If nothing stands out among the headphone deals that you’ve come across, you may want to try bone conduction headphones. If you’re interested, you’re in luck because the Shokz OpenRun Pro, originally priced at $180, are on sale from Best Buy for a more affordable $140. That’s amazing value for these bone conduction headphones, but you need to hurry with your purchase if you want to take advantage of the $40 discount. The offer is available for now, but we’re not sure how much time is remaining before it gets taken down.

Why you should buy the Shokz OpenRun Pro bone conduction headphones

Unlike traditional headphones that cover your ears and blast sound waves through your eardrums, bone conduction headphones like the Shokz OpenRun Pro use transducers that sit next to your ears to send vibrations through your cheekbones and deliver sound directly to your inner ear, according to our guide on how do bone conduction headphones work. The benefits of this technology include leaving your ears open so you can still hear what’s going on around you such as when you’re commuting or working in the office, and improved stability as the Shokz OpenRun Pro features a wraparound titanium frame that stays in place compared to the bands of traditional headphones.

The Shokz OpenRun Pro is our top pick among the best bone conduction headphones because, in addition to their high-quality titanium design, they’re equipped with the Shokz TurboPitch technology that promises premium sound quality and PremiumPitch 2.0 technology for enhanced bass. They also come with IP55 resistance against water and dust, a battery life of up to 10 hours from a full charge, and a dual noise-canceling microphone so you’ll be heard loud and clear during voice calls.

If you like the advantages of bone conduction headphones, getting the Shokz OpenRun Pro is an excellent way to enjoy them, especially now that you can get them at $40 off from Best Buy. You’ll only have to pay $140 instead of $180 for these headphones, but only if you act fast because there’s no assurance that they’d still be this cheap tomorrow. If you’re already looking forward to listening to your favorite playlists with the Shokz OpenRun Pro bone conduction headphones, don’t hesitate with your purchase in order to pocket the savings.

If you're a fan of Beat's Powerbeats 4 or Powerbeats Pro but not so much a fan of the price, then you may want to consider these JVC Fitness wireless earbuds. In fact, they are pretty great earbuds that are great for day-to-day use or even sports, and even better, they're going for only $30. That's a $10 discount from Best Buy on their original $40 price tag, and while that may not mean much in the grand scheme of things, that's still a 25% discount on a solid set of budget earbuds.

You can snag Samsung’s 7.1.2-channel soundbar for just $750 today
The Samsung HW-Q850D 7.1.2 Soundbar.

Even the best TVs don't really have the same sort of audio quality that you'd get from a stand-alone system that's specifically made for it. That means that, if you're looking for your next TV room upgrade, one of the best things you can do is get yourself something like Samsung's HW-Q850D soundbar. The HW-Q850D is similar to the HW-Q990C, our pick for the best soundbar on the market, and it's heavily discounted down to just $750 from $1,100 at Best Buy, which constitutes a substantial $350 discount. We don't often see it discounted that steeply, so it's absolutely worth grabbing now.

Why you should buy the Samsung HW-Q850D 7.1.2 channel wireless soundbar
For starters, one of the great things about the Samsung HW-Q850D is that it has a lot of additional speakers to hit the 7.1.2 channel, and that includes a couple of satellite speakers and a subwoofer. If you're not familiar with various classifications of surround sound, you can check out our ultimate surround sound guide, but the long and short of it is that it has seven main speakers, a subwoofer, and up-firing speakers for a 3-dimensional effect. That gives you a pretty large coverage of space to really create a deep soundstage in the room, so it really feels like you're surrounded by the audio that's coming from whatever you're watching or listening to.

Samsung's The Frame QLED 4K TV rarely appears in the TV deals at Best Buy, so you don't want to miss this chance at savings from the retailer's Samsung Savings Event.

There's also a bundle that combines the 65-inch Samsung The Frame QLED 4K TV with the Samsung HW-Q930D 9.1.4-channel soundbar, and that is $800 off, for a package price of $2,600 instead of $3,400. If you're interested in making either purchase, you better hurry as the sale ends on October 20, and there's no assurance that stocks will still be available by then.
