If you’re considering gifting the AirPods Pro 3 for Valentine’s Day, now’s a great time to pick them up. Today only, Best Buy is selling the noise-canceling earbuds for $199.99 ($50 off), matching their all-time low.

For iPhone owners, nothing else really compares to the AirPods Pro 3. They deliver the best active noise cancellation and richest sound of any Apple wireless earbuds to date, combined with a more comfortable, angled design that fits securely and naturally in your ear canal. The AirPods Pro 3 also feature a new XXS ear tip size and a more robust IP57 sweat and water resistance rating, making them better suited for workouts.

The earbuds pull double duty as well, functioning as a fitness tracker thanks to a built-in heart rate sensor that works with Apple’s Fitness app to track calories burned across more than 50 workout types. They even support real-time live translation, making them especially useful for travel. And, as you’d expect, they play well with other Apple devices, offering conveniences like automatic device switching and a case with Find My capabilities.

With the Switch 2 upgrade for the game expected to arrive on March 26th, now is a great time to grab a copy of Super Mario Bros. for $46.99 ($13 off) at Woot, which is its best price to date. The side-scrolling game builds on the best of classic Mario Bros. games, adding fun, bizarre new elements, surprising twists, and levels that test everything from combat skills to speed.

Now through January 23, Woot is selling the Amazon Smart Thermostat in refurbished condition for $39.99, which is $40 less than buying it new. In her review, The Verge’s Jennifer Pattison Tuohy was impressed by how capable the budget thermostat is for the price. It delivers features usually reserved for models that cost more than twice as much, notably the ability to adapt to your habits and preferences. The attractive thermostat integrates well with Amazon Alexa too and while it doesn’t come with native temperature sensors, it’s a good investment to make if you’re embedded in Amazon’s ecosystem.

Amazon is selling the Anker Nano II 30W for $9.99 ($14 off), which is the lowest price we’ve seen on the charger. It features a single USB-C port that can deliver up to 30 watts of power, making it capable of quickly charging a laptop, smartphone, tablet, and other devices. While its prongs don’t fold, the charger is still small enough to easily slip into a bag.
