I convinced my dad to buy Bose QuietComfort headphones — now they're $100 off for Father's Day
He placed an order that day, and now I look forward to visiting my parents not just to see them (although, that's the primary reason, of course), but also to use my dad's Bose QuietComfort headphones.
As outlined in our Bose QuietComfort headphones review, the cans are extremely impressive. On top of ANC so good that no other brand even comes close, the headphones sound excellent in every single genre. And now? You can save a massive $100 on Bose QuietComfort headphones.
The QuietComfort headphones are on sale in the following colors: black (pictured), dark blue, lilac, light blue, beige, and white. Green is the only color not on sale, which is a shame because it's actually gorgeous.
Price check: $249 @ Best Buy | $249 @ Walmart
I've personally used the Bose QuietComfort headphones, and I can admit that $349 is expensive for what you get. However, with $100 off, these headphones are competitively priced.
Considering that most excellent Bluetooth headphones hover around $400 these days (what has the world come to?), $249 is about as low as you're going to get for Bose.
What makes Bose gear so good is its ANC. My colleague Nikita described Bose's ANC better than anyone else: it's so good you feel lonely.
Thankfully, when music sounds this good you can overlook the fact you're the only one listening. The QuietComfort headphones are bass-driven, with loud, groovy thumps across most genres. I'd recommend these headphones for serious bass lovers, or if you listen to genres like rock, hip-hop, or house. While I've never thought the QuietComfort headphones sound anything but fantastic, they genuinely excel with bassy tracks.
However, you can also adjust and create custom EQs with the Bose Music app, should you want a little less bass in your listening.
The Bose QuietComfort headphones come recommended for a reason, and at just $249, they're an absolute steal. I convinced my dad to buy these and he loves them, but now I wish I'd bought them for Father's Day instead!

One of our favorite Chromebooks is on sale just in time for back to school
There are plenty of Chromebooks on the market, but not all of them make for a great back to school laptop. Some are underpowered whereas others are packing outdated tech. Enter the Lenovo Flex 5i. As part of its back to school sale, Best Buy has the Lenovo Flex 5i Chromebook Plus on sale for $449. That's one of the best back to school laptop sales I've seen this week on a laptop that won our Editor's Choice award. Some of the best Chromebooks are known for their affordable prices, but as you'll find in our Lenovo Flex 5i Chromebook Plus review, this one takes the cake. It's one of our favorite 2-in-1 Chromebooks for good reason, and I'd happily put my work laptop on the side to use this lightweight, versatile machine instead. It has a crisp 14-inch 2K touch display that not only is great for productivity, but also for watching the latest shows on. It also packs an Intel Core i3-1315U CPU, 8GB of RAM, and a 128GB SSD. That's not going to break any speed records, but for young students it's more than enough power to access cloud-based and stream shows. It also offers over 10 hours of battery life, which is way more than what most work laptops can push out these days. Plus, its portable, compact design (just 3.5 pounds) is ideal for using as a laptop or tablet. It may be a tad small for some, especially when typing on its keyboard, and for those who require more horsepower for demanding apps, this isn't for you. However, as a driver for all online tasks, which ChromeOS is best at, this laptop is a solid bargain.

Exclusive: Walmart cracks down on Marketplace fakes
Walmart is publicly revealing for the first time how it's policing its third-party Marketplace — sharing exclusively with Axios the efforts it takes to block counterfeit goods and keep consumers safe. Why it matters: With more than 500 million items listed on Walmart's site, the retail giant is leaning into transparency as lawmakers and regulators ramp up scrutiny of online marketplaces. The company has faced accusations over fraudulent sellers and counterfeit products in recent years, including a purported class-action lawsuit filed last September that alleged the reselling of Amazon-listed products. Earlier this month the Federal Trade Commission called on Walmart and Amazon to crack down on sellers making false "Made in USA" claims. The big picture: The world's largest retailer says its rapidly growing digital Marketplace is backed by an enforcement system designed to block fake goods and root out bad actors before customers ever see them. "You have to be proactive because bad actors learn fast — and they can learn Gen AI," Manish Joneja, senior vice president of Walmart U.S. Marketplace, told Axios. "We continue evolving our proactive and reactive defenses." "The future of e-commerce does depend on customer trust and integrity," Joneja, who also leads Walmart Fulfillment Services. said in an interview with Axios Tuesday. "It's difficult to get trust, but it's easier to lose it." Walmart Marketplace efforts Zoom in: Joneja outlined some of the work Walmart is doing, including: Seller vetting and pre-listing protections, such as restricting who can sell certain categories. AI-driven, real-time monitoring of product listings for policy compliance — overseen by machine learning, automation and human management. State of play: Walmart acknowledges that counterfeit items make up a "tiny minority" of goods sold on marketplaces, but their impact can be significant — hurting both shoppers and honest sellers.
