Considering that most premium noise-cancelling earbuds run for $299 and up these days, the $249 AirPods Pro are a surprisingly good value.

A good way to squeeze even more value from the Apple buds is grabbing them on sale. If you're willing to opt for an open box option, Best Buy currently offers the best deal possible: as of March 2, you can grab the Apple AirPods Pro 3 for just $154.99. That knocks an impressive $94.01 off their list price, for a pair of earbuds that look and work like new.

At the time of writing, a new version of the AirPods Pro 3 are on sale for $219. According to the price tracker camelcamelcamel, the lowest price they've ever hit is $184, making this open box option cheaper by nearly $30.

So what makes the AirPods Pro 3 so great? For starters, they have excellent noise cancellation. Mashable contributor Adam Doud wrote in his review that popping in the buds had the effect of making it feel as if "nothing else in the world existed." Naturally, they also deliver on their sound quality, offering a relatively straightforward profile (not overly bass-heavy or thin), with spatial audio features. The five sizes of silicone ear tips help you get the best possible fit, while the eight hours of battery life per charge help prevent interrupted listening.

Beyond the average earbud experience, Pros offer features like live translation and heart rate monitoring, also making them a great option for traveling and working out.

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...
