Anker Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro — Simon Cohen / Digital Trends

If you’ve been looking at our AirPods deals and thought to yourself, “I can do better.” you might actually be right. From the moment we first previewed the Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro headphones, we knew they would give AirPods a solid run for their money. With today’s deal, sending them down to just $60, you should really give them a chance. That’s $40 off the typical $100 price, running now through the end of Halloween.

Why you should buy the Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro

Our Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro review recognized that these earbuds would be hard to beat at their (not even on sale) price. Why? Because the earbuds — dubbed “affordably awesome” — had considerably above-par sound quality and active noise canceling (ANC) than their peers. Additionally, though it is a bit subjective, we found them to be very comfortable. As a result of the wide selection of ear tip sizes included, we’re willing to bet on you having a similar experience.

The Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro are able to tease out subtle differences in the bass range, not just roar and rumble, as well as play balanced mids and delicate treble notes. Plus, the Soundcore app has highly customizable EQ settings and, via HearID, can adjust output based on your own ability to hear. When combined with the Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro’s four ANC modes (transport, indoor, outdoor, and custom) just about anybody can experience an above-par listening experience. On the flip side, you’ll also be heard well during calls thanks to the Soundcore Liberty Air 2 Pro’s 6 noise-canceling microphones.

Lastly, take a quick look at the battery. The buds themselves can hold around 6 or 7 hours of charge and over 20 when combined with the case. If you’re the type who can get too busy to charge your devices, don’t be deterred as you can get 3 hours of playtime out of a quick 15-minute charge.

Whether you are looking for headphone deals or the best earbuds around, consider Anker’s Liberty Air 2 Pro for your next purchase. And what better time than now, when they are $60 instead of the usual $100? You have until the USA’s West Coast says ‘Hello’ to November to complete your purchase and take advantage of the $40 markdown. So, what are you waiting for?

If you're an Apple fanatic on a budget, refurbished AirPods are a great way to save money. Yes, they're technically used, but we're not talking about thrift store headphone deals here. These AirPods have all been professionally refurbished and tested to make sure they work just like they would straight out of the box. All of the AirPods deals below are from a site called Back Market, which has 30-day free returns on all of their AirPods offers. Plus, if your refurbished AirPods end up having any mechanical faults that affect their ability to function, you have a one-year warranty you can invoke. Every model of AirPod still being developed currently has a refurbished model on sale. Check them out below.
Apple AirPods 2 -- $89, were $130

The good old AirPods 2 won't let you down. They are the cheapest AirPods still being manufactured, and buying them refurbished brings the price well below $100. They don't have noise cancelling or some of the other models, but they still pair well with your iPhone, iPad or MacBook and have good sound. A pair in fair condition with a charging cable is pretty cheap. If the superficial scratches turn out to be too much for you, you can return them within 30 days. If the damage turns out to be technical rather than cosmetic, they have a one-year warranty so you can send them back or get a replacement for free.

Turn up the volume with the SVS Prime Wireless Pro speakers

There are many factors to consider when building a good home sound system, whether it's for a simple stereo setup for listening to music or part of a larger home theater for enjoying multiple types of media. The quality of your system's audio begins with the input source and ends with the speakers (with several steps in between), so whatever you're listening to will only sound as good as your speakers. Home theater technology has come a long way over the last decade, and the SVS Prime Wireless Pro are a great pair of speakers that let you ditch the cables for a clean, streamlined audio setup -- without compromising on sound quality.

Wireless speakers are becoming an increasingly popular option for home sound systems and it's not hard to see why. One of the biggest challenges for setting up a home stereo or theater setup is cable management and having less wires to deal with simplifies things considerably. But there's often a price to pay for that wireless convenience, and that's found in the fact that many wireless speakers compromise on sound quality, a tradeoff owed to an over-focus on ease of setup and user experience that leads to an under-emphasis on audio output. The flipside of that coin is that others deliver great sound fidelity while failing to fully take advantage of the latest wireless technologies.
