Apple Airpods pro: Was £249, now £189.97, Very.co.uk

(Apple)

The latest version of Apple’s wireless headphones left our tech writer impressed in their review, and is one of the most popular earphone designs on the market. “The tips are impressively non-intrusive, yet managed to fit snugly in any ear we threw at them, they’re one of the most comfortable pairs of earphones we’ve ever worn – you can hardly feel them,” said our reviewer, who also rated the audio quality in equal measure.

“They have a lovely, warm sound to them, beautifully balanced across the register. Apple’s adaptive EQ automatically tunes low and mid frequencies to the shape of your ear, which kicks in the longer you listen.”

Apple AirPods (2019) with charging case: Was £159, now £123.98, Very.co.uk

(Apple)

If you’re looking for the cheaper, slightly less new pair of AirPods for all your music, podcasts and phone call needs, the original pair is also on sale.

According to our reviewer, these are some of the very lightest in-ears you can find. ”The design is unchanged since day one, but improved electronics inside mean that, like on the Pro model, you can say, ‘Hey, Siri’ to invoke the virtual assistant without even touching the earbuds,” they said.

Shark anti hair wrap upright vacuum cleaner: Was £329, now £199, Very.co.uk

(Shark)

Appearing in our guide to the best pet vacuum cleaners, our reviewer praised this model from Shark, calling it a “versatile machine with some nifty pet-related tricks up its sleeve”, such as a soft roller that works in conjunction with the anti-hair-wrap brush to catch longer hairs.

“At the flick of a switch, you can select whether you’re cleaning hard floor or carpet with the brushes running faster to cope with the latter,” they added, so if you’ve got a pet that’s constantly moulting, snap this up while it has £130 off.

ghd rise professional hot brush: Was £169, now £135, Very.co.uk

(ghd)

If you’re keen to recreate a bouncy, voluminous blow-dry at home, ghd’s rise hot brush is essential for your styling routine. Simply brush it through dry hair to create gentle curls in minutes.

Our reviewer found it worked wonders to keep hair wavy and bouncy late into the evening. “We put this down to the nylon bristles, which are short and flexible enough to lift from the root,” they said, adding, “The styling process is effortless, it’s one of the lightest, least cumbersome hair tools we’ve ever tried.”

Need more convincing? “After taking just 25 seconds to heat up (it will ding to let you know it’s done) it’s quick to transform even the rattiest, tangled bed head into waves, bouncy curls, or salon-worthy root volume.”
