Right now, you can buy the Sony WF-1000XM3 true wireless noise-canceling in-ear headphones for $50 off the usual price, or the Apple AirPods Pro for $30 off the usual price.

Sony WF-1000XM3 — $180, was $230

On a full charge, you can enjoy 6 hours of power with the charging case offering a further three charges before you need to find a power source.

Apple AirPods Pro — $250, was $220

While the Woot! deal that meant you could grab Apple AirPods Pro for only $210 has ended, you can still get them at Verizon for $220. With a $30 savings, it’s one of the best AirPods deals out there at the moment.

Apple AirPods Pro are Apple’s best headphones yet. They offer active noise cancellation along with adaptive EQ so that the music is automatically tuned to the shape of your ears for a superior listening experience. Active noise cancellation means you can enjoy the experience whether you’re at home or on your daily commute, canceling out all unwanted noises as you enjoy.

Battery life is a little lower than some wireless earphones with 4.5 hours of listening possible but the charging case bumps that up to 24 hours overall until you need to find a power source. Siri support means you can easily control what you’re listening to without having to touch a thing.

Nothing Ear (a) deal

Budget wireless earbuds are the most popular kind of wearable tech in the market. But just like smartphones, a lot of these hearables basically look quite similar to one another. Nothing has actively worked on avoiding that trap, and its next affordable earbuds are expected to keep the track going.

The company has just confirmed that Nothing Ear (3a) will launch on July 7 at 11:00 BST, sharing the stage with the upcoming Nothing Phone (4b). The teaser does not reveal the full spec sheet yet, but it does show the earbuds in four colors: White, Black, Yellow, and Pink. Nothing’s audio lineup has always leaned on transparent styling and playful color choices to stand out in a sea of AirPods clones.

Sony’s WH-1000XM6 headphones just became more tempting for gamers who hate gaming headsets
The new update adds Bluetooth LE Audio's Gaming Audio Profile, giving Sony's premium noise-canceling cans a lower-latency trick for compatible gaming devices.
Sony WH-1000XM6.

Sony's WH-1000XM6 gaming mode is rolling out through firmware version 3.1.5, adding support for Bluetooth LE Audio's Gaming Audio Profile, or GMAP. The same update also includes general performance improvements, so WH-1000XM6 owners have a real reason to open the Sony Sound Connect app.

It's a handy upgrade for headphones built more for commutes or office silence than late-night matches. Bluetooth lag can make games feel faintly wrong, especially when a footstep or button press lands a fraction too late.

Availability is still the problem. Amazon lists the monitor as temporarily out of stock, and Acer has previously pointed to a Q4 North America launch window instead of a firm release date.
