The fit is kindly customizable, and you’ll get up to 30 hours of crisp, clear listening time with the case.

“Crystal-clear sound and unmatched comfort!” wrote one five-star fan. “I recently upgraded to [these] and couldn’t be happier!

Another raved: “The best AirPods to date! … I love the noise cancellation. It helped me a lot with my flight anxiety because now I can just cancel out the loud engine noises and actually even sleep during flights! Answering phone calls is super easy and the sound quality is very clear. I also love that feature that it turns off noise cancellation when you start talking while listening to music so you can seamlessly have a conversation with someone without having to change any settings.”
Here’s our tech expert’s full review.
A fresh bouquet is a lovely Mother’s Day gift, but let’s be honest — it’s not very original and it will quickly become a wilted mess. Not so with these everlasting Lego blooms! Bond as you build the 939-piece set together, then she can display the vibrant wildflower build for years to come.
One five-star shopper raved, “The colors are fantastic and rich. The plant designs are refined and fairly accurate at reproducing the different varieties of flora. This set can be built in under an hour and features simple, easy-to-understand instructions. The instruction booklet also includes informative paragraphs about the designer, the plants, as well as the parts used in creating the set. … This is a fun and rewarding set and actually similarly priced to a bouquet of live cut flowers.”

Trick out your outlet with this do-it-all wall adapter. The surge-protected device turns two measly outlets into five outlets and four USB ports, no electrician needed. Our advice: Buy multiples while they’re half off and hook up all your hot spots. The price has never been lower.
One grateful fan wrote, “I put this in my kitchen where everyone is plugging in and searching for the appropriate charging cable constantly. It is a great central charging station and will handle everyone’s devices at once, all while leaving the wall plugs free! … It’s now a permanent fixture that definitely makes my home smarter and more efficient.”
Amazon’s No. 1 bestselling robot vacuum is on sale for just $180, down from $275. It sucks up pet hair, dirt and dust from carpets and hard floors — even in tricky corners — on command. Just direct it using your voice, the app or the remote.
The popular pick has some 15,200 five-star fans. “Impressive home vacuum assistant,” wrote one. “It does a great job picking up hair, dust and light debris on the floor. … It does well on hardwood floors, tile, as well as wool and synthetic rugs. It is able to transition over thresholds and even lamp bases. As it is pretty narrow, it slides under the sofa and other furnishings to pick up dust and debris. You can program it to do regular cleanings so if you want the Roomba to clean on Mondays at 9 a.m., it will do it, or you can have it clean manually.”
“Hey, Alexa: How much is an Echo Pop?” Actually, we’ll take this one: The No. 1 bestselling Echo Pop smart speaker is on sale for just $20 in all four colors with Amazon’s 50% off deal. That’s the lowest it’s dropped in months. The diminutive device measures just 3.6 inches tall yet has larger-than-life sound. Like it’s also-on-sale sibling, the Echo Dot, the compact Pop can answer questions, make calls, play music/podcasts/audiobooks, connect with smart home devices and more. There are plenty of privacy features too. Also cool, it’s been fabricated primarily from recycled materials.
One impressed shopper shared, “This new speaker is such a great improvement from the Echo Dot. The aesthetics on it are very nice and I like how it can fit into the corner of a desk or countertop. The sound … is fantastic, and if I didn’t have built-in speakers around the house, I would definitely use this for room-to-room music. … One of the things I was surprised to learn and I love … When you plug in the new Echo Pop, it quickly connects to the [Eero WiFi] network and can tell if you need a Wi-Fi extender in that area. It, itself, is a Wi-Fi extender. When I set one of them up, it extended the Wi-Fi to that part of the house. But in another area, I set up the Echo Pop and it determined on its own that I didn’t need additional coverage in that area. Call me simple, but that is freaking cool.”
If you’ve been pining for a serious, do-it-all Windows laptop that won’t break the bank, check out this HP for just $279 (was $519). Use it for video calls, gaming, streaming movies, working from home or even working from the beach (we see you, anti-glare screen). This model features 8 GB memory and 256 GB of storage.
One happy user shared: “It feels high-end and … durable. I’m a student, so the 14-inch size is perfect for both functionality and portability. The 13th-generation i3 processor is more than enough for what I’m using the laptop for.”
Wow her this Mother’s Day, with a steady stream of photos and videos! This smart 10-inch frame lets you preload photos and videos and send more from afar via the Frameo app. All she’ll need to do is touch the screen to switch photos. (Multipacks are also on sale.)
One delighted shopper wrote, “I love sending and receiving photos on this. It makes me smile to look up and see I’ve been sent new photos. Great way to stay in touch with relatives who don’t live close by. Highly recommend!”
If Apple smartwatches have always seemed just out of reach price-wise, check out this incredible deal: Amazon has marked this Series 9 model down to its lowest price ever: just $299 (our trackers have seen it listed as high as $459 in the past). You can send a text, make a call, stream audio and use safety features, even if you don’t own a phone. It can also track your sleep and fitness metrics and detect falls or heart irregularities. Fans also appreciate the big, bright display.
“I love … monitoring my HR and tracking my workouts,” wrote one fan. “I wear it daily. I’m a nurse and it holds up to all the hand washing, and wipe downs with an alcohol pad. It’s easy to use and set up, will buy again!”
Oprah is totally here for the cargo pant trend and we are too. Today we’re eyeing this multitalented, water-resistant pair that’s on sale for just $30 (was $56). The No. 1 bestsellers are quick-drying and breathable with UPF 50+, zippy pockets and handy drawstrings to nip and tuck where needed. Available in a wide variety of colors, sizes and lengths.
“Basically living in these pants,” wrote one superfan. “They fit perfectly and are super comfortable. The drawcord at the ankle is a nice addition. Got these for a trip and wore them nonstop in all weather; hiked, kayaked, biked and walked everywhere in them. They pack super small and lightweight. Big zippered pockets are actually useful. I stash my phone in a back pocket or the thigh pocket with no annoyance. Now that I’m home these are still my daily go-to pants. May get more in other colors. Ideal for travel and knocking around town.”
Hot deal alert: Grab a No. 1 bestselling cookware set at Amazon for just $60 — that’s 50% off and just a dollar off from the lowest price on record.

You’ll get two frying pans with lids, two saucepans with storage lids, a saute pan and two removable handles (a handy space-saver).
“By far the best pot set I have ever owned,” wrote one five-star reviewer. “The handle clip-on is genius; [with] this feature it is easy to store and easy to put in the fridge once the food cools. The look is very elegant, a simplistic cream color. Easy to clean in the dishwasher and by hand. Heating function wowed me also, it is really hard to burn anything.”
