We know — the discount on these headphones is nothing to write home about, but this is one of the best noise-canceling headphones deals we've found on Amazon so far ahead of Prime Day (but definitely stay tuned!). Just five minutes of charging allows this headphone set to run for two extra hours and its foldability ensures you can take your tunes with you on any adventure.

Luggage deals
Opens in a new tab Credit: Rockland Our pick: Rockland London hardside spinner wheel luggage set (3-piece) (opens in a new tab) $144.05 at Amazon (save $405.95) Get Deal (opens in a new tab)Why we like it
The three-piece Rockland London hardside spinner wheel luggage set is made of extremely lightweight and durable material and comes with double spinner wheels which function smoothly and soundlessly. In case you've overpacked (because same), the luggage is also able to expand an extra two inches in depth. Beware of the dramatic savings you see on this item at Amazon: the set was actually only $152.45 this past May, which is still higher than the current price but not as high as the site would like you to believe.
