Apple & Core Tech
Apple AirPods 4 with Active Noise Cancellation — $99 (43% off, all-time low):
Weekend listeners who want premium features without the pro price will find these redesigned earbuds hit the sweet spot. The open design delivers ANC that’s “a great effort” despite lacking silicone tips according to SoundGuys, while the new H2 chip powers transparency mode, adaptive audio, and conversation awareness previously exclusive to the Pro line. The 4 hours of listening time with ANC enabled extends to 20 hours total with the charging case and the smallest-ever MagSafe case includes wireless charging and Find My speaker integration.
Six Colors noted the ANC “tamped down” airplane engine hum effectively, though pro users seeking maximum isolation should know the AirPods Pro 2 deliver roughly twice the noise cancellation performance. Perfect for iOS users who find in-ear tips uncomfortable but still want meaningful noise reduction during commutes or work sessions. The deal requires Prime membership, and this matches the lowest price we’ve tracked since launch.
MacBook Pro 14-inch with M5 Chip — $1,349 (16% off, lowest in 30 days):
For creators jumping from Intel Macs, this refresh brings meaningful performance gains through Apple’s latest silicon architecture. The M5 chip delivers up to 3.5x faster AI performance than M4 and features a 10-core GPU with Neural Accelerators in each core, accelerating everything from text-to-image generation to local LLM processing in webAI. The 1TB SSD achieved 1,917 MBps in file transfers, nearly doubling the M4’s speeds, while the 10-core CPU posts Geekbench 6 scores of 4,288 single-core and 17,926 multi-core.
Battery life reaches 24 hours for video playback, and the Liquid Retina XDR display maintains 1,600 nits peak brightness with ProMotion support. Tom’s Hardware praised the “healthy boost in CPU performance” and “significant uplift in SSD performance” compared to the M4 model. Students and professionals upgrading from older MacBooks gain Thunderbolt 4 ports, 12MP Center Stage camera, and six-speaker audio. Configuration tested includes 16GB unified memory and 1TB storage at this sale price.
Audio
DJI Mic Mini Wireless Lavalier System — $59 (65% off, matches all-time low):
Content creators tired of bulky transmitters will appreciate these featherweight mics that practically disappear on camera. At just 10 grams, the transmitters are half the weight of the Mic 2 and small enough to avoid distraction when clipped to clothing, while maintaining professional 24-bit/48kHz audio quality across a 400-meter transmission range. The 11.5-hour battery life extends to 48 hours with the charging case, and a five-minute charge provides an hour of recording.
The Moment review called it “fantastically nimble” with “pro-level crispness” at nearly half the price of competitors Moment. Two-level noise cancellation adapts between quiet indoor settings and noisy outdoor environments, while automatic limiting prevents clipping from sudden loud sounds. DJI cameras like the Osmo Action 5 Pro and Pocket 3 connect directly via OsmoAudio without needing the receiver. Kit includes two transmitters, one receiver, charging case, windscreens, and adapters for cameras and smartphones. Perfect for YouTubers, TikTokers, and interview shooters who prioritize portability.
TrueFree HF10 Bluetooth 6.0 Active Noise Cancelling Headphones — $25.19 (68% off after coupon, 2nd-lowest in 30 days):
Budget-conscious listeners seeking marathon battery life will find these over-ears deliver surprising value. The hybrid ANC system uses four microphones to reduce external noise by up to 45dB, with adaptive modes for indoor, outdoor, and commute environments that adjust automatically via AI chipset. The 40mm dynamic drivers deliver spatial audio support, while the massive 125-hour battery life drops to still-impressive 85 hours with ANC enabled.
UK reviewers praised sound quality “on par if not better” than pricier competitors and noted the lightweight build makes them “super comfy to wear”. The TrueFree app includes 10-band EQ customization, preset sound profiles, and even hearing tests for personalization. Multipoint Bluetooth 6.0 allows simultaneous connection to two devices, while the included 3.5mm cable ensures uninterrupted listening when the battery finally depletes. Protein leather earcups and adjustable headband provide all-day comfort for remote workers and students. Clip the on-page coupon for maximum savings.
