TOP TECH DEALS

Whether you need more places to store your files, or your home network isn’t keeping up with your streaming habits, Amazon’s got you covered with today’s Gold Box.

Inside, you’ll find a wide-ranging collection of deals broadly centered around storage and networking, including everything from flash drives to NAS enclosures and range extenders to routers. A few of our favorite deals are below, but head over to Amazon to see the rest. Just remember, these prices are only available today, and the best stuff could sell out early.

So you want to try a standing desk, but you’re not ready to commit to it for eight hours a day...what do you do? You buy this Eureka monitor riser for $239, an all-time low. This riser arrives fully assembled, and just sits on top of your existing desk.

If you’re still listening to your TV through its built-in speakers, get ready to have your life changed. This Klipsch sound bar has never sold for less than $599 on Amazon, and usually goes for $649, but it can rattle your walls for just $270, today only. This one could, and probably should, sell out early.

Anker’s PowerCore battery packs are your favorite portable chargers, and it’s not even close. And today only, the largest of those battery packs, the PowerCore 26800 is down to $50, about $10 less than usual. This model doesn’t have Quick Charge, but it can keep your phone juiced up to 7 times on one charge. Plus, its dual microUSB inputs allow it to recharge twice as fast as a regular battery pack, which is important for one this massive.

If your phone supports Quick Charge, I see no reason not to buy this dual port charger for $6. Its Quick Charge port is only of the 2.0 variety, but that’s still way faster than a typical charging port, even if it falls slightly short of 3.0 speeds.

There are lots of different ways to control your smart home devices, but Logitech’s Pop might be the fastest, not to mention the most fun.

The Pop is a button. A button that does stuff. Three things in fact, depending on how you press it, and what it does is completely up to you. It can dim your lights. It can control your SONOS system. If you have a Logitech Harmony Hub (ahem), it can even control your home theater. Hell, it can even trigger an IFTTT recipe, meaning it can do basically anything.

The starter kit (which includes two buttons and a bridge) is down to $60 on Amazon right now, if you’re willing to wait out a backorder. That’s $40 less than usual, and an all-time low.

If price has been the barrier to entry keeping you from better audio, here’s the first opportunity since Prime Day to grab Status Audio’s CB-1s for their best price ever, $63.

Status is a direct-to-consumer headphone company, building great cans in proven form factors without the markup that comes with popular brands. In fact, there’s no branding here whatsoever.

The CB-1s are extremely comfortable out of the box, more so (for me) than the ATH-M50X, MDR7506, SR60e, or V-MODA Crossfade Wireless, just to name a few off the top of my head (ha!).

The CB-1s have a (relatively) flat frequency response that’s great for listening to a variety of music or audio/video editing, with a wide sound stage in a closed back design. I get good isolation/seal with the updated pads. The inclusion of two detachable cables- coiled and straight, is also generous and welcome. Even better that they smartly attach with a twist lock.

We know from five years of Kinja Deals that great over-ear, closed back headphones for under $70 is no joke. Depending on what you’ve shelled out for in the past, they might even blow away your much more expensive pairs.

With this $13 Mpow Streambot Bluetooth receiver, you can turn everything from your dusty old iHome to your legacy home theater system into a Bluetooth speaker. Just plug in the AUX jack, connect up to two devices, and start streaming.

Everyone should keep an inverter in their glove box for powering laptops and other electronics in the car, and you can choose from two different deals from Aukey today for $19 or less. The more expensive model puts out 300W, while the 150W version is designed to fit in your cupholder, which is cool I guess?

Anker’s PowerDrive 2 Elite can output 12W on both ports simultaneously, and it looks really nice to boot. Grab one for $10 and put more power in car.

Featuring an eight foot power cord and 12 AC outlets, this Tripp Lite surge protector is exactly what you need behind your home theater or office desk for $23.

Amazon’s popular Fire TV Stick never seems to be included whenever Amazon runs sales on their first party devices, and today’s $5 discount is the first they’ve run since the holiday season last year. It doesn’t support 4K like the full-sized Fire TV, but it does include a handy voice remote with full Alexa support.

Top Home Deals

It’s 2017, and your vacuum shouldn’t have a cord anymore.

