Sony WH-1000XM2 Noise-Canceling Headphones
Save $52: When they launched in September, the Sony WH-1000XM2 headphones replaced the popular MDR-1000X in Sony’s wireless noise-canceling lineup. They look almost identical but the WH-1000XM2s boast a slightly grippier texture and come with a few extra features, including Sony’s Quick Attention — it allows users to lower the volume of music by putting their hand over the right earcup. Though the WH-1000XM2 headphones normally retail for $350, they’re currently 15% off on Amazon for a $52 discount.
OXO Good Grips Cold Brew Coffee Maker
Save 20%: Of all the coffee drinks one would make at home, cold brew requires the least amount of specialized gear. “You could make cold brew in a bucket and just dump it through a strainer,” Edward O’Hickey, the coffee educator at Toby’s Estate, recently told us. “But a cold brew maker cleans up the process a bit and keeps you more organized.” On that note, one of the best cold-brew coffee makers you can buy is on sale today; the OXO Good Grips Cold Brew Coffee Maker, recommended by Wirecutter and Home Grounds, is 20 percent off on Amazon. — Jack Seemer
