Even though Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 get much of the attention these days, Sony’s WF-1000XM4 wireless earbuds are a near-perfect rival. The AirPods Pro 2 and Sony WF-1000XM4 are almost neck-and-neck when it comes to sound quality and features like noise cancellation. That’s a good thing for Android fans since it means Sony offers a great set of earbuds for those who don’t live in the Apple ecosystem.

The Sony WF-1000XM4 set themselves apart from other wireless earbuds by offering impressive battery life and advanced codec support. You’ll get up to eight hours of listening time even with Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) enabled and a staggering 12 hours when ANC is off. That’s without putting them back in the included case, which offers enough juice for two more full charges. In the event that the buds run out of juice, you can get another hour of listening time with only five minutes in the case.

The XM4 also include support for Sony’s high-quality LDAC Bluetooth codec, which promises to get you much closer to lossless audio quality, plus Sony’s DSEE Extreme digital signal processing that can upscale compressed digital music to make it sound even better. Depending on what you pair them with, these may be the best-sounding true wireless earbuds you can buy right now.

There’s no doubt that Sony’s WF-1000XM4 are a great set of earbuds, and at only $250 in this week’s best Prime Day headphone deals, it’s a great time to jump in if you’ve been considering a new pair of true wireless earbuds.

2024 Sony Bravia 7 4K mini-LED TV.

Even if you're willing to spend a significant amount of cash on TV deals to upgrade your home theater setup, you should still be on the lookout for potential savings. Here's an offer from Best Buy ahead of Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days deals that's going to be hard to refuse -- the 75-inch Sony Bravia 7 Mini-LED QLED 4K TV with a $600 discount, which slashes its price to $2,200 from $2,800. This TV was just rolled out this year, which means this bargain will attract a lot of attention. Proceed with your purchase immediately as the stocks that are up for sale may run out quickly.

Why you should buy the 75-inch Sony Bravia 7 Mini-LED QLED 4K TV
The Sony Bravia 7 Mini-LED QLED 4K TV is part of the brand's line of its brightest 4K TVs ever. It features both QLED TV technology, which uses quantum dots to enable incredible brightness, and mini-LED technology, which allows thousands of LEDs to fit in a space that only supports hundreds of regular LEDs for more control over contrast. Combined with 4K Ultra HD resolution for sharp details, XR Triluminos Pro for lifelike colors, and Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos for a cinematic experience, watching shows and movies on the Sony Bravia 7 Mini-LED QLED 4K TV will be a feast for the senses.

AirPods Pro 2 haven’t gone back to full price since Prime Day
The Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C and MagSafe buds on a table with case in the background.

The Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C and MagSafe are originally priced at $249, but they've been available with a discount from Amazon since Prime Day in July. They're on sale right now at $190, which isn't as cheap as from the AirPods deals of the shopping event when they were going for $169, but the $59 discount is still a pretty nice score for these premium wireless earbuds. However, the longer this trend goes on, the higher the chance that the streak ends and they go back to their regular price. If you want to take advantage of the savings, we highly recommend pushing through with your purchase as soon as you can.

Why you should buy the Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C and MagSafe
The lowered price of the Apple AirPods Pro 2 with USB-C and MagSafe likely remains because of the launch of the Apple AirPods 4 with ANC, which brought active noise cancellation to the entry-level AirPods. The feature was previously only available in the AirPods Pro line. However, because the Apple AirPods Pro 2 come with silicone eartips, they do a superior job at preventing you from hearing unwanted noise. Both models of wireless earbuds offer USB-C charging, but the Apple AirPods Pro 2 feature a force sensor that translates swipes into volume adjustments, and overall better sound quality for listening to music and taking calls.

Internals of the HP Omen 35L.

If you’re looking for great gaming PC deals, head over to HP. While it might seem a more likely outlet for standard desktop computer deals, HP is great for gaming through its HP Omen line of gaming desktops. Right now, you can buy the HP Omen 35L gaming desktop for $450 off, meaning instead of paying $1,400, you pay $950. That works out as a 32% price cut, so it’s a pretty sweet deal. In part, this is due to the launch of the GeForce RTX 50-series of GPUs, but investing in a 40-series GPU is still a good option. Here’s what it has to offer.

Why you should buy the HP Omen 35L
HP isn’t a big name in the best gaming PCs world, but it has featured there in the past with its HP Omen range. With the HP Omen 35L, there’s a lot to like. It has a 14th-generation Intel Core i5-14400F CPU teamed up with 16GB of Kingston Fury DDR5 and 512GB of SSD storage. For the graphics card, there’s an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060.
