Bag These Sennheiser Wireless Sport Earbuds for Just $75, a Whopping 50% Off

CNET20 hours ago

We firmly believe that a good pair of headphones or earbuds can be essential, especially if you want to listen to audio without bothering those around you. But if you're looking for sport headphones, you need something built for the task. The Sennheiser Consumer Audio Sport true wireless earbuds are a great option thanks to their combination of great features and comfortable design. They'd normally run for around $150, but you can grab a pair with a huge 50% discount today, dropping the price to $75.
While you still have almost two weeks to place your order before this deal ends, there's one caveat to consider. Woot's stocks often run dry before its deals' end dates, so ordering soon is still recommended if you want to lock this special price in.
Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.
These Sennheiser Consumer Audio Sport true wireless earbuds are Bluetooth in-ear headphones. Your purchase comes with the earbuds, a charging case (with a lanyard), a USB-C charging wire, closed and open ear adapter sets in three sizes and even ear fins sets. This ensures the earbuds will be super comfortable since you can adjust the fins and adapter sets to what fits your ear best.
As for features, these earbuds are rated IP54, which protects against dust and water. So, if you're sweating while using them, they'll still work fine. They have a battery life of up to 27 hours, giving you all-day usage. They have a frequency range from 5 Hz to 21 kHz, meaning you can hear low subs and soaring vocals. Phone calls can be heard pretty well, too.
Why this deal matters
These Sennheiser earbuds have dropped to a new all-time low price. Previously, the record low price was $80, but that was last seen about a year ago on Amazon. Currently on Amazon, these earbuds are full price at $150. Woot has the lowest price on the market for these Sennheiser earbuds right now. But as you know, deals on Woot don't last very long. This deal is set to expire in 12 days, but if quantities sell out, it could be even sooner.

The Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3 Headphones Are Fantastic for Gaming, With One Big Compromise

Turtle Beach is no stranger to good gaming headsets. As far as my friends were concerned, they were essential if you wanted to be considered a "serious" gamer. The company's Stealth 700 Gen 3 sits just below its Stealth Pro line and offers an impressive range of features for $200. For starters the headphones has big, 60mm drivers, plus multiple wireless transmitters as well as Bluetooth. The PC version even includes the option for 24-bit audio, sadly at the cost of Xbox compatibility. Speaking of compatibility, the non-24-bit version will work with PC, Xbox, PlayStation and any Bluetooth device like a phone or Nintendo Switch. The CrossPlay button on the right earcup lets you instantly switch between the wireless transmitters. You can even stream audio from a Bluetooth-connected device and the wireless transmitter simultaneously so you can listen to an epic playlist from your phone while dominating on the battlefield. What I like about the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3 Lori Grunin/CNET The ear cups are quite comfortable. The cushions are memory foam and covered in a leatherette material that never got uncomfortable or hot for me while wearing them for long periods. Turtle Beach also has what they call "ProSpecs" technology, which is supposedly glasses-friendly. As a spectacle-clad gamer, I appreciated how comfortable they were while wearing my glasses. Other headsets I've worn were not as accommodating. The mic is cleverly hidden away in the left ear cup, and when you pull it down, it automatically unmutes. For the Gen 3, Turtle Beach has added AI-assisted noise reduction to the microphone, which worked very well for me during video calls. I don't play many multiplayer games, so I wasn't able to test it out during gameplay. Judging by my experience on several video calls I'd say it works well. I wouldn't say it's significantly better than what any other company is doing, but it's good at what it does. The left earcup also houses the power button, USB-C charging port, two control wheels - one of which is remappable. There's also a remappable Mode button which by default toggles Turtle Beach's Superhuman hearing mode which increases the sounds of gunshots and footsteps. On the right earcup is the Bluetooth pairing button, Bluetooth volume control wheel and CrossPlay button for switching between sources. What I don't like about the Turtle Beach Stealth 700 Gen 3 Lori Grunin/CNET As my colleague Lori Grunin pointed out in her Stealth Pro review, having a single Bluetooth button can be a double-edged sword. Since Bluetooth headphones automatically connect to the most recently connected device the headphones are always jumping back and forth between devices. So this might take a moment to remedy at the start of a play session. To be honest, with all the buttons and controls on the Stealth 700, it took me a while to learn them all. At times it became annoying. I'd have to remember which wheel controlled volume for which device. Sometimes I'd hit one when trying to readjust the headset. What I'd really have liked was a master volume wheel that decreased everything at once. CNET Oddly, I noticed that the power indicator light around the power button would blink rapidly while it was on instead of remaining solid green. It wasn't a deal-breaker for me since I couldn't see it, but it seemed the opposite of what a blinking light means on other gear. There's a bit of a downside to those big drivers and extra cushiony ear cups: the Stealth 700 is a bit heavy. It never became uncomfortable or painful, but I would instantly feel them with even the slightest head movement. I was always conscious that they were on my head and I always had to be careful of never moving my head too quickly. What might be a bigger dealbreaker for some, and became more of an issue for me the longer I used them, is the lack of any sort of active noise cancellation. With lots of far cheaper headphones offering noise canceling, albeit not gaming headsets, that seems a drawback for the price of the Stealth 700s. I also liked these headphones enough to use them as my daily headphones, but trying to work in a coffee shop without any noise cancellation can be tough. Lori Grunin/CNET The lack of noise cancellation likely helps Turtle Beach's claim that the Stealth 700 gets up to 80 hours of battery life. That's pretty impressive for a gaming headset like this. While 80 hours may be technically achievable, you'll likely never see battery life that high. For me, while gaming an average of 2 to 3 hours a day, a charge lasted about two weeks. Turtle Beach also claims it can fast charge to give you 3 hours of gaming time in about 15 minutes. Customization of the buttons and EQs takes place in the Turtle Beach Swarm II app, which also lets you adjust mic levels, chat settings and most other typical gaming adjustments. The software can be a bit confusing, even glitchy, at times though. It had trouble recognizing the 700 headset a few times, especially when connected via Bluetooth. Should you buy the Stealth 700 Gen 3? The third generation of the Stealth 700 headset is a significant upgrade from the Gen 2 and it offers quite a few more substantial features than other headsets at this price. If you're in the market for a new gaming headset, the Stealth 700 will give you just about everything you could ask for and then some... except noise canceling. Lastly, there are three versions of the Stealth 700 Gen 3. The Xbox version is compatible with every platform. The Playstation is compatible with PC and the PC versions is capable of 24-bit audio as well as being compatible with PlayStation. All versions can also connect to Bluetooth devices.

