Just released this past August, this is the first time we’ve seen the Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 get this big of a price drop. As of Nov. 8, you can snag a pair in any of the four color varieties for just $179. That’s 22% in savings. The second generation of these buds promise to trump their predecessors in every way. Like most tech in 2024, they’re AI-powered. They feature a new Tensor A1 Chip for better audio processing and active noise cancellation, boosted battery life, a more comfortable fit, and a lighter, smaller, and more secure design. We haven’t had a chance to test them out, but our friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) gave them 4 out of 5 stars and called them “great for Pixel users and good for everyone else.”
We haven’t had a chance to review Fitbit’s Versa 4, but we did love its predecessor, the Versa 3. Our sister site PCMag (which is owned by Mashable’s publisher, Ziff Davis) reviewed it, however, and called it “an excellent fitness-focused smartwatch with welcome design improvements over the last generation.” Is it a perfect smartwatch? No, but it does sport a larger selection of built-in fitness features, notable design and usability upgrades, and a more responsive touch screen. We just wish it had more sensors and third-party app support to expand its versatility. The Versa 4 typically goes for $199.95, but as of Nov. 8, you can grab it on sale for $119.95. That’s 40% in savings and about $15 shy of its record-low price.
We’ve tested lots of headphones at Mashable and the Sony WH-1000XM5s are some of our favorites. Our Deputy Reviews Editor Miller Kern gave them a nearly perfect rating and a Mashable Choice award for their impeccable sound quality, great noise cancellation, and customizable sound. They also packs up to 30 hours of battery life, crisp call clairty, voice assistant support, comfy ear cushions, and a “quick attention” ambient mode feature that can help you tune into your surroundings in a flash. As of Nov. 8, they’re back down to their record-low price of $298 at Amazon. That’s 25% in savings.

Shine a light on what’s happening outside of your home — literally — with the Google Nest Floodlight Cam. As of Nov. 8, it’s down to just $189 instead of $279.99 at Amazon, saving you 32%. That’s the lowest price we’ve seen on this model. It packs the same Google Nest Cam (one of our top picks) features you know and love, but adds a bright LED floodlight and 180-degree motion detection with built-in intelligence that can help you decipher between a grazing deer, a car pulling up, or a mischievous person. It’ll send you alerts directly through the Google Home app to let you know which one it is with no subscription requires.
