Featured deal: Save 40% on mid-range earbuds

Many of us lose our earbuds so often that we don’t want to splurge too much each time we get new ones, which means the mid-range options are a great place to look. We’ve spotted that three pairs of earbuds that normally fetch $100 per pair are all down to $59.99 ($40 off) right now.

1More announced their line of ComfoBuds at CES 2021, with the standard model rolled out at the time and the ComfoBuds Pro following later in the year. This upgraded version of the ‘buds just hit their best ever price of only $59.99 ($40 off) — making them as affordable as the originals.

Wired headphone deals

If you want the best possible sound quality and you don’t mind the cord, wired headphones are the only way to go. Here are some of the top wired headphone deals we could find:

Sony Extra Bass Earbuds for $30 ($20 off)
