Our top pick

Sony’s WH-1000XM5 headphoness truly knock it out of the park, earning a nearly perfect score upon testing. However, they’re really only a slight upgrade over the previous generation, the WH-1000XM4s, and will run you nearly $150 more. The WH-1000XM4 headphones earned the Best of the Year badge of honor in 2020, as well as an Editor’s Choice award from our friends at PCMag (which is owned by Mashable’s publisher, Ziff Davis). They credit the top-notch noise cancellation and audiophile-friendly sound quality for their 4.5-star rating. They’re usually $348, but as of Aug. 13, you can pick up these fantastic headphones for only $198 — that’s a new record-low price.


Amazon 55-inch Omni QLED Fire TV

$449.99
at Amazon

$599.99
Save $150.00



If you’ve had your eye on Samsung’s The Frame TV, but can’t swing the price, Amazon’s Omni QLED Fire TV is a solid dupe. It offers an “Ambient Experience” mode that pulls up artwork, photos from your personal collection, or a selection of handy Alexa widgets. Plus, the QLED display offers local dimming, adaptive brightness, and support for Dolby Vision IQ and HDR10+ Adaptive. It’s easily the best-looking Fire TV with more lifelike color, bolder contrast, and better clarity. The 55-inch model typically goes for $599.99, but you can snag it on sale for only $449.99 as of Aug. 13. While it may not be a record-low, it’s still 25% in savings and currently cheaper than the 50-inch model.

Got a camping trip coming up? Upgrade your sleeping setup with this Coleman Calrsbad Dark Room six-person camping tent. It’s quick and easy to setup, can fit two queen-size air mattresses, and features dark room technology that reduces heat and blocks out 90 percent of sunlight for more comfortable rest. It’s typically $349.99, but you can save 52% and snag it on sale for only $167.30. That’s currently cheaper than the four-person option.


Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ (64GB)

$169.99
at Amazon

$219.99
Save $50.00



While it may not be as fancy or impressive as the Galaxy Tab S9 lineup, the A9+ is still a reliable tablet that can handle basic tasks proficiently without breaking the bank. Not everyone needs a tablet that competes with their computer. Our sibling site PCMag called it the “best low-cost Android tablet you can buy,” noting that it checks off all the boxes a low-cost tablet should. The A9+ features an 11-inch screen, quad speakers powered by Dolby Atmos, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor, and expandable storage up to 1TB. The 64GB option is already priced at an affordable $219.99, but you can get it for only $169.99 as of Aug. 13. That’s just $10 shy of its lowest price on record.
