Best Tech Deals

A great deal on our favorite Android phone

The Google Pixel 10a is our favorite Android phone overall, partly because it’s cheap. The low price comes with a ton of value, from great performance and powerful cameras to years of software and security updates.

The best price for a budget speaker

The JBL Go 5 is our most budget-friendly Bluetooth speaker. It comes in 10 different colors, most of which match the best price we’ve seen. It’s durable, lightweight, and sounds great for its size.

A solid discount on workout headphones

We see this deal pretty regularly for our favorite workout headphones, but they’re only about $20 less, so it’s still a solid option if you’re in the market. The Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 work well with iOS and Android, sound punchy, and offer both transparency mode and active noise cancellation.

The best cheap Android headphones

The Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 remain our best earbuds for Android users (they also work with iOS). They are aesthetically pleasing. They sound good. They’re comfortable, have long battery life, active noise cancellation, and some useful software features. If you want good headphones that aren’t AirPods, these might be right for you.
