A major concern with earbuds, and most headphones really, is that they can cause hearing loss because of how they isolate sound, especially at loud volumes. But it doesn’t have to be that way, according to Oladance. Instead of the traditional in-ear design employed by most headphone makers, the Oladance earbuds have an open-ear design. They rest on top of your outer ear, gently and yet securely, which is great if you’re active, like going for a run, working out, or on the move. There are no tips, so they never go inside your ear, which means they’re better for your eardrums than traditional buds. Even so, they offer superior sound so you’ll get a pleasant, immersive experience no matter what you’re listening to. Full transparency keeps you connected and tuned into your environment while you’re listening as well. To coincide with Prime Day, they’re on sale for $150, and from July 12 until July 13 they’ll be even cheaper at $119, down from $179. You can check out the sale or keep reading for more on these rather unique earbuds.

Crowned the winner of the Red Dot Award in 2022 because of their intelligent and unique design, the Oladance Open Ear Headphones and Wireless Earbuds have a lot to offer. For starters, they come in several vibrant colors, including Cloud White, Interstellar Blue, Martian Orange, and Space Silver. They come with a matching carrying case that can be used to store and charge the headphones via a wired connection.

Battery life is excellent at up to 16 hours per charge, achievable thanks to the large-capacity 160mAh rechargeable batteries, with a charging time of one-and-a-half to two hours. Two powerful 16.5mm drivers deliver superior acoustic sound, but thanks to the design, you can avoid hearing damage and still hear the surrounding environment.

They fit comfortably on the outside of the ear — not inside — to offer a safer and healthier listening experience. The five-point support fit system ensures they remain snugly in place, and the skin-friendly silicone is soft and comfortable. Setting the headphones on the outside of the ear has no negative impact on sound quality, so you’ll hear clear highs, booming lows, and punchy bass. There’s no quality compromise. This also allows for some rather unique scenarios you wouldn’t get with other, comparable earbuds or headsets. For example, you can still hear and remain responsive to your family while wearing the headphones, even if your music is on a loud volume. It also keeps you connected and tuned into your surroundings which is important if you’re outdoors, like cycling or running, where it’s important to remain aware of traffic and nearby events.

The earbuds are IPX4 water and sweatproof, so you can wear them while running, even in the rain. Smart touch controls allow you to skip tracks, adjust volume, and pause music quickly and easily. Moreover, you can take calls and access your phone-native voice assistant from the headphones.

Normally, the Oladance Open Ear Headphones are $179, but they’re on sale right now for $149 as part of an Amazon Prime daily deal. From July 12 to July 13 that price will drop even lower to $119. It’s the best time to snag these exquisite headphones if your interest is piqued!

With Prime Big Deal Days, here’s your guide to Anker’s power solution deals
Anker SOLIX portable power stations for Prime Big Deal Days

What's bigger than so many Prime Big Deal Days offers dropping all at once? Having a huge list of options to choose from, like what we're seeing with Anker's portable power solutions. To be more specific, portable power stations come in a variety of sizes and capacities, and they're essentially meant for different scenarios. One might be ideal for home power backup during an outage, for instance, while another might be better suited to off-grid living or portable living -- hello van-lifers. And since Anker has a multitude of power solutions on sale for the event, we thought we'd put together a guide exploring some of the best use-cases for each model. That should make it easier for you to find a power solution that matches your lifestyle.

Let's dive in.

JBL Tune 720BT in white.

If you're thinking about buying new headphones, you may want to take advantage of the discounts from Amazon's early Prime Big Deal Days. The shopping event will run from Oct. 8 to Oct. 9, but you can already enjoy savings when buying these JBL wireless headphones -- the JBL Tune 510BT and the JBL Tune 720BT are both $10 off, with the former down to $30 from $40, and the latter down to $70 from $80. These headphone deals are only available for a limited time though, so we think they'll be gone once this year's Prime Big Deal Days officially start. Shop them now while you still can.

Get a four-pack of Apple AirTags for only $79 thanks to early Prime deal
Person holding an Apple AirTag.

Apple fans who keep losing their stuff may want to invest in the Apple AirTag. A four-pack of these Bluetooth trackers is on sale from Amazon for only $79 as part of the early offers for its Prime Big Deal Days, for savings of $20 on the bundle's original price of $99. We're not sure if this bargain will still be available upon the launch of the shopping event, which will officially run from Oct. 8 to Oct. 9, so if you want to make sure that you get these tracking devices for cheaper than usual, we highly recommend taking advantage of this gem from today's Apple deals.

Why you should buy the Apple AirTag
The small and portable Apple AirTag may prove to be a lifesaver for some Apple users -- if you've got it attached to an item, you can use Apple's Find My app to determine where it is, and you can even play a sound on its built-in speaker. Setting it up is easy, as all it takes is one tap to connect it to your iPhone or iPad. Within Bluetooth range of 30 feet, Precision Finding with its U1 chip gives an accurate location to within inches, so you'll easily find that remote control that fell behind the couch or the keys that found their way to an unusual spot, for example.
