After getting a chance to go hands-on with the latest JBL Live Beam 3 recently, we are now diving into some hands-on impressions of the higher-end JBL Tour Pro 3. They certainly come at more of a premium, but we are also talking about one of the most feature-rich wireless earbuds experiences you can buy in the price range. Let’s jump to see if the $300 sticker tag is worth it. 

Apple’s new iPad mini 7 has arrived, we have detailed how to score a deal on your pre-order, and now it’s time to look at some cases and sleeves. While I personally tend to favor a sleeve to keep things protected until I’m ready slide it out and get my hands-on directly on the Apple hardware, some folks need some extra protection or something to prop it up at a good viewing angle and we are here to take a look at some of our favorites. From the brand new Apple magnetic Smart Folio color options to ultra-affordable solutions from $8.50 or so, right through to high-end full-grain leather to lug your mini in style, you’ll find the best iPad mini 7 cases and sleeves down below with more to come shortly. 

We have been covering the Peak Design Everyday canvas cases around here for at least a few years now, but this year it has introduced a whole new model made of a vegan Clarino Leather. How does it stand up against the bevy of vegan leather out there? Did the brand right its wrongs from last year’s Action Button mishap? The short answers are it’s very good and yes, it very much did. Scope out our hands-on impressions below.

SANDMARC is a major player around when it comes to Apple gear accessories, be it its wonderful leather iPhone 16 cases or its gorgeous metal Apple Watch Ultra bands, and its particularly nice iPhone lens attachments, but it also makes some great bags. This week the brand is debuting its new Sling Pack made specially for the new iPad mini 7, your iPhoneography gear, and the rest of your EDC. Best of all, we have an exclusive discount at the ready for you using code 9TO5TOYS at checkout as well. Scope out the details down below. 

As I have said in the past, I’m a big fan of the Elevation Lab AirTag accessories. In my experience, they are easily the best and put most of those cheapie plastic models to shame. That might suggest we are talking bout a bunch of overpriced premium solutions here, but, while they might be a touch more than the bargain bin options out there, they are very much not. We are talking about nearly indestructible AirTag mounts, many of which completely waterproof, in the $9 and $10 range when they are on sale like they are today. So be sure to head below and have at them while we are seeing up to 20% price drops across the lineup. 

As we previously reported, Xbox is set to go live today with a nearly 30-minute showcase of new games, trailers, and updates. While this is not one of its massive showcases, like the one we got over the summer, we have been promised a “no-fluff, all-games broadcast” today loaded with nothing but wall-to-wall games, by the sounds of it. Either way it all starts now and you can follow along with us below the fold. 

Journey is back at it again today with its latest new MagSafe charging station, and a nice pre-order deal to boot. The NOVA 3-in-1 Fast Wireless Charging Station is making its worldwide debut today to offer up the same old 3-in-1 charging action, but in a fresh new form-factor with a nice wood grain option. The official Made for Apple Watch nod of approval lands alongside the Qi2 15W action as well as a 20% launch deal you can secure ahead of its October 28 release date. Scope out the details down below. 

Atom Studios is a relatively new brand on our radar here at 9to5Toys, but after getting a chance to test out its recently-released lineup, we decided it more than deserved some limelight. While you will find some more traditional cases in its iPhone 16 collection, it is its iPhone 16 Agave Leather MagSafe Soft Snap case that really caught our eye. Head below for our exclusive discount code and our hands-on impressions. 

Just ahead of the worldwide debut of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 next week, the Xbox Wire has now unveiled a special edition collection of controllers and the COD Black ops 6 Xbox Series X console wrap. The collection includes a Xbox Wireless Controller as well as an Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 and the Xbox Series X Wrap, each designed to “capture the tension and intrigue of the ’90s spy thriller theme, with visual elements that immerse players deeper into the game’s world.” Get a closer look down below. 

