel what’s going on in the game. Whether it’s the resistance from the pull of a bow or the explosive recoil from a shotgun, you’re sure to feel the power of the PS5 in your hands.

Principal writer Will Greenwald awarded the disc version of the PS5 Slim an “Excellent” rating. In our PS5 Slim review, he said, “The 2023 PlayStation 5 (aka the PS5 Slim) is just as excellent as the original, but features a modular disc drive and more storage capacity.”

The Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses use Meta AI to provide real-time directions and recommendations, keeping you connected to the world while delivering important information. Going to another country? These glasses will translate conversations or text. It’s the perfect travel companion. There are also five microphones throughout the frame and nose pad, so you can use voice controls to take photos and make calls, which is incredibly convenient. The glasses last about 4 hours, and the charging case provides an additional 32 hours. That way, they’re always ready to go!

Senior writer Andrew Gebhart awarded them a “Good” rating. In our Ray-Ban Meta Glasses review, he said, “The Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses can’t replace your smartphone or earbuds, but they make the strongest case yet for adding camera and audio technology to your frames.”
