The premium Master & Dynamic MH40 headphones are on sale for $200

There’s no question that high-end head-fi is expensive, but if you’re a dedicated audiophile (or just someone who wears headphones a lot throughout the day), then you know it’s worth it to invest in a solid pair of premium cans. Think about it: You likely spend more time wearing headphones than you do driving your car every day, so why not treat your ears to something that sounds great and will last for years or even decades?

The Master & Dynamic MH40 are one such pair of high-end over-ear headphones, and they’re on sale right now, letting you score a set from Amazon for $200 – half of their original retail price. Master & Dynamic MH40 headphonesThe MH40’s quality is apparent at first glance, with the sleek leather and metal design showing off the superior materials and old-school aesthetic that sets these apart from the ocean of black headphones on the market today.

The frame and headband of the Master & Dynamic MH40 headphones are made of steel and aluminum – no creaky, crack-prone plastic to be found here – culminating in a durable, attractive, and lightweight build. The plush memory foam earcups and headband are also enclosed in genuine cowhide and lambskin leather for a premium look and feel. The headphones are comfortable on the ears and built to last for decades.

For sound, the Master & Dynamic MH40 headphones pack two beefy 45mm neodymium magnet drivers, and connect to your devices via a woven 3.5mm cable. This detachable cable features an in-line remote and omni-directional microphone for taking calls, while the ear cups have a handy mute button that lets you instantly silence media playback when you need to without having to use your device.

The score a set from Amazon carry a steep retail price tag of $400, which is understandably more than most of us are willing to pay. Now, however, the price has dropped to a much more reasonable $200 (50 percent off MSRP and around $50-100 off of their “street” price), which is a solid deal on a pair of high-end headphones in this class.

Walmart’s Prime rival sale drops this Vizio 40-inch TV under $200
vizio launch d series 4k ultra hd tv 750 0013

As the title suggests, there's a Walmart Rollback Sale on various products -- including TVs like this 40-inch Vizio -- as a direct response to Amazon's second Prime Day, aka the Prime Early Access Sale, which has the same sort of exclusive deals and discounts for Prime Members as Prime Day did. But, ultimately, that means you get to pick up a relatively cheap TV, even without a Prime subscription, since Walmart is selling it at $198 from $227.

Why you should buy the VIZIO 40-inch Class D-Series
The VIZIO D-Series is an interesting lineup of TVs, since it doesn't come in 4k but has all the other great features you would typically expect from a high-end TV. For example, you get full-array LED backlighting that gives smaller brightness control zones and significantly better contrast than your average TV. Similarly, it comes with an internal processor, the IQ Picture Processor, which helps make the overall interface and experience quicker so you aren't constantly waiting for an app to load or deal with menu lag -- all of which are excellent quality-of-life additions for a sub-$200 TV.
