It's one thing to want a brand-new pair of Sony or Bose headphones, but it's another thing to actually pay for them. If you don't have an extra $400 lying around, the CMF by Nothing Headphone Pro ANC headphones are definitely worth a look — and right now, they're down to their lowest price ever.

As of Aug. 10, you can grab the CMF by Nothing Headphone Pro active noise-cancelling headphones for $69 on Amazon (down from $79). Saving $10 might not sound huge on paper, but a 13% drop brings these down to a damn good price for what you get. Reviews praise them for delivering "stellar" audio quality and comfort for cheap, and our sister site, PCMag, even gave them a 4-star review and an Editors' Choice award.

These headphones have physical bass and treble sliders right on the ear cup, so you can adjust your audio in real time (no app needed!). The noise cancellation blocks up to 40 dB of background noise, and there's a Transparency Mode button if you need to hear what's going on around you.

Bonus: You'll get up to 50 hours of playback with active noise cancellation turned on, and up to 100 hours if you leave ANC off. If you forget to plug them in before heading out, a quick five-minute charge gives you four hours of listening time.

SAVE $50: The Amazfit Balance 2 is on sale at Amazon for $249.99, down from the list price of $299.99. That's a 17% discount that matches the lowest we've seen at Amazon.

Now that summer is a mixture of sweltering temps and smoke, fall fitness goals seem more realistic. Running in the crisp air with crunchy leaves underfoot feels a bit more comfortable than getting out at 6 a.m. to avoid the summer heat. If you have fall fitness plans, check out this tracker that's willing to keep up.

As of Aug. 10, the Amazfit Balance 2 is on sale at Amazon for $249.99, marked down from the list price of $299.99. That's a 17% discount that takes $50 off the price and matches the lowest we've seen at Amazon.

The Amazfit Balance 2 does not mess around when it comes to providing useful stats for a workout. The fitness tracker has over 170 sport modes to choose from, including Hyrox and golf, with over 40,000 golf courses mapped around the world and available for download. On the watch face itself, you can access instant metrics like your training load, the weather, recovery time, a readiness score, and even more.

A major complaint of fitness trackers is poor battery life that leaves you crunched for a good time to remove the watch and let it recharge. The Amazfit Balance 2 aims to help with that issue since it gets at least 10 days of battery life. Amazfit says the 10 day lifespan applies to heavy use while typical use will get more like 21 days.

Build quality is also great on the Balance 2. It has a 1.5-inch AMOLED display that gets up to 2,000 nits of brightness. It's also certified for diving to depths of 45 meters or about 150 feet. If you're into Hyrox, the Amazfit has both competition and training modes that include the skierg, sled push, wall ball, and more.

Since the Amazfit Balance 2 is sitting at a record-low and we're getting ready for fall fitness, consider making the upgrade for under $250.

SAVE $800: As of Aug. 10, the LG 65-inch LX7B Gallery Mini LED 4K TV is on sale at Amazon for just $999.99 instead of its usual $1,799.99. That's 44% in savings.

LG unveiled its new Gallery TV back in January and it's essentially a direct competitor to Samsung's The Frame. We've seen it go on sale a few times since then, but it has officially dipped down below $1,000 for the first time.

As of Aug. 10, you can upgrade to the LG 65-inch LX7B Gallery Mini LED 4K TV for just $999.99. That's 44% or $800 cheaper than its typical list price of $1,799.99 and its lowest price on record.

Like The Frame, LG's Gallery TV features an ultra-slim design with hardly any bezel, an attachable frame, and a matte display, which gives it the illusion of framed artwork when nobody's watching it. You'll have the option to display over 5,000 different works of art from LG Gallery Plus or design your own.

As a TV itself, it's pretty great, too. Thanks to Mini LED backlighting, you'll notice brighter highlights and deeper blacks, while Dynamic QNED color will ensure colors are vivid and accurate. With a matte display, glares from lights and windows won't be a problem either. An auto brightness control will even adjust the screen based on the lighting in your room for convenience.

