Android owners looking for an earbud upgrade are in luck. The Google Pixel Buds Pro 2 are back down to $169 at Amazon, Best Buy, and the Google Store, matching the lowest price we’ve seen.

Some colors are already sold out, however, so it’s worth checking multiple retailers if you don’t see your preferred option. Google Pixel Buds Pro 2

Where to Buy: $229 $169 at Amazon $229 $169 at Google Store $229 $169 at Best Buy The Pro 2 are great for Android owners and work particularly well with Pixel phones, which receive some extra tricks, including tighter Gemini integration. We praised the wireless earbuds for their improved design, which cut both weight and size while improving the comfort and fit. They have more powerful noise cancellation and a better transparency mode, though they still don’t quite match up to some of the best in the industry, like the latest Bose Ultra Earbuds. The default tuning leans towards clarity and crisp detail, rather than boosted bass, with both presets and a five-band EQ to adjust them to your liking. Read our full Pixel Buds Pro 2 review.

Other deals to consider

Nintendo Switch owners can pick up Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition from the Nintendo Store for just $5.99, a steep discount from the usual price of $29.99. The updated version of the first game in Gearbox’s storied looter-shooter series features “bazillions” of guns, visual upgrades, and all four of the DLC packs. The deal runs until 11:59PM PT on November 6th. The refurbished Fellow Aiden is on sale at Fellow’s online storefront for $299.95, a $100 discount. The coffee maker brews anywhere from a single cup to a full carafe of pour-over-quality coffee, with scheduling available both on the machine and via the Aiden app. Refurb units have been thoroughly tested and come with a one-year warranty, too, just in case there are any issues. Prime Members can score a 26 percent discount on ESR’s Cyclone Magnetic Charging Pad at Amazon, lowering the price of the silver and black units to $36.99 ($13 off).

Particle Physicists Are Getting a First Glimpse Into the ‘Zeptoverse’

The Large Hadron Collider has been slamming protons together for years. But recently, a proton collision produced an improbable result that is the first step toward exploring the so-called “zeptoverse”—a scale of reality many, many times smaller than an atom. This would be the smallest scale of the physical world ever explored and may defy our expectations of how physics works. While crashing protons together at nearly the speed of light,...
