    The weekend's best deals: tons of Apple devices, Sony headphones, 4K TVs and more

    Ars Technica

    It’s the weekend and that means it’s time to round up the best deals of the week. As we expect, every weekend (and actually every day) in November brings a new round of discounts on popular big-ticket items, usually at the lowest prices of the year. Today, that includes headphones from Sony, Beats, Jabra, and a deal on refurbished AirPods Max.

    Sony has two great offers for its latest and latest generation noise canceling headphones. The frustratingly named but high-quality WH-1000XM5 ($348, $400) and WH-1000XM4 ($228, $348) are discounted to match the lowest prices we tracked for both. Since Sony released the latest WH-1000XM5, it also continues to sell the previous generation WH-1000XM4. When we tested the 5 vs. the 4, we found that it slightly improved on just about every aspect of the previous generation of headphones. They are better for phone calls, a bit lighter and can charge faster. They also don’t fold up for storage like the 4. These aren’t what we’d call paradigm-shifting jumps, but rather moderate improvements, for the most part. Selling for over $100 less at its current price point, the WH-1000XM4 remains a very well-reviewed, capable set of noise-cancelling headphones that we couldn’t blame you for the newer WH-1000XM5.

    However, Apple’s AirPods Max are our favorite noise-cancelling headphones. And if you like to buy refurbished, they are currently on sale for $355 ($475) van Woot, shave a few hundred dollars off the suggested retail price. Woot’s website states that these headphones have no visible scratches or marks and come with a 90-day warranty from Woot.

    Elsewhere on the web, we’ve got the first cash discount on the Google Pixel 7 Pro, $300 off a well-chosen 14-inch M1-powered MacBook Pro ($1,599, $1,900), a ton of iPads, 4K TVs from LG and Sony, and much more. Check out the full curated list below.
