The Beats Studio Buds+ are only $100 this week — 41% off!
Wireless earbuds are all the rage in 2025, and we here at Digital Trends are always on the lookout for the best deals on these class-leading in-ear pairs. And this week, the spotlight goes to the incredible Beats Studio Buds+. Right now, you'll be able to score these fantastic buds for only $100, which is a $70 markdown from its original $170 price. Why you should buy the Beats Studio Buds+ We tested the Beats Studio Buds+ back in 2023, and reviewer Simon Cohen said, 'Solid improvements make the Buds+ worth the extra $20.' The Beats Studio Buds+ are the kind of noise-canceling earbuds you'll be proud to call your everyday wear. With an IPX4 rating for moisture resistance, the Studio Buds+ are the perfect audio accessory to take to the gym or on an outdoor run. One of our big takeaways when we tested these buds was how comfortable they are for long wear sessions. Out of the box, the Studio Buds+ sound full and balanced, but there's a little extra low-end to bring home that iconic Beats bass! While we wish the Beats app had one or two audio presets to switch between, we think most folks will be pleased with the default sound. We were also impressed by how effectively these buds drowned out environmental noise. On a full charge, you'll get up to 7.5 hours of battery life with ANC enabled, and the case stores three extra charges. We're not sure when these earbuds will go on sale again, so today might be the best and last day to save. Take $70 off the Beats Studio Buds+ when you purchase right now. We also recommend taking a look at our lists of the best Beats headphone deals, best headphone deals, and best Bose headphone deals.

Why you should buy the Sony WH-1000XM5 We tested the Sony XM5 headphones back in 2023, and in a recent update to his official review, audio expert Simon Cohen said, 'Now three years old, Sony's best headphones are still a force to be reckoned with.' When it comes to all-around premium, it's hard to beat the many wins of the Sony WH-1000XM5. These flagship over-ears are very comfortable for longer wear sessions, and the minimalist, classy casing will always guarantee these are the best-looking headphones in the room. In terms of performance, you can expect big things from these Sony headphones. The warm and bass-forward sound profile sounds great across multiple music genres and podcasts, but you'll also be able to download the Sony Sound Connect app to change audio presets or create your own listening profile for a more customized experience. The XM5 headphones deliver incredible noise-canceling too, eliminating all but the peskiest and most sudden of environmental sounds. You can also expect up to 30 hours of battery life with ANC enabled, and a whopping 40 hours of playback with ANC disabled. Save $50 on the Sony WH-1000XM5 Wireless Headphones when you purchase today.

The best noise-canceling headphones have a $50 discount this week
When it comes to premium noise-canceling headphones and earbuds, one brand we're consistently impressed with is Bose. For years, the Big B has produced some of the most comfortable and best-sounding ANC devices, so you can imagine our thrill when we discovered one of the top Bose products is on sale this week: Right now, when you purchase the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones at Amazon or Best Buy, you'll only pay $380. The full MSRP for the QC Ultra cans is $380, which is a $50 markdown from the $430 MSRP. Why you should buy the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones We tested the Bose QC Ultra back in April 2024, and reviewer Simon Cohen said, 'Noise cancellation and spatial audio have a new king, and it is the Bose QuietComfort Ultra.' Simon went on to praise the QC Ultra for the premium material used, hi-res compatibility, and top-shelf ANC performance. As far as sound quality goes, the Bose QC Ultra deliver warm and mass market-friendly default audio, though you'll be able to pop into the Bose app to change presets or create a custom EQ that best aligns with your listening needs. You'll also get up to 24 hours of battery life on a full charge, and it only takes just shy of 2.5 hours to recharge from zero. We were also impressed by the headphones' ability to render clear and full-bodied voices during phone calls and recordings. It's not perfect by any means, but it's far better than much of the call audio offered by the competition. Save $50 on the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones when you purchase today.

Featuring a lightweight design with multiple ear tip sizes to choose from, the Studio Buds are also comfortable to wear for hours at a time and will last up to 5 hours on a full charge (with an extra 10 hours of playback provided by a topped-off case). The Studio Buds are even IPX4-rated, making them a decent choice for the gym or a run.

You'll also be able to download the Beats app to customize the name of your buds and program the long-press command to either summon a voice assistant or switch ANC modes. While we wish we could say $100 was the new permanent price of the Beats Studio Buds, the reality is that these in-ears will probably go back to $150 soon. So, we recommend buying ASAP.

We gave the Sennheiser Ambeo soundbar a 9 out of 10 — it's $500 off today
This article contains affiliate links; if you click such a link and make a purchase, Digital Trends and Yahoo Inc. may earn a commission. It wasn't long ago that anyone looking to experience home theater surround sound would have to invest in an AV receiver, speakers, and a bunch of wires to get a system up and running. Thankfully, 2025 brings a present-day packed with soundbar options, and many of these devices can virtualize an entire Dolby Atmos configuration! As a matter of fact, one of these bars is on sale today: For a limited time, when you purchase the Sennheiser Ambeo Soundbar Plus at Amazon, Best Buy, Crutchfield, and a handful of other retailers, you'll only pay $1,000. The full MSRP on this model is $1,500. We tested this soundbar back in October 2023 and reviewer Simon Cohen had this to say about it: 'With virtualized Dolby Atmos this good, who needs more speakers?' Buy at Amazon Buy at Best Buy Buy at Crutchfield Sennheiser's industry-lauded audio engineering is on full display with the Ambeo Soundbar Plus, a premium soundbar with four main drivers, a dedicated center channel, two up-firing speakers, and a built-in subwoofer. When wired to your TV via HDMI eARC, any AV component (including the TV's built-in apps) will send audio to the Ambeo Soundbar Plus, and the bar supports up to Dolby Atmos and DTS:X through this HDMI 2.0a connection. You can also connect devices to the Ambeo's two HDMI inputs, and can link up to four wireless Ambeo subs or one wired sub via LFE. When it comes to sound quality, the Ambeo Soundbar Plus is going to blow you away. Expect warm and kinetic bass and solid articulation for treble and midrange frequencies. The surround sound virtualization doesn't quite hit complete Dolby Atmos levels, but it's a convincing emulation nonetheless. You'll also be able to customize audio settings and perform a room calibration using the Sennheiser app. The soundbar also supports Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, so you'll be able to stream music from services like Spotify. The Ambeo even features built-in Alexa and Google Assistant capabilities! We're not sure how long this discount is going to stick around, but soundbar deals like this one tend to come and go rather quickly. That being said, now might be the best (and last) day to save. Take $500 off the Sennheiser Ambeo Soundbar Plus when you purchase today. We also suggest taking a look at our lists of the best Amazon deals and top Best Buy deals for even more markdowns on top soundbars! Buy at Amazon Buy at Best Buy Buy at Crutchfield
