Bose's Bestselling Noise-Cancelling Headphones Are $150 Off For Prime Day
These headphones are beloved by audiophiles and regular folks like myself who simply want an easy way to listen to music and podcasts or sit in blissful silence among the mayhem of a busy airport. And while they definitely require a substantial financial investment, they're well worth the commitment.The headphones feature Bose's outstanding high-fidelity audio that sounds sharply-honed and well-balanced at all volume levels. The noise-cancelling technology is as good as it gets, making it possible to drown out even the noisiest and most chaotic surroundings. They can also be controlled using a phone app and have up to 24 hours of battery life with the case. (I've worn them on flights from New York City to Sydney, Australia, without recharging them once.)My wife has owned Bose QuietComfort headphones for as long as I've known her (nearly five years), and they're still in excellent shape. Recently, she upgraded to a new pair and bestowed her old ones on me. I've been using them for about six months now and can attest to the headphones' incredible sound quality and noise-cancelling prowess.The ear cups are super plush and comfortable, making it possible to wear them on long-haul flights with ease and without having to remove my many ear piercings. I also love that these headphones have the option to be wired — they include an audio cable with a microphone so you can plug them into your screen on an airplane or an outlet when they need to be charged without having to take them off.Admittedly, this is not the first time that we at HuffPost have raved about the Bose QuietComfort headphones. Janie Campbell was also blown away by how comfy they are and how well they block out noise, pointing out that, 'They are markedly more comfortable than any earbuds I've ever worn.'You can snag your own Bose QuietComfort headphones in one of seven stylish colors to best match your personal aesthetic. Once you try these on, you'll never go back to your everyday cans. Take a look at what other happy shoppers have to say and pick up a pair for yourself.
Promising reviews:
'Love them! This is the first pair of noise-canceling headphones that I've ever owned, and I love them. Not only does the music sound great, but it drowns out the sounds around me, which comes in handy with my cat incessantly meowing in the middle of the night for me to feed her! They also have an 'aware' mode if you want to pick up certain sounds around you, like a phone call, for example. They're pretty sturdy too, so I can sleep with them on.' —DanaBarb'I've always been a Samsung guy, but got these during Black Friday. I love these headphones! Battery life is insane on these. Once you tune the settings to what you prefer, they're an excellent choice. I listen to all types of music, and they all sound great. I get the details of the song as well as the bass! I'm a convert! Bose is the way to go.' —Waukikee'Concert hall sound. I originally bought a Beats headset that was impossible to connect via Bluetooth. So I returned them and paid more and purchased the Bose QuietComfort headphones. What incredible sound quality, and so easy to use. Connects seamlessly to Bluetooth. Noise cancellation is top-notch. Perfect for any music genre as well as for listening to podcasts and audiobooks. Definitely worth the investment!' —Charles marram'Fantastic headphones! The sound quality is great. The charge lasts for a long time. They fit great and are very comfortable. I can wear them for several hours. Very happy with my purchase.' —LydiaMichelle

Retail sales climbed 0.5% in July
Americans are still opening their wallets, boosted by low unemployment and improving consumer sentiment. Spending at US retailers rose 0.5% in July, the Commerce Department said Friday. That's down from June's upwardly revised 0.9% gain, and in line with economists' expectations. Retail sales are adjusted for seasonal swings, but not inflation. Consumer sentiment plummeted in the spring as President Donald Trump carried out his erratic trade war, but Americans haven't cut back. Consumers are still powering the US economy with their spending, which contributes about 70% of economic output. Retail sales picked up across categories last month, especially at car dealerships and furniture stores, which saw sales climb 1.6% and 1.4%, respectively. Online sales jumped 0.8% in July, coinciding with Amazon's Prime Day sale. Spending also picked up at gas stations and department stores. Meanwhile, spending was down among only a handful of categories, including home improvement stores (-1%) and electronics retailers (-0.6%). Restaurants and bars also saw sales decline in July, falling 0.4% and extending an unusually weak period of sales growth. A subset of retail sales that excludes volatile categories — known as the 'control group' — rose 0.5% in July, slightly better than the 0.4% gain economists projected in a FactSet poll. That measure is seen as a better gauge of underlying consumer demand. Even after factoring in July's 0.2% monthly increase in consumer prices, according to the Consumer Price Index, retail sales were still up a healthy 0.3% last month. 'As long as consumer spending holds up and companies are able to retain workers because of that robust spending, the flywheel can continue to spin, pushing corporate profits and stock prices higher,' Chris Zaccarelli, chief investment officer at Northlight Asset Management, said in commentary issued Friday.

