The 15 Best Weekend Deals on Headphones, Games, and More

Still stuck inside? So are we. Here are a few things that might make your self-isolation a little easier to bear.

There's nothing quite like being told you can't be outside to make you want to be outside, but that's a bad idea right now. Like many of you, we've been finding new ways to keep ourselves busy indoors, whether that's taking up a new hobby like bread baking or just laying on the couch binge-watching all 22 movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

We've also been scouring the web for deals on products that might be extra helpful in this time of self-isolation, from headphones and games to home goods. And while you are keeping your distance from others, we encourage you to support your local businesses and check out any local aid organizations that might be taking donations of supplies for those who might not have them. Take care of each other.

For more ways to stay entertained and productive, this week we've looked at how to get free Kindle books with a library card, how to keep your social life alive at a distance, and how to teleconference like a pro.

Check out our guides to the Best Wireless Headphones, Best Wirefree Earbuds, and Best Laptops for more recommendations.

Master & Dynamic MW50 Wireless on-Ear Headphones for $125 ($124 off with code WFH50): Like most Master & Dynamic headphones, the MW50s aren't exactly cheap, but they produce incredible sound (9/10 WIRED Recommends), and at half their usual price, they're a steal.
Master & Dynamic MW07 Wireless Earbuds for $100 ($100 off with code WFH50): These are among our favorite wireless earbuds, and normally their premium sound commands a premium price, but until Sunday, they're half off.
ThinkPad X1 Carbon 14-Inch Laptop for $1,849 ($1,000 off): I don't usually get excited about business laptops, but the ThinkPad X1 Carbon is a business laptop with serious horsepower and style to match.
ThinkPad X280 12-Inch Laptop for $849 ($1,230 off): The ThinkPad X280 is a great everyday laptop and it's super portable, which will be important when we're able to go outside again.

Games & Accessories

If you want more options, head to our guides for the Best Xbox One Games, Best PS4 Games, and Best Switch Games.

Borderlands 3 for PS4 for $30 ($30 off): Couch co-op, hordes of enemies, and literal piles of loot to sort through, Borderlands 3 has been one of my favorite ways to kill time during the quarantine. The Xbox One version is also on sale.
Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order for $40 ($20 off): Nothing like a romp through a Star Wars adventure to help you escape for a few hours, and this game is one of the best Star Wars games in recent memory. It's on sale for Xbox One and PS4
Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons for $70 ($10 off): These bright green Joy-Cons remind me of fresh cut grass and how badly I wish I could go roll around in some. In the meantime, it never hurts to have an extra pair for couch co-op, especially if you're stuck with your roommates or family right now.
Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle for $20 ($40 off): Speaking of co-op games, this is a great one. You can control Nintendo's iconic characters from the Mushroom Kingdom, like Mario and Peach, as well as four Rabbids heroes to strategically beat enemy Rabbids in turn-based combat.
Xbox One X 1 TB Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order Bundle for $400 ($100 off): The Xbox One X is a great console, especially if you have a 4K TV with HDR. This bundle includes a controller, the game, a 1-month Xbox Live Gold subscription, which lets you play online; a one-month Xbox Game Pass trial, which lets you play hundreds of titles every month for a single monthly subscription fee; and one month of EA Access, which is similar to Game Pass but for EA games.

Home Goods & Appliances

Rubbermaid Press & Lock 42-piece Set for $18 ($22 off): Everyone needs more storage containers especially now that we're all cooking at home. These are great for leftovers or meal prepping.
KitchenAid Artisan Series 5-Quart Stand Mixer for $220 ($160 off): Trying your hand at baking for the first time? Or maybe it's been a while. Whatever it is, nothing ups your baking game like a stand mixer, and this one will last a lifetime.
Black & Decker Purify 2-Liter Air Fryer for $56 ($94 off): Air frying is one of the best ways to crisp up some at-home snacks (or give some extra oomph to your fave frozen fries), and this one's small enough for most countertops.
TCL 50-Inch 5-Series 4K HDR TV for $320 ($20 off): This is a slightly older TV model from TCL but it's still one with the best value. For $320 you're getting good picture quality and Roku built-in, so you can stream right out of the box.
Staub Ceramic Rectangular Baking Dish 11-Inch x 8-Inch for $25 ($45 off): I'm a sucker for a good, sturdy, lasts-you-a-lifetime ceramic baking dish, and this one definitely fits the bill. It's ideal for casseroles and lasagnas.
Staub Rustic Ceramic Baking Dishes Set of 2 for $50 ($70 off): Sometimes smaller is better, and this two-dish set makes it easy to cook up personal-sized lasagnas (yes, I am craving lasagna, how did you guess?), casseroles, dips, and even brownies.
