Pick up a recommended pair of Anker noise-canceling headphones for $60
Ars Technica

Today’s Dealmaster is headlined by a new low price on Anker’s Soundcore Life Q30 headphones, which are currently down to $60 on Amazon when you clip the on-page coupon. Typically, these wireless noise-canceling headphones retail for $80.

While we haven’t formally reviewed the Soundcore Life Q30s on Ars, we have tested them and found them to be a rare value among sub-$100 wireless headphones. In short, the Q30s serve up a lightweight and well-padded design, with tremendous battery life that pushes 40 hours per charge, multidevice pairing, and USB-C charging.

Don’t expect the noise-canceling strength of Sony’s WH-1000XM4, but what’s here is still effective for the price and plenty capable of reducing a good chunk of external noise, particularly low-end sounds like jet or bus engines. Along those lines, the Q30s’ bass-heavy sound won’t be for everyone, but Anker makes it possible to tinker with the sound profile through a dedicated app. Anker recently launched a successor to this pair called the Soundcore Life Q35, promising better mic performance and wider Bluetooth codec support, but the headphones currently retail for $130. If you’re looking to stay well under $100, the Q30 remains an excellent value.

If you don’t need another set of headphones, though, our deals roundup also has good prices on Logitech mice and keyboards, PlayStation games and services, Razer accessories, LG OLED TVs, and more. You can check out the full list below.
