There's a reason for the hype surrounding the latest iteration of these top-rated earbuds — many reasons, in fact. For starters, they offer rich, crisp sound and superior noise cancellation, allowing you to enjoy music, podcasts, audiobooks and more without outside commotion getting in the way. This model lets you control the volume simply by swiping the stem, and you'll receive four pairs of silicone tips in different sizes for customized comfort.
Our tech editor, Rick Broida, named these "best wireless earbuds overall," saying, "What you get here is even better ANC, a bump in battery life, extra-small ear tips for users with smaller ears and an adaptive-audio mode that adjusts noise-cancellation and transparency modes based on the sounds around you. Meanwhile, Apple's charging case now has a speaker (for use with Find My) and a USB-C port in place of Lightning (the better to match with the USB-C iPhone 15)."
Check out his roundup of the best wireless earbuds for a full review.
If you're a creature of comfort, this is the shoe for you. Beloved by chefs, medical workers and kids alike, Crocs are lightweight, easy to clean, quick-drying and water-resistant — not to mention surprisingly trendy at the moment. These are lined for added comfort.
Finding a bra that's comfortable, supportive, offers full coverage and doesn't look like it was made during colonial times is a pretty impressive feat — but we think we've done it. This Playtex wireless bra has tens of thousands of perfect ratings, thanks to its cooling, moisture-wicking fabric, four-way wireless support (no painful digging!), Magic Ring construction for a natural lift and smoothing satin panels on the sides and back. With 14 lovely colors to choose from, it's a really pretty undergarment too! A good bra is a worthy investment, and $18 is practically unheard-of these days. This one doesn't go on sale for less than its current price very often, and we've seen it priced for over $20 before. (Honestly, that's still a good deal.)
"This bra says 18 hours and completely lives up to that promise," raved a happy fan. "It fits perfectly when you measure for the proper fit; it is soft, not scratchy, and does not cut into my shoulders to provide support for my large chest. I am absolutely getting more!"
Having an iPad is like having your own portable entertainment studio, and Apple’s most affordable model — available in two finishes — is now even more accessible with an additional 24% off.

If a colleague likes brown-bagging it instead of spending $20 on a burrito, congratulate them on their thriftiness, then gift them this.

The inner bowl is dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup.
This top-rated telly checks all the right boxes: High-def visuals? Check. Dolby Digital Plus audio? Check. Alexa Voice Search? Check!

"What a great buy!" gushed a verified viewer. "I wanted a smart TV for the bedroom and happened across this little gem ... The remote allows for voice command and Alexa compatibility, which is very convenient. The picture quality is surprisingly great!"
This No. 1 bestselling classic is suitable for kids (and kids at heart!) ages 6 and up.

(There are also instructions for alternative versions to mix things up.) Get it for nearly 60% off!

Aside from their fab price (over 40% off!), we love the real-time power readout on the front of the case of these earbuds, making it so much easier than pulling out your phone and swiping to find out how much charge is left. The top number shows how much juice is in the case, while the two smaller indicators show readings for each bud. Pretty smart! But that's not their only innovative feature: These buds have everything you'd expect in a quality pair. On-ear controls let you answer calls, skip songs and activate Siri. They also have multiple sound modes to pick from. Nearly 8,000 five-star fans can't be wrong, right?

This adorable orb will quickly become one of your most treasured devices — it plays music, displays the time and gives you access to Alexa, who will happily tell you the weather, set an alarm or tell a joke when you're in need of a pick-me-up. You can even connect it to other compatible smart devices and control them via voice. We haven't seen it go on sale for less than it currently is in months, and the fact that it's a No. 1 bestseller with tens of thousands of perfect ratings makes it a worthy investment.
"I own three of these!" shared a very big fan. "I love the fact that it has a clock on it. I find that very helpful and it really suits my needs. It’s visible enough from far away, too.

The popular fox pictured here is an impressive 50% off — its lowest price yet.
The a.m. "grind" doesn't have to be taken so literally, as in, having to grind your own coffee beans. Mornings are hectic enough as it is!

Sleek as a Dyson, minus the high price tag, this ultra-affordable vac just might make you enjoy cleaning your floors! At a mere 3 pounds, it's super easy to take with you from room to room, and its 45 minutes of run time should be sufficient for sucking up dust, dirt and debris from the most sprawling abode. We love that it turns into a handheld vac for reaching higher surfaces, and the fact that it has a five-stage filtration system designed to capture 99.99% of particles floating around is the cherry on the sundae.

I have two cats as well, and it picks up all their hair. I have two kids, and it picks up all their hair too! ... But seriously, it does a really good job at cleaning up our carpets, they feel so soft afterward. ... I love that it's bag-less. It is super easy to empty once it gets full; nothing gets stuck in the hoses, either. I also love that it filters out the air as it sweeps! My old vacuum would make the house smell dusty sometimes ... this one doesn't at all. It's also lightweight and easy to maneuver and carry around — makes cleaning the stairs easy."
