Cyber Monday may be over, but the last-minute Cyber Monday deals live on … like this offer on the AirPods 2, which sees them down from $159 to $129 at Staples. If you’ve been thinking about downsizing the cables and wires in your life in favor of the Bluetooth wireless lifestyle, now’s the time to pull the trigger. There’s no guarantee that this deal will last through the end of the day.

The 2nd-gen AirPods are the newest iteration of Apple’s standard Bluetooth earbuds. They fully integrate with an iPad, iPhone, or Apple Watch, replacing all the typical menus with a simple “Hey Siri.” They’re a must-have if you’re an Apple addict, or if you just want to be confident that you’re buying a great set of earbuds, then never think about them again. Apple even simplified the charging process. This deal includes a charging case. Just pop your AirPods into the case for 15 minutes and you’ve got another three hours of battery life available — wherever you are. All together that charging case will give you more than 24 hours of listening time, more than enough to get you through the day.

This version of the earbuds gives you some ambient noise-canceling, but not the active canceling you’d get from the AirPods Pro. It’s worth noting that those are on sale today as well, along with a ton of other Cyber Monday Apple deals. The AirPods 2 are still a magnificent earbud (with a slimmer price tag than the Pros). Great sound quality, long battery life, sleek design — they’re a great option for runners, constant phone-callers, and dedicated podcast listeners.

It’s time to take advantage of last-minute Cyber Monday AirPod deals — before the retailers realize how much money they’re giving away. AirPods at $129 is a steal that could only happen this time of year. If you’ve been considering upgrading, it’s time to go for it.

Cyber Monday Milwaukee deals: up to 55% off M18 and M12 tools
Milwaukee M18 Inflator connected to a van tire.

Milwaukee is one of the most interesting of the big cordless power tool companies, simply because it just has great tools. For starters, the Milwaukee line goes above and beyond when it comes to providing quality — you'll see the brand represented among the best Cyber Monday drill deals, for example, and you'll also see them top out-of-the-way charts like our collection of the best portable tire inflators.

Simply put, Milwaukee gets the job done — regardless of the task at hand. At the same time, figuring out which line of their Cyber Monday power tool deals is best for you (the M12 or the M18) can be a bit challenging. While it doesn't sound too complex, one powers less powerful 12V tools while the other handles stronger 18V tools, if you've ever forgotten where your keys are you might also easily forget which Milwaukee line you're building up a battery collection for. So, take a deep breath before assessing these Cyber Monday deals, checking over what each one is, and maybe even hopping out to your garage to double-check what you have.
Our top pick: Milwaukee M18 Tire Inflator (Tool only) — $150 $310 52% off
