We’re kicking off the week here at The Verge Deals<\/em> with a pair of solid discounts on Sony earbuds. First off, Amazon is currently offering the first-ever discount on the Sony LinkBuds. Normally available for $ 179.99, you can currently get a pair for $ 158 at Amazon. This isn’t a massive <\/em>discount, but it’s the lowest price we’ve seen yet for these unique earbuds. <\/p>\n

The Sony LinkBuds are a clear departure from conventional earbuds, using an \u201copen-style\u201d donut-shaped design instead of the more typical silicone ear tips. This allows for better spatial awareness and, for some people, a more comfortable fit. And the LinkBuds provide crisp sound quality and excellent voice call performance. Though, as a result of their design, they aren’t very practical in louder environments. Possibly the coolest feature, though, are the controls, which allow you to tap the side of your head to control them instead of the earbud itself. Read our review<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Sony’s LinkBuds have a standout design that’s rooted in comfort and an airy, open sound. They also excel when used for voice calls, outshining pretty much all competitors.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

However, if you’re in the market for something a little more conventional (with active noise cancellation, to boot), Amazon is also offering the Sony WF-1000XM4 noise-canceling earbuds for $ 228 instead of their usual $ 279.99. <\/p>\n

The WF-1000XM4 earbuds are the latest model of Sony’s noise-canceling earbuds and are currently our favorite pair of wireless earbuds that you can currently buy. These earbuds improve on their predecessor in nearly every way, providing excellent sound and noise-cancellation, in addition to having some of the longest battery life among all the wireless earbuds we’ve tested. While the absence of multipoint Bluetooth support is a disappointment, we still consider the WF-1000XM4 a worthy consideration for anyone in the market for a pair of excellent noise-canceling earbuds.

Sony’s WF-1000XM4 have the best noise cancellation of any true wireless earbuds, and the sound quality is second to none. The earbuds can also now be charged wirelessly and have a new design that’s smaller and rated IPX4.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The 44mm configuration of the Apple Watch SE normally costs $ 309 but is currently on sale at Amazon for $ 229. The GPS and Wi-Fi-ready model of this smartwatch is an excellent device that incorporates many of the Apple Watch Series 6’s features but at a more affordable price point. Note that this particular discount only applies to the silver aluminum watch that includes a blue sport band, but you can always swap out the band later.<\/p>\n

The SE largely does what you expect from an Apple-branded smartwatch. It’s capable of delivering notifications, using Apple Pay for contactless payments, and keeping track of fitness stats, in addition to several other functions. But to keep a more accessible price point, the SE cuts some of the features included in the Series 6 and 7, including an always-on display, as well as ECG and blood oxygen monitoring. While it may lack those higher-end features, the SE handles the basics remarkably well, thanks to its swift performance. Read our review<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Apple’s midrange wearable, the Apple Watch SE, serves as a step up from the Series 3, with features and a design similar to the last-gen Series 6. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Right now, you can still snag a free 128GB microSD card when you buy a one-year family subscription to Nintendo Switch Online at Best Buy. This bundle costs just $ 34.99 compared to its combined value of around $ 103, making this a great deal for new Switch owners or really anyone that could just use an extra microSD card. A 128GB microSD card usually costs around $ 34.99 by itself, so this is a good value just about any way you cut it.<\/p>\n

Much like the individual subscription to Nintendo Switch Online, the family membership grants access to the online features used for a number of games, including Splatoon 2<\/em> and Mario Kart 8<\/em>. It also allows you to access a growing library of classic games for the NES and SNES on the Nintendo Switch. One final perk to this membership is being able to use cloud storage for all of your save games, ensuring you always have your most recent data on hand.<\/p>\n

The key difference with the family plan is the ability to share your login credentials with up to eight other members with their own Nintendo Online accounts, regardless if they’re all tied to the same console or not.<\/p>\n
