There are headphone deals.

The second generation of Apple's earbuds.

The second- generation wireless earbuds have a speaker embedded in the case so you can find it more quickly, and have a longer battery life. Apple's noise-canceling technology is one of the best in a pair of earbuds.

Some of the best audio quality you'll find in such a small package can be found in these earbuds from Sony. It's possible that they're too large for small ears. There's a noise canceling system, a wireless charging case, and quick pair with phones.

Most people still prefer Sony's flagship headphones. They look good, last a long time, and sound great. Sony's noise cancellation is very good. Right now, you can get the previous generation WH-1000XM4 for just $230.

There is a picture of beats.

If you have an Apple device, these are the best earbuds for working out. The Beats Fit Pro have excellent noise cancellation and are comfortable to wear. You don't have to worry about pausing your music while you work out because there are physical controls on the outside of each ear bud.

Do you want more security? They have a secure fit so they won't fall out of your ears. They have nine hours of battery from a charge, which is more than Apple's standard AirPods. If you take one out of your ear, you can route a call back to your phone.

The Studio3 are still a great pair of headphones even though they are getting a little long in the tooth. They pair well with Apple devices and there's great noise cancellation.

Amazon's second-gen Echo Buds are our favorite cheap buds, so this is a great discount. You can control the buds, ask questions, and set timer without looking at your phone with the built-in voice assistant.

There are deals on phones, tablets, and watches.

There is a photograph of the internet search engine, Google.

The best phone for most people is the Pixel 6A. Some of the best photos can be seen in this budget-conscious phone. You get a bright display, a long battery life, and five years of security updates. Many of the smart software features are known for byPixels. It's still a steal even though you sacrifice a few bells and whistles.

The new phone from the search engine giant, the Pixel 7, has only been out for a month, but it is already on sale. Since we liked it so much, it's impressive. A battery that lasts a day and one of the best cameras on a phone are some of the things you get with this device. You can read more about the smart features here. The larger 120-hertz screen and 5X optical zoom camera is on sale for $749, which is $150 off. There are more deals here.

If you don't want the Pixel 6A for some reason, then the WIRED recommends the SAMSUNG GALAXY A 53 5G. There is a 120-hertz screen refresh rate and a MicroSD card slot. It will get five years of security updates. The cameras are not as good as the budget one.

There is a photograph of SAMSUNG.

The S22 Ultra is a good buy despite the fact that a successor to this phone will be announced early in the future. There are only a few phones in the US that have a 10x optical zoom camera, and that allows you to take pictures far away. It's a high-end phone with a 6.8-inch display. A built-in stylus is also included.

The new Fire HD 8 improves on its predecessor in almost every way. It has a faster processor and is thinner. It's a great cheap device for consuming media and browsing the internet, and it's small. You can get the Fire HD 8 Kids version for $80, which is $150 off. It comes with a bumper case and a two-year worry-free guarantee. Do you want something smaller? The Fire HD 7 (2022) is on sale for $40 and has good performance for web browsing and watching videos.

Apple is still selling last year's model of the iPad, even though there is a new one in town. It supports the first-gen Apple Pencil and has a nice screen. Multi-tasking improvements are available in iPadOS 16 as well.

There is an apple

If you haven't upgraded in a while, the Apple Watch Series 8 is the best Apple Watch on the market. It now includes crash detection, which will contact emergency services if you're unresponsive, and it still has great health and wellbeing features. If you're interested in tracking your fertility, keep in mind privacy issues.

There are a number of features missing from the first-ever Pixel watch, but it's a gorgeous watch that is comfortable and accurate at tracking the health and fitness basics. You can respond to phone calls with its responsive interface. The battery life is not great, and it charges slowly, so it's always top of mind. The only phones it works with are the ones on the operating system.

There are streaming deals.

The best interface of any streaming device we've tried and we love this one from WIRED. Whether you're looking for a specific title or feel like a comedy tonight, it's easy to browse across platforms. If you don't need a 4K device, you can get a cheaper HD-only version of the Chromecast.

The Streaming Stick 4K Plus, which is slightly discounted at Amazon, is our recommendation for most people. The remote doesn't have hands-free voice control. Even though the interface of the above device is nicer, we still like to use it. It's easy for most people to navigate and have almost every service under the sun.

If the rest of your house is asleep, you can use the headphones on the side of the remote to listen to music. If your TV supports it, you'll be able to watch it in Dolby Vision. It has a voiceremote.

There is a photograph of Roku.

The audio quality of your TV can be improved with the Streambar. It works well in small living rooms. You don't have to worry about turning down the loud scenes while your roommate is sleeping because it has a night listening mode.

If you like watching Prime Video, you should use this streaming stick. It works with most apps, but it's geared towards Prime shows and movies. You can pull up your security camera feed with a picture-in- picture feature.

