With so much noise going around, tuning in to your playlist can sometimes be your only refuge. A solid pair of headphones could be the best functional accessory you’ll have on the go but you can always up the ante by exploring noise-canceling options. That said, Sennheiser is no less of a reputable brand that stands alongside Bose and Sony in delivering supreme audio quality. If you’re hindered by thoughts of a hefty payment, Amazon cuts through cost and noise with the

, now $70 less. This discount delivers robust sound for $130 instead of $200.

The Sennheiser HD 4.50 SE is one of the most affordable sets of noise-canceling cans you’ll find in today’s bustling market. It sports a laid-back design with an understated matte-black finish and chrome accents surrounding the memory-foam-cushioned earcups and headband. The all-plastic construction makes it cost-efficient and lightweight at only 238 grams while the foldable frame and side-swiveling earcups make storage hassle-free. As for controls, Sennheiser makes it easy to configure music playback, incoming calls, and volume on the right earcup along with a MicroUSB slot for recharging. The left ear cup contains the NFC (near field communication) chip for quick and seamless pairing with compatible smart devices.

Active noise cancellation is certainly one of the prime features Sennheiser’s HD 4.50 is banking on. Needless to say, an unadulterated listening experience, as well as clear crisp calls, are both possible with NoiseGard tech, which virtually eliminates unwanted ambient sound through its dual omnidirectional microphones. This feature is matched with a frequency response of 18 – 22,000Hz that gives way to a deep resounding bass that continues to be well balanced through the mids and highs.

Wireless freedom and ease of movement are backed up with the aptX certified Bluetooth 4.0 technology. Sennheiser may have cut the cord for the HD 4.50 SE but you’ll find its signature sound at home and uncompromised with its proprietary drivers in place. Portability is pushed to its limits with a long battery life that stretches up to 19 hours with active noise cancellation employed and up to 25 hours without. You may also opt for a passive and wired listening session with the inclusion of a 3.5mm audio cable and jack should you happen to run out of juice.

The

is great for anyone looking to snag a pair of noise-canceling wireless headphones that give you real bang for your buck. Its overall quality manifests in its design and build while functionality translates to the bulk of features attached. Amazon simply puts the cherry on top with a 35% price cut that lets you have these headphones for $70 less than usual.

Our favorite smart notebook is $70 off right now
Amazon Kindle Scribe laying on a desk.

Taking notes on the go can be a bit inconvenient on a phone, and carrying around a stack of paper with you in the form of a notebook can get heavy pretty quickly. Luckily, e-ink screens are a great alternative, and if you're already familiar with the Kindle line of products, like the Paperwhite and Oasis, then you'll very much love the Scribe. Not only can it be used as an e-reader, but you can use it to take notes as well, which is a great feature on an already solid device. While it usually goes for $340, you can get the version with the basic pen and 16GB of storage for $270 directly from Amazon, while the premium pen version is going for $295 instead of $370, both of which are excellent deals.

Why you should buy the Amazon Kindle Scribe
One thing that you'll appreciate about the Amazon Kindle Scribe, regardless of whether you want it for e-reading or note-taking, is the larger 10.2-inch screen. That means you can fit a lot more text on there, requiring less taping to go to the next page when reading and a more comfortable note-taking experience. It has 300 pixels per inch, so it's still a sharp and excellent resolution for a bigger screen, and it even has the same backlighting you'd find in other Kindle devices, which you won't find in something like the reMarkable 2.

Samsung’s 120-inch smart 4K projector is $1,500 off right now
Samsung Premiere UST Projector.

It's that time of the year: home theater upgrade season. If you've been itching to get a bigger TV, a better sound system, or reinvent your TV room entirely, Black Friday deals are the time to do it. You may be tempted to wait until November 25, but Walmart Black Friday deals have actually started already. If you want to re-create the cinema experience at home, or you just can't find a TV big enough, you might just need a massive, high-quality projector. Right now Walmart has Samsung's The Premiere 120-inch 4K Smart Laser Projector for just $1,997. That's over $1,500 off its usual price of $3,500.

Why you should buy The Premiere 4K Smart Laser Projector
The most important thing about Samsung's The Premiere projector is its picture quality. Any projector could theoretically make a 120-inch projection on your wall, but The Premiere will project a stunningly crisp 4K image. It's literally laser precise. The Premiere is the first HDR10+ projector, meaning that on top of having the standard HDR10 image quality, it can adjust its brightness and contrast dynamically. Speaking of brightness, The Premiere can project at up to 2,200 lumens, so you'll have a great image even when watching during the day or with some ambient light.
