Score Some $34 Bluetooth Earbuds, Stop Overpaying Your ISP, More Deals

Highly-rated Bluetooth headphones for $34? We live in a wonderful world.

Update: Sold out at $34, but the similar Mpow Swift headphones are only $30 right now.

Another consideration: If you're going to be getting an Apple Watch, you'll need Bluetooth headphones to listen to audio while you exercise. [ Photive PH-BTE50 Lightweight Wireless Bluetooth 4.0 Sports Headphones, $34]

Every modem rental fee you pay to your ISP is padding for their bottom line, and a total rip-off for you. Fortunately, you can buy your own modem for a relatively small upfront cost, and knock a few bucks off your monthly bill.

There's a general consensus that Motorola's SB6141 is the best modem for most cable internet subscribers, but it usually runs in the $80-$90 range. Today only though, you can score a refurb from Woot for $58 shipped. It'll pay for itself eventually no matter what it costs, but this is a rare opportunity to save a decent chunk of change on this particular model. [Refurb Motorola Surfboard SB6141 Modem, $58]

Anker makes some of the most popular gadget charging accessories we've ever listed, and their newly-released iPhone 6 battery case is getting a 50% discount today.

This is the first deal we've seen on Anker's foray into the charging case market, and $30 is one of the best prices we've seen on an iPhone 6 charging case period. It only came out last month, but it's already scraped together a 4.7 star review average on 50 reviews, so you can buy with confidence. [ Anker iPhone 6 Charging Case, $30 with code AKSLIMIP]

The Samsung 850 EVO is the excellent successor to your previous favorite SSD, and the 500GB capacity is down to $190 on Amazon, the lowest price they've ever listed. If you still own a PC with a spinning hard drive, this is absolutely the best upgrade you can get for it. [Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SSD, $190]

Need an easier way to move files between your phones, tablets, and computers? This 32GB flash drive doubles as a tiny wireless NAS, allowing iOS and Android devices to transfer files back and forth without ever plugging anything in.

This means that if your tablet is low on storage, you could store a few movies on the drive and stream them to the screen. Or if you take a lot of vacation photos on your phone, you could offload them to the drive to save space and transfer them more easily. The use cases are admittedly a little niche, but you'll be glad you bought this thing when they arise.

Today's price is the best we've ever seen. [SanDisk - Connect 32GB USB 2.0 Wireless Flash Drive, $35]

Back again: one of the best price-per-TB hard drive deals we've seen. [ Seagate Expansion 5TB USB 3.0 Desktop External Hard Drive, $130]

We've got another great deal on the ultra-popular Eneloop Power Pack, this time from Walmart. You get 8 AAs, 2 AAAs, 2 C spacers, 2 D spacers, and a charger, making this a great way to stat your rechargeable battery collection. [Eneloop Power Pack, $33]

For my money, Sennheiser's Momentum headphones are some of the best looking cans on the market, and Amazon has them today for a new low price. They're temporarily out of stock, but you should at least be able to lock in your price. [Sennheiser Momentum Headphones, $160]

This is the receiver that your home theater deserves, marked down to the lowest price we've ever seen. [ Onkyo 575W 5.2Ch. Network-Ready 4K Ultra HD and 3D PassThrough AV Home Theater Receiver TX-NR535, $250]

I have no interest in selfie sticks, and I don't condone their use in public places, but they seem to be popular for some reason, and this is a good price, so I'm duty-bound to report it. [3-Way Rotating Aluminum Alloy Selfie Stick, $18 with code 3WAY5OFF]

Great espresso requires significant investments of time, money, and effort, as well as the willingness to buy fresh beans and the scheduling to use them quickly. We'll have a guide on that soon, but if you know it's not gonna happen for you, keep reading.

The Nespresso Pixie ( chrome, aluminum red/blue/silver) is down near price lows today, has the smallest footprint of the Nespresso line, and is arguably the most attractive. It uses 19 bars of pressure to push water through the coffee (15 is the standard minimum for great espresso), and it all happens with the press of one button and essentially no cleanup. Nespresso has a growing selection of coffee varieties to choose from, and third-party coffee roasters have gotten into the mix as well.

Want to enjoy the PC game ecosystem with the simplicity of a console. Alienware's Alpha series is what you're looking for, and one model is $140 off today. [Alienware Alpha ASM100-2980 Console w/ Core i3, 8GB DDR3, 1TB HDD, Windows 8, $560]

$30 Bluetooth speakers aren't uncommon, but most are fairly ugly, or made of cheap plastic materials. This highly-rated model from Anker though is encased in Apple-style brushed aluminum, which seems kind of crazy at this price point. [Anker Aluminum Bluetooth Speaker, $30 with code OSJJSS6I]

If you have an iPhone 6 or 6 Plus, these thin glass screen protectors will keep their (tragically non-sapphire) screens in perfect condition. That's great for your peace of mind, and also your resale value whenever the next one comes out. There are a lot of these screen protectors out there, but $6 is tough to beat, and 4.3 stars on over 650 reviews inspires confidence.
