Apple Beats Flex is on sale for the lowest price ever: $ 40 (save 20%)

Apple’s Beats Flex is basically a 2.0 version of the popular BeatsX, but for half the price. And now it’s even less so: for a limited time, and while stocks last, Amazon has the Beats Flex Wireless Headphones for $ 40 – the lowest price so far. Granted, this is only a $ 10 discount, but it was already a surprisingly good price at $ 50.

While true wireless earbuds are the best at the moment, not everyone wants to cut the cord. So-called neckband phone like the Beats Flex offers two important benefits: it can hang like a pendant when not in use, and you do not have to worry about an earplug falling out and being kicked in a sewer grid.

(True story: once, while making a turn, I managed to knock an AirPod out of my ear and into a snow bank. If I had not seen exactly where it landed, I would probably still be digging for it .)

I’ve not tried it myself yet, so I’ll give you some of David Carnoy’s extensive information Beats Flex review. He likes the sound quality, call quality, battery life, USB-C charging and easy pairing with Apple devices. There is also an Android app, so you do not have to be an iPhone owner to enjoy it.

Less amazing: no carrying case, no IPX rating for water resistance, no “wingtips” to make the buttons sit more securely in your ears.

Still, Carnoy concluded, “At $ 50, it’s worth considering, especially if you want Apple-friendly earbuds and no longer want to shell out for AirPods.”

I would say at $ 40 it is even more worthy. Your thoughts?

Improve your attitude with the BetterBack for $ 42.50 (save $ 17.50)

Just because you work from home does not mean you sit less in office than before. In fact, the chances are good that it means you are sitting more. The question is, how is your attitude? Do you often find yourself weakening? Do you experience back pain?

Here’s a drug-free remedy that can help: For a limited time, Cheapskate readers can get the as-seen-on-Shark-Tank BetterBack Luxury Attitude Support for $ 42.50 with promotional code CHEAP15. Regular Price: $ 60.

This thing is cool. It is completely independent and zips into its own case when not in use. This is mostly because the instructions say you should only wear it for 15 minutes a day.

To do this, place the pillow just around your low back and then place the two straps around your knees. Presto: perfect attitude, or at least that’s the claim.

Note: you can get the Therapy version of this for just a few dollars more. It has a removable hot / cold insert that can help if you are looking for pain relief.