Sony ZX Series Wired On-Ear Headphones with Mic — $14.99 (40% off, matches Black Friday price):
Students and remote workers needing reliable basics will find these lightweight cans punch above their price point. CNN Underscored noted the “engaging sound with deep bass” and dynamic frequency range spanning 12Hz to 22kHz, powered by 30mm neodymium drivers in a closed-back design. The inline remote with microphone supports Siri and Google Assistant voice commands, while single/double/triple press controls handle playback and calls without reaching for your device.
Reviewers appreciated how the swappable earpads extend longevity and enable customization, though padding remains minimal for marathon sessions. The folding design and 1.2-meter Y-type cable resist tangles for daily commutes, and the MDR-ZX110AP model’s mic makes them video call-ready. Head-Fi forum members discovered positioning them slightly behind the ear reduces mid-bass hump and improves clarity. Perfect for students needing affordable headphones for online classes or anyone wanting backup wired audio that doesn’t require charging.
Home Security
Roku Indoor Security Camera 2-Pack — $27.99 (30% off, lowest in 30 days):
Roku ecosystem users looking for basic monitoring get solid 1080p coverage without subscription pressure. The cameras capture full HD video with a 130-degree field of view and full color night vision via eight infrared sensors, clearly showing room activity day or night. Tom’s Guide noted the ability to stream live feeds directly to any Roku device or TV “helps it stand out” from generic budget cameras.
Motion detection triggers instant notifications, and the 80db siren provides basic deterrence when needed. Android Police praised “excellent audio quality” from the built-in speaker and highlighted smoke/carbon monoxide alarm detection as a standout feature. Without subscription, you get live viewing and basic alerts, though person/pet detection and cloud recording require $4 monthly. MicroSD cards up to 32GB enable local recording, but the interface for reviewing footage remains clunky without cloud service. Two cameras at this price beat most single-camera deals for whole-home coverage.
Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro WiFi — $119.99 (40% off, matches all-time low):
Tech-savvy homeowners wanting more than just a camera get an entire smart home ecosystem in one weatherproof package. The 4MP sensor with f/1.0 aperture and True Color Night Vision identifies intruders even in 0.01 Lux conditions, while the built-in NPU enables local AI detection of faces, vehicles, packages, and animals without cloud processing. Tom’s Guide called it “the most versatile and most high-tech smart security camera” available, highlighting its dual role as Matter controller and Thread Border Router for connecting up to 80 Zigbee or 40 Thread devices.
MacStories praised the “best video quality ever seen from a HomeKit camera” with excellent color reproduction day and night. The IP65-rated housing operates from -22°F to 122°F, while 32GB built-in storage eliminates SD card hassles. Matter Alpha noted the “fast and responsive” event timeline even when accessing footage through Apple Home. HomeKit Secure Video support provides encrypted iCloud storage for Apple users, though the 30-day HomeGuardian trial expires quickly. Perfect for smart home enthusiasts wanting outdoor coverage that doubles as their automation hub.
Charging & Accessories
OneBeat 5X Outlet Extender with Surge Protection — $7 (65% off with Prime, matches all-time low):
Cramped outlets and device proliferation meet their match in this space-saving power multiplier. Tom’s Guide included OneBeat in their best surge protectors list, praising the “travel-friendly” design that costs “a mere $12” at regular price. The 1680-joule surge protection and 1875-watt capacity protect valuable electronics, while the three-sided design prevents large adapters from blocking adjacent outlets.
Five AC outlets plus four USB ports (including USB-C) deliver 9-device charging from a single wall plug, with smart IC technology optimizing charge speeds automatically. Fire-resistant PC shell withstands 1382°F temperatures, and the integrated circuit breaker prevents overloads. The stabilizing post and center screw keep the unit firmly attached during plug removal, solving the common frustration of extenders pulling loose. OneBeat’s official site highlights their heavy-duty 16AWG cords that resist overheating across their product line. Prime members save maximum with free shipping included—ideal for dorms, offices, or travel where outlets remain scarce.
