Cyber Monday 2024 is in full swing, and every hour it seems there’s a new promo or discount to write home about. We’ve been seeing a lot of Cyber Monday headphone deals over the last few days, and we’d like to bring the following offer to your attention: Right now, when you purchase the Sennheiser HD 450BT Bluetooth 5.0 Wireless Headphones at Walmart, Best Buy, or on Amazon, you’ll only pay $88. At full price, this model sells for $180.

We tested these noise-cancelling headphones over four years ago, and AV expert Ryan Waniata had this to say: “Impressive features, style, and noise cancellation add up to a worthy option for budget shoppers.”

Why you should buy the Sennheiser HD 450BT Headphones

Sennheiser headphones and earbuds are some of the best on the market, especially when it comes to sound quality, ANC, and battery life. The HD 450BT is a sleek set of cans that are comfortable to wear for hours at a time. Boasting up to 30 hours of battery life on a full charge, the headphones recharge via USB-C. While the default sound profile may be a bit bass-heavy for some, you’ll be able to use the Sennheiser Smart Control app to adjust highs, mids, and lows to suit your ears better.

These cans also come with a carrying case, a USB-C cable, and user manuals. When it comes time to cancel out unwanted noise, the HD 450BT delivers exceptional noise cancelling and a great transparency mode, too. This makes these a great pair of headphones for travel, especially if you often find yourself on buses and planes.

We’re not sure how long this markdown is going to stick around, but considering Cyber Monday is almost over, it might be in your best interest to buy ASAP. Take $91 off the Sennheiser HD 450BT Bluetooth 5.0 Wireless Headphones for Cyber Monday, and be sure to take a look at our lists of Walmart Cyber Monday deals and Best Buy Cyber Monday deals too!

My favorite running earbuds, the Jabra Elite 8 Active, are $170 for Cyber Monday

A hand holding olive colored Jabra Elite 8 Active earbuds in their open case above a wooden outdoor table.

For years, Jabra was at the top of the list for best running earbuds, and they've always been the ones I reach for when I go out for a run. A few years ago I was using the Jabra Elite Active 75t, and then the Elite 7 Active, but now it's the Jabra Elite 8 Active. They have a grippy silicone rubber outer texture -- Jabra calls it ShakeGrip -- that keeps them comfortably in place, they're IP68 rated so running in the rain causes no issue (you can even dunk them in water after a workout for a cleansing rinse), they're incredibly durable, and right now for Cyber Monday they're $170.

The Gen 2 earbuds include an updated charging case that adds the ability for it to act as a wireless transmitter. By using the included USB-C/3.5mm cable, you can plug the case in to an airplane's entertainment system, a TV, or treadmill, and press the button on the front of the case to connect to the earbuds using the Bluetooth LE Audio standard. Jabra also improved the spatial audio performance and ANC with the Gen 2, but I'll be honest, I don't like using ANC while I'm out for a run. It's more important that I'm safe and aware of my surroundings than drowning them out, but the ANC is there if you choose to use the earbuds beyond your workouts.

The TCL QM8 will light up your living room and is on sale for Cyber Monday

TCL QM89 115-inch

TCL and Hisense have been neck-and-neck for the midrange TV battle, and it really comes to a head during sales events like Cyber Monday. I've been living with the 2024 75-inch TCL QM8 for a couple of months, and for my money, it's the best midrange TV to get during the holiday sales. It's incredibly bright, blasting out over 4,000 nits of peak brightness, which makes it a fantastic choice for a sunlit living room like mine. That brightness is paired with great local dimming performance that limits blooming to a great degree and delivers excellent contrast (especially for a mini-LED TV). Every size of the QM8 is on sale during Cyber Monday, including the 65-inch for just under $1,000.

The QM8's closest competitor, the Hisense U8N, is also on sale during Cyber Monday. You can find the 75-inch U8N for $1,300, so a couple hundred less than the QM8, but I prefer the picture image on the TCL. The Hisense's processing can add a red border to some fast-moving images, and while the U8N is a great TV in its own right, there were some bugs with the EOTF Caleb ran into during testing that I experienced as well. That makes the TCL QM8 a preferable choice for me.

Why you should buy the Sonos Ace now that they’re at their lowest price

Sonos may have had its worst year on record, but now that the Sonos Ace wireless headphones are at their all-time lowest price for Cyber Monday ($349), now is the time to buy them.

I know, the Sonos app redesign caused major chaos and the damage done has still not been 100% fixed, but hear me out: I think the Sonos Ace are great wireless headphones, even if you never use them with a Sonos system.
