We gave these AirPods a 9 out of 10, and they’re on sale at Target

Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C and MagSafe review
Zeke Jones / Digital Trends

Wireless earbuds are everywhere these days, but when it comes to the best of the best of these in-ear companions, it’s tough to beat the Apple AirPods. With numerous models on the market, Apple’s foray into wire-free earbuds has been met with critical praise the world over, and we loved the latest version of the AirPods Pro we sampled a couple of years ago. And guess what? That very model is on sale this week!

When you purchase the Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C at Target, you’ll only spend $190. At full price, this model goes for $250. For those unaware, there are now two versions of Apple’s second-gen AirPods Pro floating around: one with a USB-C MagSafe case and an earlier model that uses the Lightning port instead.

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

Not only does the latest version of the AirPods Pro come with USB-C recharging, but the MagSafe case is also outfitted with Apple’s U1 chip. This means you’ll be able to track the case with Apple’s Find My app, should you ever lose it. The case even contains a small speaker that emits a chime (if you so choose to trigger it). We’re big fans of that little lanyard loop, too! But besides these few case modifications, what else is there to look forward to with the AirPods Pro 2? Some of the most immersive and detail-rich sound quality you’ll hear from a set of earbuds!

This revamped version of the AirPods Pro 2 brings enhanced active noise-canceling and phenomenal audio, thanks to Apple’s H2 chipset. Expect brilliant sound staging with stellar treble and mid-range performance, with deep, propulsive bass rounding out the low end of most mixes. You’ll also be able to enjoy features like Apple’s Spatial Audio, which alters how your tunes sound in real-time based on the position of your noggin.

On a full charge, the AirPods Pro 2 should last for up to six hours, with an extra 24 hours of listening time provided by a fully-charged MagSafe case. Other noteworthy features include Apple’s Ear Tip Fit Test (requires an iPhone), Transparency and Conversation Awareness modes, and seamless switching between paired Apple devices using the same Apple ID (think of this as Apple’s souped-up version of Bluetooth multipoint).

It’s hard to say how long this Target promo is going to stick around, so it’s a good idea to buy soon if you’re digging this discount! Save $60 when you purchase the Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C through Target, and be sure to check out some of the other AirPods Pro deals we found this week. We also have a list of more general AirPods deals.

We gave this OLED TV a 9 out of 10, and it’s on sale today
LG G4 OLED

If you’re all about premium TVs, you’ve probably heard a thing or two about the LG G4 Series OLED. Released in 2024, we had the opportunity to give LG’s latest flagship set a full hands-on review, and let’s just say we were totally blown away by what this bad boy can do. That being said, this model can get pretty pricey, which is why we always have our eyes peeled for a solid markdown or two. And guess what? We found one!

Right now, you can purchase the LG 55-inch G4 Series at Target for $2,300. At full price, this model and size costs $2,600. And if you'd rather save more on one of last year's models, there are still some excellent LG C3 deals to take advantage of!

This AirPods Max Labor Day deal is the cheapest they’ve been since Prime Day
Woman wearing Apple Airpods Max.

The Apple AirPods Max are down to only $399 from Amazon as part of the retailer's Labor Day deals, which is the cheapest that they've been since Prime Day in July when they were down to $394. You wouldn't want to miss this $150 discount on their original price of $549, so we highly recommend completing your purchase as soon as you can. It's not a good idea to wait until the last minute of the holiday, as stocks of the popular wireless headphones that are up for sale may be gone by then.

Why you should buy the Apple AirPods Max
It's no secret that the Apple AirPods Max are expensive (though Amazon's discount for Labor Day helps bring it within reach for more people), but they're worth it as "the most fun headphones ever" with excellent quality in terms of their build and sound. Their active noise cancellation is amazing in blocking external sound, while transparency mode will let you hear what's going on around you without having to take them off. They support personalized spatial audio for an immersive listening experience, and they can last up to 20 hours on a single charge with this feature and ANC and both enabled.