There are home deals.

There is a photograph of Ember.

I like to use the random mugs I have with a warmer one. If you work in an office, Ember's mugs do a good job of keeping your coffee warm. If you connect it to the app, you can set your temperature from 120 to 140 degrees. It takes about an hour and a half for the battery to last.

The lowest price we've seen on this model is this one. The stand mixers will prove useful to any home baker.

Attach the circular trackers to your keys by putting them in your luggage or wallet. You can find the location of the item if you misplace it. If you misplace an item, you'll be able to see its location on a map with the help of the tracker. There are ways to know if you are being tracked by an AirTag.

There is a photograph of Amazon.

This stick vacuum is still a good deal even though it has gone as low as $350 before. The vac that WIRED recommends the most is the V10 Cyclone. It's easy to maneuver and it's strong. It can be turned into a hand vac. You can learn more in our guide. We'll have a review up soon, but you can also save and get the older V8 Origin for $280, which is $100 off.

Our favorite robot vacuum is this one. It is easy to use and effective. You don't have to empty it as frequently because it empties automatically into the bin.

One of our top picks for outdoor security cameras is the nest cam battery, if you want to stick to the garabe assistant The battery will last more than a month before needing to be charged. Even when night vision kicks on, the quality is great. There are a few helpful features that can be added to a nest aware subscription. There is a version with a floodlight for $90 off and a corded version for $70 off.

There is a picture of Sonos.

The Beam is one of the best in the business. It is the best balance of sound and size for most living rooms. The Beam supports voice assistants and is incredibly sleek, even on your shelf or wall. For more, read our guide.

If you want to ask questions, set timers, or control your smart home, this is the speaker for you. The fabric is made of plastic bottles. For more information, read our guide.

The audio output of the Nest Audio is much better than the audio output of the Nest Mini. If you want to play music around the house, you'll need this speaker.

There are a lot of reasons to want a display without a camera. The 7-inch nest hub will satisfy. When it's not in use, it can be used as a digital photo frame, but you can use your phone to control your smart home gadgets or ask it any questions, and see the responses on the screen. It's a good option for the bedroom because it can track your sleep habits. You can check out our guide for more recommendations.

There are gaming deals.

There is a Nintendo Switch and Mario Kart 8 edition.

The deal includes a digital download code for Mario Kart 8. You can join Nintendo Switch Online for three months and crush your friends and strangers online. For the price of the console, you get the game and membership.

You can get the Series S if the Series X isn't in stock. It is a good alternative. The Series S is small and can only play digital games, but it can play titles up to 120 frames per second at a higher resolution. Target is throwing a $50 gift card, which you can use to buy an XBOX game, at the lowest price we have tracked.

There is only one controller in the box, so get a spare for the second player. There are discounts on all of the color options.

Are you planning on streaming your sessions? You will sound better on the stream with an affordable microphone. Plug it into your computer. There are other tips and suggestions in the guide.

There are beauty deals.

The one-step volumizer hair dryer is from the company.

One of our favorites is the hair dryer. It is easy to use and works quickly. This is a smart all-in-one solution because you don't have to hold a blow dryer and brush in two hands. It will not work as well on all hair types.

I get a lot of beauty products when I go to Target. Several beauty products are included in a buy one get one 25 percent off deal. There are a few suggestions.

  • Hero Cosmetics In Case of Everything 2022 Holiday Kit ($20): Hero Cosmetics makes the best pimple patches and the Rescue Balm included in this kit is amazing if you've given in to the urge to pick and pop. It helps prevent scabbing. The Lightning Wand lightens dark spots from old pimples.
  • ZitSticka Head-to-Toe Zit Clearing Gift Set ($20): ZitSticka also has great pimple patches, and this kit includes masks and body wash. We haven't tried all of the products in the gift set.
  • Starface Holiday Big Yellow + Refills Acne Treatment ($25): Starface makes it really cute to deal with acne. This includes the plastic yellow mirror and patch holder, plus refills. 
  • Morphe 2 Quad Goals Multi-Palette Cosmetic Set ($16): Morphe's Morphe 2 line is for those who don't necessarily want a full glam look—I particularly love its skin tint, and this set has an eyeshadow, cream blush, lip tint, and highlighter balm in a compact that's small enough for traveling.
  • Real Techniques Everyday Essentials Makeup Brush Kit ($19): The Miracle Complexion Sponge included in this kit is the only makeup sponge I use, and I've yet to use a brush that I don't like. 
  • Byoma Hydrating Skincare Set ($20): I've used all three of Byoma's cutely packaged hydrating products in this kit: the face wash, serum, and moisturizer. My super dry skin needs something a little thicker than this moisturizer, but I still use the face wash.
