Deal Roundup: 128GB microSD cards, wireless headphones and DJI Phantom 3 Advanced
We’ve gathered up a few great deals from around the web for you to peruse while you relax this weekend.
If you are considering picking up that new Asus ZenFone 2 Deluxe Special Edition (or one of the other remaining phones with a microSD slot) and want to max out your storage then the PNY 128GB microSD is the cheapest way to achieve that goal that we’ve seen yet. Today on Amazon the Class 10 128GB microSD card from PNY is marked down to $51.98, which is $10-$20 cheaper than you will normally find it.
Bluetooth headphones are a real upgrade when working out or basically moving around at all. After years of having headphones yanked either out of my smartphone or my ears due to cords finding anything in range to wrap themselves around I have switched almost exclusively to BT models. The one downside to this policy is that they can get a bit expensive, so an inexpensive pair that actually works well always gets my attention. These sport headphones from Aukey are well reviewed and available for just $18 on Amazon today with the code GD3NRDSX. I doubt you’ll find a better price on reliable BT headphones than that.
This last deal is a bit of a pricey one, but since it’s for one of the best consumer quadcopters around I thought I’d post it anyway. The DJI Phantom 3 Advanced is the mid-range of the new Phantom 3 line from DJI with the same advanced controller, GPS and some other high-end features from the Pro model, but with 1080p rather than 4K video capture. For most of us that compromise is worth the several hundred dollars you could save by going with this deal versus the Pro model. The deal that is available on eBay at the moment gets you the DJI Phantom 3 Advanced along with a $150 Visa gift card for $999. That’s the same price as you would typically pay for the Phantom 3 Advanced and of course you will be saving yourself tax in most locations and picking up a $150 Visa gift card that is essentially cash. All in all it’s a solid deal on some of the latest and greatest from DJI.
