At one point, I was resting on a hip thrust machine, letting my mind wander without auditory stimuli beaming directly into my brain - kind of nice, actually - when a woman called, "Hey, do you have a second?" and asked for advice on using the belt squat machine. I was happy to help, and we chatted for a bit before exchanging friendly goodbyes.
This year, Amazon's October Prime Day sale begins on Oct. 7 and ends Oct. 8. The annual sale will last for two days in the fall, and you can expect to see a range of deals on household goods, tech gadgets, and electronics, including laptops, PCs, and headphones. Are headphones really cheaper on Prime Day? Yes, you can find headphones at discounted prices during Prime Day.
The sound is good, the noise-cancelling is great, and the look is amazing. Isn't that enough? With headphones, I kind of want to replicate a live show. I'm sitting at my desk, cleaning the kitchen, or standing on the train, and I want that shit to rock.

Apple has taken what is arguably one its most iconic and widely acclaimed products -- the AirPods Pro 2 -- and elevated them with a significant upgrade for 2025.

Well, you can go right ahead and check off all three boxes with the Marshall Major V on-ear wireless headphones. These Bluetooth headphones are stylish as heck, produce great sound, and pretty dang affordable. They're normally listed at $160. However, Amazon has them as part of a limited time deal at the moment. They're going now for as low as 38% off which drops the price by a solid $61. You'll only be paying $99.
Bose has announced a second-generation version of its QuietComfort Ultra wireless headphones it first introduced nearly two years ago. The name is the same, but the new Ultra finally adds support for listening to lossless audio over a USB-C cable, while still carrying forward the 2.5-millimeter analog headphone jack for those who don't always want to go wireless. Available for preorder starting today through Bose's online store, the second-generation QuietComfort Ultra is priced at $449 - a small price bump over the $429 originals.
