Apple deals are always worth a gander, and this one is just in time for Father’s Day! Right now, you can purchase the Apple AirPods Max from Best Buy for $450. That’s a $100 markdown from the headsets’ $550 retail, and we seldom see these cans on sale. If you’ve been looking for headphone deals, this is one of the best you’re going to find.

Why you should buy the AirPods Max

Available in five different colors, the AirPods Max are some of the best noise cancelling headphones we’ve ever tested. These sleek-looking place as much importance on cosmetics as they do performance. With memory foam cushioning on the earcups and a padded headband, you’ll be able to wear the Max for long periods of time without discomfort setting in. If you love listening to music and podcasts throughout the entire workday, Apple has got you covered.

Speaking of which: The Max’s ANC deliverables are absolutely insane! Whether you’re trying to block out office chatter, airplane noise, or NYC traffic, the AirPods Max are designed to hone in and cancel out the unwanted sounds all around you. But you can just as easily tap into the world-class transparency mode, which amplifies the sounds within your listening space.

Battery wise, you’ll be able to get around 20 hours of playback with ANC and Spatial Audio enabled. And just five minutes of charging will add an extra 1.5 listening hours to the AirPods Max! The included Smart Case is a godsend for traveling, offering both protection and recharging for the headphones.

We mentioned Spatial Audio. That’s Apple’s head-tracking tech, and the AirPods Max is one of the best ways to experience it. You’ll need an iPhone or iPad, and an app that supports spatial audio functions, but it’s well worth the immersive experience. Spatial audio makes you feel like your music is surrounding you, and as you turn your head, the tones adjust.

We’ve rarely seen the AirPods Max on sale, so this $100 discount isn’t a deal to put off. And if that $450 price is still too much, you should check out some of the other AirPods deals we’ve been digging up!

Best Buy is knocking $70 off this 50-inch 4K TV

Insignia F30 TV on a TV stand in a living room.

If you're on a tighter budget and want to grab yourself a nice big TV, then you'll be happy to know that Best Buy is running a special deal on its Insignia TVs that will let you grab a 50-inch one for pretty cheap. While you could go for some of the best TVs on the market, they often cost thousands of dollars and will likely have features you aren't likely to use. On the other hand, this 50-inch Insignia TV deal is going to cost you only $230 at Best Buy instead of the usual $300, so you get yourself a rather massive 4K TV for a very solid price.

Why you should buy the Insignia 50-inch F30 Series 4K TV
While this 50-inch Insignia F30 Series may be on the more budget-oriented side, that doesn't mean it's missing some important features, such as HDR10, which provides you with a lot better contrast than a traditional TV. You also get the higher 60Hz refresh rate, where you'd usually find 50Hz on more budget-friendly options, and it does mean that it's perfect for gaming on a PS5 or Xbox Series X or Series S since most games on those consoles tend to be locked at 4K at 60Hz anyway.

Every family will feel safer if their home is protected by security cameras, so if you haven't gotten around to installing some, you may want to take advantage of Best Buy's offer for the Arlo Pro 5S 2K Spotlight Camera bundle. From the package's original price of $500, it's down to a more affordable $250, but we're not sure for how long. If you want to pocket the savings of $250, you're going to have to hurry with your purchase, especially since security camera deals almost always sell out quickly.

Why you should buy the Arlo Pro 5S 2K Spotlight Camera bundle
The Arlo Pro 5S 2K Spotlight Camera bundle comes with three units of the Arlo Pro 5S 2K Spotlight Camera, which is made by one of the most trusted makers of home security cameras. The wire-free setup and all-weather protection makes it an excellent outdoor security camera, while the 2K resolution, color night vision, and integrated spotlight enable crystal clear footage when you look through them through the Arlo app. You'll get even more out of the Arlo Pro 5S 2K Spotlight Camera if you sign up for Arlo Secure, which offers various benefits such as 30-day video history saved to the cloud and smart activity zones. The latest update to the subscription, Arlo Secure 5, also recently added AI features that can identify specific people and vehicles.
