The cheapest Shark FlexStyle Ive seen is on sale for one day only ahead of Cyber Monday

Mashable - Sun, 11/30/2025 - 23:14

Save $120: The Shark FlexStyle with two attachment styles (curling barrels and the oval brush) is on sale for $159.99, down $120 from its $279.99 list price. As a Best Buy Deal of the Day, these savings will only be live through Nov. 30.

Opens in a new window Credit: Shark Shark FlexStyle (with two attachment styles) $159.99 at Best Buy
$279.99 Save $120   Get Deal

Since the first time I reviewed the Shark FlexStyle, I've maintained its a significantly more cost effective than the Dyson Airwrap.

Ahead of Cyber Monday, Best Buy's deal of the day savings on the Shark FlexStyle make that especially true, bringing the price of the multi-styler down to an impressively low $159.99. Granted, these savings apply to the version of the multi-styler with only two attachment styles — the two 1.25-inch curling barrels and one oval brush attachment. Still, this knocks $120 off their $279.99 list price. The Shark also sits at less than half the price of the Dyson Airwrap Origin on sale, which comes with three attachments for $399.99.

SEE ALSO: 10 Cyber Monday deals better than Black Friday: Samsung's The Frame and the M4 MacBook Air

Unlike other multi-stylers on the market, Shark has a unique twisting mechanism in the base, which makes it easy to use the tool to dry hair without any specific drying attachment. With that in mind, the two included attachments feel nicely curated — curling and blowouts tend to be popular ways to style with multi-stylers. In my testing experience, these types of hair tools can also take up a lot of storage space, so if you don't see yourself wanting a lot of hot air styling versatility, this curated selection of attachments might be a huge advantage.

It is worth noting though this is the absolute cheapest price you can grab a FlexStyle, it isn't necessarily the best value. For just $40 more, you can get the full four attachment model (bought separately, attachments cost $40 a piece). Or for only $20 more, you can pick up four attachments of your choosing via the build-your-own option on Shark's website.

Still, it's not everyday you can grab a Shark FlexStyle for $159.99. If you want it at the absolute best price possible, you'll want to act before this deal is gone.

Apple gadgets have really been shining bright in the Cyber Monday deals department. The Apple AirTag has dropped to $17.97 at Walmart, which is 37% off its list price. We see excellent deals on the four-pack of AirTags pretty regularly, but single AirTag deals are rarer. The AirTag is the ring leader of Bluetooth trackers for iPhone users. As long as there's an Apple device nearby with Find My turned on, you'll be able to locate whatever you attach your AirTag to with ease.

Black Friday is officially in the rearview mirror, but the savings are still peaking, and Samsung is proving to be the biggest exception to the "Cyber Monday deals are worse" rule. Plenty of retailers like Amazon and Best Buy are fully in Cyber Monday mode, and while most deals linger, Samsung has delivered even better prices on several products. In fact, we've stumbled upon multiple Samsung products that are up to $100 cheaper now than they were during Black Friday.

Read on for a rundown of the best Samsung deals live ahead of Cyber Monday, and stay tuned as the season unfolds. We'll update this list with any new discounts that pop up

Samsung's 55-inch The Frame 4K QLED TV just dropped to a new record-low price of $797.99 at Amazon, making it a whopping $100 cheaper than its Black Friday price. The 2025 model features the Art Mode we all love, which turns your TV into a piece of gallery-worthy art, complete with a virtually glare-free screen that has a subtle, matte texture for a print-like finish. It also has 4K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, and the new NQ4 AI Gen2 Processor for enhanced picture and snappy menu response. This is the ultimate "why wait" purchase of the Cyber Monday season.

One of the top dogs of the Samsung Galaxy phone lineup, the S25 Ultra with 512GB of storage, has dropped to a new best price ever for Black Friday. If you're already sporting an S24 model, you probably can skip this upgrade, but if you're rocking an older handset and want to catch up with the times, this 2025 release is a great choice. It's a bit heavy on the AI, but it's got a lot of other perks, including a nearly 27-hour battery life that keeps you from being tethered to an outlet. It features an incredibly powerful Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, a new 50 MP ultra-wide lens, a fun "Now Brief" widget, and other S25 Ultra-exclusive AI features, along with new curved edges and a lighter build. Grabbing an unlocked model at Amazon saves you the trouble of coordinating a trade-in or data plan at a specific carrier. Plus, it's a lot cheaper at $1,057.91.

