Amazon discounts AirPods and AirPods Pro in time for 4th of July

By

Now is a fantastic time to upgrade your earphones to the Apple AirPods or Apple AirPods Pro with some great discounts from Amazon in what can be considered early 4th of July sales. From only $140, you can enjoy the delights of the stylish and practical AirPods.

Apple AirPods with Charging Case — $140, was $160

Now on sale for $20 off the usual price, the Apple AirPods with Charging Case are an ideal budget purchase if you’re keen to try out Apple’s wireless earphones. They’re super simple to use, taking seconds to set up and do anything with. A simple double-tap plays your music, while you can always yell ‘Hey Siri’ to get started. They sound good, too, and promise a comfy fit in your ear. You might miss out on wireless charging but these are easily charged up via a Lightning connector so that’s no great loss, and ideal for those counting their pennies.

Got a little more money to play around with? These Apple AirPods come with a Wireless Charging Case that can be simply placed on a Qi-compatible charging mat or charged via the Lightning connector. It’s a far more convenient solution than using a cable and right now, you can enjoy the convenience for only $170, down from $200. Effectively, you’re paying $30 for the charging case but it’s amazing how quickly you get used to wireless charging and begin wondering how you lived without it. Much like the other AirPods, they’re super simple to use and they look good, too. Expect great sound quality as before.

Amazon’s best Fire TV Stick is 55% off in its 4th of July sale
Two Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K Max sticks in hand.

While most modern TVs tend to have some form of smart TV platform, that doesn't mean it will be any good or work with your ecosystem. That's why streaming sticks like the Fire TV are great; it works for TVs without a smart TV platform and allows you to be part of an ecosystem you're familiar with. There's even a great 4th of July sale going on right now on the Fire TV Stick 4K Max from Amazon, bringing it down to $25 rather than $55.

Why you should buy the Fire TV Stick 4K Max
With so many options for Fire Sticks, it can be hard to pick between the Fire TV Stick vs. Fire TV Stick 4K Max vs. Fire TV Cube, especially if you've just started taking a look at Fire TV sticks. Well, the long and short of it is that the Fire TV Stick 4k Max is likely what you want to aim for since the Cube has a ton of more complex features and has an associated higher cost, while the Fire TV Stick 4k is an older version of the Max that's 60% less powerful. One of the most significant upgrades over the previous version is the inclusion of Wi-Fi 6, which gives you a more stable and faster connection overall when working with Wi-Fi 6 routers. It also means you don't have to spring for Amazon's ethernet adaptor, which is overpriced and clunky; at that point, you might as well go for the Cube.

Walmart may have won the 4th of July sales with this 50-inch TV deal
The onn. 50-inch 4K Roku TV hangs on a wall.

If you're not familiar with onn., it's a company that specializes in budget TVs, often in the 4k range, so they're a great option if you want to upgrade your home theater setup without breaking the bank. In fact, there's even this 4th of July deal from Walmart that discounts a 50-inch onn. 4K TV down to just $198 instead of $238, allowing you to grab a 4k TV for less than $200.

Why you should buy the onn. 50-inch 4K TV
There's a lot to like about the 50-inch onn. TV besides the price, and while 4k has become somewhat commonplace nowadays, it's still nice to see on a budget TV. Similarly, while you won't get something like HDR10+, you still get HDR10 and its excellent contrast ratio and brightness. The image fidelity is also impressive for a budget TV, so you can watch all your content and play games without worrying about getting a sub-par TV. Another thing you don't often see on budget TVs is Dolby Audio, and even though that will work for most folks, we encourage you to check out some of these soundbar deals instead; they're just as cheap and will offer much better sound.