Just after the debut of its next-generation Fire 8 tablet, Amazon has now unleashed the all-new family of Kindle devices. The new lineup includes the first full-color model, a “reimagined” Kindle Scribe, and the fastest Kindle Paperwhite ever. Amazon has tons of gear that is really just a different, more affordable version of tech products we see from other brands, but its Kindle lineup, at least for me, has managed to remain somewhat singular and unique as dedicated readers backed by the extensive lineup of titles Amazon offers for them. And everything is getting a 2024 refresh starting today, let’s dive in below. 

Today JLab is introducing what it calls the ‘lowest priced wireless ANC earbuds’ anywhere with its new GO POP ANC. The new ultra budget-friendly GO POP buds are now available for purchase at a shockingly low $29.99, complete with the workout-ready, noise cancelling design we will take a closer look at below. 

MUJJO, much like year’s past, was among the first leather case makers out of the gate when iPhone 16 was unveiled. I have been a fan of the brand’s leather treatments for at least a couple generations now, and with some new color options landing for iPhone 16, was excited to give them a test for 2024. While the initial run of these case had a Camera Control button that wasn’t up to the task, it has now re-issued with corrections, readied replacements for early adopters, and I am here to see if it all worked out.

Today Twelve South debuting a new special edition of its popular AirFly in-flight audio transmitter. These handy little gadgets are designed to provide an ultra-compact audio solution, effectively connecting to wired-only sources before beaming the audio wirelessly to your AirPods and other Bluetooth headphones. While we are getting the AirFly 2 or some higher-end pro-grade model today, the brand is reissuing its most affordable AirFly SE adapter today with a fresh coat of iridescent paint. Scope it out below. 

It’s been over a few months since Xbox graced us with its “future of gaming” summer showcase, and even longer than that since the last Xbox Partner Preview, but that all changes later this week. Over on the official Xbox Wire, an official announcement for the next Xbox showcase has surfaced some three days before the October Xbox Partner Preview will air around the world. In the latest installment of the ongoing Xbox Partner Preview series, we are set for a “no-fluff, all-games broadcast” come Thursday, October 17, and we will detail what to expect down below. 

Harber London, a brand well-known around here for creating gorgeous leather carriers and bags, unleashed its new All-Rounder MacBook Sleeve a couple months back, and now it’s time to weigh in after giving it a good test run. I have been and continue to be a huge fan of the brand’s bags – its Overnighter was just showcased in a recent 9to5Toys Travel Kit feature – but this time it is trading out some of the full-grain leather for a recycled fabric and we are ready to serve up our hands-on impressions. 

There’s not very many 2024 model 85-inch smart Google TVs from trustworthy brands you can get for less than this Hisense QD7 Series down at $898 shipped via Amazon. Regularly $1,300, this model debuted a few months ago and is now sitting at the lowest price we have tracked on Amazon with $300 in savings. The QD7 is marked down to $899.99 shipped over at Best Buy as well. 

Amazon dropped the new Motorola razr+ 2024 edition to the lowest we have tracked there for Prime Day just before jumping back to full price, but the Prime Big Deals Days offer is back. Over at Amazon you’ll find the 2024 unlocked Motorola razr+ back down at $799.99 shipped in all four colors on offer. Regularly $1,000, this is a straight up $200 cash discount to deliver the lowest price we can find and one on par with the deep deal we spotted last week. 

UGREEN’s MagFlow Qi2 3-in-1 Charger Station for iPhone 16, Apple Watch, and your AirPods has now surfaced on Amazon. After featuring the slightly more compact 2-in-1 model last month, the brand’s latest foldable charging solution now includes a third pop-out charging pad to juice up your Apple wearable as well. Now available for purchase with a $100 MSRP, UGREEN’s official Amazon listing is actually offering a notable launch deal today that knocks it down to $79.99 shipped at checkout. Head below for a closer look and more details. 

Today we are talking a hands-on look at the brand new Bose SoundLink Home Bluetooth Speaker. The combination home and on-the-go speaker immediately caught our eye at launch with the retro chic design, and now it’s time to see if its impressive looks and sound quality are worth the price of entry. Head below for our hands-on impressions of the Bose SoundLink Home Bluetooth Speaker in the latest edition of Tested with 9to5Toys.