As a quick rule of thumb, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 is the sweet spot for gaming rigs in 2025, smashing out 4K 60FPS performance at a minimum and having DLSS 4 to crank extra frames on lower spec builds overall.

This build rocks an RTX 5080 with a solid CPU, 32GB DDR5 RAM (16GB is enough for high-spec gaming right now), and a spacious 2TB M.2 SSD. It's a beastly gaming rig and is $300 off, bringing this build to $2,899.99. I've also found some more great deals on pre-built gaming PCs, gaming laptops, mice, keyboards, and headsets.

Its overall look, feel, and features are something I'd expect from a watch that cost a few hundred dollars, and certainly not under $100. During Cyber Monday, the CMF Nothing Watch 3 Pro is back at its lowest price ever of $79 and that light green colorway is honestly irresistible.

Cyber Monday is, without a doubt, one of the best times to buy tech. Prices drop on laptops, TVs, and tablets, which is perfect timing with the holidays fast approaching. If you're getting ready to buy the latter, a tablet, now is a great time. We just spent the past few months re-evaluating our guide to the best tablets, meaning these portable devices are front of mind. And most importantly, they're now on sale just in time for Cyber Monday.

Most iPads are discounted ahead of Cyber Monday, but the best deal is on the iPad Air with M3 chip. We determined it's the best iPad for most people, with a superior processor to the basic iPad, allowing you to do any work task you'd do on a computer. But at $449, it's a fraction of the price of a laptop. It's currently $150 off of its $599 price tag, making it 25% off, one of the biggest discounts you'll find on any iPad for Cyber Monday.

Perhaps my favorite discovery of 2025 is the Lenovo Legion Tab Gen 3, which convinced me that iPads aren't the only tablets worth buying.

For Cyber Monday, it's down to $389.99, saving you $160 for a total of 29% off.

Having tested my way through the latest tablets, I won't lie, Amazon Fire tablets are not my favorite. I think they fall behind the crowd in terms of processing power, plus Amazon's app store pales in comparison to Apple's or Google's. That being said, if you want a cheap tablet, look at the Amazon Fire tablet. There are bigger discounts to be had on Amazon's tablets, but I think the best tablet to shop from Amazon is the Fire Max 11, which offers the best speed and processing.

You don’t need to email files to yourself or text yourself notes just to sync them between devices. There’s a better way to wirelessly share data between your phone and computer. I’ll show you two ways to do exactly that. In addition to sharing text and files, you will also get quality of life features. For instance, you can have your phone’s notifications sent directly to your PC, answer texts without picking up the phone, and even control the phone’s media playback using a Windows PC.

Just about every major retailer got in on the Ninja appliance deal action for Black Friday — and not gonna lie, the deals were pretty mid. But SharkNinja's official website has swooped in with an absolutely phenomenal Black Friday sale that's extending into Cyber Weekend. Not only are big-name Ninja gadgets like the Ninja Creami Scoop and Swirl, Ninja Slushi, Ninja Crispi, and Ninja Luxe Café on sale at record-low prices, but SharkNinja is throwing in a free gift with most of them.

It's not just some shoddy free $15 accessory, either. From insulated margarita glasses and travel mugs to a whole Ninja blender for free, these free gifts are all between $48 and $148 in value. (Shark vacuums and Shark hair tools come with awesome free stuff too, BTW.)

Though there's no question that the actual SharkNinja website is the best place to buy Ninja products on sale for Cyber Monday, there are still an overwhelming amount of deals to keep track of. We've pulled out the very best Ninja Cyber Monday deals as of Nov. 30 for super easy comparison. We’ve tested most of these products, so we know when a price drop is genuinely worth your money.

Best Ninja air fryer deal Opens in a new window Credit: Ninja Ninja Crispi 4-in-1 Portable Glass Air Fryer $159.95 at SharkNinja
$179.99 Save $20.04 Comes with a free spatula and Crispi container ($48 value) Get Deal Why we like it

It's been tricky to find a deal on the unique portable Ninja Crispi air fryer. The best we were getting was a measly $20 off (just an 11% discount) at Amazon — that is, until SharkNinja sweetened the deal by matching that sale price, and throwing in a free spatula and extra glass Crispi container for free. That's a $48 value for free, plus the $20 from the actual discount. For Cyber Monday, Amazon upped the ante by taking an additional $5 off, for a total of 15% off, but it still doesn't match the value you can find on Shark's website.