Mashable's TV expert calls the LG LX7B Gallery TV one of the best of 2026 so far. If you've had an art TV on your wishlist, now's a particularly good time to make the leap.

If you live in the U.S., no longer have to jump through hoops to install a third-party Android app store on your phone. Weeks after Google loosened its policies, the first alternative shop is available through the Play Store.

SAVE $170: As of Aug. 10, the Eufy Omni C20 robot vacuum and mop combo is down to $379.99 at Amazon, from $549.99 — a 31% discount.

The Eufy Omni C20 robot vacuum and mop combo is down to $379.99 at Amazon, a 31% cut off its $549.99 list price. That's $170 in savings on a vacuum that mops, empties itself, and cleans its own mop pads.

The base station empties the dustbin on its own, and it washes and dries the mop pads with warm air after every run, so you're not touching a dirty mop pad or dumping a bin every few days. Eufy says you can go up to 60 days between manual empties, depending on your household.

It vacuums and mops in the same pass instead of two separate cleanings. The mop pads spin and press down with force to scrub off dried spills on hardwood or tile, and they lift up automatically when they hit carpet, so your rugs don't get soaked. If a spot needs extra attention, the app lets you send it back over that area for a second pass.

Suction goes up to 7,000 Pa and adjusts automatically based on how dirty the surface is. Pet owners get a useful extra here: a comb flips down mid-clean to loosen hair wrapped around the roller brush, so you're not cutting tangled fur out of it yourself.

SEE ALSO: Robot vacuums just got the FCC drone treatment. How are robot vacuum brands responding to the ban?

At just over 3 inches tall, it slides under couches, beds, and low cabinets that trip up bulkier robot vacuums. It runs about two hours on a charge, and if it doesn't finish before the battery dies, it heads back to the base to recharge and picks up where it left off.

Consider your floors handled. Grab the Eufy Omni C20 at Amazon before the price bounces back.

I wouldn't believe the HP OmniBook 3 16's battery life test results if I hadn't witnessed them myself. This new 16-inch laptop with Qualcomm's starter Snapdragon X chip lasted 40 hours and 14 minutes before dying, effortlessly securing its place as our new battery life champ.

It dethrones last year's OmniBook 5 14, which also had a Snapdragon processor. (Déjà vu!) And it ran for nearly twice as long as the M5 Apple MacBook Pro, our longest-lasting MacBook. If you're looking for the best battery life laptop of 2026, your hunt ends here.

As a whole, the OmniBook 3 16 isn't quite worthy of our coveted Mashable Choice Award (though it's still good enough to earn a Mashable Selects badge). Similarly priced laptops like the Acer Swift 16 AI and Asus Zenbook A16 offer way more power with nicer build quality and above-average, if not record-breaking battery life. Still, its multi-day stamina makes the new Omnibook 3 16 a compelling candidate for on-the-go workers who hate fighting over outlets at cafés and airports.

Smart shoppers will hold out until it goes on sale, which luckily happens often. Good discounts turn it into a great big-screened budget option.

The HP OmniBook 3 16 at a glance Before I looked at its spec sheet, I really thought the HP OmniBook 3 16 had an OLED display. It's very colorful with deep blacks. Credit: Haley Henschel / Mashable

What I liked: Its older entry-level processor holds its own in multi-core scenarios. It runs super cool and quiet. It has a huge, colorful display. It's pretty thin. Its keyboard is comfortable to type on. Its webcam and mic are above-average. It's frequently on sale. And that battery life, man. Ridiculous.

What I didn't like: Its design is boring. There's some give to its lid and keyboard deck. Its display is dim and glossy, so it's difficult to see its picture in bright light. There are some compatibility concerns with Snapdragon chips. Its wireless technology is outdated. For what you get, it's too expensive at its regular sticker price: This year, I've tried $1,700-ish laptops that are way faster, equipped with OLED touchscreens, and made with zero plastic.