This $85 vacuum is sold by Eufy (Anker’s home division), and it runs for up to 50 minutes on a charge of its built-in lithium-ion battery. It’s also slim enough to fit under a lot of furniture, and since it’s sold by Anker, you even get a no-hassle 15 month warranty. Today’s price is the best we’ve ever seen, and about $15 less than usual.

If you don’t own a pressure cooker, today’s a great day to fix that, as Amazon’s knocked the highly-rated Instant Pot IP-DUO60 all the way down to $79 today. That’s a rare discount from its usual $90, and the best price Amazon’s listed all year.

If you’re worried that you won’t get a ton of use out of this thing, note that in addition to standard pressure cooking, this is also our readers’ favorite slow cooker, and one of their favorite rice cookers too. To put a fine point on it: It’s one of the most versatile kitchen gadgets you can own.

Why measure distances with a tape measure when you can measure them with a laser? This Bosch laser measure is one of the smallest you can buy, and measure up to 35' with accuracy down to 1/8".

Nothing beats a massage after a tough day at work, and this $20 pillow includes four rotating massage nodes, infrared heating, and even an included car adapter so you can use it during your commute home. Now you won’t have to debase yourself by using the massage chairs at your local Brookstone.

Can’t get enough Purell? Amazon will sell you 36 mini bottles with jelly wraps for $24 today. Obviously, these are great for back-to-school season, but regular old germaphobes should also be able to put them to good use as well.

Anker’s settings its sights on the affordable LED lighting market with the release of its Lumi night lights, and right now, you can save 20% automatically.

The stick-anywhere battery lights include a motion sensor to save power, while the plug-in lights will glow whenever it’s dark.

Top Lifestyle Deals

Post-Labor Day sale are hard to come by, but Nordstrom’s Summer Sale actually goes all the way into the weekend. Pick up up to 40% off tons of styles, including a good amount of fall staples like button downs, sweaters, boots, and more. It’ll help you cope with the fact that summer is basically over.

The lowest price we’ve ever seen and down $120 from 2 weeks ago, these Bushnell Legend Ultra HD M-Series 10x 42mm Binoculars for $165 are the top of the line binoculars for all of your bird watching, hunting, or stalking your ex needs. We don’t judge.

College student or not, take full advantage of all the kids stocking up their dorm rooms with this Amazon deal on cheap beauty, personal care, and household cleaning supplies. Spend $35 on items featured on this page, add this deal to your cart, and receive a $10 Amazon gift card in the mail. The deal mostly features 7th Generation and Dove products - everything from laundry and dishwasher detergents, to diapers and value packs of deodorant and shampoo. Exclusive to Prime members.

We’ve posted a lot of deals lately on these coccyx seat cushions, but $15 is one of the best prices we’ve seen to date. Just use promo code KINJACOMFORT at checkout to get the deal. These will improve posture and ease back pain in any chair where you spend a lot of time, from the office to the car to a long flight.

Need one for your lower back too? This lumbar pillow is also $15, with the same KINJACOMFORT promo code.

Once you try modal underwear, you’ll never go back, and it’s extremely rare to find boxer briefs for under $6 per pair. Seriously, buy a bunch of these, and throw all your old underwear in the garbage.

Top Media Deals

It’s not exactly a second season, but Firefly fans should still be excited to see that the show is getting a special edition 15th anniversary Blu-ray release this month, and you can save a few bucks off MSRP by preordering.

Details are a bit hard to find, but it appears that the contents of the discs are unchanged from the original release. That said, the set does include some nice box art, a map of the Verse, and what appears to be small posters of all the cast members? If you have more information, please share it in the comments.

Top Gaming Deals

Life is stressful these days, which is why we need games like Rime now more than ever. It looks pretty as hell, and lets you casually explore a beautiful island, solve puzzles, and find secrets at the pace of your choosing. Get it for an all-time low $20, while it lasts.

This PS4 Slim deal doesn’t include any extra controllers, or even any games - it’s just a straight cash discount, and one of the best we’ve seen. Use code 63GOSHOP to save $75, while supplies last.

If you still haven’t picked up an Xbox One S, $200 will get you a 500GB console (easily expandable with an external hard drive), Forza Horizon 3, and an extra controller from Newegg’s eBay storefront.