The Ninja Crispi is a Mashable fave and unlike any air fryer you've seen before. Rather than making you dump your fried food out from a basket or off of a tray, the Crispi air fries food directly in a grab-and-go glass container (just add a lid). The six-cup container is designed for personal meals (and can cook them in about seven minutes), while the four-quart container is large enough to cook a four-pound chicken and veggies in one go.

Fun bonus: The SharkNinja website has more color options than Amazon. Our favorite is Mango Clouds.

Best Ninja Creami deal Opens in a new window Credit: Ninja Ninja Creami Scoop and Swirl ice cream amker $279.99 at SharkNinja
$349.99 Save $70 save $120 with code DAY4 Get Deal Why we like it

Mashable shopping reporter Sam Mangino has tested just about every popular Ninja kitchen appliance that pops into your head. So take it from the expert when she declares the Ninja Swirl to be better and more fun than the original Creami. Even Oprah put it on the 2025 list of her favorite things.

The Swirl makes ultra-creamy yogurt like soft serve and doesn't require re-spins like the Creami, which primarily makes more hand-scooped-like ice cream. But any seasoned sweet toother could be in the mood for either depending on the day, making this Scoop and Swirl combo deal pretty unbeatable.

While the prices between SharkNinja and Amazon are currently matched, a promo code during Cyber Weekend brought the Scoop and Swirl for $229.99 compared to $279.99 at Amazon. We'll be keeping our eyes peeled to see if this promo pops back up before Cyber Monday is over.

The best Cyber Monday speaker deals: Shop new lows on Bose, JBL, Sony, Ultimate Ears

Mashable - Sun, 11/30/2025 - 21:19
The best Cyber Monday speaker deals at a glance: Best overall JBL Charge 6 $129.95 (save $70) Get Deal Best soundbar deal Amazon Fire TV Soundbar Plus $149.99 (save $100) Get Deal Best party speaker deal Bose Soundlink Max $299 (save $100) Get Deal Best home speaker deal Amazon Echo Studio $189.99 (save $30 with on-page coupon ECHOSTUDIO30) Get Deal

'Tis the season for blasting Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You", and you can't do that without a quality speaker. Fortunately, as we're officially in Black Friday season, you can grab plenty of speakers at their best prices of the year.

While Black Friday technically fell on Nov. 28 this year, retailers started sales way before the actual day and they're continuing on ahead of Cyber Monday. Speaker discounts from brands like Bose, JBL, Sony, and Amazon are quite pretty impressive. And we're even seeing deals from some heavy hitters from Sonos and Ultimate Ears now that we're well into the holiday sale season.

We'll be tracking the best speaker deals throughout Cyber Monday and updating this page with the latest and greatest prices.

$199.95 Save $70 Lowest price ever🔥 Get Deal Why we like it

While Mashable's shopping team has tested a lot of Bluetooth speakers, the JBL Charge 6 reigns supreme as our top pick for most people. At just 2 pounds, it's lightweight enough to tote around just about anywhere. It even comes with a handy removable strap for ultra portability. But don't let its size fool you — this baby is powerful enough to be used for an outdoor party. And as a bonus, it can even charge your other devices via USB-C (hence the name). The only downside is that its list price is $20 more than its predecessor. Fortunately, this Black Friday deal at Amazon and Best Buy drops it down to a more budget-friendly price of $129.95.

If your TV's picture and sound aren't quite on the same level, Amazon's Fire TV Soundbar Plus is an affordable way to give things a boost. While Amazon's basic Fire TV Soundbar wasn't anything to write home about, the Soundbar Plus really steps things up with three full-range speakers, three tweeters, and two woofers that pump out sound in every direction. It supports Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and DTS TruVolume, and features a dedicated center dialogue channel to keep voices crisp and clear. You can also use it as a home Bluetooth speaker when your TV is off. At $149.99, it's $100 off for a 40% discount and its lowest price on record.

