Our favorite Prime Day headphone deal

The pick of the Prime Day headphone deals is the Bose QuietComfort 45. Usually priced at $329 but down to $229 right now, the wireless headphones are some of the best noise-canceling headphones around while also offering great sound quality, a comfy build, and pretty much everything else you could want from excellent headphones.

Bose has always been great with implementing active noise cancelation that truly works and that’s certainly the case here. The headphones have six external microphones to monitor what’s going on around you, along with enhanced signal processing so they’re great at blocking out the world when you need them to. Alongside that, its aware mode allows you to bring the world back to your ears as needed, just like the best transparency modes.

The headphones sound great too thanks to an adjustable EQ and TriPort acoustic architecture that vents the ear cups to add depth and fullness. Whether you’re listening to music on your commute or taking a call while walking around your home office, you get reliable sound quality here that makes them a great fixture in your daily setup. You also get to enjoy up to 22 hours of battery life on one charge with a quick 15-minute top-up giving back up to three hours of playback whenever you need it. Charging via USB-C is a real game changer here compared to previous models that stick with micro-USB which was slower. Supremely comfy too, it’s hard to fault the Bose QuietComfort 45, especially while on sale at $100 off so they’re down to $229, reduced from $329.

samsung 4k tv deal 58 inch un58nu7100

Best Buy continues its reign of great TV deals with $20 off the Samsung 65-inch CU7000 4K TV. You might be thinking "$20?" Is that it?" but the TV was already at a great price so right now, you can buy it for $480 instead of $500 which is pretty great for a TV of this size. If you're in the market for a new TV and you don't need anything more complex than regular 4K, this is a great option at an excellent price. Here's a quick look at what it offers before you tap the buy button.

Why you should buy the Samsung 65-inch CU7000 4K TV
As one of the best TV brands, it's always worth considering buying a Samsung TV. With the Samsung 65-inch CU7000 4K TV. you get Samsung's PurColor technology which provides a wider spectrum of colors than a regular 4K TV. There's also the brand's Crystal Processor which can upscale non-4K content while Mega Contrast analyzes and adjusts each image so you see more detail in every frame. Imagery looks more natural too with added depth to create immersion.

Amazon just slashed the price of this 32-inch smart TV to $130
A family plays in a living room with an Amazon Fire TV on the wall.

While we tend to recommend Fire TVs from manufacturers such as TLC, we do sometimes come across a great deal on Amazon's TV, the Fire TV 2-series, and if you're looking for a great budget TV that's a the smaller size, this one's a great option. In fact, you can grab it from Amazon for just $130, rather than the usual $200, making it one of the best budget Amazon TV deals you'll likely find this weekend.

Why you should buy the 32-inch Amazon Fire TV 2-Series
While the Amazon 2-Series only runs at an HD resolution, which is 720p, it does impressively support both HDR10 and HLG, two pieces of tech we rarely see on TVs at this price point. In fact, the latter is what most broadcasters use, so if you're a big sports fan, the HLG will come in pretty handy for an overall better picture quality. It also comes with Dolby Digital Audio for better audio quality, and while we'd generally suggest grabbing one of these soundbar deals, even a budget one, it's a nice thing to have that won't increase the cost of setting up a whole new home theater.

Ends tonight: Save $200 on this Samsung 55-inch QLED 4K TV

If you're looking for the best Samsung TV deals, this deal from Best Buy lets you grab this 55-inch Q70C  for just $800 rather than the usual $1,000. While that may still feel rather expensive, the Q70C is a great mid-to-high-end Samsung TV packed with many great features. That said, the deal is ending tonight, so if you like what you see, grab it before it expires.

Why you should buy the 55-inch Samsung Q70C QLED 4K TV
So, what makes the Q70C special? Well, for starters, it has a QLED panel that recreates colors very vividly without losing brightness, an issue that traditional LED panels tend to have. It's also helped a bit with its Dual-LED backlighting for extra brightness, so you can push the contrast and color reproduction pretty far. It also comes with Samsung's proprietary Quantum HDR, which is offset by the fact that it's missing HLG support, which most sports broadcasters use, so you'll be missing out on that front if you enjoy watching many sports.
