Microsoft’s Surface Headphones 2 have dropped to their lowest price in months

A good pair of noise-canceling headphones can be useful when you need to listen to the world around you while you work or play. That's why today's deal on Microsoft's Surface Headphones 2, currently one of the best pairs of noise-canceling headphones you can buy, is a great deal.

If you're looking for a solid set of headphones, the gray model can be found at Amazon for $225.50 instead of $249.99. It's the second-best price to date, but it's not as low as their sale price during Black Friday. If you prefer the black model, you can get it for less at Target.

The wireless headphones make it easy to pair with multiple devices and switch between them. They have better sound quality and battery life than their predecessors, and they have dial controls for noise cancellation. They still do a good job at tuning out ambient sounds even though their noise-canceling tech isn't as effective as Bose and Sony. Our review can be read.

Microsoft's Surface Headphones 2 have the same intuitive dial controls as the originals for volume and noise cancellation, but the sequel offer better sound quality and battery life at a cheaper price.

The best laptop for fans of big screens is the LG Gram 17, a device that has a 17-inch screen. It is typically quite expensive to have that big display. Amazon is selling a Windows machine for one of its best prices to date. Right now, you can buy the model with an 11th Gen Intel Core i7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 1 terabytes of storage at Amazon for just over 1,500 dollars, but it has just a few units in stock.

The Gram 17 is surprisingly light. It's a little bit heavier than the MacBook Air, but it's still relatively powerful and feature-rich, and you can carry it around with you while on the go. Our review can be read.

This gray model with a 10th Gen Intel Core i3 processor, 4 gigabytes of RAM, and a 128 gigabytes of storage is available for $4499.99 with a promo code CHROMEDB1, one of its best prices to date.

The Flex 5's battery life was only about five and half hours when we tested it, but it has other great features. Read the review.