Pricing and availability

The OmniBook 3 16 starts at $999.99 with 8GB RAM and 256GB of storage on HP's website. The model I tested, with way more memory and storage, costs $1,629.99. That's not an awful deal in this day and age, but again, the competition gets much less intense when it's on sale. At the time of writing, it was 28% to 47% off, depending on the configuration, and the base model was going for just $529.99.

For $10 more, HP will let you change its color to warm gold, mica silver, or starlight blue. For $80 extra, you can add touchscreen capabilities.

Amazon and Staples both carry models that are better deals at full price versus buying direct, but they're not customizable.

HP OmniBook 3 16 performance

The OmniBook 3 16's Snapdragon X chip is an entry-level processor from 2025. Its single-core performance is, as expected, basic; it's much less snappy than the MacBook Neo's repurposed iPhone A18 Pro chip. But its multi-core performance is relatively impressive, rivaling that of last year's upper mid-range Intel Core Ultra 7 258V chip or a brand-new base Core Ultra 5 325 chip. It's well-suited for everyday productivity.

FYI: That Snapdragon chip is ARM-based, so it's not ideal for gaming or running specialty apps. Read my guide to the best Windows laptops to learn more about ARM compatibility issues.

On a more positive note, I couldn't get the OmniBook 3 16's fan to turn on during a stress test in which I opened tons of browser tabs and apps simultaneously. Most laptops get a little warm during this exercise, but it stayed completely, remarkably cool.

HP OmniBook 3 16 design and build quality The HP OmniBook 3 16's touchpad is slightly off-center to align with its keyboard, which might bug some folks. Credit: Haley Henschel / Mashable

This is a plain-looking laptop with average build quality. Its aluminum top cover and plastic keyboard deck both have some flex in the middle. Its lid wiggles whenever you adjust its position, and its hinge is a little creaky. At least it's pretty slender for its size, if not particularly lightweight.

Most of the HP OmniBook 3 16's ports are located on its left-hand side. Credit: Haley Henschel / Mashable

The OmniBook 3 16's display is a highlight. Its colors are so vivid and its contrast so good that I wondered if it had an OLED panel at first — it's actually just a regular IPS screen. Note that it looks best indoors because it's dim and glossy.

The OmniBook 3 16 has a backlit keyboard with a pleasant snappy-squishy (but not mushy) feel and a numpad. Happily, its mechanical touchpad doesn't rattle with every finger tap like the one on last year's OmniBook 5 14.

Who should get the HP OmniBook 3 16? Big screen, bigger battery life. Credit: Haley Henschel / Mashable

The OmniBook 3 16 is a decent everyday laptop for remote workers, commuters, and travelers who want a big, entertainment-ready screen and freakishly good battery life. It's made for all-nighters and long-haul trips. Again, try to buy it on sale, when it's at its peak value.

Where I live, the weather is the default subject for small talk. Weather apps can give you a lot of information about your local weather conditions, but I wanted a better option. A cheap ESP32 project turned out to be far more useful than relying on my phone.

The relationship between the U.S. and China has been interesting to say the least. Politically, the two countries could not be more different, but economically there has been little choice but to engage in trade and business.

Foldable phones have been around for a while, but I still regularly get people asking me whether they're going to break in half.

On Sunday, YouTuber JerryRigEverything tried to do just that to Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8...and couldn't.

SEE ALSO: Review: The Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8 makes phones interesting again

JerryRigEverything put Samsung's foldable through his typically rough set of tests to see how it'll hold up. This included scratching the display with a utility knife and burning it with a lighter. The damage was there, of course, but it wasn't fatal.

Then, JerryRigEverything tried the ultimate test by bending the phone in the direction opposite of its folding mechanism. Again, there was significant damage to the phone's hinge, and this is something that you should never do to your phone. At the end of it, however, the phone was still alive and kicking, and there was barely any damage to its display.