S&P To Crash 50%? Trump Calls Jerome Powell 'Dumbest'

President Donald Trump reignited his long-standing feud with Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell on Thursday, calling him "one of the dumbest, and most destructive, people in Government [sic]". The comment on social media followed the Fed's decision to hold interest rates steady, with the Federal Open Market Committee maintaining its target range at 4.25% to 4.5% - unchanged since December. Trump has been calling for lower rates, noting that the Fed was costing the country billions in interest payments. Trump's rhetoric sure does make headlines, but the real danger for investors is the Fed buckling under political pressure and cutting rates too soon. That could unleash a second wave of inflation, which might be more entrenched than the post-Covid surge. If that happens, expect a sharp reset in valuations, a spike in bond yields, and a steep correction in the S&P 500. Cutting interest rates before inflation is fully tamed risks igniting a more persistent cycle of price increases, forcing the Fed to respond later with even more aggressive hikes, just as it did in the 1970s, when inflation spiraled out of control. Back then, the Fed's delayed tightening led to stagflation and a severe equity downturn: the S&P 500 fell nearly 50% between 1972 and 1974. What's more, higher valuations today, coupled with policy uncertainty, might actually make things worse. For investors seeking upside with less volatility than individual stocks, the Trefis High Quality portfolio offers an alternative. This portfolio has outperformed the S&P 500 and delivered cumulative returns of over 91% since inception. Trump's Policies Create The Perfect Storm? This time around, there is a risk of persistent supply-side inflation driven by policy. Trump's policy agenda, which includes tariffs, mass deportations, and tax cuts, could create a perfect storm of sorts. Tariffs are a supply shock. They raise input costs and consumer prices by removing cheaper imports from the market. Mass deportations of immigrants who entered the country illegally sounds reasonable - after all, they're illegal immigrants - except that it will make cheaper labor unavailable. On average, the price of services will go up. This could be a big factor driving inflation higher. Then there are the tax cuts under Trump's Big Beautiful Bill, under which most taxpayers are expected to see a tax cut, with all income groups reportedly likely to benefit. Now, while tariffs and deportations constrain the supply of goods and services to increase prices, reduction in taxes makes more cash available to consumers. So people can spend more while prices are higher. The result would be spiking inflation, and this would make the Fed's job a lot harder. A Replay of the 1970s? The Fed will likely pull out its 2022 playbook: it'll have no choice but to increase interest rates - not just reverting some of the recent cuts, but in fact, going beyond, to rates above 6% and even 7% or higher for short-term treasuries. Now, if you can get a guaranteed 6% on a 1-year Treasury bill, or bank savings - risk-free investments - won't you demand higher earnings and returns from stocks as well? There will be an exodus - a massive outflow from the S&P and overall markets from risky equities into treasuries, CDs, and savings accounts. It happened in 2022 - within months, the S&P 500 tumbled by 20%. It's easy to forget that stocks including Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA) and Meta (NASDAQ:META) had lost more than 50% in the 2022 rate cycle alone (Can Nvidia Stock Lose 50%?). Smaller companies, with less cash on their balance sheets, fared even worse. That said, in 2022, inflation was largely transitory, and the Fed was able to bring it under control. This time, it could be entrenched. Covid-related stimulus money was a transient cause of 2022 inflation. This time, tariffs, tax cuts, and deportations, together, are likely to prove a stronger and perhaps much more persistent force. A replaying of the 1970s crisis is very much possible, taking the S&P 500 down. Higher rates don't just hurt stocks - they make U.S. debt less sustainable. Annual interest payments now already exceed $1 trillion, and JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon has called it a red flag. If bond markets start to question the government's fiscal path, yields could spike, deepening the equity selloff. On top of that, loan defaults are rising both in the commercial real estate sector and across consumer debt, like credit cards and auto loans. Big lenders like JPMorgan, BofA, and Citigroup are especially exposed. So, how much would that hurt? Well, the combined market cap of S&P 500 constituents is roughly $47 trillion. So a 50% decline in the index would mean a loss of more than $23 trillion in value. And you thought the $5 trillion-plus wipeout the benchmark index witnessed in the first few days of April 2025 was bad! How Low Can JPMorgan Stock Go In A Market Crash? A Question When things are bad, what do you expect Trump to do? Blame everyone else, or change his course on taxes, deportation, and tariffs? There's certainly hope that his cabinet and loyalists will be able to sway his view into easing inflationary policies in the event they create spiking inflation before the U.S. economy plunges into a recession. But if the easing does not materialize or comes into play too late, how bad can things get if there is another recession?

