Treat your ears to Sennheiser’s Momentum 2.0 with Amazon’s 49% discount

Music is undeniably a driving force and what better way to keep the momentum going than with a pair of noise-canceling headphones to block out distracting noise. The

Sennheiser Momentum 2.0

undeniably boasts some notable upgrades over its wired counterparts but it does come with a hefty $500 price tag. There may be plenty of other headphones out there but it sure is hard to beat the Momentum 2.0’s sheer and utter style, refinement, and sound quality. Lucky for you, Amazon gives your ears a treat with a 49% discount that makes it available at $254.

The Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 delivers in design and durability with a stainless steel frame. Sennheiser made improvements to the original momentum by boosting its portability and wearability. The frame is now collapsible and can be stowed in the included case while the headband and earcups are heavily padded with memory foam encased in leather. It may be a bit bulkier than it was but it sure puts comfort first with less pressure on your ears, better noise isolation, and it shouldn’t weigh you down at 260g.

If you’re gearing up for long listening sessions, the Momentum 2.0 stands up to the challenge with a battery life that lasts up to 22 hours with both Bluetooth and Noise Gard (hybrid active noise cancellation) employed. You just have to remind yourself to switch them off so as not to waste power but three presses on its multifunction button should be able to tell you how much charge you have left. Much credit is due to its Bluetooth 4.0 technology and NFC for wireless connectivity that allows you to sync two devices at the same time and up to eight compatible devices in the pairing list. The Momentum 2.0 lets you experience true wireless freedom but you may also go for a hardwired connection to either your phone or computer with a 3.5mm jack.

Should you be away from your device, you can easily access music playback controls, power/pairing button through your right ear cup. With the integrated VoiceMax technology, two microphones on either ear cup make for clear conversations on both ends with minimal to no interference. Momentum’s sound signature remains rich, full-bodied, dynamic, and of course with a certain level of refinement.

The

Sennheiser Momentum 2.0

are a set of on-ear headphones that is well complemented with active noise cancellation. It may be considered a luxury as it normally retails for $500 but with Amazon’s 49% price cut, a pair can be within palm’s reach for $245 less.

Amazon’s 4th of July sale brings a big discount on the Ring Video Doorbell
A person pressing the button of the Ring Video Doorbell 3.

Amazon helped the industry of smart doorbells take off with their Ring Doorbells, and while there are a lot of different options out there, whether you go for Amazon or another brand, the basic model is still great. It's also a great option if you want something budget-friendly, especially with this 4th of July discount from Amazon, bringing it down to $55 rather than $100, which is nearly 50% off.

Why you should buy the Ring Video Doorbell
If you look at our Ring Video Doorbell buying guide, you'll see a lot of versions of the Ring out there, but this version is the basic version, which is why it's so cheap. Even so, the Ring Video Doorbell 2 is a solid smart doorbell with a 1080p camera that lets you see everything. The included microphones mean you can hear everything as well, and you can talk back if you need to as well, which is always handy if you aren't at home. Luckily, the Ring Doorbell 2 supports both wired and wireless, which makes setup a lot easier, and you'll get a few months out of the battery, so you don't have to swap it out often.

2-in-1 laptop deal: HP Pavilion x360 is discounted from $800 to $500
hp pavilion family refreshed intel amd cpu x360 2018

If you want a thin and light productivity laptop without paying much, you can't go wrong with the HP Pavilion x360 Convertible, especially since it's also a convertible. Luckily, HP has a great deal running right now that discounts the X360 to $ 500 from $800, so it's well worth checking out if you're interested.

Why you should buy the HP Pavilion x360 Convertible
while The Pavilion x360 Convertible doesn't quite make our list of best laptops, it comes with an Intel Core i5-1235U, a mid-range CPU that will likely be more than enough for most consumers who need to get work or schoolwork done. While it won't be able to handle more complex things like video editing, the Intel Iris XE graphics means you can do some basic graphical editing if needed. You can also upgrade to an Intel Core i7-1255U for $150, but it's likely not worth it if you want a basic laptop for work or school. What we would upgrade is the 8GB of DDR4 RAM, either to the 12GB option for $40 or the 16GB for $80, probably the latter since it will provide you with the best quality of life upgrade, but the 12GB would still be good if you don't want to pay the extra $80.
