Happy May the fourth, everyone! That means two things: a slew of discounts on Star Wars gear and accessories, and a brand new deal round-up. Our latest roundup of the best tech deals from around the web includes a number of deals on Star Wars games and gear, as well as Apple AirTags and a pair of our favorite inexpensive wireless, noise-canceling headphones, Anker’s Soundcore Q35.
Apple’s AirTags proved to be highly capable in our review. As we noted, the more Apple devices that are in proximity of your lost, Air-Tagged item the better. That doesn’t make them the best choice for people more worried about losing something on a hike in the woods. Tile Mate, which is also on sale, is a better choice for such scenarios. Still, AirTags are extremely capable trackers in ideal conditions. In fact, we were a bit scared by how well they worked. In our review, we note some of the “anti-stalker” features Apple built into them, and those features have been bolstered since then. Snagging this four-pack saves you $11 off the typical $100 price.
Anker’s Soundcore Q35 is the latest version of our favorite inexpensive over-the-ear, ANC wireless headphones. They do a decent job of noise cancelation, particularly with low-tone rumbles like trains and planes. The Q35 is also lightweight and comfortable to wear for long periods, delivering bass-heavy sound and 40 hours of continuous listening. The latest $98 price matches its all-time low from the holidays.
Elsewhere around the web are discounts on a range of Roombas, a couple of Chromebooks, Kindles, some Apple iPads and Beats headphones, and a variety of Star Wars paraphernalia. Each retailer has a set of their own Star Wars discounts, so check the full list below for some standouts, as well as the rest of today’s deals.