Recent Academic Research Shows Which Q2 Earnings Reports Could Have the Biggest Impact on Markets

The unofficial start of the next earnings season is still roughly a month away, but recent research out of the University of California, San Diego and Aarhus University (featuring Wall Street Horizon data) might have investors preparing differently for Q2 2025 results. The study, Warp Speed Price Moves: Jumps after Earnings Announcements, recently published in the Journal of Financial Economics, shows how efficient markets are at pricing in earnings results. The authors found that earnings reports can move stock prices in milliseconds, and not just the stock of the reporting company, but often the stocks of peers in the industry, or even entire markets as a whole.[1] The research also shows that the effect is strongest from companies that report early in the season, and for companies that report after market close. After-hours earnings announcements cause stock prices to move over 90% of the time, while significant price movements during regular trading hours or in non-announcement sessions were less common. Co-Author of the study, Allan Timmermann of UCSD's Rady School of Business commented With earnings announcements, traders deal with these every day and they are very good at gauging the impact of companies being able to meet and beat expectations or missing them. We find that it can be very costly to miss expectations - this often leads to sharp drops in prices, sometimes affecting entire sectors.[2] A good example of this occurred just last Wednesday, June 11, 2025. Oracle, one of the early reporters each earnings season, released their results for fiscal Q4 2025 (equivalent to calendar Q2 2025) after-the-bell. The mega-tech company beat Wall Street's expectations on the top and bottom-line due to strength in their cloud segment. The company also commented that AI demand would drive cloud infrastructure revenue up 70% for fiscal 2026.[3] Such bullish comments lifted the stock more than 11% after the report, and into Thursday big tech stocks also surged with the S&P 500 tech sector leading the index higher for the day. The strength of tech lifted equity markets higher on Thursday, with S&P 500 up 0.36% and the Nasdaq Composite gaining 0.21%, and Oracle closed out the week at a record high. Given this information, we took a look at the large cap names that are releasing results early in the reporting season for Q2, and after-the-bell. According to the study these could be some names to keep an eye on in the coming weeks: Source: Wall Street Horizon, Note: United Airlines is currently unconfirmed as of June 13, 2025. As the unofficial start of the Q2 earnings season draws near, the research suggests that not all earnings reports are created equal in their market-moving potential. The combination of an early reporting date and an after-hours release appears to be a potent formula for influencing not just a single stock, but entire sectors and the market as a whole. The reports from the companies listed above, among others, could therefore be critical viewing for investors looking to gauge how Q2 reports could impact markets this summer. 1 Warp Speed Price Moves: Jumps after Earnings Announcements, Journal of Financial Economics, Christensen, Kim and Timmermann, Allan and Veliyev, Bezirgen, May 2025, 2 Earnings News Cause Immediate Stock Price Jumps, Sometimes Moving Whole Market, UC San Diego Today, March 18, 2025, 3 Oracle Announces Fiscal 2025 Fourth Quarter and Fiscal Full Year Financial Results, June 11, 2025, Copyright 2025 Wall Street Horizon, Inc.
