Sony's original LinkBuds were nothing to write home about, but their successor, the LinkBuds S, have a lot to love about them. "These buds have mighty noise cancellation features, immersive sound sure to please, and are also super portable and workout-friendly," former Mashable intern Stacia Datskovska wrote in her review. They may not be the best-looking buds on the market, but they actually stay put in your ears and surround you with sound. The noise cancellation is above average, making a noisy commute or flight much more bearable. Plus, they're on sale for only $128 at Amazon as of May 21 — that's a savings of 36% and the biggest price drop we've seen on these buds so far this year.
Looking for a new phone with a dose of nostalgia on the side? The Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 5 is a "perfectly competent foldable phone that’s competitively priced with traditional flagships," according to Mashable reviewer Alex Perry. It may not be as exciting as the Z Fold, but it's also not as expensive — especially with its current discount. Unlike its predecessor, the Z Flip 5's Flex Window is actually big, bright, and vibrant enough to be useful. Otherwise, it's largely the same in specs. Reminiscent of flip phones of the past, with enough edge to be enticing, the Flip 5 is certainly worth a second look if you're in the market for a new phone. Snag an unlocked 512GB model on sale for $849.99 at Amazon as of May 21 — that's 24% off its usual price and a new all-time low.

The air quality in your home could always be better — especially when spring allergies roll in. The Dyson Purifier Cool TP10 can keep dust, debris, dog hair, odors, gases, and other pollutants at bay with its fully sealed HEPA filtration and Air Multiplier technology. Its integrated sensors analyze and diagnose airborne pollutants in real time, so you'll always have insights into your air quality. There are pre-set intervals of 1, 2, 4, and 8 hours, night mode monitoring, and up to 350-degree oscillation to keep you cool and breathing the best air possible. Of course, it also boasts Dyson's signature futuristic bladeless design. Usually $429.99, it's on sale as of May 21 for just $299 at Amazon — that's 30% in savings and its lowest price on record.
This third-generation Echo Show 8 is an upgraded version of the second-gen iteration, which we loved. It features a centered 13MP front camera for clearer calls, a dynamic interface that adjusts what's on the screen based on how near or far you are to the device, and spatial audio for more enjoyable listening. Of course, like its predecessor, it can also be used as a hub for everything from controlling your lights and security cameras to making video calls and streaming shows. "As a central hub for your home, it really can’t be beaten," Mashable's SaVanna Shoemaker said in her review of the second-gen device. As of May 21, the newest Echo Show 8 is on sale for only $94.99 — that's a savings of 37% and just $5 shy of its all-time low price.
