Verizon has kicked off yet another flash sale on the AirPods Pro, which sees them back on sale for only $220 — down $30 from the usual $250. You will need to act fast, though: As we’ve seen twice before, Big Red doesn’t keep these discounts around long, so best start punching in your credit card number right away if you don’t want to miss out on your chance to take the best true wireless earbuds for iPhone home on the cheap this side of Father’s Day.
What’s the difference between the AirPods Pro and the more affordable AirPods with Wireless Charging Case, you ask? In addition to measuring in shorter, they’re sweat-resistant — making them the ideal companion for a long workout — are armed with Active Noise-Canceling (ANC), and come with interchangeable silicone ear tips that both make them a pleasure to wear for extended durations and creates a seal for ANC to work its magic.
Apple made several tweaks to improve the sound as well, headlined by the addition of Adaptive EQ — a software tweak that tunes the low- and mid-frequencies of the music to the shape of the listener’s ear. It’s all of this combined that makes the AirPods Pro the most advanced AirPods the company has released to date, and this deal an absolute no-brainer. (You don’t need us to tell you that discounts on the latest Apple hardware are rare.)

The company has launched a dedicated Instagram app for Apple TV, bringing Reels, longer videos, and live shows to the big screen. So, if watching one quick clip on a phone somehow turns into an hour of scrolling, there's now a much larger screen for that.

Audio-Technica, a brand well known for making some of the best studio and professional headphones on the market, has just come out with the ATH-AWX7000, which the company itself claims to be its "finest headphones ever." The new flagship closed-back headphone has debuted at an eye-watering price of $3,799. It combines hand-finished Japanese woodwork with a newly developed 58mm driver.
The earcups are made from Kiso cypress, a prized wood historically used for Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples. Each housing is finished by hand with traditional Echizen lacquer, which brings out the grain and is expected to darken over time. The frame and sliders are finished in a deep navy kachi-iro shade traditionally associated with samurai.
