Twelve South’s PlugBug does more than power your devices. Thanks to built-in support for Apple’s Find My network, you can also track it and the gadget it’s charging while traveling. Right now, both the 50W model with two USB-C ports and the 70W four-port models are $30 off at Amazon, bringing them down to $39.99 and $79.99, respectively.

If the launch of Halo: Campaign Evolved has you feeling nostalgic, Walmart has the Gel Blaster Halo Plasma Rifle on sale for $59.50 (usually $99.95). This faithful replica of the classic Halo weapon fires harmless, non-toxic gel balls at a range of up to 100 feet that dissolve. Unlike the in-game version, when the battery runs low you can charge it via USB-C, rather than chuck it at an unsuspecting Grunt.

I’m no microphone professional, but Neat’s Bumblebee 2 USB-C mic has been a great addition to my setup. It’s small, makes me sound pretty good, has 3.5mm audio monitoring, and can be removed from its stand to mount. Usually around $30, it’s down to $11.70 when you enter the code LEVEL22 at checkout over at Woot.

We’ve just published the best preorder deals on Samsung’s new foldables, but you can also get a $50 Amazon gift card with the new Samsung Galaxy Watch 9 or a $100 Amazon gift card with the Samsung Galaxy Watch Ultra 2. As we noted in our hands-on impressions, both offer longer battery life and new preventive health features, including a unique Fitness Index that compares metrics like strength with other Samsung users.

Best Buy has a great price on the unlocked iPhone Air that launched last September. It’s $839.99 (originally $999.99) in all colors for the thin phone with 256GB of storage. Pair that with the phone’s MagSafe Battery for $59.99 ($40 off) at Amazon, and you’ll see why Allison Johnson got hooked on the Air.

The SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless gaming headset is available for $250 in white at Best Buy and Amazon (originally $380). It has premium features like multi-system connectivity and swappable batteries, and supports PC, PlayStation, Switch, plus mobile devices via Bluetooth. It’s just $10 more than the blemished box deal we covered recently that’s still happening. Read our review.

Online movie seller Gruv (operated by Universal Pictures, if you didn’t know) is capitalizing on The Odyssey hitting theaters by discounting many classic Ancient Rome films and Christopher Nolan movies. Dune also made the cut for some reason, giving you plenty of options if you want to hear that signature Hans Zimmer “BWAAAAAH” sound. First-time customers can save 15 percent off your order with code FIRSTGRUV15 at checkout.

You can grab the noise-canceling AirPods 4 for $144.99 ($35 off) at Amazon and Walmart, which is the best price we’ve seen since earlier this year. While they don’t tune out noise quite as well as the AirPods Pro, we were impressed by how well they reduced sounds on planes and offices. They also sound great and offer Pro-like perks including wireless charging and Find My support. Read our review.

Back-to-school shopping season is upon us, and you can check one item off your list by picking up the Texas Instruments TI-84 Evo at Amazon for $96.99 (usually $160). With a multi-color display, redesigned home screen and keypad, and USB-C charging, the TI-84 Evo is a huge leap from the TI-83 Plus I had to deal with in geometry class.

Fanatical is hosting a build-your-own bundle of Resident Evil games for Steam that costs $6.50 per game, and gets slightly cheaper the more you add. For instance, Resident Evil Village and the Resident Evil 2 remake are $12.99 together. The site has every major game in the franchise, save for Requiem and a few remakes.
