These $200 Beats PowerBeats Pro 2 Wireless Earbuds Just Matched Their Best-Ever Deal

The Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 have only been around for a little while, and they're from one of the biggest names in wireless earbuds. As is often the case with Beats earbuds, they're designed with the gym squarely in mind, but at $250, they are far from cheap.

Other features worth calling out include Apple's H2 chip, which brings support for instant device pairing and switching as well as audio sharing, Find My and hands-free Siri. Beats has also given these earbuds their own heart rate monitoring technology, too.

I Was Overwhelmed by Mattress Shopping. This $374 Mattress Topper Bought Me a Few More Comfortable Years

CNET's key takeaways The ErgoAlign Mattress Topper from Helix normally costs $499 but it's on sale right now for $374 for the queen and $328 for the full size. It's a comfortable, band-aid solution until my next big mattress purchase. But it's pricier than other mattress toppers. The Nest Bedding Cooling Topper is $100 less, for example. I'm reaching the eight-year mark with my current mattress -- it's time to shop for a new one. But when I look around at the available mattress options, I get overwhelmed by the number of choices. I felt rushed into my last mattress purchase because I was moving and needed to make a quick decision on a budget. This time, I want to do it right and make the best mattress choice for my body and for my money. As a sleep-deprived working mom of two young children, I appreciate the relief a comfortable bed can bring to my aches and pains. Yes, I am one of the 46% of adult Americans (CNET survey) willing to invest in better mattresses. And I'm ready to pay a pretty penny for my next mattress upgrade. But I need more time. I tested this ErgoAlign Mattress Topper by Helix for 60 days. It's not a long-term solution to my problems, but it gives me the comfort and time that I need until I make a bigger and more expensive decision. It's on the pricier side, though: Up to $500 at regular price. CNET's best mattress topper, the Nest Bedding Cooling Topper for example, costs $100 to $150 less. These large stretchy straps help secure this topper in place -- no sliding. Katie Collins My experience with the Helix ErgoAlign mattress topper. My first impression was one of surprise. The last time I slept on a mattress topper, it was one of those cheaper $50 foam toppers. I didn't expect the topper to be as comfortable as it was. It arrived in a vacuum wrapping. Once opened, it expanded immediately -- no waiting. I was struck by how the material did not have a chemical smell to it that we sometimes get from mattress toppers or beds in a box. I ordered the king size, so it was a bit heavy to lift onto the bed with effort but doable for one person. I laid it right on top of my current mattress and used the attached straps to secure it in place so it didn't slide around. I slept on this for 60 days, and I find that I relax and fall asleep faster, I wake up less frequently for no reason (it's a mom thing), and my hips and shoulders aren't achy at wake up as they were before. The specs GlacioTex cooling cover Three Support zones for the spine, midsection and shoulders for the spine, midsection and shoulders Sturdy corner straps to keep topper in place Free shipping in the US Thickness: 3 inches 3 inches Retail price: $498.66 $498.66 Sale Price: $374 $374 Available sizes: Twin, twin XL, full, queen, king, California king Twin, twin XL, full, queen, king, California king 100-night sleep trial One-year limited warranty Materials: Top cover, 50/50 blend of polyester and polyethylene. Interior, Top cover, 50/50 blend of polyester and polyethylene. Interior, Copper gel memory foam and high-density foam. Made in the US These large stretchy straps help secure this topper in place even for deep and tall mattress types. The material is waterproof. Katie Collins CNET's buying advice Overall, my experience with this mattress topper is ultrapositive. It's one of the more expensive mattress toppers available, but at $380 to $400, it buys me another year or two of time before I make my next big mattress decision. For $400, you could skip the topper and buy a brand new mattress. The Ashley Home Signature Design and the Rolanstar are both less than $350 right now. But for a long-term, king-size mattress with the level of support I'm looking for, I'm probably going to spend between $1,000 and $2,000 from a premium brand. For now, I find this mattress topper so comfortable, I may just take my sweet time deciding. If you're like me and seeking a band-aid solution to your current mattress situation and you want hip and shoulder support, you will be happy with the Helix ErgoAlign. If price is your sticking point, CNET's sleep experts tested dozens of other mattress toppers that we love and are much cheaper. The most comparable mattress topper we tested is the Layla Memory Foam Topper, our best foam mattress topper for side sleepers. The Layla uses a similar copper gel-infused foam, adding buoyancy and contouring support as the Helix ErgoAlign but for $250 -- $100 to $150 less. A good budget pick for a new mattress topper is the Linenspa Memory Foam Topper for $60. And if you are ready for your next mattress decision, see CNET's picks for all types of mattresses by sleep type.

Apple is reportedly considering the acquisition of Perplexity AI

Apple's executives are thinking of acquiring Perplexity AI both to get more talent and to be able to offer an AI-based search engine in the future, according to Bloomberg . Adrian Perica, Apple's head of mergers and acquisitions, has reportedly already talked about the idea with services SVP Eddy Cue and the company's top decision-makers with it comes to its AI efforts. It's early stages, however: Apple has yet to talk to Perplexity about a bid, and the internal talks may not even lead to a formal offer. The executives also reportedly discussed an alternative, wherein instead of buying Perplexity outright, it'll team up with the AI company instead. Either way, the idea is to develop an AI search engine powered by Perplexity and to integrate Perplexity's technology into Siri. While Apple has yet to make a formal offer, Bloomberg says it met several times with Perplexity over the past few months. In May, Cue revealed that Apple discussed a possible Safari-integration with Perplexity while on the stand for Google's ongoing Search antitrust case. Cue took the stand due to Apple's long-standing deal with Google to make its search engine the default on the iPhone. (In turn, Apple gets billions of dollars a year — $18 billion in 2021 — from the arrangement.) Cue didn't share any definitive plans, however, including the possibility of an acquisition. If regulators order Apple to end its partnership with Google, purchasing Perplexity would make it easier for the company to develop an AI-based search engine. In addition, it would allow the company to acquire talent needed to be able to catch up with other companies when it comes to artificial intelligence. Apple, like Meta, has been scouting for new AI talent. Bloomberg says it's even competing against the Facebook owner to hire Daniel Gross, the founder of AI company Safe Superintelligence Inc. The company does seem to need help to be able to release the AI features it wants to provide its users. A few months ago, for instance, Apple delayed the rollout of a more powerful Siri that was a key component of its original pitch for Apple Intelligence.
