Find more peace during workouts with TaoTronics waterproof earbuds. For under $20, you get over 6 hours of battery life, a cVc 6.0 Noise Cancelling Microphone, and more. It’s basically a no-brainer to pick these up to keep in your gym bag or in the office, just in case.



ADATA 960GB SSD | $149 | Rakuten | Promo code AD26
Graphic: Shep McAllister

We’ve posted a lot of SSD deals around these parts, but I’m pretty confident this is the first time we’ve seen a ~1TB drive fall below $150. It’s not the fastest drive you can buy, but it’ll still be a massive improvement over any mechanical hard drive. Just be sure to use promo code AD26 at checkout (must be signed in) to get the deal.



TP-Link N300 WiFi Range Extender | $18 | Amazon
Photo: Amazon

This isn’t the fastest Wi-Fi range extender around, but if there’s just one corner of your house that doesn’t get a strong signal, it could be all you need for just $18.



iClever Lightweight Bluetooth Earbuds | $13 | Amazon | Promo code ICEBTH20
Photo: Amazon

If most Bluetooth earbuds ar too large or heavy to stay comfortably in your ears, iClever’s lightest Bluetooth headphones are worth a look. The earbuds themselves weigh less than half an ounce each, and having tried them myself, they’re just as light and comfortable as any wired headphones I’ve ever used. Get a pair for just $13 today with promo code ICEBTH20. Even if you already have a pair that you like, at that price, it might be worth grabbing a spare set for your luggage or gym bag.



Suaoki 444KWh Electric Generator | $300 | Amazon | Promo code 6KN4ZLE8
Graphic: Shep McAllister

If you want to power devices like TVs and mini-fridges while you’re out at a tailgate, your only real option until recently has been a noisy, gas-guzzling generator. But the proliferation of affordable lithium batteries and solar panels is threatening to change that, as evidenced by this Suaoki battery.

This electric “generator” features a 444 Wh battery that can recharge a smartphone dozens of times, a laptop 3-6 times, a TV for several hours, and a lot more. If it draws less than 300W, you can plug it in here.

When it comes time to recharge, you can charge it from any AC outlet, from your car’s power outlet, or go completely off the grid with solar panels (not included). It wouldn’t be ideal for weeklong camping trips or extended power outages at home, but it might be just enough power for a tailgate or barbecue, and you can save $60 right now with promo code 6KN4ZLE8.



RAVPower 25000mAh Outdoor Solar Battery Pack | $40 | Amazon | Use code KINJA6DD
Photo: Amazon

$40 is really not a bad price for a 25,000mAh battery pack from a reputable manufacturer like RAVPower, but it’s especially noteworthy for one with USB-C (not Power Delivery, sadly) and a freakin’ solar panel on one face to help top it off while you’re off the grid. Save $13 on it today with promo code KINJA6DD.



EVGA GeForce 1060 3GB Graphics Card | $230 | Amazon
Graphic: Shep McAllister

If you have a small PC case and/or a small budget, but still want to play new PC games at reasonably good settings, the NVIDIA GTX 1060 is the graphics card for you. Get EVGA’s 3GB version for $230 right now, which is the best price we’ve seen all year, though it was cheaper last year before the great crypto-shortage took full effect.



Mpow Bluetooth Headphone Battery Case | $10 | Amazon | Promo code D4MFIU79
Graphic: Shep McAllister

The advent of inexpensive Bluetooth headphones has been a net positive, but there’s no getting around it: They’re a pain in the ass to charge.

Advertisement

Luckily, Mpow’s new headphone carrying case includes a built-in 800mAh battery and microUSB cable, so you can recharge your earbuds while simultaneously keeping them from getting lost or tangled in your bag. Yeah, you’ll still need to recharge the case, but this definitely makes Bluetooth earbuds a simpler option while traveling.



Aukey 30,000mAh USB-C Power Delivery Battery Pack | $56 | Amazon | Promo code AUKEYPY7
Graphic: Shep McAllister

There are precious few battery packs out there with USB-C power delivery, and this 30,000mAh model from Aukey is offers some of the best bang for the buck that we’ve seen.

Advertisement

In addition to the two standard USB output ports, the USB-C port works as both an input and high-speed output port that can charge a 12″ MacBook at full speed, or raise your Nintendo Switch’s battery level while playing it at full brightness. It’s pretty huge, but 30,000mAh should be enough juice to get you through even the longest flights. Just be sure to use promo code AUKEYPY7 at checkout to get it for $56.



25% off DubsLabs Bedphones | DubsLabs | Promo code KINJA25
Graphic: Shep McAllister

You like falling asleep listening to podcasts or white noise, but your partner doesn’t. How do you deal? DubsLabs Bedphones are extremely thin and wrapped in soft padding, making them ideal for falling asleep while wearing.

For a limited time, you can save 25% on both the wired (regularly $60) and wireless (regularly $100) models with our exclusive KINJA25 promo code.



Sceptre 75″ 4K TV | $900 | Walmart | +$20 shipping, or free if you pick it up from a store
Graphic: Shep McAllister

If size trumps features in your hierarchy of new TV needs, Walmart’s running a pretty fantastic deal for you today.

Advertisement

This 75″ Sceptre is the barest of barebones sets. While it does have 4K support, it lacks HDR, and even built-in smart apps. But you can always plug a 4K-compatible streaming dongle into one of its four HDMI ports for the same effect. And at just $900 (plus $20 if you get it shipped, rather than picking up from a store), it’s one of the cheapest 75″ sets we’ve ever seen.



North Bayou Articulating Monitor Arm | $20 | Amazon
Graphic: Shep McAllister

You aren’t getting the most out of your computer monitor until you put it on a fully articulating and rotating arm. This one from North Bayou can hold monitors up to 27″, and even includes cable routing and a USB hub on the base that can be easier to reach than the USB ports on the back of your display. At $20, it’s an absolute steal.



Apple Watch Series 1 38mm | $149 | Walmart

Apple Watch Series 1 42mm | $179 | Walmart
Photo: Gizmodo

It’s not one of the high-end models with GPS or LTE, but $149 for a 38mm Apple Watch Series 1 (or $179 for the 42mm) is one of the best deals we’ve ever seen on Apple’s increasingly popular wearable.

Advertisement

Somewhat confusingly, the Series 1 is not quite the same as the original Apple Watch, as it has a second generation chip for faster performance. It’ll also be getting WatchOS 5 in the fall, which includes fitness improvements, customizable Siri shortcuts, and most importantly of all, walkie-talkie mode.



Hisense 55″ 4K Smart TV | $320 | Walmart
Graphic: Shep McAllister

You’d expect a $320 TV to be stripped of basically all features, but this 55″ set from Hisense actually has smart apps, HDR support (though not Dolby Vision, sorry), and yes, even 4K resolution. It’s obviously not the best TV you can buy, but it’s a hell of a bargain if you’re in the market.



Humble Cyber Security Bundle
Screenshot: Humble

Humble’s newest bundle eschews games in favor of cyber security software. As usual, the contents are split among three different tiers, but the $15 top tier has some really great stuff, including a year of Dashlane Premium password management software and a year of Private Internet Access, our readers’ favorite VPN. Both of those are only valid for new users, but either one on its own would be a stellar discount.

You can also try PIA for a month for just $1 through this bundle, and if you’re ready to commit, get three years of the service for $90 with our exclusive discount. They don’t offer that price to the general public.

Sony’s PS4 Pro E3 discounts went live a few days ago, and Microsoft has finally followed suit with $50 discounts on a variety of consoles, including the first “official” discount ever on the Xbox One X (though we have seen other savings opportunities on it before).