The 20+ best Cyber Monday Lego deals: Save big on Star Wars, Botanicals, Disney, and more

Mashable - Sun, 11/30/2025 - 20:40

Black Friday and Cyber Monday always show up with great deals on toys, and Legos on sale are an absolutely crucial building block of Cyber Week toy deals. 2025 has already seen a strong wave of Black Friday Lego deals and they're not stopping as we head into Cyber Monday. You might break a sweat trying to keep tabs on which retailers have which set — unless you're reading Mashable's daily curated list of the best Lego deals from across the internet.

Lego sets we've seen on sale so far include coveted Lego Star Wars (including sets retiring soon), Wicked Lego sets, Lego Botanicals, and more, almost all at record-low pricing. If one catches your eye, grab it while it's still available.

We've gathered the very best early Cyber Monday Lego deals spotted at Amazon, Target, Best Buy, Walmart, and the Lego website. We'll keep this page updated with everything that drops (or sells out) throughout Cyber Monday and beyond.

The adorable Grogu with Hover Pram set is expectedly sold out after an incredible 50% discount. But that was hardly Amazon's only good Lego Star Wars deal. While it's not nearly as massive as the now-retired Imperial Star Destroyer that goes for $1,000 on eBay, the smaller Imperial Star Destroyer set is still 18 inches long and still in mega demand — and now at a record-low price as an Amazon Cyber Monday deal. Mini figures include Darth Vader, Commander Praji, an Imperial Gunner, Imperial Navy Trooper, a Stormtrooper, and the one that has fans in a spiral: the ultra-rare Cal Kestis mini fig.

This set is a surprisingly calming build that makes a perfect desk centerpiece. At over 1,300 pieces, $69.99 is a pretty good price-to-piece ratio for this kind of complex adult-focused model. It features fun details like a tiered fountain and tiny tiled pathways.

Lego's official Black Friday sale is now running through Cyber Weekend. Plus, spending unlocks free Lego sets that can't be purchased separately: Spend $170 to get the Lego Hot Chocolate Stand (40776) or spend $250 to get the Lego Mini Knight's Castle (40775).

This cute Target-exclusive Lego Botanicals duo is $6 cheaper than when we first saw it on sale on Nov. 18. Now, you'll get both the Lego Mini Orchid and the Lego Lucky Bamboo sets together for $41.99 (a 30% discount). They'd make a relaxing office or windowsill decoration for any plant lover.

Target's official Black Friday sale started on Nov. 23, and with it came several new Lego deals we hadn't seen the week prior. A few of our favorite early Black Friday Lego deals at Target sold out quickly, so if you see a must-have on sale, this may be your last chance to grab it!

The best DJI deals live ahead of Cyber Monday: Record-low deals on mics, drones, power stations

Mashable - Sun, 11/30/2025 - 20:20
The best Cyber Monday DJI deals at a glance: Best mic deal DJI Mic Mini $66 (save $53) Get Deal Best pocket camera deal DJI Osmo 360 $357.49 (save $192.50) Get Deal Best drone deal DJI Mini 4K Drone Combo $309 (save $80) Get Deal Best power station deal DJI Power 2000 $699 (save $1,200) Get Deal

Most major tech retailers' Cyber Monday sales are already live, and I'm seeing a bunch of DJI devices on sale right now. Popular gadgets like the DJI Mic Mini, the DJI Osmo 360 camera, and the DJI Air 3 drone are up to 45% off off at Amazon and Best Buy. As Mashable previously reported, a total ban on DJI drones in the United States could be implemented by the end of the year. With that uncertainty floating in the air, heavy discounts on DJI are needed now more than ever. Check out my top picks below.

SEE ALSO: Everything we know about the looming DJI drone ban in the United States

Editor's note: Currently, many DJI products are unavailable in the United States through official retailers, which is why we've included deals from third-party sellers at Amazon.

DJI Mic Mini

Mashable tech editor Timothy Beck Werth thinks Amazon's DJI Mic Mini discount is one of the best Cyber Monday tech deals available right now. This wireless mic, which is a huge hit with content creators, has a helpful magnetic attachment that can be clipped onto a shirt. Lead Shopping Reporter Bethany Allard also tested out the mic and had this to say: "If you need any degree of portability with your mic setup, the DJI Mic Mini offers a lot of versatility, and for a great value. That makes it a solid option for making vlogs and TikToks, and for anyone who feels less than confident with their tech skills — once I plugged the receiver into my phone, the mics connected easily and started working with the camera app automatically."

