Verge readers can get a discount on Belkin’s SoundForm Mini 2 wireless headphones. The kid-focused on-ear headphones feature an 85-decibel volume limit and easy controls, and a mode that lets them beam audio (wired or wirelessly) to a second pair without extra hardware. Readers can use the code VERGE25OFF to save 25 percent on up to two pairs of SoundForm Mini 2 headphones.
The $29.99 model without the zip-up carrying case gets knocked down to $22.49. Alternatively, a more limited selection of colors are currently available that include a case, which is $29.99 instead of $39.99 once the offer code is applied in the cart.
While these don’t deliver noise cancellation, they should be good enough for most situations. They can last up to 55 hours on a single change, and they can fold up neatly to fit into a variety of bags. The SoundForm Mini 2 are made for ages 3 and up, and feature an adjustable headband and cushioned earcups. They’re pretty no-frills, though the audio-sharing mode I described above is a great way around having to buy some sort of audio splitter or wireless transmitter to ensure multiple kids are entertained.

Sonos Ace have been succeeded by the Onto more capable headphones, thehave been succeeded by the $449 Ace Ultra that offer better battery life, improved noise cancellation, plus the feature we most wished was in the original: the ability to directly link them to speakers via Wi-Fi, letting you move freely around your home instead of close to your soundbar. Those are sizable improvements, but the original Sonos Ace is still a fantastic value, especially at the current $299.99 sale price from Amazon and Best Buy . While not a new discount, it’s nice to have a lower-cost alternative available. In our 2024 review , we bemoaned the iffy state of the Sonos app, and criticized the Ace for not working with the Beam and Ray soundbars for TV Audio Swap. The company recently debuted its plans for overhauling the app, and TV Audio Swap support for those soundbars has been added following their debut.

You can snag it for $51.99, while the digital version is still selling for $69.99. While not an essential Switch 2 title for those building out their libraries with a limited budget, it delivers F-Zero-esque frenzy that Mario Kart World can’t match. It’s the follow-up to Kirby Air Ride on the GameCube, giving players more flexibility in who they race as, what aircraft they use, plus a host of game modes to give you more to do than just racing.
