Save $35 on Samsung’s kidney bean

I hate that we have to compare all true wireless earbuds to Apple’s AirPods, but in this case the comparison really is apt. Samsung’s noise-canceling Galaxy Buds Live are clearly going toe-to-toe with the AirPods Pro. Priced at $170, they’re significantly cheaper than the AirPods Pro’s $250 price tag. And right now that fraction is …

Friday deal roundup: New Amazon Echo discounts, a big Chromebook sale and more

Cheeps, I’m increasingly frustrated with coupons and promo codes that disappear or stop working — as I’m sure you are. I’m working with Amazon sellers to try to prevent this from happening so often.

These Mpow wireless sport earphones are on sale for just $11 (Update: Expired)

True wireless earbuds are all the rage these days, but some aren’t great for exercise. They can fall out of your ears or get knocked loose, sending them flying. And they have to be held or pocketed when you take them out; there’s no place for them to just hang. For those reasons and more, I sometimes prefer old-school “regular …

The Apple Watch SE and Series 6 are already on sale at Amazon

Well, that didn’t take long. Various Apple Watch models routinely go on sale at Amazon (and other stores), like the perpetually discounted Series 3 for $169, but I didn’t think we’d see the latest ones get reduced so soon. I thought wrong. For a limited time, and while supplies last, Amazon has the Apple Watch Series 6 (40mm GPS) for …
