You've probably seen some dubious reporting without any actual numbers claiming that Apple Airpods are "dominating" Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales at Amazon. I drop the dubious tag on this one because I've seen the resource this comes from, and the Jabra Elite Active 75t True Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds are also listed as the top seller, so I have no idea what any of it means. Anyway, it doesn't matter nearly as much as getting the best Cyber Monday deal on the headphones you like does in the end.It does pose a question, though — why aren't Google's Pixel Buds A headphones selling well? If you're an Android user, they are a great pair of earbuds that offer a few features no other pair does, and they sound every bit as good as any other pair of premium wireless earbuds will. You can also get a pair at a great Cyber Monday price if you're looking to pick them up.The reason is pretty simple — Amazon doesn't want you to buy them but wants you to buy Apple products.Google Pi...

The Google Store has some of the best Cyber Monday deals for phones, smart home tech, streaming sticks, Chromebooks, and more. Most of them can also be found on other sites, but there are some exclusive deals here, including $50 off the Pixel 5a, Pixel Pass for the Pixel 6, and 70% off the Stadia Premiere Edition.Among our other favorite Cyber Monday Google Store deals, you'll find 20% off the Chromecast with Google TV, $70 off the Nest Learning Thermostat, $50 off the Nest Hub and Hub Max, $80 off the Nest Doorbell, $40 off the Nest Audio, and up to $100 off various Fitbits.Many of these prices are available on other sites, but using the Google Store should allow you to apply any credit you've built up with your Google One plan. Unfortunately, 9to5Google has spotted an issue where Google disregards your credit and charges you the full (deal) price, so just keep an eye on that.The Google Store should have these deals available until Dec. 1, but stock could run out before then.

It now lets you pick a SIM card when making a call using a dual-SIM device.What you need to knowAndroid Auto has added support for dual-SIM phones.The application now allows you to choose which SIM you want to make a call from.Google previously hinted at the feature's arrival a few months ago.Google looks to have taken notice of a long-time pet peeve among Android Auto users who frequently make a call using their Android phones with dual-SIM support. The search giant has rolled out a new update to Android Auto that lets you select a SIM card to use when placing a phone call on the go.The dual-SIM support has been spotted by a Reddit user, first reported by XDA Developers. The new update enables the infotainment system to display a pop-up message asking you which SIM to use for a phone call you're trying to make.Prior to this update, the system would not allow you to select a SIM card from which you wish to place a call.

So you've already picked one of the best Cyber Monday Android phone deals, and you're in need of a charger. That's right, most of the best Android phones ship without a charger in the box, leaving you to fend for yourself in that department. Luckily, Anker has you covered with this deal on the company's PowerPort III wall charger. Thanks to Cyber Monday, you'll be able to get the PowerPort III for just $12, saving you 25% in the process.With the PowerPort III, you'll be provided with up to 20W charging speeds, which may not seem like much.

Billie Eilish is all about how her music sounds, which she spoke about when she helped Spotify announce its new HiFi audio upgrade. Then later, she took it a bit further when she partnered with Amazon on a limited-edition Echo Studio speaker with her face etched on it. That way, even when you're not listening to Billie Eilish, Billie Eilish will always be there with a deep, existential look on her face. Staring off into the distance. Yearning. She's probably thinking about all the poor Thanksgiving turkeys.Anyways, where was I? Yes, the Echo Studio. Well, it's a limited edition version of Amazon's most powerful speaker, and right now, it's 15% off just in time for Cyber Monday. It might be a bit weird to have a musician's face plastered across your speaker, but I suppose it makes more sense than having it up on a wall. So if you're a Billie Eilish fan, this one's for you (cue: "Bad Guy").Limited Edition Echo Studio$195 at AmazonThis limited-edition Echo Studio is all abou...

While our big focus for gaming sales right now is in tracking all the best PS5 Cyber Monday deals, there's still some great opportunities for PS4 owners to save some money. One great deal we've found is with the WD 2TB PS4 external hard drive, which is $20 (or 22%) off for Cyber Monday, meaning you can grab 2TB of extra storage for just $70.The PS5 is Sony's latest console but the PS4 is still going strong, with more blockbuster first-party games on the way, including Guerrilla Games' Horizon Forbidden West and Sony Santa Monica's God of War Ragnarok. Big games means you'll need even more space, so instead of having to delete games off your PS4's hard drive, you can just grab this external, plug it in, and start playing.While it's meant for PS4 owners, it's worth noting this external hard drive also works with the PS5. It won't play PS5 games, as they require an ultra-fast SSD, but it can be used to play backward compatible PS4 games, freeing up the PS5's internal storage for more ...
