A more budget-friendly option is the Corsair HS60. This headset sports the company’s signature build quality and metal construction, ensuring long-term durability. It has plush memory foam earcups that promise exceptional comfort for hours of nonstop gameplay. It’s also compatible with several gaming platforms, including PC, Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch, and mobile devices.

The 5 best laptop deals in Best Buy’s rival October Prime Day sale
The Framework Laptop Chromebook Edition will be available between late November and early December for $1,000.

Amazon brought back Prime Day deals for another round this year with its Amazon Prime Early Access Sale, also known as the October Prime Day, so retailers like Best Buy have launched their own discounts in response. The Best Buy Prime Day sale includes significant price cuts on a wide range of laptops, and since there are just too many to choose from, we've gathered the five best laptop deals right here to help you narrow down your options.
Lenovo Flex 3 Chromebook -- $139, was $189

For shoppers on a tight budget, you should check out Prime Day Chromebook deals like Best Buy's special price for the Lenovo Flex 3 Chromebook. Compared to traditional Windows-based laptops, Chromebooks are usually cheaper because they use low-end components, but without sacrificing performance because Google's Chrome OS depends on web-based apps instead of installed software. The Lenovo Flex 3 Chromebook features the Intel Celeron N4020 processor, 4GB of RAM, integrated Intel UHD Graphics 600, and an 11.6-inch HD touchscreen. It's also a 2-in-1 laptop, capable of switching forms through its 360-degree hinge.

We gave these earbuds a 9/10, but at their Prime Day price, they’re an 11/10
Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro.

What I love about Prime Day is that, if you look closely, you can find huge discounts on products that are already so good, they don't need any discount at all. A perfect example is Soundcore's Liberty 3 Pro wireless earbuds. When they debuted at $170, I thought they were so good, I gave them a 9/10 rating in my review, and issued them Digital Trends' Editor's Choice award. But these ratings and awards are always a balancing act between price and performance, so now that these buds are 47% off for Prime Day, and selling for just $90? I'm going to 11.

My enthusiasm for this deal really is all about price. When you review as many wireless earbuds as I do, you quickly get a sense of what you can expect from different models at different prices, and your senses start to tingle when a product exceeds those expectations. If you read my in-depth review of the Liberty 3 Pro, you'll see they had already managed to do that at $170. With an absolutely killer feature set that includes wireless charging, active noise cancellation (ANC), transparency, EQ and control customization, hi-res audio support, Bluetooth Multipoint, and wear sensors for music auto-pause, they provide more sheer technical prowess than some earbuds that cost twice as much.
