The weekend’s best deals: Bose QuietComfort 45, Xbox storage cards, and more

Ars Technica

It’s the weekend, which means it’s time for another Dealmaster. The latest update to our roundup of the best tech deals from around the web includes Bose’s QuietComfort 45 for $279 at various retailers. This deal matches the one we saw over Presidents Day weekend and again equals the lowest price we’ve tracked for the company’s latest set of wireless noise-canceling headphones.

We continue to recommend the QuietComfort 45 to those who are willing to trade a little battery life—this pair lasts around 20 hours, compared to 30+ hours on options like Sony’s WH-1000XM4—for a more generally comfortable design. The headphones’ sound profile is more neutral than that of the XM4 by default, too, but Bose recently added a customizable EQ feature for those who prefer more bass or treble. Sony’s pair is a bit better at muting outside noise, so it remains our top pick, but the QuietComfort 45 is still a commendable alternative for the right person.

Besides that, our roundup also includes a rare deal on Seagate’s 512GB Storage Expansion Card for the Xbox Series X/S, which is down to $110 at B&H with an on-page coupon. That comes out to a $29 discount. These proprietary NVMe cards are still not great values compared to traditional SSDs with the same capacity, but if you need more space for your new Xbox games, they are Microsoft’s only official solution, for better or worse. B&H pauses online checkout until 7pm ET on Saturdays, but we’re noting the discount here so you can take advantage when it becomes available again.

Elsewhere, the Dealmaster has lower-than-usual prices on more standard SSDs and microSD cards from Samsung and WD, Microsoft’s Surface Pro 8, an excellent indoor security camera from Eufy, recommended games like It Takes Two, Hades, and Hollow Knight, the base model Nintendo Switch, and more. You can have a look at our full curated list below.