For some folks it’s all about the latest and greatest, and for others it’s just about landing a sweet iPad without spending a fortune. There’s no denying how pricey the new M2 iPad Air can be, never mind the M4 iPad Pro, but that’s where the current-gen iPhone 10th Gen comes in – you can score one of these down at $299 shipped, which all things considered is wild for a tablet Apple still sells in its storefronts. However, if you’re just looking for a ultra-affordable, super casual solution, perhaps as a spare, something to take on road trips, or just for the kids, Amazon’s offer on the iPad 9th Gen at $199 shipped is worth consideration. 

This afternoon’s collection of the best Android games and apps now on sale at Google Play are waiting for you down below. On your way down, stop by the deals we are tracking on the Nest Audio Smart Speaker as well as new all-time low pricing on the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra wearable, the brand’s Galaxy Tab S9 FE, and this offer on Razer’s haptics-enabled Kishi V2 Pro Android gamepad. As for the apps, highlight titles include Crying Suns, Rush Rally 3, Little Big Workshop, and more. Head below for a closer look. 

We have featured a ton of interesting and traditional iPhone 16 cases this year already. Some have seriously impressed us, some with Camera Control buttons, and some with onboard physical gaming controls, but the Clicks case is the first one that adds a complete hardware keyboard to your new Apple headset. 

Just after featuring Spigen’s new affordable stainless steel bracelet-style band for Samsung’s Galaxy Watch Ultra at $37, a pair of its even more affordable models have now surfaced starting from $22. The Spigen Lite Fit Nylon Solo Loop has been a go-to among Apple Watch users for years and it is now ready to neatly attach to your 47mm Ultra at an ultra-affordable price tag. Scope it out below along with the new DuraPro Flex model at $25. 

This morning’s lineup of App Store price drops are now ready and waiting down below. Joining a host of hangover Prime Day discounts on Apple gear, including an all-time low on the black titanium Apple Watch Ultra 2, the M2 MacBook Air at $749, and price drops across nearly the entire Apple Pencil lineup, not to mention the best deal yet on the all-new Beats Solo Buds, but it’s time for the app deals. Highlights include titles like Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm, Crying Suns, Rush Rally 3, and more. Head below for a closer look. 

While many of the Prime Big Deal Days offers have come and gone, Woot is has a sweet deal waiting on Kirby and the Forgotten Land alongside a host of other ongoing Switch titles down below. Folks who haven’t scooped up a copy of the Kirby’s latest full-length adventure can grab one today at $39.99 with free shipping for Prime members (a $6 delivery fee will apply otherwise). This is a regularly $60 title that is currently out of stock at Amazon where it rarely goes on sale and almost never down at $40. This is a delightful 3D platforming adventure that delivers on much of the whimsical gameplay mechanics and visuals the Kirby series is known for, just inside of a brand new world with abandoned structures and “remnants of a past civilization.” The Copy action is back with the new Drill and Ranger abilities alongside Mouthful Mode – “inhale real-world objects and transform using Mouthful Mode—swallowing a vending machine will allow you to shoot out cans.” Head below for more. 

Today Twelve South is unleashing its brand new MagSafe charging stand, the HiRise 2 Deluxe. Trading out the 3-in-1 setup available on its wonderful HiRise 3 Deluxe for a more compact and streamlined approach, the new HiRise 2 Deluxe delivers a magnetic charging stand for your iPhone with an additional Qi pad hidden in the base for AirPods or another handset. Now available for purchase starting today from Twelve South, we will detail the new release down below alongside some early hands-on impressions. 

Update: This Prime Day all-time low is still live folks!

Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days event is now ushering in all-time low pricing on the new black titanium Apple Watch Ultra 2. The black titanium Apple Watch Ultra 2 configuration has now dropped to $729.99 shipped with your choice of the Black Trail Loop or the new Dark Green Alpine Loop. The new black titanium Ultra 2 was unveiled and released last month with the same MSRP as the natural titanium model at $799, but has now dropped to its best price ever for the fall Prime Day event at Amazon. 

