The best Peloton bike alternative is still $600 off for Cyber Week

This story is part of Digital Trends' Cyber Monday coverage 2024

Echelon Fitness has earned accolades for its connected bikes that let you live stream workouts in the comfort of your home. The company’s Smart Connect Bikes are considered to be one of the best all-around alternatives to Peloton, which kicked off this live streaming craze a few years back. If you’ve been itching to try out this immersive home gym experience rather than one of the best treadmills, now is the time as Echelon just slashed 25% off its entire Smart Connect Bike lineup. This is one of many fitness deals we’ve found for Cyber Week.

If you’re looking for a less expensive way to become more active, we’ve also found Apple Watch deals and Samsung Galaxy activity trackers. These devices are also able to pair with some of these smart bikes to give you more accurate calorie and heart-rate tracking.

Echelon Connect EX-1 Bike ($600 off)


The Echelon Connect EX-1 is the entry-level smart cycle with ergonomic handlebars and a 180-degree adjustable console that holds your tablet. Similar to the higher-end Echelon bikes, the EX-1 includes Bluetooth connectivity, 32 levels of resistance, support for SPD shoes, and integration with Echelon’s FitPass pre- and post-workout routines.

Echelon Connect EX-3 Bike ($750 off)


The Echelon Connect EX-3 is more comfortable than the EX-1 thanks to a competition-style seat that adjusts for comfort. It also has an improved adjust knob with notches that let you easily dial in one of the 32 levels of magnetic resistance.

Echelon Connect EX-5 and Connect EX-5s Bike


At the top of the Echelon’s product lineup are the EX-5 and the Ex-5s. These two models are for the serious cyclist who wants competition-level hardware so they can continue to train at an elite level. Both bikes feature an adjustable competition-style seat and an Aero handlebar that moves fore and aft so you can switch from an all-out performance session to a comfortable ride on the cycle. Other perks include an integrate weight rack that can hold two-pound dumbbells and a built-in 21.5-inch HD display on the EX-5s model.

If you don’t like cycling, Echelon also reduced the prices on its Echelon Reflect 40-inch and Echelon Reflect 50-inch Touchscreen mirrors. These fitness-focused smart mirrors let you see yourself and the trainer at the same time in the mirror. This allows you to perfect on your form as you work on strength training, yoga, pilates, and more.

All Echelon’s bikes and mirrors require a companion training plan. You can purchase a monthly plan for $40 per month or save by choosing a yearly or two-year plan.

At $120 off, the most comfortable noise-canceling headphones are now at a comfortable price
Sonos Ace with a Sonos Arc.

One of the best things about wearing noise-canceling headphones is the great deal of comfort they bring when in loud, chaotic environments. However, they need to really fit around your head to get that seal, which can lead to some comfort issues. If you're the type that wants to float away into your music or studies, then the Sonos Ace are your absolute best bet, and they are the headphones we consider to be the overall best noise-canceling headphones for comfort. Unfortunately, they're usually $449, the same price as the brand new Sony WH-1000XM6. Now, however, in a deal you can find at any major retailer, they're discounted by $120, making them just $329. Tap the appropriate button below to make your purchase or keep reading to see just how comfortable the Sonos Ace are, and learn about the special link they have with the best soundbar Sonos makes.

Our favorite budget ANC headphones just got even more affordable
Side view of the 1More SonoFlow.

Whether you're wanting to start studying a language, determine if now is the right time to start that business, or just want to finish the chapter in whatever book your eReader is holding, silence is power. ANC, or Active Noise Cancelation, can help you get it. Even without music pumping into your ears the headphones pick up the surrounding sounds in your area and feed you the opposite waves, canceling out the noise.

But the best noise-canceling headphones are typically quite expensive, with premium pairs easily costing $250 or more. If you need some bonus focus but don't have that kind of money lying around for headphones, you'll need to browse through budget headphones instead. Unfortunately, the Venn diagram that cross budget and quality ANC is incredibly narrow, leaving you few choices. One of choices, and our favorite among budget picks, is even more of a clear pick today — it's on sale. Tap the button below to see the 1More SonoFlow at a price of just $60, which is $15 down from their usual $75, or keep reading to see why we think they're the budget ANC headphones for you.
