The Apple AirPods Pro normally costs $ 250 new, but Best Buy has taken $ 55 of the cost for its refurbished units. You can grab a set for $ 195, and it includes the original accessories, such as the Lightning to USB-C cable, a wireless charging case, and two sets of silicone ear tips. Apple originally included three sets of ear tips, but some reviewers note that Best Buy does not include the mid-size one.
The AirPods Pro offers active soundproofing and features the best sound quality from Apple’s AirPods lineup. Apple plans to bring spatial audio to the AirPods Pro, and the feature will take advantage of its accelerometer and gyroscope to keep accurate positional sound, regardless of the position of your head.
The upgraded Microsoft Surface Go 2 with 8GB of RAM, Intel’s Core M3 processor and 128GB of storage is $ 550 at Best Buy and the Microsoft Store. This is quite a deal, as it currently has the same cost as the base model which has half the storage, half the RAM, and a slower processor.
If you want to give your home Wi-Fi connection more range and possibly faster wireless speeds than you currently get, check out this deal in Google’s Nest Wifi bundle at Office Depot and Best Buy. For $ 199 you can get a router and a point (what Google calls their extender, which also acts as a smart speaker). Normally the router costs $ 169 alone and the Point is another $ 149 added to that, so it’s a fantastic amount of savings on a good product.
Amazon’s Fire HD 8 tablet is still discounted up to $ 60 (usually $ 90), as is the Fire HD 8 Plus with some more RAM and wireless charging support. It’s $ 30 short; instead of costing $ 110, it’s down to $ 80. The Fire HD 10, with its larger 1080p screen, is down to $ 100 from $ 150.
Each of these tablets has a few things in common that can make shopping easier. They each charge via USB-C and include a charger in the box (though the Fire HD 10 includes a faster 9W charger instead of a 5W charger fitted with the Fire HD 8). They also all have microSD slots for extended storage, so you do not have to feel compelled to upgrade to the model with higher base storage, because microSD cards are generally very affordable.
