The Apple AirPods Pro have consistently ranked as some of the best noise-canceling earbuds on the market. When we tested the latest Pro edition in March 2024, reviewer Simon Cohen said, “There’s simply no better option for anyone with Apple devices.”

Usually, the AirPods Pro are $250, so you’ll be saving $80 if you buy right now.

Why you should buy the AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C

The AirPods Pro 2 boast the ever-iconic white colorway that Apple has yet to part ways with. The buds themselves are IP54 rated for dust and water resistance, making them a decent choice for hitting the gym. The case supports both USB-C and wireless Qi charging, and the built-in speaker makes it easy to locate via chime when the Find My Network is used.

The AirPods Pro 2 deliver fantastic sound quality with plenty of midrange and treble articulation and a satisfying bit of extra oomph in the low end. This is great for multi-genre listening and podcasts. You’ll also be treated to some of the best ANC performance in town, as well as a great Transparency Mode for when you want to chit-chat without removing the AirPods.

On a full charge, the AirPods Pro 2 buds should last up to six hours, and just five minutes in the charging case should give you an extra hour of music. 

Save $80 on the Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C when you purchase today. You should also take a look at our lists of the best AirPods Pro deals, best AirPods Max deals, and best AirPods deals.

Nothing’s next budget earbuds are coming for boring AirPods clones
Nothing Ear (3a) may bring back some personality to budget earbuds
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.

Electronics, Screen, Computer Hardware

Acer’s 1,000Hz gaming monitor has moved from announcement to Amazon listing. The XV273U F5 is priced at $699.99, giving competitive players a real number to weigh before one of the fastest displays headed to North America actually ships.

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.
