One of our favorite headphone deals is back: Apple AirPods 2 are on sale. Right now, they’re down to $89 at Walmart, so you can save $40 off the regular price of $129. The earbuds continue to be a favorite among anyone looking for something that will pair seamlessly with their Apple device. While they may be ageing technology, they still sounds great, and these kind of Apple deals make them even more tempting.

Why you should buy the Apple AirPods (2nd generation)

The Apple AirPods 2 are showing their age a little, but they remain “safe [and] simple,” as our review first described them in 2022. They’re incredibly easy to set up with your Apple devices. Just place them nearby and your iPhone or iPad does the rest of the work for you.

From there, using the Apple AirPods 2 is just as easy. There’s quick access to Siri by simply saying “hey Siri,” and you can double-tap to play or skip forward. The earbuds use the Apple H1 chip so you get a faster and more reliable wireless connection to all your devices. You won’t have to worry about any dropouts.

One full charge gives you up to five hours of listening time, and that becomes more than 24 hours once you factor in the charging case. Unlike the best wireless earbuds, you’ll need to connect the Apple AirPods 2 via a Lightning cable rather than wirelessly, but that’s a relatively small issue when you’re dealing with such well-priced earbuds.

Other than that, the Apple AirPods 2 have all the essentials you could need. Audio is rich and high quality, and you can easily take calls on them. There’s seamless switching between devices so you’re always in control. These work just as well connected to your MacBook as they do when you head out for a walk or run.

Aimed perfectly at those wanting a classic pair of earbuds for less, the Apple AirPods 2 normally cost $129. Right now though, you can buy them from Walmart for $89, which is a fantastic deal. If you need some simple earbuds for your workouts or for relaxing, these will delight you. Check them out now.

My favorite headphones are $50 off right now — you need them

Right now, one of the best headphone deals comes from Crutchfield. Today, you can buy the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones for $50 off, meaning you pay $298 instead of $348. The headphones are my personal favorite, doing a fantastic job of making whatever I listen to sound great and blocking out surrounding noises wonderfully. If that sounds like something you want in your life (you really do), read on for more information on why these are must have headphones.

Why you should buy the Sony WH-1000XM4
Sensible potential buyers no doubt head over to see what we rank as the best headphones. If that’s you, you’ll notice the Sony WH-1000XM4 aren’t there any more. They used to be, until the WH-1000XM5 came out and replaced them. I bought the WH-1000XM4 after the newer model came out because the price difference and some subtle changes meant that it simply made more sense to go slightly older. We have a full comparison between the Sony WH-1000XM5 and XM4, but what it boils down to is that the XM5 are a little lighter but they don’t fold up like the XM4, which would have been annoying when I was on a recent flight and trying to squeeze everything into my carry-on.

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.
