Luckily, many of Sony’s top products are discounted right now, and we’ve collected today’s best deals below.
Sony Noise-Canceling Wireless Earbuds | $189
Sony’s competitor to Apple’s AirPods Pro might not be as slim or sleek, but they’re super comfortable, sound great, and have excellent noise-canceling capabilities: “The digital noise canceling in this model is simply the best I’ve encountered in any truly wireless earbuds,” wrote Gizmodo’s Adam Clark Estes in his review last summer.
The Sony WF-1000XM3 Wireless Earbuds are $41 off the normal price right now, putting a wide enough gulf between them and Apple’s alternative to maybe make your decision a little easier.

During this time of social distancing, video games are one of our greatest escapes. And if you don’t have a modern game console, now’s the time to invest—you’re sure to get a lot out of it in the coming weeks and months.

This Amazon renewed model is just $190, but that’s just for the headset. You’ll need a PlayStation 4 console to use it, plus a PlayStation Camera ($50) to track the headset in use. Some games also require the PlayStation Move motion controllers, but not all; you can always add those later.
