Bose is offering an extra 25% off refurbished headphones, earbuds, and portable speakers
Bose's latest flagship headphones are a replacement for the Noise Cancelling Headphones 700, and offer a more travel-friendly design, spatial audio, better call quality, excellent comfort, and some of the best noise cancellation around. Read our review.
The QC Ultra Headphones are the perfect noise-canceling headphones for travel, offering excellent audio performance and a design that's comfortable to wear for long stretches. In his review, former Verge senior reviewer Chris Welch said the wider headband on the QC Ultra Headphones didn't cause any discomfort over extended use. While the headphones feature the same drivers found in Bose's older Noise Cancelling Headphones 700, the QC Ultra Headphones include a new Immersive Audio mode, which is the company's take on spatial audio.
The QC Ultra Headphones also offer 24-hour battery life and noise cancellation that's among the very best. They can block the annoying drone of a plane's engine and give you peace and quiet in a noisy coffee shop. Additionally, Bose's transparency mode, which the company calls 'Aware,' continues to improve with a more natural sound — nearly reaching the standard set by the AirPods Max.
With dynamic, rich sound and the best noise cancellation available in true wireless earbuds, the Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds are a terrific pick if you want to listen to your music in peace. Read our review.
Meanwhile, the QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds offer the best noise cancellation of any earbuds we've tested. They deliver excellent audio quality and a satisfying bass, surpassing the sound quality offered by Apple's AirPods Pro. Like the QC Ultra Headphones, the QC Ultra Earbuds have an immersive audio mode, providing the illusion that you're not wearing earbuds at all. Plus, the earbuds offer around six hours of battery life, IPX4 water resistance, and a comfortable fit thanks to stabilizer wings, ensuring they stay secure in your ear.
Bose's refurbished store is also offering great deals on the Ultra Open Earbuds, which with the code are down to $186.75 ($113 off), and the Smart Ultra Soundbar, which is down to $524.25 ($475 off), both of which are all-time low prices. If you're looking for a portable speaker, the SoundLink Flex is $74.25 ($75 off), another all-time low. Bose says its refurbished products undergo thorough testing and cleaning before they're resold, and they're backed by the same one-year warranty as new products.

LG Gram 17″ Touchscreen Laptop Drops by $3,200, How Is a 5-Star Copilot+ PC This Cheap?
A laptop that weighs less than some hardcover novels yet spreads a roomy seventeen‑inch canvas across your lap sounds almost imaginary, but that is exactly what the LG Gram 17 Touchscreen Laptop Copilot+ PC delivers. Open the lid and you are greeted by a bright display that feels closer to a desktop monitor than a portable screen, all inside a magnesium chassis you can lift with two fingers. Writers, photographers, and frequent travelers who hate choosing between screen space and shoulder strain finally get both. Head over to Amazon to get the LG Gram 17 Touchscreen Laptop Copilot+ PC for just $1,800, down from its usual price of $5,000. That's a discount of $3,200 and 64% off. See at Amazon The star of the show is the 17‑inch WQXGA display. It serves crisp text for marathon research papers and rich color for photo edits, while the ten‑point touch layer lets you pinch, swipe, and sketch without hunting for a mouse. Slim bezels make the panel feel even larger, yet the overall footprint remains manageable in a lecture hall seat or airplane tray. At roughly three pounds, the Gram 17 slips into a backpack alongside notebooks without turning the haul into a workout. Power comes from an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor paired with 32 gigabytes of memory. That combo keeps dozens of browser tabs, a video call, and a raw photo export running smoothly at the same time. A fast one‑terabyte NVMe SSD cuts load screens to a quick blink and holds a semester's worth of projects with space left for a movie stash. Intel Arc graphics handle light video editing and casual games, handy when work wraps up early. LG's Copilot+ features add a dash of AI assistance. Tap the dedicated key and Windows presents quick summaries of long articles, organises screenshots into searchable collections, and can even draft an email outline from a few spoken prompts. These small boosts shave minutes here and there, which adds up during a busy week. Battery life often reaches through a full nine‑to‑five schedule, helped by the efficient low‑power display. When the gauge dips low, USB‑C charging lets you borrow a phone brick in a pinch, and the included compact charger tops the battery in about two hours. Connectivity covers two Thunderbolt 4 ports, a pair of USB‑A slots, HDMI, microSD, and a headphone jack, so adapters stay to a minimum. Anyone seeking a light laptop that behaves like a portable studio will appreciate how easily this machine moves and how confidently it multitasks. The LG Gram 17 Touchscreen Laptop Copilot+ PC is still available for $1,800 at Amazon, far below its usual $5,000 listing. See at Amazon

Chipotle's CEO just shared the reason why sales have been down. Many fast food fans will relate
Chipotle Mexican Grill announced its second-quarter financial results on Wednesday, July 23, and the news isn't great. The fast casual restaurant chain failed to reach its quarterly sales estimates and reduced its targeted annual sales growth. Chipotle reported net income of $436.1 million (32 cents per diluted share), a decrease from $455.7 million (33 cents per diluted share) year-over-year (YOY). In premarket trading, Chipotle's stock price (NYSE:CMG) has plummeted over 12% since the market closed Wednesday night. While Chipotle reported a 3% increase YOY in total revenue, it credited the $3.1 billion sum to the opening of 61 new restaurants. In reality, restaurants saw comparable sales drop 4%, thanks to smaller bills. Wall Street had predicted a 2.9% decrease, according to consensus estimates cited by CNBC.

Snapchat will now let your friends know you've made it home safe
Snapchat is launching a new way for users to let their friends and family know they've made it home safe after an outing, called 'Home Safe,' the social network announced on Thursday. To use the feature, you need to set your home location by tapping your Bitmoji on Snap Map and then 'My Home.' When you head out and want to notify a friend when you get home, open the conversation, tap the Map icon, and then the Home Safe button. Your friend will receive an automatic alert in your chat conversation once you arrive home. Snapchat notes that alerts can only be sent to friends you already share your location with. Plus, since location sharing on Snap Map is off by default, no one can see your location or receive a Home Safe alert unless you choose to share it. 'Whether you're heading back from a first date, a crowded concert, or a weekend getaway, Home Safe can offer a close friend or family member peace of mind that you've made it home safely,' Snapchat wrote in a blog post. This new feature comes two months after Snapchat announced that Snap Map now has more than 400 million monthly active users. Snap Map, which launched in 2017, was originally a way for users to see their friends' locations and browse public snaps from around the world. Over time, the feature has evolved and now offers ways for users to discover local hotspots and find things to do.