Being limited to one device only, the test obviously isn't perfect, but it's a testament to how far Samsung has progressed in building its foldable phones to last. As a reminder, check out what the same YouTuber's tests did to the original Samsung Galaxy Fold a few years back.

Is your Samsung Galaxy Watch struggling to make it through the day? There are plenty of tips and tricks out there for squeezing more battery life out of it, but if you've tried them all and still feel like you could use a little more juice, it's worth digging into the Galaxy Watch's developer mode. There are a few settings in there you can toggle that can give you a slight but real improvement in overall battery life.

I share my Amazon account with my wife, as it doesn't make sense for us to both pay for a Prime subscription. Mostly it's fine, but around birthdays and Christmas, things get tricky. Orders for my wife often arrive with my name on them, so she regularly opens packages addressed to me assuming that they're hers. I was about to order her birthday presents, so I wanted a way to track the Amazon package so I could grab it and hide it as soon as it was delivered.

Samsung's passport-sized phone is built for all your scrolling, binge-watching and reading. The $1,900 price is steep, but it has some strong selling points that won me over.

American filmmaker Jane Schoenbrun loves fucked-up horror stories. In 2021, they broke through with We're All Going to the World's Fair, a gnarly coming-of-age story with a creepypasta vibe. Three years later, Schoenbrun delivered the critically heralded I Saw the TV Glow, which used a fictional Buffy the Vampire Slayer-like series to explore emerging trans identity. Now, with Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, Schoenbrun offers a tale of queer joy in the mold of a slasher comedy.

SEE ALSO: 'Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma' review: Laughing in the face of 'elevated horror'

Hacks' Hannah Einbinder stars as Kris, a queer indie filmmaker entrusted with resurrection the "zombie IP" that is Camp Miasma. The iconic slasher film begat eight increasingly deranged sequels and immortalized its Southern-fried Final Girl, played by Billy Presley (Gillian Anderson). To get the reboot right, Kris travels to the abandoned summer camp where the first movie was shot so she can meet Presley, who's now an eccentric recluse. Together, they talk fried chicken, desire, and Little Death (Jack Haven), the slasher who rises from the lake to wreak havoc on Camp Miasma counselors.

To dive into the depths of Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, Schoenbrun and Einbinder visited Mashable's Say More studio to speak with Entertainment Editor Kristy Puchko. Together, they explored the inspiration points for this surreal and silly slasher, celebrated the return of horny movies, and (naturally!) compared gummies and talked Counting Crows.

Be warned: If you've not seen Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma yet, there are some light spoilers ahead.

Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma is now playing, only in theaters.

TL;DR: Ascentiz just made its H Series exoskeletons available for purchase: The H Pro is $1,199 (down from $1,499), and the H Ultra is $1,599 (down from $1,999) at launch.

Exoskeletons are having a moment, and Ascentiz just gave everyday walkers, hikers, and cyclists a reason to pay attention. The company, which created the world's first modular exoskeleton, has launched its H Series, now available for purchase: the H Pro and the H Ultra.

Both are built around hip-level assistance that syncs with your natural gait rather than overriding it, stepping in to help during key phases of a stride, like lifting your leg or pushing off the ground. The idea is to cut down on effort, not replace how you move.

The H Pro is the lighter, more everyday option, built for walking, fitness, and lighter outdoor activity, with up to 25 kilometers of assisted range. Ascentiz says it delivers up to 1,000W of peak boost, making strides feel about 40% lighter, and it weighs just 5.5 pounds.

The H Ultra is the heavier-duty version, with a carbon-fiber and titanium-alloy frame, a dual-battery setup that extends range to 50 kilometers, and higher power output for longer trips. Both are IP54-rated for weather resistance and designed to run quietly.

The H Pro normally runs $1,499 but is currently $1,199, a $300 discount. The H Ultra normally costs $1,999 and is down to $1,599, a $400 discount. Both are available online at Ascentiz, and Ascentiz plans to display the lineup at IFA Berlin starting Sept. 4.

