Right now Amazon has a great deal featuring a Ring Video Doorbell Pro and the Amazon Echo Show 5 on sale for $179. Both items are certified refurbished and work like new. If you were to buy these individually refurbished, the Ring video doorbell would cost you $180 by itself. The Echo Show 5 goes for around $60 as a refurb, so you’re saving $60 just compared to that. Brand new versions of the Ring device and the Echo Show 5 would run you almost $320.

These two devices make a great pairing. The Echo Show 5 has a 5.5-inch compact display and Alexa built right in. You can use it to control your entire smart home, but you can also use Alexa to check in on your Ring device and see who’s at the door. Thanks to the Video Doorbell Pro’s built-in speakers and mic, you can talk to visitors without leaving your kitchen. You can also get alerts sent straight to your device any time the Ring Video Doorbell Pro detects motion or someone rings the doorbell.

Outside of checking on the front door, …

Best Buy has a whole new set of deals of the day, and the Anker Soundcore Liberty 2 Pro true wireless earbuds are part of the savings. Get a pair for $129.99, which is down from the usual price of $150 and a match for one of the lowest we’ve seen this year. The last time we saw them go any lower than this was back in February when they dropped to $120. You can also find today’s drop on Amazon, and that sale includes the white versions.

These earbuds have eight hours of playtime per earbud, and you can use the earbuds independently to extend that use. The charging case they come with adds another three full recharges before you ever need to plug into a wire to juice back up. With a quick charge of just 10 minutes inside the case you can get an extra two hours of playtime. Plus, the charging case can be recharged via USB-C or a Qi-compatible wireless charging pad, giving you plenty of options for keeping these batteries topped off. RAVPower has a wireless charging pad on sale for $5 o…

After several delays and a few fights in Florida, the UFC is returning to Las Vegas! The next UFC Fight Night will go live on May 30 with a headliner featuring former UFC Welterweight Champion Tyron Woodley and the #6 ranked welterweight Gilbert Burns. The fight will take place at UFC Apex, a brand-new production facility dedicated to all things UFC. Not only is this notable for being the first fight to take place at Apex, it’s also important because the fight will feature a smaller 25-foot Octagon instead of the regular 30-foot space for fighters. The idea here is to have more fights that end in finishes instead of decisions. It will definitely keep the fighters closer together, and hopefully that means more action.

Woodley vs. Burns is an interesting matchup. Both fighters have similar records at 19-4-1 and 18-3 respectively. Woodley weighs about 15 pounds more and has a longer reach and leg reach, but we’ll see how the smaller fighting space impacts his ability to keep Burns at a d…

The Vantrue N2 Pro 1080p dual dash cam is down to $142.99 as part of Newegg’s Shell Shocker deals. These are temporary deals and new ones get released every day, so expect this price to not last long. The same dash cam goes for $200 at other retailers including Amazon. We have seen it go lower in the past but not since last year, so if you’re looking for a really strong dash cam right now (and everyone should have one because you never know what’s going to happen the next time you drive), then this is the best price on a great model.

This is a dual dash cam capable of capturing both the road ahead of you and the inside of your car. The front-facing camera can record in 1440p at 30 frames per second or 1080p at 60 fps. Other features include a 170-degree wide angle lens, night vision, motion detection, and a Time Lapse function that lets you control changes over a long period of time. The front-facing camera has a unique HDR video system that helps balance the light and dark areas. T…

WorldWideStereo on eBay has the Sonos Playbar HiFi soundbar on sale for $399 refurbished. WWS is a Sonos authorized dealer, and this refurb unit is covered by a full Sonos one-year warranty. New versions of the Playbar still sell for around $600 or more at retailers like Best Buy. Finding it on sale at all has always been unusual, so finding it for this low and fully covered by Sonos is a tremendous deal.

Earlier this month, Sonos announced the followup to the Playbar called the Sonos Arc. The Playbar is one of Sonos’ older devices for sure, so it’s nice to see a new version coming out. However, the Arc is going to launch at a starting price of $800 and won’t come down from that price anytime soon. If you’re looking to break into the Sonos ecosystem in a more affordable way, the deal above is how to do it.

The Sonos Playbar is a great sound bar, especially if you’re interested in getting a full-blown Sonos home audio system eventually. It’s easy to set up and use (seriously, one co…

Next time someone says “Knock knock?” just open your Eufy app and identify the culprit! Grab the Eufy Security Wi-Fi 2K video doorbell on sale for $99.99 and sold by Anker Direct (Eufy is an Anker brand). We have seen this video doorbell go on sale before, but the previous best price ever was a drop to $108 about a month ago. Today’s deal is a brand new low.

Don’t let strangers ruin your routine anymore. You can view a live stream of who’s at the door and go over recorded footage later with Eufy’s video doorbell. It has a 2560 x 1920 resolution for images and video, and it uses advanced HDR with distortion correction to ensure you get quality video every time.

With two-way audio, you can hear and speak directly to anyone who approaches your door. This is a great way to communicate with delivery drivers, to let guests know you’ve stepped away for a second, or to have a quick conversation with the neighbor about the tool he insists you have.

The camera uses advanced AI technology an…

It’s the perfect time in the yearly rotation for TVs because new models have been out long enough that retailers are eager to get rid of the previous year models, and this is also long enough for some of the new models to drop from those high-end MSRP prices.

Best Buy has the 2nd-generation Amazon Echo Plus smart speaker for $50 off, and you’ll get an Amazon Smart Plug and Philips Hue smart bulb thrown in for free. So not only are you only paying $99.99 instead of $150, you’re getting about $40 worth of free stuff.

Amazon’s Echo Plus was the first of Amazon’s devices to be able to handle the Zigbee wireless protocol. That means of all of Amazon’s smart speakers, it is the most robust and capable of handling a lot more than the others. Connect to the Echo Plus via Zigbee, Bluetooth, or by just using your Wi-Fi network. You can control your entire smart home from this device since it has Alexa built right in, too.

Not only that, but the Echo Plus has 360-degree sound with a powerful speaker using a 1.32-inch tweeter and 3-inch woofer.
