Whether you’re an aspiring DJ, a serious audiophile, or just love to tinker with music, studio-quality sound is important. Unfortunately, great sound almost always comes at a high price. With so many expensive options out there, it can be hard to find the quality you’re looking for the price you seek.

The Status Audio CB-1 headphones give you that crystal-clear sound with a price tag that won’t make you cringe. Though our review team was initially hesitant after seeing how inexpensive the CB-1s are, they were blown away by the sound quality after putting them on. With a wide and deep soundstage and good stereo imaging, these headphones deliver a well-balanced listening experience. Unlike many popular headphones that focus on exaggerated bass, this set from Status Audio keeps everything neutral to avoid fatigue during extended listening sessions.

Made from lightweight materials, the CB-1s are sturdy and flexible, so you don’t need to worry about them falling apart on you. A comfort-focused design gives you thickly padded earcups that embrace each ear like a nice cozy hug. Despite having those large cushy pads, these headphones easily fold up, making them perfect for storage or travel.

The CB-1s are usually priced at a very reasonable $79, but for today only, you can pick up a pair for just Status Audio CB-1 headphones. The Status Audio CB-1 headphones give you all the crystal-clear sound you’re looking for at half the price of other comparable models. These aren’t the very best studio-quality headphones on the market, but they are great for budding engineers, musicians, and anyone who can appreciate great sound. Take advantage of this Amazon Deal of the Day before it’s gone.

LG just knocked $300 off this 16-inch lightweight laptop

lg ultrapc 17 review front angled

For those people who are constantly on the go, grabbing a thin and light laptop makes life a lot easier, especially since they tend to weigh a lot less while also having very capable performance. Unfortunately, that does come at a bit of an extra cost, so we're happy to see this deal from LG on the UltraPC laptop that knocks it down to just $700 from its usual price of $1,000. That's an excellent price for a laptop that can outperform competitors at the same price range, even with the discounted price.

Why you should buy the LG UltraPC laptop
This new version of the Ultra PC is a big upgrade on the previous LG UltraPC laptop and follows the same lineup of LG's very thin laptops like the LG Gram 17, so LG has quite a lot of experience in this market. That's pretty obvious by the fact that the UltraPC has a tiny 0.64-inch thickness, making it thinner than many books. It doesn't lose out on other features, though, and it still comes with a pretty substantial 16-inch screen that runs a modified FHD resolution of 1920 x 1200, which may be a bit low for such a nice laptop, but it's not a dealbreaker if it helps keep the price down. The keyboard is also great to use, and while the previous version of the UltraPC had a comically small touchpad, this new one is a lot more substantial and useful.

Windows 11 Home usually costs $139 — but it’s only $30 today

If you've recently bought yourself a new desktop or laptop, you're most likely using Windows 11 Home edition, which is still pretty good, but it does lock some features away that you can only get with the Pro edition. While they aren't completely necessary, they are nice to have, but the usual $200 cost of a Windows 11 Pro license means they aren't worth the cost. Luckily, there's a great deal from StackSocial that discounts Windows 11 Pro down to just $30, which constitutes a whopping 84% discount on the regular price. You better grab it quite too, because the sale is going to be ending soon.

Why you should buy Microsoft Windows 11 Pro
Most of the features that you'll find on Windows 11 Pro are targeted to, you guessed it, professionals, but that doesn't mean that you can't also take advantage of it. For example, while both versions of Windows 11 are pretty secure, Windows 11 Pro has extra security features. For example, the Pro version comes with Defender Application Guard, which is an additional level of security that protects your files even if your computer is stolen, and the BitLocker can directly lock your files so nobody can read them even if they can access them.
