Finding good noise canceling headphones for little money is often a game of chance because you almost always pay for it somewhere–be it in terms of sound, wearing comfort, or durability. But after many disappointments, I finally discovered two models (one wireless, one wired) that really convinced me. My perfect companion for travel and workouts: TOZO T10 Bluetooth headphones I’ve already tried a few cheap Bluetooth headphones–many of them were ruined after a few months. Not so with the TOZO T10. I’ve been using them almost every day for over a year now, mostly in the gym, on walks, or when I’m travelling. And they still hold up. The headphones connect quickly, sit comfortably and deliver a pleasantly balanced sound. The bass is solid (up to 16 Hertz) for the price. They usually cost about $25, but they’re on sale right now for $20. The noise cancelation is excellent for this price range. I can train in the gym with them without any problems, even with loud music playing in the background. They only reach their limits when there’s a good amount of ambient noise. Speaking of the environment, the TOZO T10 are waterproof (IPX8), so they’re suitable for all kinds of outdoor activities. TOZO T10 headphones: my choice when it has to be wireless I find the long battery life especially practical. With the charging case, I can easily manage 40 to 45 hours. Charging usually takes around 60 to 90 minutes, although I never let them run completely empty. The touch control works reliably (most of the time at least), even if I found it took a bit of getting used to at first, as it could be a bit more sensitive for my taste. In short, the TOZO T10 are the ideal low-budget all-rounders for me when I’m travelling and don’t want to spend too much. Get the TOZO T10 for $19.99 at Amazon My go-to for recording and calls: OneOdio Pro-10 with cable When I’m sitting at my computer, recording audio or making video calls, I almost always reach for the OneOdio Pro-10. For just $39.09, these wired over-ear headphones deliver a really rich sound, especially in the bass. Podcasts, Zoom meetings, or music productions sound clear and powerful. Thanks to the closed design, ambient noise is reliably muffled without me having to turn up the volume at all. This allows me to concentrate fully on my work or music, even with background noise. OneOdio over-ear headphones: maximum noise cancelling with rich bassPC-Welt The wearing comfort is good, even if I have to take them off after two to three hours because the contact pressure becomes a little uncomfortable. The supplied detachable cables with two different connections are a real plus point: A 3.5 mm jack cable with microphone for a laptop, smartphone or PS4/PS5, for example. It also works with older iPads or MP3 players without any problems. A 3 meter cable with a 6.35 mm jack (standard for hi-fi and music equipment), which can be used to connect the headphones to an audio interface, keyboard, or amplifier. The integrated share port even makes it easy to connect a second pair of headphones to listen to music with someone. Get the OneOdio for $39.09 at Amazon Read...

Whether it’s a smudgy smart display, a grimy iPhone screen, or a laptop display flecked with dust and hair, the look of a dirty screen drives me nuts.  I keep a bottle of cleaning solution and microfiber cloths in my office, but they do me no good when I’m out on the road or on a trip. And even if I wanted to haul around a 16-ounce container of cleaning liquid when I travel, I’m pretty sure the TSA wouldn’t be too keen.  That’s why I never leave the house without a few of these disposable wipes in my pocket. These CareTouch Lens Wipes are designed for eyeglasses, but they work wonders with screens too, particularly phone and watch screens.  These CareTouch wipes are perfect for giving my Apple Watch a quick cleaning.Ben Patterson/Foundry Measuring 5 x 6 inches when fully unfolded, the CareTouch wipes can clean the grime off my iPhone and Apple Watch displays with just a few wipes. They’re also large enough to clean a laptop screen—a good thing, given that I’m staring at a MacBook display right now that’s annoyingly gunky. (How do all these strands of hair manage to get on the screen, anyway?)  I even use the CareTouch wipes to give my Google Nest Hub and Echo Show displays the occasional scrub, with the cloths making quick work of the fingerprints and dust that quickly build on those stationary screens.  I don’t leave home without one of these in my pocket.Ben Patterson/Foundry You can snag a box of 100 CareTouch Lens Wipes on Amazon for $7.99 (they’re currently on sale), which comes out to about 8 cents a wipe. Even better, you may want to invest $13 for a box of 210 wipes, or $17 for 400 of these little screen-cleaning marvels.  Get a box of 100 CareTouch Lens Wipes for $7.99buy now at amazon Read...

One of our favorite features in a laptop these days is an OLED screen because there’s nothing better than crystal-clear images with vibrant colors and perfect blacks. The beautiful Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x is one such laptop, and right now it’s on sale at Best Buy for $1,100. That’s a hefty $250 off its original price, making it an even better value. We reviewed the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x and loved it enough to give it a 4.5-star rating and our Editors’ Choice award. We praised it for its impressive battery life, beautiful display, and overall performance—and we loved it even at full price. The lack of an audio jack and USB-A ports was a downer, and it isn’t as “bendy” as the Yoga name would suggest, but those are minor nitpicks in an otherwise excellent laptop. While this laptop has some light gaming potential, don’t get it if that’s a top priority. The 3K OLED touchscreen is best for streaming and productivity, and this is a proper AI-ready Copilot+ PC thanks to its cutting-edge Snapdragon X Elite processor and amazing 32GB of LPDDR5X RAM. Other nice features include a 1TB SSD, three USB-C ports (two of which are USB4), Wi-Fi 7, and a 1080p webcam. It’s also quite portable at 2.8 pounds and just 0.59 inches thick. If you need long-lasting battery life, solid performance, and a travel-friendly build, all at a fantastic price, and if you don’t mind the lack of gaming prowess, then you can’t go wrong with the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7x for $250 off at Best Buy. Get it while this deal is still hot! We love this Snapdragon 3K OLED laptop, especially for $250 offBuy now at Best Buy Read...
