If you're still rocking the terrible earbuds that came with your phone, it's time to do yourself a favor and upgrade. These Sennheiser headphones come with a mic and inline remote, and sound way better than your EarPods.

Note that the MM30i is for iOS, and the MM30g is for Android. The Android models have been down to $20 for awhile, but the iPhone version has never been this cheap.

By now, you're probably aware that Audio-Technica's ATH-M50x headphones are ridiculously popular, but even on sale, they still cost well over $100. If that's a little rich for your blood, you can opt for a set of the lower-end ATH-M30x for just $55 today, after a 20% off promo code.[Audio-Technica ATH-M30x Professional Studio Monitor Headphones, $55 with code 30XPROMO]

Note: The promo code will only work if you choose "Amazing Deals Online" as your Amazon seller. That link should take you straight there, but if you're having trouble with the code, be sure to double check.

The same seller is offering a deal on the ATH-M50x as well, though it's not quite as good as theone we saw over the weekend. [Audio-Technica ATH-M50x Professional Studio Monitor Headphones, $129 with code 50XPROMO]

The Contigo Autoseal dominated your voting for best travel mug, and Amazon's selling a 2-pack of them today for just $33. These mugs typically sell for around $20-$25 each, so if you want to share one with someone else, or just want to establish a dishwasher rotation so you're never short a mug, this is a fantastic price. [Contigo Autoseal West Loop 2-Pack, $33]

If you really just want one, we've also found the "Latte" color for $17, Monaco Blue for $18, and Stainless, Polar White, and Ocean for $19, all of which are good prices.

Anyone who's spent any time watching Food Network or studying cooking knows that Thermapen is basically the be-all, end-all of instant read digital food thermometers. The problem is, they cost about $100, and hardly ever go on sale. Today though, you can get a green model for $79 to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. That's still a hefty investment, but it's about as cheap as these things get. [Green Thermapen, $79]

Just because your house or apartment doesn't have a doorbell doesn't mean you'll have to rely on knocking like a caveman. This $13 kit has everything you need to install one, no wiring required. You can even choose from 52 different chimes! [iClever HI-925 Smart Wireless Door Bell, $13 with promo code EVEREST8]

You own a nice camera, maybe a few lenses and accessories too, but you find you never take it with you because it's such a pain to carry all of that gear. Luckily, this inexpensive backpack has all the pockets you need to travel with your camera bodies, lenses, batteries, accessories, and even a laptop. Plus, it can convert from a standard backpack to a sling bag in seconds. [Professional Gear Backpack for Digital SLR, $40]

Timex's Weekender Watches are the most popular we've ever listed in our Commerce segments. They're extremely versatile and come in a variety of colors, and today they're marked down to the $20-$22 shipped, courtesy of Woot. [Timex Weekender Sale]

If you want to class your new watch up a bit, our Promotions Team (separate from Commerce)recently ran a deal featuring FormFunctionFrom, a company that makes beautiful leather watchbands that are compatible with the Weekender.

We've waxed poetic about the Motorola SB6141 modem countless times in the past, but today, its little brother is getting a deal. The SB6121 has a slower maximum download speed than the 6141 (172 mbps vs. 343), so you could say it's less future-proof, but it shouldn't be a bottleneck for most cable ISPs for the next few years. In the meantime, it'll have paid for itself many times over by eliminating the modem rental fee from your monthly bill. [refurb ARRIS / Motorola SurfBoard SB6121 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem, $45]

The 3Doodler started life a Kickstarter sensation, and now you can the 3D-printing pen for just $70 to start building your own creations. That's $30 less than elsewhere, and even $5 less than the Kickstarter backers' preorder price. Gizmodo had a hands on with the 3Doodler at last year's CES if you're on the fence. [3Doodler 3D Printing Pen with ABS & PLA Filament, $70]

I'm not sure how many of our readers sew, but if you happen to be one of them, Amazon's dropped the price of their #1 selling sewing machine to an all-time low, today only. [Brother CS6000i Feature-Rich Sewing Machine, $115]

Here's what a Kinja Deals commenter had to say:

The Brother sewing machine is a fantastic deal and well worth it if you or someone you know wants to learn sewing or cosplay. It's a mid-level machine at an entry-level price.

No matter how long you've been driving, it's never too late to learn better habits. Automatic is a little Bluetooth dongle that plugs into your car's OBD-II port (found on almost any car made since 1996) and communicates with your smartphone to track driving habits, mileage, and engine problems. Best of all, if you're in an accident, Automatic will automatically alert the authorities and call your family, no subscription required.

Automatic normally goes for $100 around the web, but today you can take a $20 discount. [ Automatic Smart Driving Assistant, $80]

Your phone is the best GPS, but if you don't have a good way to mount it to your dash, it can pose a serious hazard. Here are two highly rated options under $10 to get you started today.

The RAVPower Element is one of the most popular external chargers on the market, and its 10,400mAh variant is down to a new low price today. You'll never be worried about your smartphone's battery life again. [RAVPower Element 10400mAh External Battery, $17 with code CAUC655C]

Here are some great gifts for the Legend of Zelda fan who has everything.

If you need a new reading fix, Station 11 is on sale for just $3 on Kindle today. It was one of io9's best science fiction books of 2014, and has great reader reviews as well. Here's what Charlie Jane Anders had to say:

One of the year's most celebrated books, Mandel's novel about a plague apocalypsewas a finalist for the National Book Award and a New York Times bestseller. But beyond the usual questions that a ton of other books about the collapse of civilization tend to ask, Mandel's book focuses on the nature of art and performance, as we follow a group of traveling actors and musicians, performing in the ruins, as we discover the connections between an actor who died at the start of the plague, a paramedic who tried to save him, and the child actress who survived it.

If you happen to do any engine work, or if you're just a mechanical perfectionist, these highly-rated torque wrenches are half off today.

I bought this PetFusion cat scratcher lounge its full $50 price tag three weeks ago. As frustrating as that is for me, I can confirm that it's probably the only thing on earth that my cat actually likes. It's also Amazon's #1-selling "Cat House and Condo," and it basically never goes on sale. [PetFusion Ultimate Cat Scratcher Lounge, $42]

Amazon's #1 selling pet food container is only $18 today after you clip a 20% off coupon, if you're willing to wait out a backorder. The set actually comes with two containers; a 25 pound version and a 10 pound model that rests on top, along with caster wheels and a scoop.

As someone who has dealt with ant hell in the early days of pet ownership, I'll tell you that your storage needs to be airtight. [IRIS Airtight Pet Food Container Combo Kit, $18 after 20% Off Digital Coupon. Also available in red and blue]

This Samsung external drive clocks in at just $25/TB today, which is about as cheap as you'll see storage space these days. [SAMSUNG D3 Station 4TB, $100]

Multi-port USB charging hubs are some of the most popular items we list, and if you need one, you get your choice of deal today. You can either take $6 off a 6-port iClever hub, or you can pay full price, but get a free bonus charger bundled in. In terms of cash value, the bundle deals are better, but $20 for a 6-port 50W hub is a fantastic deal in its own right.

If you can live with one less port, and half the power, here's another option.

If you aren't enamored with the current state of smart watches, but find the idea of notifications on your wrist appealing, the original Pebble is a great gateway drug. It doesn't have the flashy animations and rich features of Android Wear or the Apple Watch, but it does for a week or more on a single charge, and the price can't be beat. [Pebble Smart Watch for Select Apple and Android Devices, $80]
