The best open earbuds can sound rich, robust, and clear, despite their design.

Considering that open earbuds sit outside the ear canal, it's not the easiest feat. It's one of the reason the Bose Ultra Open earbuds stood out to me when I tested them. It's also one of the reasons the earbuds are priced the way they are, at $299.

Though the price point is steep, it's much more manageable if you can grab them on sale. And as of Feb. 23, the Bose Ultra Open earbuds aren't just on sale — they're available for their lowest price ever, at $179.99. You'll find the deal at Woot, a retailer that typically sells refurbished and new products. For these Bose earbuds, you can grab them in an unopened box in the black, lunar blue, and white smoke colorway.

At the time of writing, the Bose buds are available at Amazon for full price — on sale, we've seen them drop as low as $199 at the retailer, but never lower.

So what makes the Bose open earbuds worth the hefty price tag? At their best, open earbuds walk the line between keeping you aware of the world around you while also letting you enjoy your listening experience. The Bose Ultra Open earbuds have a clip design, which hooks around the ear — in my testing, I found them to be one of the most comfortable pairs of open earbuds available. Mashable contributor RJ Andersen also wrote the buds were "hands down the most comfortable earbuds I've ever tried," in her review. In addition, they truly are one of the best sounding open earbuds money can buy.

Their main drawbacks are their more limited battery life (which tops out at four hours with immersive audio on, and seven with it off) and high price point. At least with this deal, one of those points is taken care of.

When the clocks change for Daylight Saving Time, and why we do it at all

The clocks on our smartphones do something bizarre twice a year: One day in the spring, they jump ahead an hour, and our alarms go off an hour sooner. We wake up bleary-eyed and confused until we remember what just happened. Afterward, "Daylight Saving Time" becomes the norm for about eight months (And yes, it's called "Daylight Saving" not "Daylight Savings." I don't make the rules). Then, in the fall, the opposite happens. Our clocks set themselves back an hour, and we wake up refreshed, if a little uneasy.  Mild chaos ensues at both annual clock changes. What feels like an abrupt and drastic lengthening or shortening of the day causes time itself to seem fictional. Babies and dogs demand that their old sleep and feeding habits remain unchanged. And more consequential effects — for better or worse — may be involved as well (more on which in a minute). Changing our clocks is an all-out attack on our perception of time as an immutable law of ...

A speeding black hole is birthing baby stars across light years

Astronomers think they have discovered a supermassive black hole traveling away from its home galaxy at 4 million mph — so fast it's not doing what it's notorious for: sucking light out of the universe. Quite the opposite, possibly. Rather than ripping stars to shreds and swallowing up every morsel, this black hole is believed to be fostering new star formation, leaving a trail of newborn stars stretching 200,000 light-years through space . Pieter van Dokkum, an astronomy professor at Yale University, said as the black hole rams into gas, it seems to trigger a narrow corridor of new stars, where the gas has a chance to cool. How exactly it works, though, isn't known, said van Dokkum, who led research on the phenomenon captured by NASA 's Hubble Space Telescope accidentally. A paper on the findings was published last week in The Astrophysical Journal Letters . “What we’re seeing is the aftermath," he said in a statement . "Like the wake behind a ship, we’r...
