We’ve got a new pair of our favorite noise-canceling headphones, and we’re giving them away to celebrate the recent relaunch — err, refresh? — of our weekly deals newsletter. All you have to do is sign up for the new and improved Verge Deals, which continues to serve as a free weekly summary of some of the best tech deals on the web.

The headphones we’re gifting are none other than the Sony WH-1000XM5 (a $399.99 value), which feature excellent active noise cancellation, a comfy fit for lengthy listening sessions, and detailed, balanced sound. Unsurprisingly, they have been a mainstay of our holiday gift guides since they launched in the middle of 2022, and they remain one of our top picks when it comes to noise-canceling headphones to this day. That’s partly due to their 30-hour battery life, as well as their improved call quality over prior models.

Win a mystery bag from The Verge brimming with free tech

Peak Design’s ultra-sleek Everyday Backpack is just one of the freebies you could win.

Want a new backpack and a smattering of tech accessories without sacrificing your hard-earned spending cash — or worse — your rent money? As it turns out, we just so happen to be giving away a bag chock-full of freebies to one lucky Verge reader.

Why? Well, besides the fact that we love you all, we have a bunch of older gadgets just lying around the office that we no longer need. So we figured: why not do a little preemptive spring cleaning and give them away to our loyal readers? It’s a win-win, really.

All you need to do is take a few seconds to submit an entry, and if selected, you’ll win a bag and some free gear worth about $500 in total. And this isn’t just any run-of-the-mill bag, either; it’s the Peak Design Everyday Backpack, which typically retails for $219.95 and offers up to 20L of internal storage. The sleek weatherproof backpack also comes with space to store a 16-inch MacBook Pro and handy dividers for organizing cameras, lenses, and a range of other equipment.

Superman and Batman. Cable and Deadpool. Spider-Man and Wolverine. These are some of the most storied and treasured — if sometimes unlikely — team-ups the world has ever seen. Well, we’ve got another one to add to the list because The Verge and The Strategist are teaming up to offer you a chance to win a backpack filled with nifty tech toys and gadgets.

This is one of the biggest sweepstakes we’ve ever offered before, which is only fitting when you’ve got two publications that run the gamut of coverage for tech, culture, and savvy internet shopping. We’ve compiled a bunch of swag and free tech and jam-packed them into a sleek, light blue Timbuk2 Vert Backpack. The value of this giveaway totals out to about $937, including the bag, which is made of a sturdy canvas with up to 22L of internal volume and space to store a laptop up to 17 inches in size.
