One of my favorite Sony earbuds just hit a new low price for Prime Day — and they beat Bose in a big way
The WF-C710N are now just $78 at Amazon thanks to a massive price cut. That's a fabulous deal in our eyes — AirPods Pro 2 eat your heart out, we only need these Sonys.
Sony's transparent blue buds are among our favorite affordable in-ear headphones. They sound excellent, not just for the price, and the ANC is highly competent for those noisy bus journeys and loud walks to work. They're comfy too, and the 30-hour battery life is very solid. This $50 discount makes them the lowest price they've ever been.
Transparent. Blue. That should really be all I need to say about WF-C710N to persuade you that they're worth the pickup. Nothing else should really matter — but, alas, it does, so I'll tell you more.
They sound excellent, stacking up with buds that cost twice the price, for one. Their ANC is as good as Bose options that cost $30 more, and the transparency mode is better. They're comfortable, they look great, and the case is compact enough to fit into any pair of Jeans.
Do I need to say more? Okay, how about 30 hours of battery, 8.5 of which live in the buds themselves. There's great call quality, loads of fitting options in the box, and Sony's DSEE that improves the quality of music from lower-res sources.
Really, all I should have to do is tell you that there's an amazing transparent blue color for you to be on board, but I suspect that the price might cinch it — $50 off for their lowest price ever. Don't delay, or everyone else will have bought them all instead. You've been warned.
There are plenty more deals to be had this Prime Day — make sure you check out our Prime Day live blog to make sure you're staying on top of all the latest sales and offers.

Amazon Warns AI Capacity Limits, Stock Retreats
Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) slid after its earnings call because Andy Jassy was blunt: AI demand is real, but the company can't just snap its fingers and supply enough capacity. Electricity and chip shortages are the choke points, and he said it will take several quarters to work through it, even if things slowly improve each period. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 5 Warning Signs with NVDA. He pushed back on the idea Amazon is losing the AI race and leaned into the spend$31.4Billion of AI-heavy capex in Q2 is the kind of run rate the back half is built on, with more going into chips, data centers and power. Tariffs haven't bitten yet in H1, he said, but who ends up paying higher U.S. rates later is still unclear. That caution rubbed some investors the wrong way. Lucas Ma of Envision Research warned the heavy investment and mounting competition from GOOG (NASDAQ:GOOG) and META (NASDAQ:META) could squeeze free cash flow, making capital allocation riskier if the AI arms race keeps accelerating. Amazon is chasing a big AI opportunity while bumping up against real limits, so growth hinges on execution and capital discipline. The next signs to watch are whether capacity actually ramps as promised and whether margin or cash flow pressure shows up once tariffs shift. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

S&P 500 Falls 1.5%, Nasdaq Tumbles 2% Dow Drops 500 Points on weak jobs and Trump tariffs
Aug 1 - U.S. stocks fell sharply Friday morning as a disappointing July jobs report and President Donald Trump's updated tariffs rattled investors. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 583 points, or 1.3%, while the S&P 500 fell 1.5% and the Nasdaq Composite slid nearly 2%. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 2 Warning Signs with FLTLF. The Labor Department reported just 73,000 new nonfarm payrolls in July, far below economists' forecasts for 100,000. Prior months were revised significantly lower, highlighting ongoing labor market weakness. Traders now see a 66% chance of a September Federal Reserve rate cut, up from earlier in the week. Tariff news added pressure. The White House announced levies of 10% to 41% on select imports, including a 35% rate on goods from Canada, up from 25%. Items routed through third countries to avoid duties will face a 40% charge. Tech and bank stocks were the worst in dragging down the market. JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) declined by 4%, and Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) and Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) dropped by more than 3%. Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) was down over 7% on weaker than hoped-for directions, and Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA), Meta Platforms (NASDAQ:META), and Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL) were falling, too. Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) was an exception to the downward move when it gained 2 percent after it reported good earnings. This article first appeared on GuruFocus.

I've been tracking deals for 18 years and I've never seen MacBooks this cheap — back to school deals from $599
I've been using Macs since the Performa 637CD. It was an epic machine with a 33 MHz 68LC040 processor, 8GB of RAM, 350MB HDD, and a 2x CD-ROM. Today's Macs blow that machine out of the water and with back to school sales underway, I've spotted some of the best MacBook deals of all time. If you're on a tight budget, Walmart has the MacBook Air (M1) on sale for $599. Yes, this model was released in 2020, but that M1 chipset can still provide enough horsepower for basic Web-based tasks and it's great for young students who aren't editing photos or 4K video. If you can spend a bit more, the current-gen 13-inch MacBook Air (M4) is on sale for $799 at Amazon. This is the deal I'd personally buy because you get a powerful M4 processor coupled with 16GB of RAM. That's enough to get you through four years of college and then some. The new MacBook Air is powered by Apple's latest M4 chipset. It upgrades the camera from 1080p to 12MP with Center Stage support. The M4 chipset also supports dual external monitors, even when you have the laptop's lid open. It packs a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display (2560 x 1664), Apple's M4 CPU w/ 10-core GPU, 16GB of RAM, and 256GB SSD. In our MacBook Air M4 review, we said the Editor's Choice laptop is irresistible thanks to its speedy performance, sharper camera, and lower starting price. Prefer a bigger screen? The 15-inch model is also on sale. It packs a 15.3-inch Liquid Retina display (2880 x 1864), Apple's M4 CPU w/ 10-core GPU, 16GB of RAM, and 256GB SSD. The MacBook Air M1 offers fantastic performance and value. The M1 CPU never stuttered in our tests and also helped it reach over 14 hours of battery life. It features a 13.3-inch Retina display, Apple M1 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 256GB SSD. In our MacBook Air M1 review, we said it offers amazing endurance and shockingly good speed. For $100 more, this deals gets you an M2 chipset and — more importantly — 16GB of RAM. That extra RAM is the reason I'd recommend this machine over the M1-based model as it'll give you a better experience when it comes to multitasking. The laptop is remarkably light and thin yet sports a 13.6-inch Liquid Retina display, a speedy Apple M2 CPU w/ 8-core GPU, 16GB of RAM, 256GB SSD, and a great 1080p FaceTime camera. In our MacBook Air M2 review we lauded this Editor's Choice laptop for its versatility and battery life, so don't miss your chance to get one at a great discount. The 13.3-inch MacBook Air (M1) for $599 at Walmart is a good deal, but one I'd only recommend to students on a very tight budget. Otherwise, I recommend spending a little more for the M2 or M4 model which each come with 16GB of RAM. If you don't need a laptop — consider getting the Mac mini (M4) for $539 at Amazon. (Just note it's sold for $499 in the past, so this is a good price, but not the lowest). Otherwise, I'd say the 13-inch MacBook Air (M4) is the best MacBook you can buy and one of the best laptops on the market. I don't foresee these laptops getting any cheaper come Labor Day, so now is the best time to purchase one.
