What we love

I’m still using one of these from years ago – it might be one of the best $20 purchases I have ever made. I installed one of these under a couple of the desks I have around the house and they have remained 100% reliable and effective for longer than I can remember. If you’re looking for a super clean and simple way to keep your cans stowed and neatly out of the way when not in use, I really can’t recommend The Anchor enough.

Amazon Big Spring Beats deals: Up to 40% off headphones, Powerbeats Pro 2 $50 off, more

Alongside the AirPods Pro 3 deal and the AirPods Max 2 pre-order offers (here’s our hands-on review of Apple’s brand new over-ears), we are also tracking a host of notable Beats deals for the final day of the Amazon Big Spring Sale. We already featured some of the new all-time lows on the latest Beats Powerbeats Fit, but there are also several deals live on the Powerbeats Pro 2, over-ears Solo 4, and more.

76% off/From $170

As part of its wider sale on headphones and home audio gear, Woot is now offering Dyson’s Zone noise-cancelling headphones down at $169.99 Prime shipped (a $6 delivery fee will apply otherwise). These headphones made a huge splash when they debuted carrying a $950 price tag and a detachable air ventilation mask, and they’re still sitting around the $700 mark at Amazon. We saw them drop to roughly the $280 range in August last year, but today’s offer takes things much further with an additional $110 in savings off that previous low, ultimately landing at $780 off the original price and marking a new all-time low. If you’d rather score the brand’s relatively newer OnTrac ANC headphones, Amazon currently has them in both ANC aluminum and Copper finishes at $249.99 shipped. That’s 50% off its regular $500 price tag and the lowest we have tracked for them. While these headphones are different from the usual models available out there and fetched a premium at launch, they’re a lot easier to recommend now at their discounted price. Head below for more details.

Buying budget wireless headphones usually meant living with obvious trade-offs – at least until a few years ago. Even today, plenty of premium models still have their own shortcomings. That being said, there’s no shortage of affordable options out there that are slowly catching up and punch well above their weight class to challenge headphones that cost $300 or more. The Baseus Inspire XH1 I’ve been using over the past few weeks is a great example, delivering effective ANC, surprisingly good sound quality, and excellent battery life. They’ve easily become my favorite budget headphones of the year – and you can read on to find out why.
