Upgrade your workout, daily commute and general podcast listening with a pair of third-generation AirPods Pros. With active noise cancellation and transparency mode, these AirPods can let you get totally absorbed in your music or let some noise through so you can be safe while out and about.

They haven’t been lower than this price since last Prime Day, so you’d better snatch these up before they’re all gone!

Promising review: "Best ANC earbuds on the market right now and super affordable for what they do. I could baarely hear the noise of the commercial lawn mower I operate when I had music playing at around 60%, they're really comfortable, and I love how long they last because I'm a heavy earbud user. I use these mostly to listen to music and call people and the call quality is great as well as, I've been told, the mic sounds good on the other end. The design of these are super clean, as always, and they're the perfect size to carry around. They've survived my sweaty ears, light rain, and dust when I'm mowing my lawn and there's honestly no complaints that I have with these except for the fact that taking off the eartips hurts my fingers a lot. However, it is really nice how many options there are in regards to eartip sizes because my ear canals are different sizes and once you get the hang of it, you won't have any problem switching between ear tip sizes. Additionally, I have an android and it pairs perfectly. Not sure about the Apple-specific features it has which is a slight bummer, but with the noise cancellation and battery life I can't really complain. 11/10!" — Gabriel TR

If you’re looking for a new do-it-all tablet, this one from TCL may be your best buy. The Tab A1 NXTPAPER boots up Android with a 90Hz display, 6GB RAM and 128 GB of internal storage.

It comes with a stylus, so you can write notes and jot ideas as needed, and it’s powerful enough to stream and add to your workflow.

If you haven’t used an Apple Magic Mouse before, we highly suggest you upgrade your workstation and add one to your cart, and pronto.

It includes a 240W USB-C cable. These are some true savings.

This 34-inch curved monitor can really save your neck if you’re always swiveling around your work station, but it can also give you a head-up (no pun intended) with any gaming you’ve got going on. The curved angle gives you a perfect 21:9 aspect ratio for close eyes, and the built-in KVM switch lets you connect and control two sources of your monitor at once, with just one keyboard and mouse.
