Govee’s Immersion TV LED backlights can elevate your TV watching experience by syncing its lights to what’s on your 55-inch or 65-inch screen. The effect makes it look like the colors bleed through the bezels of your TV, out onto your walls. It’s not the only product that can do this, but it’s far less expensive than most at $80. For a limited time, Govee is knocking $5 off that price to sweeten the deal a little more. You can get this product for $75 if you check the $5 “extra savings coupon” listed underneath the price on the product page. Read our review.

$64

If you want a more cinematic and immersive TV viewing experience, add these Govee backlights to your 55- or 65-inch TV. It works with any content, and you can get this kit for far less than competing models from Philips Hue.

Best Buy has been a reliable source for deals on Apple’s iPhone cases that rarely see much in the way of discounts. It launched another batch of price cuts today, focusing on cases for the iPhone 11 and iPhone 12 models, with a few extras in the mix. For those who are looking to maximize battery life in their iPhone 11 Pro or 11 Pro Max, you can get the Smart Battery Case for either phone at the same $52 price. This is $78 off its usual price. Sure, it’s going to add some serious heft to your phone, but it’s a smart purchase if you’d rather not plug into a charger every night.

$52

Apple claims that the Smart Battery Case for the iPhone 11 series phones delivers up to 50 percent extra battery life. This model features a dedicated camera button, too, which launches the camera app and can be used to take photos.

The same retailer is also hosting a tempting deal on Amazon’s latest generation of Echo Buds. They’re $120 at Amazon, but you can get the improved version for $80 in either the black or white colorways. Best Buy offered this deal last week, but today appears to be your last chance to take advantage of it. According to Chris Welch, who reviewed them at The Verge, these are tough to beat for the price (even tougher since they’re $40 off). They offer better comfort than the previous generation, as well as a noise cancellation effect that’s better at silencing your surroundings. Read our review.

$70

Amazon’s second-gen Echo Buds improve upon the originals with a more comfortable design, improved ANC, and a more natural ambient sound mode. They support hands-free Alexa commands as well.

If you prefer a pair of dedicated on-ears over a pair of earbuds, Simply Mac is offering the Airpods Max for $440 with promo code INSTA20, their lowest price to date. Apple’s luxe, noise-canceling headphones offer a comfortable build and superb, balanced sound, not to mention an intuitive set of controls and perks like Apple’s spatial audio, a feature that recently rolled out to Apple Music (to varying degrees of success). They’re one of the best pairs of noise-canceling headphones you can buy right now, especially if you’re already entrenched in the Apple ecosystem. Read our review.

Here are some other deals that you might be interested in:

  • Scarlet Nexus (Xbox One, Xbox Series S / X, PS4 / PS5) is $50 at Best Buy and Amazon (usually $60).
  • Sony’s WH-1000XM4 wireless, noise-canceling headphones are back down to $278 at Amazon. This is the $72 price cut that reappears about once a month. So far, these haven’t sold for a lower price than this.
  • The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for Nintendo Switch is down to $41 at Best Buy, which is frankly a steal for how much replay value this game offers.
