The Beats Solo 4 support lossless audio and work with both iOS and Android devices. | Image: The Verge If you want a pair of Apple-made wireless headphones that work just as well with Android as with iOS, the Beats Solo 4 are down to around $129.95 ($70 off) at Amazon, Best Buy, and Target. That matches the best price we’ve seen so far this year. While each retailer is offering discounts on the black, light pink, and blue color schemes, Target also has several additional discounted options, including gold. Beats Solo 4 Where to Buy: $199.95 $129.95 at Amazon $199.95 $129.99 at Best Buy $199.95 $129.99 at Target Unsurprisingly, the foldable wireless headphones deliver high-quality sound, thanks to support for lossless audio over the included USB-C or 3.5mm audio cable. Like other recent Beats products, the Solo 4 also support native software features in both Android and iOS, including compatibility with Apple’s Find My and Google’s Find Hub, making them easier to track down if they go missing. Android users also get conveniences like automatic device switching, though only iPhone owners can activate head-tracking spatial audio. We’re big fans of the Beats Solo 4 for other reasons, too. They can last nearly two full days on a single charge, and once the battery runs out, you can keep listening in wired mode. It’s a shame they lack active noise cancellation, but their comfortable memory foam ear cups provide decent passive noise isolation in a pinch, helping block out some noise as you listen.

The tiny adapter features four interchangeable plug types (A, C, G, and I), letting you charge your devices in over 200 countries. It also comes with a pair of USB-A ports and another two USB-C ports, so you can charge up to five gadgets at once. Bear in mind, though, they share up to just 15W total, meaning the adapter is better suited for powering smaller devices or recharging your gear overnight. Woot is selling a refurbished Amazon Smart Thermostat with a one-year warranty for $32.99 through June 8th, which saves you $47 compared to buying it new. The thermostat is especially impressive at this price because it’s capable of adapting to your routines. It works with most 24-volt HVAC systems and integrates well with Amazon Alexa, so you can control the thermostat with your voice. Plus, it’s easy to track your energy usage in the app, which is useful if you want to keep your monthly bills low this summer and beyond. Read our review. After climbing significantly in price over the last year, you can now buy the Victrola Stream Carbon for $799.99 ($200 off) from Amazon and Victrola, which is the original MSRP and the second-best price we’ve seen this year. The two-speed, belt-driven turntable can stream directly to Sonos speakers without any extra equipment and delivers impressive audio quality. It’s also quick to set up, and as you might expect from a high-end turntable at this price, it features great built quality, with a durable metal control knob, faceplate, and inlay. Read our review.