Amazon is stepping in today with a particularly notable deal on Apple’s M2 MacBook Air starting at $749 shipped. This one first landed on Amazon at $1,099 but these days carries a regular price at $999 to deliver at least $150 in savings. While we did see it bounce down to $799 a number of times this past summer leading into the back to school deals, it is now at one of the lowest prices we have ever tracked in new condition. You’ll also find this deal available at Best Buy today. 

The Arc Pulse has been one of the most popular options this year among 9to5 readers, bumper style or otherwise. It would seem more and more folks are looking to leave the Apple design and their color of choice on display while still trying to maintain some semblance of drop protection at the same time, and the Arc Pulse very much does that. But let’s dive in with some hands-on impressions to see how everything shakes out in practice.

Alongside some of the even more affordable models, below, one standout here is the brand’s Petcube Play 2 Wi-Fi Pet Camera with the onboard laser toy at $63.99 shipped. While this one tends to fetch $80 these days, it would have costed you $199 through most of last year. You’re looking at up to $136 below that and at 20% under the more recent going rate. 

Update 2/21: As promised, the charming new Nintendo Alarmo sound clock is now available for purchase at Best Buy for everyone. 

Update: Previously only available to Switch Online members via the My Nintendo Store, Nintendo has now announced that Alarmo “will be available in stores at participating retailers in March 2025, no Nintendo Switch Online membership required. Available while supplies last.”

While Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days event is now well into its final 24 hours, we just had to take a quick break to talk about the brand new Nintendo Sound Clock: Alarmo – “an interactive alarm clock designed to add some Nintendo charm to your home and your daily routine.” It’s not everyday we see new hardware from Nintendo, and certainly not a new smart alarm clock of sorts loaded with Mushroom Kingdom charm and motion sensor technology. Scope it out below. 

Update: Joining the now live fall Prime Day deal on the current-gen, and more affordable Nothing Ear (a) wireless at $77, Amazon is now offering its best price yet on the flagship Nothing Ear Wireless Earbuds at $118 – that’s $1 below the previous best. Details in original post below. 

Amazon is now bringing back its all-time low price on the semi-transparent Nothing Ear Wireless Earbuds at $119 shipped as part of a limited-time Lightning deal. This means you’ll have a limited time to claim the low price before the discounted stock runs dry. While listed with a regular price tag at $159 on Amazon, they actually carry at $149 MSRP and have now returned to lowest price we have tracked since release in April 2024. The discounted stock is already 43% claimed (at the time of writing), so jump in as soon as possible if you’re interested.

Regularly $499, you can now secure one at $379.05 shipped in all four colorways.

Deals on UAG’s iPhone cases, as well as its Apple Watch bands are rare at best, but this is Prime Big Deal Days after all, and frankly just about no one is safe from the discounts. This year, UAG is offering a selection of its new iPhones 16 case at up to 37% off as well as its Apple Watch bands at up to 50% off, and that includes options for just about any Cupertino wearable you might have. I have already weighed in with a hands-on review on what I love about the brand’s military-inspired iPhone cases just recently, and the same applies for its Apple Watch straps (especially the Active Watch Straps – I’m a big fan of these)…now’s your chance to save some cash on them, and a rare one at that. You’ll find a list of the models actually seeing price drops down below.

Regularly $429, we rarely ever see this set with a straight up $100 price drop. They dropped to $349 in the early Prime Day deals this past July, but now we are tracking an additional $20 off and match for the lowest price we have ever tracked on Amazon. The discount is only live on the black set as of right now, but you are looking at one of the best sets of over-ears out there at $70 under the price of heavily discounted previous-generation AirPods Max.

As part of its early Prime Big Deal Days event, Amazon is now offering the Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro down at $299.95 shipped. This higher-end countertop cooker carries a $400 list price and is now seeing solid $100 drop ahead of the fall Prime Day event. Having only seen a couple notable discounts all year at Amazon, this rarely discounted kitchen upgrade is now matching the lowest price we have seen there across 2024, landing on par the price we saw during the July Prime Day sale.
