We should end April with a lot of great deals. For a limited time (Saturday only, and until stock sells out), Woot is offering solid discounts on both the standard Nintendo Switch (the non-OLED version) and the smaller, cheaper Switch lite, and if you make your purchase through the Woot app. Not shabby! If you've been considering the investment, you should jump on this because it's rare to see a price drop on Nintendo hardware.
It is normally priced at $299.99, but the discount knocks $10 off the price. The real discount happens when you buy it through the app, taking a little more off the price, totaling $2699.99 before tax. You're getting a new-in-box model for less than some refurbished deals. This model is reviewed in our review.
The Nintendo Switch has a 6.2-inch touch screen, three play styles, and a wi-fi connection, so it can be used to play online.
For the Switch lite. It is normally priced at $199.99, but is being discounted by $10 The final price before tax is just $180, thanks to the extra discounts. We reviewed the smaller switch lite.
Friday was one of the best deals of the week. It is a rare $20 discount on the Beats Fit Pro, which we called the best earbuds yet. Normally $199.99, a variety of retailers including Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart are selling them for $179.99, the lowest price yet. It may seem difficult to swallow, given that the third-gen and fourth-gen AirPods typically cost less than this. The Fit Pro's comfort and secure fit make them worth considering over either option. They come in four different colors.
The wing tips on the Fit Pro earbuds help keep them secure. Their sound has the right amount of bass and kick to keep you motivated, and they also have excellent noise cancellation.
If you like to play loud instruments in a studio or have sensitive ears, Etymotic's ER20XS are high-fidelity ear plugs that protect your hearing. They have a carrying case and neckband. Unlike standard ear plugs, these claim to reduce sound levels evenly, preserving speech and environmental sounds, so it is a less jarring effect overall. They work the same way as Etymotic says they do.
You can get a set of new, standard fit Etymotic ear plugs at a lower price.
These ear plugs are made to keep out sounds that can lead to hearing damage, while preserving details that you want to enjoy.
65-inch QLED TVs can be pricey, but that's not the case for the 5-series model. The TV, which has built-in software from the internet company, is now just $648 at Amazon and $649.99 at Best Buy, falling well below its usual $899.99 price point. This should be a good all-around model, and it has more even lighting than edge-lit panels. It isn't particularly well-suited for high-end gaming. Unlike the mini-LED model that has a 120Hz refresh rate panel, this one operates at 60Hz and lacks a 2.1 port for fast gaming.
