Why You Can Trust CNET The top-rated Tribit XFree Tune wireless over-the-ear headphones drop to just $32.49
A killer gift for Mom, Dad or grad, these were already a steal at $50. Plus: an awesome sci-fi novel for $2.
The folding Tribit XFree Tune headphones look and sound luxurious, but the price tag is all cheapskate.
Just last year, CNET audio guru David Carnoy was delighted to discover that the $50 Tribit XFree Tune over-the-ear wireless headphones offered "terrific sound for the money."
Right now, today, I'm delighted to tell you that Cheapskate readers can score the Tribit XFree Tune over-the-ear wireless headphones for $32.49. That's after clicking the on-page 5% off coupon and then applying promo code DLTXFREE at checkout.
Carnoy's XFree Tune review is the best place to start if you want the full scoop on these, as I haven't had the chance to try them myself.
I can tell you that the carrying case is included at this price; it's not $5 extra as mentioned in the review. And speaking of reviews, the headphones scored a genuinely impressive 4.6-star average rating from over 700 buyers.
Other important things to know: Tribit promises a whopping 40 hours of playtime on a charge (though it takes a full 4 hours to recharge), and you can also bypass Bluetooth in favor of a wired connection (cord included), which requires no power at all.
I think these would make a great gift for a mom, dad or grad.

Bonus deal: One of my favorite recent sci-fi books is on sale for $2
Not to be confused with the sci-fi TV series of the same name, Dark Matter by Blake Crouch is a twisty, trippy sci-fi novel that was among my favorite reads of the past few years.
The Kindle edition normally sells for $10, but for a limited time, you can grab Dark Matter for just $2. If you're more into the Barnes & Noble or Google Play e-book ecosystems, it's on sale in both those stores for the same price.
I'll just add that this isn't "hard sci-fi," if that's what you're hoping for. Rather, it's a fast-paced page-turner, with some fresh twists on old tropes. I couldn't put it down.
