WIRED Featured Tech Deals
Apple's Best Earbuds
The flagship Apple AirPods Pro 3 are its best wireless earbuds. Music sounds fantastic on these buds; they offer the best noise cancellation around and deliver excellent call quality. Apple added more ear tips for a better fit for small ears, new tools like heart rate sensing and live translation, and enhanced support for folks with hearing loss. If you use an iPhone, these are the wireless earbuds for you, and I've never seen them cheaper than this.
Google's Great Smartphone
Packed with Google’s latest artificial intelligence features and one of the best camera systems available, the Pixel 10 might be the best Android phone for most folks right now.

Its bigger siblings offer slight improvements, but won’t justify the extra expense for most people, especially when the Pixel 10 is discounted like this.
LG's Stunning OLED TV
Home cinephiles willing to drop some cash for one of the best TVs this year will struggle to find a better option than the LG C5. It boasts perfect contrast, fantastic highlights, and vibrant color, and gets bright enough for well-lit rooms. It supports a 144-Hz refresh rate and Nvidia G-Sync for gamers, and there’s Dolby Vision for movie fans. We also love the LG Magic Remote, which makes it easy to navigate LG’s relatively good tvOS interface. This TV has been steadily dropping from its original $2,700 MSRP, but this is the lowest price yet.
