Today only, Amazon’s taking up to 90% off over 400 educational books, running the gamut from self-improvement to cookbooks to programming language tutorials to political science. [Today Only - Over 400 Educational Kindle Books are up to 90% Off]

If you’re in the market for a new set of headphones, we’ve spotted two great options on sale today.

V-Moda’s well-reviewed Crossfade M-80s feature a unique look and customizable face plates, not to mention a practically indestructible design. In fact, they’re designed to withstand 60 drops onto concrete, and the band is rated for 10 fully flat bends, which is practically unheard of at this price level. Today’s $80 deal is a match for their all-time low. [V-Moda Crossfade M080 Headphones, $80]

Or, if you’re looking for something a little more traditional, Sony’s iconic MDR-7506 over-ears are down to $80 as well. Despite being introduced in 1991, these headphones were a runner-up in our best headphones Co-Op, and today’s $80 today is within a few bucks of the best price we’ve seen. [Sony MDR-7506 Headphones, $80]

This 6,000mAh battery pack features a svelte design and a second USB port, which is a rarity at this size. Obviously, there are bigger battery packs out there, but this looks like a great option if you want something pocket sized. [Lumsing 6000mAh Ultra Slim Portable Power Bank, $10 with code EQVL973P]

Apply a nice coat of moustache oil, pour yourself a glass of Soylent, and relax to the sounds of your favorite vinyl records with this portable turntable. [1byone Belt-Drive 3 Speed Stereo Portable Turntable with Built in Speakers, $57 with code N2OH6RIJ]

This KitchenAid hand mixer isn’t nearly as powerful as their iconic stand mixers, but you can use it in any bowl, and at $32 it’s a no-brainer kitchen accessory if you don’t already own something similar. [KitchenAid KHM512ER 5-Speed Ultra Power Hand Mixer, $32]

This great looking spice/herb grinder is made of zinc alloy, and even has a magnetic lid to prevent spillage. Add in its 4.9 star review average, and it certainly seems like a steal at $13. [Kingtop 3” Herb Grinder, $13 with code TVX6U4IC]

Mpow’s Swift Bluetooth Headphones are one of the most popular items we’ve ever posted, but the biggest complaint we hear is that they don’t fit everyone’s ears particularly well. Their newer Cheetah model aims to address that with a wraparound design, and you can try a pair yourself for just $25 today, matching an all-time low. [Mpow Cheetah Bluetooth Headphones, $25 with code DBV97HBC]

You’ve probably heard of Amazon Subscribe & Save, but did you know Target has a similar program? To help promote it, they’re offering an extra 40% off when you subscribe to three select items, along with free shipping.

The deal is marketed towards college students, but you can find everyday essentials like like laundry detergent, bathroom supplies, and razor blades to build your own deal. Remember: You’ll need to check the “Subscribe for 5% Off” box on each product page to get the deal. [40% off + Free Shipping When You Mix and Match Three College Essentials Subscriptions]

With a slim design, detachable hand vac, and up to 30 minutes of battery life, this $80 cordless Electrolux vacuum looks ideal for smallish homes and apartments. [Electrolux Ergorapido Lithium Ion Plus 2-in-1 Handheld Vacuum, $80]

If you want to take a data-driven approach to your weight loss regimen, this $49 smart scale can sync with your iPhone or Android device to track your vitals over time. And yes, it works with iOS HealthKit. [Etekcity 11lb-400lb Bluetooth Body Fat BMI Weight Bathroom Scale, $49 with code SCALE123]

If you missed out on last week’s magnetic knife bar deal, here’s a longer version for $15. [Ouddy 22 Inch Aluminum Magnetic Knife Bar, $15 with code 6FJK8596]

These also make for great magnetic spice racks, if you need more storage space. Just mount a few strips underneath your cabinets, store your spices in small mason jars, and attach them from below.

Microsoft’s new Xbox One Gears of War bundle comes with Gears of War remastered in 1080p, plus the entire Xbox 360 Gears of War collection via Microsoft’s backwards compatibility (coming soon). And if that’s not enough to make you bite, Walmart is tossing in an extra controller and a game of your choice at no extra charge. [Xbox One Console Gears of War Bundle w/ Bonus Controller and Choice of Another Select Game, $349]

The Logitech G710+ was one of your top 5 nominations for Best Gaming Keyboard, and today you can get your own for just $80, which is the best price we’ve ever seen for a new one.

That price gets you six programmable G-keys, dual-zone backlighting, and quiet mechanical keys. We don’t expect this to last long. [Logitech G710+ Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with Tactile High-Speed Keys, $80]

Many newer Android smartphones support a technology called Qualcomm Quick Charge, which allows them to charge up to 75% faster than usual when plugged into a certified high-power charger. If you want to experience it for yourself, this Aukey wall wart is Qualcomm-certified, and only $8 right now. Before you buy it though, be sure to check if your phone is compatible. [Aukey Quick Charge 2.0 18W USB Turbo Wall Charger, $8 with code 266PPQ4P]

Sporting a lower price and a built-in touchscreen, the GoPro Hero4 Silver might actually a better choice than the Hero4 Black for most consumers. Unfortunately, the Silver’s deals have been mostly limited to bundles, rather than cash savings. That changes today with an $80 discount, courtesy of REI. [GoPro HERO4 Silver, $320. Discount shown in cart.]

Do you charge your DualShock 4s with a cable, like some sort of caveman? Instead, just drop them onto this cradle, and power up two at once. You guys have bought a ton of these whenever there’s a deal, but this is the lowest price we’ve ever seen. [PowerA DualShock 4 Controller Charging Station for PlayStation 4, $14]

Victorinox’s Fibrox 8” chef’s knife is one of your favorite chef’s knives period, and by far the best value in the industry. It’s also the knife I’ve used almost every day for over three years. Amazon has it for $34 right now, which isn’t an all-time low price, but it’s on the low end of its recent price range. [Victorinox Fibrox 8” Chef’s Knife, $34]

Deals on truly portable, USB-powered hard drives have mostly been limited to 2TB capacities and smaller, but today you can save $20 on the 3TB WD My Passport Ultra in the color of your choice. On a price-per-gigabyte basis, you could do better with a 5TB desktop hard drive, but if you don’t want to deal with an AC power supply, this is a fantastic deal. [3TB WD My Passport Ultra, $130]