'Stick to the…Playbook' Amazon Stock (NASDAQ:AMZN) Gains on Familiar Prime Day Plans
It seems like we only just recovered from the last Prime Day, but online retail giant Amazon (AMZN) is already gearing up for a new Prime Day to come this October. And new reports say that this Prime Day will look a lot like the earlier ones, with a two-day format. Investors were reasonably pleased, and piled in accordingly, sending shares surging up nearly 3% in Thursday afternoon's trading. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Back in July, Amazon decided to try a longer Prime Day. But the plan did not seem to stick, as when Amazon rolls out Prime Big Deal Days this October, the two-day format will be back in play. Amazon has not officially announced this yet, but multiple reports say that the big sale will drop back to two days instead of the longer format tested in July. The official dates of the sale have also not been announced yet, but as we get closer to October, that will almost certainly be revealed. But we also know that the four-day run proved to be a success, considered '…bigger than any previous four-day period that included a Prime Day event.' However, in spite of this, other reports suggest that the sales growth for the bigger Prime Day event was '…relatively muted despite the longer timeline.' The NBA on Amazon Meanwhile, Amazon also brought out details about its planned 17-game schedule for NBA Cup action on Prime Video. Prime Video will be showing 10 NBA Cup group games, reports note, as well as the 'knockout rounds.' These will be presented as five double-header matches, running for five straight weeks, starting October 31. For those wondering about the other 50 group games, those will be making their way to a wide range of options. Disney's (DIS) ESPN will handle some of them, while Comcast's (CMCSA) NBC will take others. NBA League Pass will also be involved, and that accounts for the mix, at last report. A full schedule of all games will also be available coming up. Is Amazon a Good Long-Term Investment? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Strong Buy consensus rating on AMZN stock based on 44 Buys and one Hold assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. After a 26.45% rally in its share price over the past year, the average AMZN price target of $265.22 per share implies 14.54% upside potential.

Snag the Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 at Amazon or Samsung, and get a great deal
Samsung Galaxy Watch 8 is Samsung's latest smartwatch, and it's currently all the rage. But with a starting price of $350, it's not necessarily cheap. Luckily, right now, there are a few deals to take advantage of to soften the blow. Amazon and Samsung are offering varying deals on Samsung's latest smartwatch, but the better opportunity depends on what you're looking for. Whether you're after freebies or a straight-up discount, these offers can get you more bang for your buck. Amazon doesn't have a direct discount on the Watch 8. The watch is full price, but the retailer is throwing in not one, not two, but four free Samsung SmartTag 2 trackers. These trackers normally cost up to $100 for a four-pack, with a single one costing up to $30. If you already know you want a few SmartTags to keep track of your items, like your phone or keys, this is a great option, since you'll get $100 worth for free. There are no additional steps needed; this is a bundle offer from Amazon. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. Samsung decided to switch things up a bit. The company is offering a direct $50 off the watch, reducing the Watch 8 to just $300. Plus, they're also throwing in a free extra watch band. To ensure you get the $50 discount and the free band, be sure to click "No trade-in" and manually select the band under the "Make your Galaxy epic with an exclusive" section. But that's not all. Samsung is also throwing in a $50 credit with your purchase. The only catch is that you must use this credit immediately on an accessory, like a SmartTag or earbuds. Why this deal matters The Galaxy Watch 8 was just released at the end of July, not even a month ago. And we're already seeing great discounts not from Samsung and Amazon, too. With direct discounts and freebies, the better deal depends on what you want. Amazon might be the better offer if multiple SmartTags are appealing. But if you'd prefer a little more variety, Samsung is offering a direct discount, an extra band and an accessories credit. But there's no denying that both deals are noteworthy.
