Listening to music while working out not only relieves you of boredom, it can also put you in a better mood and help enhance your performance. If you don’t want the hassle of wires or the discomfort of over-the-ear headphones getting in the way of your workout, you’re better off with true wireless earbuds like the Bose SoundSport Free wireless earbuds. As an early Labor Day deal, Walmart is slashing its price from $249 to $179. All color variants — midnight blue, orange, and triple black — are discounted.

The SoundSport Free is Bose’s first fully wireless headphones. From aesthetics to performance, it’s specially built to endure even the most demanding workouts. The nozzle of the ear tips is designed to spread contact evenly around the inside of your ear, while the fin naturally conforms to the shape of the upper ridge of your ear. Together, they ensure a comfortable and personalized fit that won’t fall out even during intense routines. With an IPX4 water-resistance rating and water-repellent mesh in the open ports, the earbuds will remain fully functional and dry despite contact with sweat and water splashes. This allows you to listen to your favorite tunes no matter the weather or how tough the training.

Bose focused on the earbuds’ inside tech as well to deliver an amazing listening experience. The circuits were tuned for incredible sound while the antenna position is tweaked for maximum Bluetooth signal strength. The result is clear and consistent music, whether your phone is in your hand, in your pocket, or on top of the treadmill. There’s also volume-optimized EQ and signal processing technologies responsible for full and balanced audio regardless of the volume.

These earbuds are estimated to last for five hours which is more than enough to power you through almost any workout. Keeping them in the case can give two full charges which are equivalent to up to 10 hours of playback time. A quick 15-minute charge will provide 45 minutes of battery life.

With the Bose SoundSport Free Wireless Earbuds, there are no wires to hinder your moves. Order the midnight blue, orange, or triple black model today at Walmart at a discounted price of $179.

Amazon Prime Day drops the price of the Sony A7 II by $555
Today's Best Sony A7 II Prime Day Deal
Sony A7S II

Sure, your smartphone takes nice pictures. But maybe you're looking to add some more art and technique to your photography. Nothing beats a traditional DSLR. If they've always seemed just out of your price range, the Amazon Prime Early Access Sale happening this week is perfect for you. For instance, the Sony A7 II is on sale for only $898 -- a $500 discount on its normally much more hefty $1,398 price tag.

Why you should buy the Sony A7 II Mirrorless Camera
While newer models are available, even with the fantastic Prime Day deals on right now, you'll pay a lot more for a flagship camera. However, the Sony Alpha A7 II has distinguished itself as one of the best Sony cameras in the lineup. It's a solid workhorse that still delivers excellent photos, making it a fantastic choice for the budding pro photographer on a budget, especially with the Sony A7 II Prime Day deal that's on right now.

Walmart Prime Day Deals: October Rollbacks Sale is here
Walmart Prime Day graphic with a screen from Walmart.com.

You might find this shocking, but Walmart has responded to Amazon's surprise sale with its own surprise sale. The 'Rollbacks and More Sale' runs from October 10 to 13 and overlaps with the Prime Early Access Sale by a significant margin. If you aren't familiar with it, it's essentially just a Prime Day 2.0 that Amazon calls an early access sale. In fact, there are already several great sales on everything from air fryers to TVs, with some even being better than their Prime Day alternative. So, let's look at the deals available during what is quickly becoming the best few days of sales this year.
Farberware 1.9-quart Air Fryer -- $25, was $40

If you've been browsing potential Prime Day Fryer deals, this deal from Farberware is an excellent alternative if you need something compact with a few nice features. For example, while it’s on the smaller end with a 1.9-quart space, it can still bake, grill, and even toast things according to your needs, and assuming slightly smaller portions, it can certainly work for two people. It has a wide temperature range between 175 degrees Fahrenheit and 400 degrees Fahrenheit, and the baking tray is non-stick and dishwasher safe, so it's not a whole production every time you want to bake something!

This Labor Day electric bike deal at REI cuts 20% off the price
Two people riding Co-op Cycles-CTY-E22 electric bikes on a gravel road.

If you're searching for an economical, environment-friendly way to commute or get around town, check out this electric bike deal. REI has knocked $540 off the $2,699 list price of the Co-op Cycles CTY e2.2 electric bike -- that's a savings of 20% when you buy it for $2,159 during this sale. The manufacturer is discontinuing this model, but that shouldn't dissuade you from taking advantage of the excellent deal on a sturdy e-bike with REI's Coast to Coast Support. The only downside is supplies are limited and they're not making any more, so don't lose out.

If you read e-bike reviews, you know that the wide range of designs, top speed, and electric-assisted range can vary significantly depending on the electric bike's primary intended use. Co-op Cycle's CTY e2.2 is built on a rugged 6061 aluminum frame suitable for the varied challenges of urban cycling. The CTY has a mid-drive 250-watt Shimano electric motor. Mid-drive motors have the advantage of smooth and relatively quiet operation. A Shimano 36-volt 504-watt-hour battery pumps out 60 Newton meters of torque to accelerate faster and help you mount sidewalks, hills, and upgrades. The CTY e2.2's motor is an upgrade from the previous CTY e2.1 model. The e2.2 also adds fenders and an improved range, up to 50 miles per charge.

The CTY e2.2 is a Class 1 e-bike, which means you can take advantage of electric assistance when you pedal, with the top speed limited to 20 miles per hour. You can ride the bike without the electric boost and just use the assistance when pulling away from a stop or on tough hills if you still want to get a good workout when you ride. You cannot power this bike with a throttle; the electric power is only available when you pedal. Like all the best electric bikes, the CTY e2.2 has hydraulic disc brakes front and rear for strong, smooth stopping power. Its Suntour front fork suspension can alleviate some of the bump if you hit potholes, rocks, or curbs while you ride, but the 1.95-inch tires don't offer the extra cushioning you can get with fatter tires. The bike has a standard rear rack, which makes it easy to attach panniers or baskets for carrying groceries or packages. When you buy the CTY e2.2 from REI online  you you get the significant advantages of free bike assembly, in-store or curbside pickup, and one year of free adjustments. All bikes need periodic adjustments, so it's a big deal that you can get assistance from the experts at REI stores nationwide.
