Save $79 on AirPods Pro
Amazon
The AirPods Pro are Apple’s newest headphones, and they’re the best totally wireless earbuds we’ve used. They get five hours of music playback, and automatically recharge when placed in their case. The AirPods Pro main feature is active noise cancellation, which uses microphones to block outside sounds from reaching your ears. This feature is rare in earbuds, and works really well. Amazon’s $79 discount brings the AirPods Pro down to their lowest price ever.
Note: Apple’s non-Pro AirPods are available for $89.99 as a Prime Day special.

It has a 14-inch screen, 16GB of RAM (memory), 512GB of storage, a 1080P HD webcam, and an M1 Pro processor. It comes in two colors: silver and space gray, so you can match your iPhone or iPad. The Pro’s key feature is its speed; it has a 13 times faster performance for graphics-intensive apps and games. Amazon knocked $200 off the MacBook Air’s price, which means its back down to its lowest price ever.
Get 50% Off on Beats Studio3 Headphones

While Apple has their own over-ear headphones, the Beats Solo Pros are the next best thing.

Beats says the Studio3s get 22 hours of battery life per charge, and offer three hours of music playback when you plug them in for 10 minutes. Like the AirPods Pro, the Beats Solo Pros support active noise cancellation, so you can tune out the world when you listen to your music. This $127 Prime Day discount brings the headphones down to their lowest price yet.
