Hurry! Apple AirPods Pro still on sale for only $220

By Jennifer Allen June 16, 2020

Verizon is still offering the AirPods Pro for only $220 — down $30 from the usual $250. We really can’t see this offer lasting long as this is one of the cheapest prices we’ve seen so far this year, and they’re truly fantastic wireless earphones.

On the one hand, the AirPods Pro would be an ideal Father’s Day gift with the special day creeping up fast. The AirPods Pro would also be a great gift to yourself if you’ve been looking for a new pair of true wireless earbuds for a while. After all, it’s pretty rare to see them discounted at all, let alone with a $30 price cut. There’s no word on when this offer ends so we’re expecting it to be pretty soon.

The AirPods Pro are the best earphones that Apple has developed so far, and we were big fans when we covered them recently. Super comfy to wear and subtle so they don’t stand out too much, they offer great sound quality no matter what you’re listening to. With active noise cancellation, you don’t have to worry about the annoying noises that you might hear on your daily commute or during a regular walk. Its transparency mode helps you out for when you do need to be a bit more aware, ensuring you can hear what’s happening around you as and when needed.

For sound quality, there’s an Adaptive EQ that automatically tunes music to the shape of your ears so you get the most consistent listening experience possible. Expect great bass and some sharp beats, too.

With all that power, you’re expecting poor battery life right? No worries. The Apple AirPods Pro offers up to 4 and a half hours of listening time on one charge with the charging case meaning you get about 24 hours of solid listening time before you need to find a charger. Impressively, only 5 minutes of charging gives you an hour of listening time which is sure to be useful.

Throw in Siri support and the ability to control music, calls, volume, and more with your voice, and what more could you want?

Whether you’re looking to treat dad or yourself, you should get in on the Verizon deal fast. $220 is a great price and we can’t see it lasting much longer.

There’s a big sale on M1 and M2 MacBooks happening right now

The MacBook Pro open on a wooden table.

Amazon launched a sale that has slashed the prices of various MacBook models powered by Apple's M1 and M2 chips, which have elevated the performance of the laptops to even greater heights. If you've been waiting for an opportunity to buy a new MacBook, you won't want to miss these offers. We've gathered some of the best MacBook deals that you can shop right now from Amazon, but you have to hurry if you want to take advantage of any of them because they may be gone as soon as tomorrow.
13-inch MacBook Air (M1, 256GB) -- $800, was $999

The Apple MacBook Air M2 is already available, but the Apple MacBook Air M1 remains a worthwhile purchase as an entry-level MacBook with a 256GB SSD for storage. It still promises smooth performance from the M1 chip with an eight-core CPU and 8GB of RAM, and you'll enjoy vivid colors and sharp details on the MacBook Air's 13.3-inch Retina display. The machine packs a battery that can run up to 18 hours on a single charge, and because of the thermal efficiency created by the M1 chip, it doesn't need fans for cooling, which means it doesn't make any noise even when dealing with demanding tasks.

Samsung’s ultra-loud party speaker just got a $200 price cut

samsung mx st90b sound tower deal march 2023 lifestyle

Whether you're watching movies or listening to music, you deserve a high quality speaker -- especially if you're having people over. The speakers set the tone of the party, and a tiny Bluetooth speaker just isn't going to cut it. Samsung is one of the highest quality audio equipment manufacturers in the world, and they have a great speaker for parties: the MX-ST90B Sound Tower. It's great for both indoor and outdoor events. It isn't exactly cheap, but right now it has a nice discount. It's $200 off, bringing the total to $1,000. Here's why you should consider dropping that kind of cash on your sound system.

Why you should buy the Samsung MX-ST90B Sound Tower
What sets the MX-ST90B Sound Tower is the massive 1,700 watts of power it can put through its speakers, meaning you can fill a significantly large room with sound if you'd like. It has six speakers inside, two of each bass, mids, and tweeters, so you have a full range of frequencies to work with, especially if you love bass since it has some excellent bass boosting. We certainly appreciate the app that connects to the speaker, which gives you a lot of control over the EQ, something we don't often find in speakers that come with preset EQs. Speaking of which, if you'd rather not fuss around with EQ settings, there are a few sound modes that you can pick from Party, Standard(MONO), Hip-Hop, EDM, Rock, Latin, House, and Regeea.
