But before you go and hand Bose the victory, consider the Sony WH-1000xM4 headphones. The latest update to Sony’s flagship ANC headphones addresses its predecessor’s biggest complaint –– the call quality. With that out of its way, you have what’s probably the smartest headphone on the market. By way of its app, the xM4 delivers scores of audio customization including 360-degree audio and a rather deep equalizer. And Sony’s no slouch in the ANC category, either, creating a noise-free bubble to rival Bose....

These headphones lack big brother’s smarts and sonic precision. Weaker active noise cancellation (ANC) and call quality also distinguish the two models. The WH-CB910N won’t replace any of Sony’s top-of-the-line wireless headphones. However, that isn’t the real question. It’s whether the WH-XB910N are good enough to replace your current mid-range ANC headphones. Read our full review of the Sony WH-XB910N to get the full breakdown. Sony WH-XB910N availability and price For comparison, these headphones are less expensive than ANC heavyweights like the Bose 700 ($379) and Sony WH-1000XM4 ($349), but more expensive than our current mid-range favorite, the Cleer Enduro ANC ($129)....

Whatever the reason, there’s a tablet out there for you....

In terms of hardware, the Fire Kids Edition tablet is essentially the same 7-inch Fire Tablet wrapped in a durable, removable foam shell.

The base model, which is the same model that won our Editor’s Choice award, features a 14-inch 1080p touchscreen LCD, Core m3-8100Y CPU, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of eMMC storage. That may not sound like a lot of muscle power, but it provided enough brawn to let us open 18 Google Chrome tabs and watch four 1080p streams simultaneously without any lag.

The Surface Duo 2 continues to offer some of the most striking features of its forefather, including the ability to run two apps simultaneously for multitasking mavericks who need a device that can support their app-juggling talent.

In our MacBook Air review, we praised the 13.3-inch laptop for its 10+ hour battery life and sleek design.

Those are some aging specs, so don’t expect blistering performance....

The caveat is that in order to get that bargain basement price, you’ll have to make a bulk order on the lowest-spec model which features a quad-core ARM Cortex A53 CPU, 1GB of RAM and just 8GB of storage.