Amazon's Cyber Monday offer comes as a bundle which includes two DJI Mic Mini TX, one RX, and a few additional accessories.

Opens in a new window Credit: DJI DJI Mic Mini (2 TX + 1 RX) $66 at Amazon
$119 Save $53   Get Deal DJI Osmo 360 Camera

If you're a content creator looking to add an action camera to your setup, this discount on the DJI Osmo 360 is well worth a look. Whether you're capturing footage during the day or night, it can support 8K/30fps videos for up to 100 minutes and offers plenty of space to hold everything (105GB of built-in storage, to be exact). It just launched earlier this summer, making Amazon's 35% markdown especially impressive. It's also out of stock on DJI's website.

The Osmo 360 has a waterproof and cold-resistant design that's built to handle a variety of elements, so you don't have to worry about it getting damaged during a shoot. This bundle comes with the Osmo 360 camera, an Osmo Action Extreme Battery Plus (1950 mAh), a protective pouch, a lens cleaning cloth, a USB-C to USB-C PD cable, and a rubber lens protector.

$549.99 Save $192.50   Get Deal DJI Mini 4K Drone Combo

The Mashable shopping team is closely tracking deals on drones this Cyber Weekend, especially DJI models. One of the best we spotted so far features the DJI Mini 4K Drone Combo. Now 21% off for Cyber Monday, this bundle comes with a shoulder bag, two batteries, and a propeller holder, making it more convenient to take on the go (and giving you an additional 31 minutes of battery life over the standalone version). If you just want the drone without any extra accessories, you can pick up the DJI Mini 4K by itself for just $238.28 — a 20% savings.

$389 Save $80   Get Deal DJI Osmo Action 4

If you're looking for a cheaper action camera than the one listed above, the DJI Osmo Action 4 is also on sale right now during Amazon's Cyber Monday sale. It features a 155-degree FOV that supports up to 4K/60fps video recording and a durable build that's waterproof up to 18 meters. It can also handle cooler temperatures of -4 degrees Fahrenheit. No matter where you decide to take it, this little camera is ready for the adventure.

This Standard Combo will set you up with the DJI Osmo Action 4, a battery, a quick-release adapter mount, a horizontal-vertical protective frame, a curved adhesive base, an Osmo locking screw, a Type-C to Type-C PD cable, a lens hood, an anti-slip pad, and a DJI logo sticker.

$299 Save $90   Get Deal DJI Power 2000 Portable Power Station

A good portable power station can go a long way, and this is one of our favorites. We consider the DJI Power 2000 to be the best portable power station for content creators: "It proved its worth as a multitasker, charging up a phone and camera battery and cooking dinner in the air fryer at the same time," writes reviewer Lauren Allain.

It's normally listed for $1,899, but Amazon's Cyber Monday deal deal shaves its price by over half, bringing it down to $699 (which amounts to a 63% discount). If you're a content creator or someone looking to have backup power at home or on the go, this powerhouse is a worthy pickup with its 15 ports and expansion up to 22.5kWh.

$1,899 Save $1,200   Get Deal DJI Osmo Pocket 3

For content creators shopping around this Cyber Monday, here's another camera deal to check out. The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 vlogging camera features a one-inch CMOS sensor that can record up to 4K resolution videos at 120fps. It also has a touchscreen that can be rotated so you can choose to shoot horizontally or vertically.

There's a lot in this bundle: The camera comes with a protective cover, wrist strap, a handle with a 1/4-inch thread, and a Type-C to Type-C PD cable.

If you're filming frequently, it's important to keep the camera you're using steady as you capture. The DJI RS 4 Mini Gimbal Stabilizer can help with that, and it's currently discounted on Amazon for Cyber Monday. This stabilizer can support mirrorless cameras, vlog cameras, and phones up to 2kg/4.4lbs. It also comes with everything you need to get started, including the DJI RS 4 Mini gimbal, a tripod, a quick-release plate, an L-shaped multi-camera control cable, a USB-C charging cable, and a screw kit.

I hope you didnt buy the Bose QuietComfort headphones on Black Friday. Theyre $199 off today.

