We gave these earbuds a 9/10, but at their Prime Day price, they’re an 11/10

By

What I love about Prime Day is that, if you look closely, you can find huge discounts on products that are already so good, they don’t need any discount at all. A perfect example is Soundcore’s Liberty 3 Pro wireless earbuds. When they debuted at $170, I thought they were so good, I gave them a 9/10 rating in my review, and issued them Digital Trends’ Editor’s Choice award. But these ratings and awards are always a balancing act between price and performance, so now that these buds are 47% off for Prime Day, and selling for just $90? I’m going to 11.

My enthusiasm for this deal really is all about price. When you review as many wireless earbuds as I do, you quickly get a sense of what you can expect from different models at different prices, and your senses start to tingle when a product exceeds those expectations. If you read my in-depth review of the Liberty 3 Pro, you’ll see they had already managed to do that at $170. With an absolutely killer feature set that includes wireless charging, active noise cancellation (ANC), transparency, EQ and control customization, hi-res audio support, Bluetooth Multipoint, and wear sensors for music auto-pause, they provide more sheer technical prowess than some earbuds that cost twice as much.

At under $100, well, it’s just ridiculous how impressive that value is. But the Liberty 3 Pro wouldn’t have earned an Editor’s Choice if they didn’t perform, and they absolutely do. With two drivers per earbud, and impressive factory tuning, the sound quality is excellent. Huge amounts of bass are available should you want it (but thanks to plenty of EQ presets you aren’t stuck with it) and the detail on tap in the midranges is a delight. Highs are clear and precise, as they should be.

ANC and transparency might not be the best of any wireless earbuds, but they both perform admirably, blocking sound when it’s a nuisance and letting it in when you need it. Battery life is flexible — if you want to use ANC all of the time, you’ll get six hours per charge and 24 total with the case, but when you turn ANC off, that jumps to eight and 32, respectively — plenty of time for a full day and then some.

They’re a bit bigger than some other wireless earbuds, but with their included collection of wing tips and eartips, most folks should have no problem getting a comfortable and secure fit, whether for casual use or even for working out, thanks to their IPX4 protection from water and sweat.

So if you’re on the hunt for a great Prime Day deal on a set of wireless earbuds, I can’t think of a better option than the Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro.

This Vitamix is back to its lowest price of the year for Prime Day
Vitamix5200 Professional-Grade blender

Prime Day deals offer some of the best opportunities of the year to upgrade your home appliances. We're seeing some fantastic price cuts on quality products. If you've been using a mediocre blender, for instance, you can use Prime Day to upgrade to something that a professional chef would use in an industrial kitchen. We're not kidding around here. The Vitamix 5200 professional-grade blender is currently on sale for $300. That may seem steep for a blender, but it's usually $550. This price matches the previous lowest price for this blender, so now is truly the best time to buy it.

Why you should buy the Vitamix 5200 during Prime Day
The best blenders are fairly simple devices. There are only two features that matter: how well it blends and the variety of settings. To get one thing out of the way, Vitamix blenders are high quality. This Vitamix has a cool-running motor that was built in the U.S. and designed to last for years. It works with both hot and cold food, so you can blend ice into smoothies just as easily as you can blend roasted vegetables into soup. It can also handle sticky dough for cookies and bread. When you're done blending, the clean-up is super easy. Just blend some warm, soapy water in the Vitamix, then rinse it out.

The Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95 wireless headphones are $225 off for Prime Day
Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95 headphones

While we aren't seeing too many electronics for this years Prime Day deals -- there's a much bigger emphasis on items people need like groceries, tools, supplies, and more -- that doesn't mean they're completely non-existent. In fact, there are still some pretty incredible deals going on, like Prime Day soundbar deals, Prime Day headphone deals, Prime Day AirPods deals, or even deals at rival retailers like Prime Day Walmart deals. Speaking of headphones and great deals, take this next offer on the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95 wireless headphones. Normally $899, they're on sale during the Prime libations for $675, which saves you $225. Now, the lowest we've seen these headphones this year is around $588, which would be a total savings of $311 -- so the Amazon Prime day price isn't far off.

 
Why you should buy the Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H96 wireless headphones for Prime Day
In Digital Trends' Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H95 wireless headphones preview, the brand describes them as "the most advanced active noise cancellation headphones" they've ever created. A few years on, that might have changed a little, but it doesn't change the fact that these headphones are awesome. They feature an over-ear design, with two 40mm titanium drivers built-in, complemented by neodymium magnets. That means they deliver crisp, precise, and punchy bass for an immersive listening experience, regardless of the music genre -- or podcast -- you're listening to.

Prime Day deals drop the price of this LG soundbar bundle from $600 to $297
The LG S75Q 3.1.2-channel soundbar with subwoofer with a TV.

If you're not impressed by the audio output of your TV, give it a boost by buying a soundbar from this year's Prime Day deals. If you don't want to go through all the offers, here's a recommendation -- the LG S75Q 3.1.2-channel soundbar, which is available for just $297. It's down to less than half its original price of $600 following a $303 discount from Amazon, but you're going to have to hurry with your purchase if you want to get the soundbar for this cheap. If you wait until the last minute of the shopping holiday, there's a good chance that you'll miss out.

Why you should buy the LG S75Q 3.1.2-channel soundbar
As the best TVs get thinner, they no longer have enough space for top-tier speakers. If you want the complete cinematic experience in your living room, you're going to have to invest in a soundbar like the LG S75Q 3.1.2-channel soundbar. Our guide on how to buy a soundbar explains what those numbers mean -- the "3" refers to the number of channels, namely left and right channels, plus a center channel that makes speech in movies and shows clearer, while the "1" means that the soundbar comes with a subwoofer that is dedicated for low-frequency audio like rumbling bass and explosion sounds. Lastly, the "2" means that there are two dedicated drivers that fire up to the ceiling to bounce sound down and create an enveloping effect to enable Dolby Atmos surround sound and DTS: X.
