The wait for the highly anticipated sale is over. Amazon Prime Day is finally here with the best deals you’ll probably see this season. Open-back headphones have made their way to the high-end market as it produces a clearer and more natural sound. The Sennheiser HD 599 SE Over-Ear Open-Back Headphoneusually sells for $200 but you can snag a pair for only $100. This Amazon exclusive offer is only valid for a limited time of 24 hours so you better get yours before stock runs out.

The Sennheiser HD 599 is the highest-end version and one of the latest additions to the HD 500 series. These open-back headphones bring audiophile sound quality as soon as you pop them on. Powered by Sennheiser proprietary transducers and featuring the ergonomic acoustic refinement (EAR), the HD599 delivers a natural tonal balance that brings exceptional detail and definition, especially for bass. Spatial performance is also unequivocal as you can quickly pick up on the depth and placement of instruments.

There is no doubt that comfort was considered in the uncompromising build and design of the HD 599. The classic black finish with matte metallic silver accents on this headphone communicates quality and style at first glance. The HD 599 are incredibly lightweight and form-fitting ideal for long listening sessions. Sennheiser definitely made a step toward the right direction by making improvements from its predecessor, the HD 598 with better padding.  The headband has a more premium look and feel now that the pleather padding is thicker. The large oval ear cups and soft replaceable velour earpads complement the open-back design as it reduces the pressure that goes through your ears.

The Sennheiser HD 599 may be great for casual to critical listening but may not have the best scores when it comes to blocking out noise. To minimize noise and sound leakage, these headphones are best used in isolation. The HD 599 comes with a set of two detachable cables for versatile connectivity. The 3-meter cable and 6.3-millimeter jack are geared together for a home entertainment system while the 1.2-meter cable and the appropriated 3.5-millimeter jack are perfectly compatible with phones, tablets, and laptops.

The HD 500 series of headphones surely give precedence to the Sennheiser as a brand audiophiles will trust and appreciate. The Sennheiser HD 599 SE Over-Ear Open-Back Headphone will sure make a bang for your buck at only $100. Give your ears a much-deserved treat and your wallet a chance to save 50% on the cost.

Dell XPS 13 and XPS 15 prices slashed for Memorial Day — from $599
Dell XPS 15 9530 front view showing display and keyboard deck.

If you're looking at Dell Memorial Day deals for a new laptop, here are a couple of offers that you should consider -- the Dell XPS 13 with a $200 discount that slashes its price to $599 from $799, and the Dell XPS 15 at $300 off, bringing its price down to $1,199 from $1,499. These are previous-generation models following the Dell XPS reset, and in the case of the Dell XPS 15, it's the last iteration of the laptop as it's been replaced by the Dell XPS 14. However, both of them are still worthwhile purchases, especially with the savings that you can pocket if you buy them for the holiday. You need to be quick though, as their prices may go back to normal at any time.
Dell XPS 13 -- $599, was $799

The previous-generation Dell XPS 13 remains in our list of the best laptops as the best budget laptop, as it's aggressively priced for a premium laptop with such a striking design. The 13.4-inch Full HD+ screen is surrounded by extremely narrow bezels, and it's got enough performance for the daily activities required by work or school with its 12th-generation Intel Core i5 processor, Intel Iris Xe Graphics, and 8GB of RAM. The laptop runs on Windows 11 Home out of the box, with the operating system pre-loaded in its 256GB SSD, and it has a pair of Thunderbolt 4 ports for charging and connectivity with your accessories.
