Jabra’s noise-canceling Elite 85t are on sale for their best price yet

If you’re on the market for a great pair of noise-canceling earbuds, it’s hard to go wrong with Jabra’s comfortable Elite 85t, which are on sale at Amazon right now with a pair of Qi-certified wireless charging pads for just $149.99 ($80 off). Although the Elite 85t are not Jabra’s newest model, they still offer good noise cancellation, solid on-earbud controls, and the ability to pair with two devices simultaneously, a feature many true wireless earbuds still lack. They also come with a case that charges wirelessly or via USB-C, and they carry an IPX4 rating for water and sweat resistance. Read our review.

The 12.9-inch iPad Pro is a capable device, but it can’t do it all. Luckily, there are accessories like Apple’s well-made Magic Keyboard, which allows you to transform your 12.9-inch iPad Pro into something more akin to a traditional laptop. The latest model can accommodate the thicker, 2021 iPad Pro — as well as the third, fourth, and fifth-gen models — but, otherwise, the sturdy keyboard case shares the same design as the previous model, providing both an excellent trackpad and a backlit keyboard that’s comfortable to type on.

Normally $349, Apple’s Magic Keyboard for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro is on now sale in white at Amazon for $293, its best price to date. The retailer is also discounting the keyboard case in other configurations, including one that’s compatible with the 11-inch iPad Pro, the 2020 iPad Air, and the forthcoming iPad Air with Apple’s M1 chip. That model, while a far cry from its all-time low of $249, is on sale right now at Amazon for $288 instead of $299.99. Read our 2020 Magic Keyboard review

Apple Magic Keyboard (2021)

Apple’s Magic Keyboard for the M1-equipped, 12.9-inch iPad Pro touts the same features found on the first model introduced in 2020, including USB-C passthrough charging and a great keyboard. The latest revision is sized differently, however, allowing it to accommodate the thicker, fifth-gen iPad Pro.

If you’ve been on the market for an app-connected smart lock, Amazon and Best Buy are both selling August’s latest Wi-Fi Smart Lock for $198.59 instead of $229.99. While we’ve seen the fourth-gen model go for as low as $169.99 in the past, this is the lowest price either retailer has sold it for this year. The small, Alexa-enabled lock is compatible with most US deadbolt locks and is easier to set up and install than its predecessor. Plus, unlike the bigger last-gen model, it doesn’t require an external bridge for connectivity — you just need to add the lock to your existing Wi-Fi network through the August smartphone app. Read our review.
