With clipped on-page coupon

It won't come as much of a surprise that most earbuds priced under $50 are junk. They’re uncomfortable, cheaply constructed, and terrible sounding. But the 1More Piston Fit BT set defied our assumptions of what inexpensive Bluetooth earbuds could be. These neckband-style wireless earbuds offer balanced, clear sound, feel sturdy, and come with four sizes of ear tips so everyone can get a secure and comfortable fit.

Deal price: $100 | Street price: $130

The Anova Precision Cooker Nano is the best option for most home cooks interested in experimenting with sous vide cooking. The Nano is accurate, affordable, relatively compact, and has an intuitive touchscreen interface.

Blue Yeti USB Microphone

Deal price: $100 | Street price: $125

The Yeti records some of the best-sounding vocals, and it’s a versatile, solidly built mic that will stand up to years of use.
