If nothing stands out among the headphone deals that you’ve come across, you may want to try bone conduction headphones. If you’re interested, you’re in luck because the Shokz OpenRun Pro, originally priced at $180, are on sale from Best Buy for a more affordable $140. That’s amazing value for these bone conduction headphones, but you need to hurry with your purchase if you want to take advantage of the $40 discount. The offer is available for now, but we’re not sure how much time is remaining before it gets taken down.

Why you should buy the Shokz OpenRun Pro bone conduction headphones

Unlike traditional headphones that cover your ears and blast sound waves through your eardrums, bone conduction headphones like the Shokz OpenRun Pro use transducers that sit next to your ears to send vibrations through your cheekbones and deliver sound directly to your inner ear, according to our guide on how do bone conduction headphones work. The benefits of this technology include leaving your ears open so you can still hear what’s going on around you such as when you’re commuting or working in the office, and improved stability as the Shokz OpenRun Pro features a wraparound titanium frame that stays in place compared to the bands of traditional headphones.

The Shokz OpenRun Pro is our top pick among the best bone conduction headphones because, in addition to their high-quality titanium design, they’re equipped with the Shokz TurboPitch technology that promises premium sound quality and PremiumPitch 2.0 technology for enhanced bass. They also come with IP55 resistance against water and dust, a battery life of up to 10 hours from a full charge, and a dual noise-canceling microphone so you’ll be heard loud and clear during voice calls.

If you like the advantages of bone conduction headphones, getting the Shokz OpenRun Pro is an excellent way to enjoy them, especially now that you can get them at $40 off from Best Buy. You’ll only have to pay $140 instead of $180 for these headphones, but only if you act fast because there’s no assurance that they’d still be this cheap tomorrow. If you’re already looking forward to listening to your favorite playlists with the Shokz OpenRun Pro bone conduction headphones, don’t hesitate with your purchase in order to pocket the savings.

Flash deal: Get $100 off the Sennheiser Momentum 4 headphones

Sennheiser Momentum Wireless 4

Sennheiser is a big name when it comes to consumer audio, and if you're looking to grab some of the best headphones on the market, then you'll want to grab a pair of Sennheiser headphones. Of course, battling it out at the top with other big names like Sony and Apple means that Sennheiser headphones can get quite expensive, so this deal on the Sennheiser Momentum 4 is perfect. As a pair of high-end headphones, they come at a premium, but Best Buy has discounted them down to $300 from the original $400, although be aware that the deal is ending today, so snap it up quickly before it expires.

Why you should buy the Sennheiser Momentum 4
While the Sennheiser Momentum 4 may not be as widely known as some other high-end headphones out there, it easily competes, if not outperforms, the likes of Sony WH-1000XM5 or even the AirPods Max when it comes to audio fidelity. That's no surprise, given that Sennheiser also makes professional audio-grade headphones for studios, and with that comes the experience of creating a clear and wide sound with an impressive bass that is expressive rather than thumping and loud. The treble is more refined and textured, while the Momentum 4 does an excellent job of making voices clear without muddling the rest of the frequencies.

The best soundbar Bose makes is $100 off right now, and a must-buy

While there are a lot of big audio brands out there, Bose is one of the biggest and most well-known and makes some of the best headphones on the market right now. Bose doesn't limit itself to just headphones, though, and it's also branched out to make some of the best soundbars on the market as well. Of course, Bose's soundbars do tend to be expensive, but luckily, there's a deal from Best Buy that discounts the original $900 down to $800.

Why you should buy the Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar
While the Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar doesn't come with a subwoofer or satellite speakers, it does a good job of recreating surround sound for the whole room with just six speakers in its little frame. It comes with both Dolby Atmos and Bose TrueSpace, which help create a wider soundstage so that you can hear things with a bit more detail. In fact, it also has a fancy AI Dialogue mode, which helps adjust the audio to make the voice sound clearer, which is important given that most shows and films these days tend to lower the volume of the actors' voices.
