Best Apple deal
Why we picked this
"The second-generation AirPods Pro offer top-tier sound quality, excellent noise cancellation, and a battery life of about seven hours per charge. They're our current favorite earbuds for Apple users, though that may soon change once we finish testing the newer AirPods Pro 3, which have a different design and five swappable ear tips (up from three), even better active noise cancellation, Live Translation, and extra health features. They're a pretty significant upgrade on paper, but if price is your biggest concern, the AirPods Pro 2 are $79 cheaper for the time being." — Haley Henschel, Senior Shopping Reporter

Best headphones and earbuds deal
Why we picked this
"In the lead up to Amazon's October Prime Day, we're looking across categories for the best early savings. One of our favorite categories — headphones and earbuds — is looking a little sparse when it comes to deals, but that's not to say that there are no good early deals. We've found a few great ones.
Ahead of Prime Day, find the Beats Studio Buds for 47% off. That saves you $70 off its typical $149.95 MSRP. The Beats Studio Buds deliver well-balanced sound and active noise cancellation in a small package. Plus, like AirPods, they have easy connectivity to iOS systems, but unlike AirPods, they're also well-suited for Android users." — Samantha Mangino, Shopping Reporter

Best laptop deal
Why we like it
"The 13.8-inch Surface Laptop 7 with a Snapdragon X Elite chip is our favorite Windows laptop for most people. It's beautiful, it's about as fast as an M4 MacBook Air, and it lasts for nearly 23 hours on a single charge — that's two longer than the M4 Pro-powered MacBook Pro, the longest-lasting MacBook we've tried. (Before you buy it, just double-check that its powerful ARM-based CPU is compatible with your go-to apps.) The black variant with 16GB of memory and 512GB of storage is marked down to $972 ahead of Prime Big Deal Days, which is a 31% discount on its $1,399.99 MSRP. It very briefly fell to $918.47 in late September, but this current offer beats its Prime Day deal in July." — Haley Henschel, Senior Shopping Reporter

Best TV deal
Why we picked this
"The most affordable 65-inch QLED TV we're seeing so far is the same one that was the cheapest 65-inch during Prime Day over the summer — but it's even cheaper now. Snag Insignia's QF Series QLED for $299.99 versus $329.99 in July.
If you've never had a QLED TV before, this XL Insignia model is a great low-stakes opportunity to upgrade. Customers in the reviews seem to be more than satisfied with its picture quality and color vibrancy for the price. As a budget QLED, you can't expect this model to stunt in HDR like a premium Samsung QLED would. But compared to your old LED TV, you'll quickly see the difference those quantum dots are making — they'll especially pop when watching football in the daytime." — Leah Stodart, Senior Shopping Reporter