Mashable - Sun, 11/30/2025 - 20:10

UPDATE: Nov. 30, 2025, 1:55 p.m. EST The Bose QuietComfort headphones no longer come with a free $30 digital credit on Amazon, but they're still on sale for $159.99 during the retailer's Cyber Monday sale. This story has been updated accordingly.

Opens in a new window Credit: Bose Bose QuietComfort Headphones $159.99 at Amazon and Best Buy
$359 Save $199.01   Get Deal

A really good Black Friday deal on some premium noise-cancelling headphones just became a great Cyber Monday deal.

As of Nov. 30, the black Bose QuietComfort headphones are on sale for just $159.99 during Amazon and Best Buy's Cyber Monday events — that's a 55% savings and their lowest price ever. (They usually retail for $359, so ignore Amazon's deflated list price.)

In case you missed it — actually, I hope you missed it — these same headphones were selling for $199 at both retailers this past Black Friday. I hate to be the bearer of deals FOMO for anyone who bought them already, but this new Cyber Monday offer feels worth the hassle of returning and rebuying them. Amazon doesn't do post-purchase price adjustments, but Best Buy does.

SEE ALSO: Expert-picked early Cyber Monday deals: We found record prices on AirPods, Kindles, Lego, and PS5 consoles

A cheaper alternative to the flagship Bose QuietComfort Ultras, these over-ear cans are a great pair of headphones for most people. They don't have spatial audio support like their premium cousins, but they otherwise sound fantastic, offer a full day's battery life, and fit super comfortably (hence their name). As for ANC, we've found that they block outside sounds well in most environments.

"The active noise cancellation was phenomenal," writes Mashable's Samantha Mangino, our Bose QuietComfort reviewer. "The only weakness [they] showed was around significantly loud noises (like a train arriving on the tracks), which temporarily blew out the sound."

The best Cyber Monday earbuds deals: Latest price drops on AirPods, Sony, and Bose earbuds

Mashable - Sun, 11/30/2025 - 20:01

Though we've been seeing great deals all month, the Black Friday sales event is now extending into Cyber Weekend. And with it, the final chance to grab some of the best deals of the season (barring any surprise price drops in December).

Already, we've seen popular Black Friday deals start to drop away. The AirPods 4 with ANC for $99? Back up to $139. The Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen)? Back up to $249 at Amazon and at Best Buy (though the latter held the $216 sale price a bit longer). The classic $35 Amazon Echo Buds with ANC deal? Sold out at the time of writing.

That said, Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and Target are still hosting sales for Cyber Monday that feature great deals on earbuds. Walmart still has the Apple AirPods 4 down at $79.99 — it's not quite the $69 record low, but it beats the $129 price tag they've returned to at Amazon.The Panasonic Technics EAH-AZ100 are holding on to their rare markdown, still sitting at their lowest price ever at $222.99.

In this story, you'll find the best Cyber Monday deals already live on earbuds, including noise-cancelling earbuds, sleep earbuds, and sports buds. If you see a pair you like, you'll want to snag them — these deals aren't likely to last much longer.

The Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 earbuds are going to be more geared toward working out than everyday use, but for anyone looking for a good pair of exercise earbuds, you'd be hard pressed to find a better pair. The in-ear and ear hook dual design keeps these buds firmly in place while still providing optimal sound. Though the ANC isn't the most powerful, it's great for adding a little more focus to your workouts. Finally, the built-in heart rate monitor is a nice touch, especially if you don't already own a fitness tracker.

The Shokz OpenDots One are Mashable's favorite open earbuds for most people, but they can be tricky to catch on sale. In his review, Mashable contributor Alex Bracetti sang their praises, noting the sound quality that rivaled the more expensive Bose Ultra Open earbuds (also on sale), the 10 hours of battery life per charge, and great touch controls (which are not to be underrated, especially if you plan on using these earbuds while exercising).

The Anker Soundcore Sleep A20 earbuds aren't your only viable option for sleep earbuds, but at this sale price of $107.99, they may be the best value. While the newer A30 buds (also on sale) offer ANC and some white noise features, we don't think they necessarily justify a $72 price difference, making the A30 buds firmly an upgrade option, and the A20 buds the best option for most people. Even with just the passive noise cancellation, they were able to block standard nighttime sounds like noisy neighbors, street noise, and AC units. They're especially great if you plan on streaming audio.
