Dealmaster: Grab a pair of Anker wireless noise-cancelling headphones for $80

Greetings, Arsians! The Dealmaster is back with another round of deals to share. Today’s list is headlined by the return of a deal on Anker’s Soundcore Space NC, one of the few sub-$100 wireless noise-cancelling headphones that we have tested and can safely recommend. They’re currently down to $80 on Amazon; that’s $20 off the usual going rate and tied for an all-time low.

We’ve written about these headphones in the past—in summary, they can’t really touch the best Bluetooth noise-cancellers from Sony and Bose when it comes to audio and active noise-cancellation quality, but for a pair that costs a third of those headphones, they’re impressive. The SpaceNC headphones do a capable enough job of blocking out the low-end rumbles, it has a hearty, full sound, its earcups have plenty of cushy padding, and it gets around 20 hours of battery life per charge. You should still pay up for those superior pairs if at all possible, but if you’re just priced out, this is an acceptable compromise.

We’ll note that Anker recently launched an even cheaper pair of wireless noise-cancelling headphones, which themselves are currently on sale for $60 as of this writing. Those come with better battery life (closer to 26-28 hours) and a comparatively more neutral sound, but they don’t necessarily sound better, and their noise-cancelling quality is notably weaker than that of the Soundcore Space NC. We’d still recommend the latter.

If you don’t need a new pair of headphones, though, we also have a $30 discount on the Nintendo Switch, Google Pixel 3A pre-order deals, lots of discounts on Amazon devices, and more. Have a look for yourself below.
