These Bluetooth blasters are on sale for $38 — great headphones at the greatest sale price we've seen. (Amazon)
Sony is the king of headphones, and that's a nearly undisputed fact. Another fact? Their headphones are often on the pricey side — but not always. Here's one delightful exception: The wireless Sony WH-CH520, a comfortable, long-lasting set of cans with superb sound quality, are marked way, way down to just $38 from their usual $60 at Amazon.
Make fighting with your family members over power outlets a thing of the past, courtesy of this electrifying gadget. It's equipped with five AC outlets and four USB ports, enough for everyone to charge their iPads, iPhones, MacBooks (you get the picture) all at once. Oh, and it's so much sleeker than having a power strip on your floor — and you won't have to worry about tripping over it.
No, it's not a massive discount, but this bestseller is within a dollar of its all-time low (and it's retailed for as much as $20 in the past).
Ready to finally trade your fraying wired earbuds for a sleek pair of Apple AirPods? These second-gen top-sellers have hundreds of thousands of perfect ratings for a reason — well, multiple reasons: clear, rich sound quality, 24-hour battery life and the fact that you won't find yourself tangled up in cords if you accidentally fall asleep with them in. Apple is one of those brands that doesn't really need to have sales since their products are so in demand. That said, we'll take $49 off when we can!
"I've had a real problem with finding comfortable earbuds and for years have stuck to the one [pair of] corded earbuds that were comfortable and didn't fall out," wrote one Apple convert. "I thought it was finally time to try these as I transitioned to only having a cell phone. I was surprised at how comfortable they are. The sound quality is good, and the charge lasts a long time. I'm a believer!"
This compact, lightweight (under half a pound!) portable speaker is ideal for packing on trips, using at parties or playing music while you lounge on the patio. It easily connects to devices within 66 feet, and since it's waterproof, you can bring it to the beach or pool without worry.
This little gadget will give you an instant upgrade to the performance of your TV.
Never mind that it's a previous-generation model: iPads hold their value, and this iteration is one of the best tablets you can buy, period — especially at this heavily discounted price. A price break of $130 is significant, but that markdown is even more eye-catching when you consider this model comes with 64GB of storage. This is the absolute lowest price on record for the 9th Generation iPad — we highly recommend grabbing it while it's 40% off.
Want to streamline your streaming experience? This Roku box and remote set will have you jumping from Netflix to Disney+ to Hulu in a jiffy.

"I had a regular TV without any streaming connectivity, and this completely upgraded it," said a user. "The streaming quality is so much better than broadcast TV, and now we aren't stuck with just a few channels. It's also really easy to take with you, if you might go to a hotel or somewhere without a smart TV."
Sony's most budget-friendly pair of noise-cancelling headphones, the CH520s are still immensely comfortable and available in three separate colors. During this Cyber Monday sale, they're marked down to just $38 — on par with the lowest price they've ever been.
These are high-end headphones without a high-end cost, and that's especially true right now — you can snag these for just $38 versus their normal $60. This is the lowest price on the web right now, beating out Walmart and Best Buy. No wonder 2,000-plus pairs have flown off the virtual shelves in the last month alone.
Let's start with the most important thing: comfort. The Sony WH-CH520s are lightweight and have soft ear cups, plus extra cushioning for your head. You'll be able to wear these all day without the all-too-familiar ache in your ears that comes from uncomfortable, unbalanced headphones.
The next thing is the battery life. These guys can go for up to 50 hours on a single charge, and throwing them on the charger for just three minutes gives an unbelievable 90 minutes of playback time. Long plane rides, meet your match.
You can also customize the equalizer to provide you with the kind of sound you want, and the multipoint connection makes it easy to pair with two separate Bluetooth devices and swap between them. A built-in microphone means hands-free calling, so you won't even have to pull your phone out to answer a call.
Nearly 10,000 shoppers bestowed a five-star rave on these, contributing to an impressive overall 4.5 rating.
Pros
"Best headphones I've ever had," said one of them. "Never owned such good headphones. Definitely worth the money! It's very lightweight and the battery life is incredible! I got it two days ago and the battery is still at 70%! It's very stylish as well. I've gotten so many compliments on these headphones. Must-have! Highly recommend!"
Another gushed: "I couldn’t be happier with the quality and very affordable price. Well worth it!"
"I was influenced by TikTok girlies and got these over-the-ear headphones," wrote a fashionable fan. "I have AirPods and can’t bear them more than 5-7 minutes as they hurt my ears. These are awesome! Not as tight as Beats or bulky — very light, streamlined in design and the color is beautiful and muted. Sound quality is great — I don’t care too much about bass, etc., but no complaints here when it comes to sound. Would def buy as a gift for someone!"
Cons
"Sound quality is pretty good, range is okay, clarity is good," said this shopper. "Only thing is, after wearing it for over an hour the tops of my ears start to hurt."
This guy really gave us an earful, saying that the controls buttons "suck" and are "mushy ... not as intuitive direction-wise (where you'd think forward play is, is actually backwards play), and hard to distinguish tactile-wise." He added: " No noise cancelling or transparency mode; very basic music only, baby!"