Electric vehicles have become the default recommendation for anyone looking to save money on fuel, but they aren't always the smartest choice. For college students balancing tuition, housing, and everyday expenses, the upfront cost of a vehicle is only part of the equation. Charging access, reliability, and long-distance usability can end up being just as important as running costs.

We’ve seen plenty of Scene Boxes add flair to Magic: The Gathering expansions like Marvel Super Heroes for a fair price, and now, the bad guy-focused collection is under $30 on Amazon for the first time. 

As of Aug. 10, Amazon has cut the price of the Magic: The Gathering Marvel Super Heroes Villains Unleashed Scene Box to $29.98. Knocking $12.01 off the $41.99 list price, this is a 29% discount on a listing sold by third-party seller Collectors Expedition but shipped from Amazon directly — with free delivery for Aug. 15 at the time of writing, or sooner for Prime members. 

This is the lowest price we’ve ever seen for the Villains Unleashed Box at the retailer (confirmed by price tracker camelcamelcamel), making it very hard not to want to jump on it if you’re a keen Magic player who’s eager to see more of the superhero-themed expansion.

On the other hand, TCGplayer is still cheaper if getting the lowest possible price matters most. Complete, unopened boxes are listed at $24, including shipping, while the trading card platform’s current market price for unopened boxes is $18.96. Just watch out for the cheaper-looking listings on the page, as some are only for the art cards or other parts of the box rather than the fully sealed version. 

As one of two Scene Boxes released for Magic: The Gathering’s Marvel Super Heroes set, Villains Unleashed’s six Traditional Foil Borderless Scene Cards line up to create a single illustration by Kieran Yanner, putting Ultron, Thanos, M.O.D.O.K., Absorbing Man, Titania, Abomination, and Loki together across one villain-packed display.

Those six playable cards are joined by six Art-Only Scene Cards and a paper display easel, so you can show off the artwork without covering it in rules text — and enjoy having these Marvel villains in your deck if you so wish. Plus, you’re getting three Marvel Super Heroes Play Boosters, each containing 14 Magic cards. Every pack includes one to four cards of Rare rarity or higher, along with a Traditional Foil card. 

House of the Dragon has ended another season of brutal warfare, political intrigue, and major dragon action with one hell of a finale.

Season 3's final episode saw Queen Rhaenyra (Emma D'Arcy) and Lord Ormund Hightower (James Norton) alike deploying some brutal tactics, the tragic deaths of major characters, and a brotherly reunion of the coldest order.

But perhaps you still have some questions after the House of the Dragon finale? Here's Mashable's guide to the biggest moments, from prophetic tapestries to how it compares to George R. R.

Amazon has dropped a great discount on one of our favorite headphones, the Nothing Headphone (a). As of Aug. 10, you can snag these new 2026 headphones for $159, a big $40 cut from their original price of $199.

This deal price is pretty close to their lowest-ever point at Amazon. Price tracker camelcamelcamel notes that the best-ever price was $151.05, so there's only a few dollars in it. Plus, every color is discounted to this price, so you can choose between the black, pink, white, or yellow pair and save.

We think these headphones are a top pick for their battery life, writing in our roundup of the best headphones that "Our standard before was set at 60 hours, which is a great deal higher than the 30 hours you'll find on the Bose and Sony headphones on this list. The Nothing Headphone (a) absolutely blows that standard out of the water, offering 75 hours per charge with ANC on, and 135 hours without."

That's certainly not all, though. The roundup also adds that the "sound quality is clear and robust, the noise cancellation will get the job done (if not flawlessly), and the on-ear controls are truly a thing of perfection." Our review from Mashable's Bethany Allard even called them "the best headphones from the brand yet," so why not take this opportunity to grab them on sale?

Amazon may not have them discounted for long, so act fast to save on the Nothing Headphone (a) while the deal is still live.
