We’re flush with great options for noise-canceling headphones that sound good, but if you care most about sound quality (without spending pricey audiophile money) a great choice is the Bowers and Wilkins PX7 S2e — which are on sale for $279 ($120 off) in all five color options at Amazon, Best Buy, and direct from Bowers and Wilkins.

The PX7 S2e may not have the most charming sounding name, but they do have a clean design and warm, detailed sound that even competes with the much pricier AirPods Max. In addition to sounding excellent and offering niceties like a transparency mode, they favor proper physical buttons and a proper on / off switch over the touch controls found on some other headphones like Sony’s WH-1000XM5. Their 30 hours of battery life is nothing exemplary but more than adequate, and while they lack a 3.5mm jack you can still listen wired for even higher quality audio via USB-C.

More deals? Sure, why not more deals?

Best Buy just launched an early Black Friday sale that include some “doorbuster” deals running only through the weekend. One of such deals is the LG UltraGear 45-inch curved OLED QHD gaming monitor for $999.99 ($700 off). The model 45GS96QB-B monitor may not be 4K, but its 3440 x 1400 resolution is still quite high and in addition to deep, contrasty blacks rendered by its OLED panel it can reach a super-speedy 240Hz refresh rate.
The iRobot Roomba j9 Plus is on sale for $574 ($325 off) at Wellbots when you use promo code VERGEBF325 at checkout through November 16th. The j9 is a former flagship model from a few years back that’s still formidable thanks to its great suction, obstacle avoidance / home mapping software with keep-out zones, and included auto-emptying station.
The Beats Solo Buds in atomic purple are down to just $49.99 ($30 off) at Target. These super affordable earbuds lack noise cancellation, but at their low price they still include multiple silicone ear tips to ensure good passive noise isolation. Plus, have you seen how compact and adorable its little charging case is?
Elgato’s Stream Deck Neo is selling for $84.99 ($15 off) at Target and Best Buy. The more cost-effective Stream Deck comes in a clean white look and features eight programmable LCD keys for supporting your livestreams or everyday productivity. You can myriad more functions into it, though, as the touch buttons besides its display showing the time and date can page through more functions.
