Forget Anker, This Baseus 9-in-1 Docking Station Matched Its 2024 Prime Day Price

Save 38% on the 9-in-1 Baseus USB-C docking station over at Amazon for a limited time. Pretty much anyone can recognize the value of a good docking station—that goes double for anyone who works from home. Many of us are primarily laptop users. It's comfortable to work from the couch, bring it to a coffee shop, or always have it with you when traveling for either work or leisure. However, a docking station allows you to open up possibilities with a larger work space when needed. And right now, this 9-in-1 USB-C docking station is on sale for 38% off at Amazon. That brings it down from $64 to just $40. You'll save a cool $24 on your purchase. See at Amazon Sure, it feels fine to work just with the laptop alone but we deserve better than fine: sometimes it's better to have a fully robust workstation. My desk has two monitors, each significantly larger than my laptop screen. This is great for viewing multiple tabs at once or for gaming or video editing. I have a mechanical keyboard with raised, clicky-clacky keys which I find much more satisfying to type on than the flat keypad of my laptop. The speakers on my desk are louder and deeper than the ones built-into my computer. I've got a drawing tablet, a DSLR I've hooked up as a webcam for exceptional camera quality, and a powerful microphone. My laptop simply does not support all of those at once on its own. Most laptops might have two USB ports on it and that's it. A docking station allows us to use all of these extra accessories when our desks and it's easy to hook up to. Just plug in the laptop to the docking station and everything will be connected. Easy as pie. All the Ports You Need in One Place Let's break down exactly what this docking station can do. On board, it's got two HDMI. Those allow you to connect to two different displays at once—three if your count your laptop's own display. One of the issues with docking stations can sometimes be their passthrough. It's great to be able to connected to multiple monitors, but if you're playing games on your rig, if there is a loss in resolution or frames-per-second, you might find yourself avoiding a docking station all together. Good news here, though. This one allows for 4K passthrough at 120Hz. You'll still be able to play games in high detail with lightning-fast framerates. As far as USB goes, there is a USB-C power input capable of charging your phone, tablet, or other devices at 100W. The Baseus docking station also has three USB-A data ports, a USB-C data port, and a gigabit ethernet port. It's also got an SD and TF card reader. Right now, the Baseus docking station is down in price by a solid $22 (-38%). That brings it from $64 to just $40 for a limited time. See at Amazon

The latest Amazon Echo Buds 2 with ANC are a huge 61% off right now

Despite their best efforts with Fire TV devices, Kindles, and the surprisingly good Amazon Basics line, it is somewhat difficult to remember that Amazon is more than a retailer — that they're also a producer of products themself. This deal — which takes the $140 Amazon Echo Buds 2, drops the price by 61% (a discount of $85), and sells them for just $55 — really reminds you that Amazon is alive and well as a producer. Tap the button below to check out this neat headphones deal yourself or keep reading to see our take. Why you should buy the Amazon Echo Buds 2 The Amazon Echo Buds 2 are an affordable pair of earbuds that are comfortable to wear, have 15 hours of total battery life, and are IPX4 water resistant. They also feature ANC, something you've classically not seen below $60. And while you shouldn't expect the kind of silence you'll get from Sony's new WH-1000XM6, they'll take the edge off. Our Amazon Echo Buds 2 review mentions that where these buds really shine, instead, is their transparency mode, which is adjustable and can even make external sounds louder when dialed up to the max. As an Amazon product, you'll also enjoy how they can connect with your Alexa app's location services, helping you find your buds whenever they get lost. As an interesting quirk, the inner accelerometer of the Echo Buds 2 works as a basic step counter, making these a great Fitbit alternative if steps is the main stat you're looking to track. Classically, at their full price, there was the question of who these buds were really for. They have a special feature that lets you talk directly to Alexa hands free (i.e. there's no need for an initial button press) directly from your earbuds, so they were always handy for the Alexa-obsessed. At just $55, however, the range of interested parties goes up immensely. If you compare these buds at $55 to some of the offerings in our list of the best budget headphones and earbuds and best wireless earbuds, you're really only going to come up with two alternatives anywhere close to this price and quality — the EarFun Air Pro 4 (marked down to $63) or the Soundcore Space A40 (marked down to $59). Getting Amazon's newest buds for just $55, however, still feels like a steal, especially since that is a price that's $85 off their usual $140.
