Our Top Picks
Sony’s WH-1000XM5 headphones received near perfect scores in our tests and are truly great headphones. But they’re really just a slight upgrade from the previous generation WH-1000XM4s, which cost about $150 more. The WH-1000XM4 headphones earned our Best of the Year badge of honor in 2020 and received an Editors’ Choice award from our friends at PCMag (owned by Ziff Davis, the publisher of Mashable). They believe that the top-notch noise cancellation and audiophile-friendly sound quality led to their 4.5-star rating. Normally $348, as of August 13, you can get these great headphones for just $198, a new record low price.
If you’ve had your eye on Samsung’s The Frame TV but found the price prohibitive, Amazon’s Omni QLED Fire TV is a solid alternative. The TV has an “Ambient Experience” mode that displays artwork, photos from your personal collection, or a selection of handy Alexa widgets. Additionally, the QLED display offers local dimming, adaptive brightness, and support for Dolby Vision IQ and HDR10+ Adaptive. With more realistic colors, bolder contrast, and sharper images, it’s definitely the best-looking TV in the Fire TV line. The 55-inch model is normally $599.99, but as of August 13, you can get it on sale for $449.99. It may not be the lowest price ever, but it still saves you 25% and is currently cheaper than the 50-inch model.
Planning a camping trip? Upgrade your sleeping arrangement with the Coleman Calsbad Darkroom 6-Person Camping Tent. It’s quick and easy to set up, fits two queen-size air mattresses, and features Darkroom Technology that reduces heat and blocks 90% of sunlight for a more comfortable rest. Normally priced at $349.99, you can get it on sale for 52% off at $167.30, which is currently cheaper than the 4-person option.

While it may not be as flashy and impressive as the Galaxy Tab S9 lineup, the A9+ is a reliable tablet that gets the basic tasks done well without breaking the bank. Not everyone needs a tablet that rivals a computer. Our sister site PCMag called it “the best budget Android tablet you can buy,” noting that it checks off all the boxes for a budget tablet. The A9+ has an 11-inch screen, four speakers with Dolby Atmos, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 processor, and expandable storage up to 1TB. The 64GB option is already reasonably priced at $219.99, but as of August 13, you can get it for just $169.99. That’s just $10 off the lowest price ever.
