First, Amazon is offering the Audio Technica ATH-M50x headphones for $ 129 , which is an all-time low. This is the detachable cable variant of the venerable ATH-M50, which you named one of your favorite pairs of headphones on Lifehacker, and which can be seen on the heads of many in Gawker offices.

Here’s what Will Leitch said about it in The Concourse :

Of course, the plot shenanigans that lead to the final scenes are implausible and a little deceiving. But so what ? Complaining with such a reward is not good. It’s a gripping, electrifying film about an obsessed drummer (Miles Teller) nudged by a demanding music teacher (J.K.Simmons in an Oscar-winning role) that makes R. Lee Ermey look like Mr. Holland’s Opus. but it is also a thoughtful, fascinating reflection on the value of a genius … and on whether a genius just happens or needs to be born. I’m sure no jazz school is really like this – and thank God for that – but of course it’s not just about jazz: it’s about how we push ourselves, how others push us, and if some of this ultimately matters at all. And, damn it, this finale: you will leave the theater in a dead jerk in search of someone to take on.

PS4 deals are no longer uncommon, but today we found two that are better than average.

First, Newegg is uploading bare consoles to eBay for $ 350 , tax-free for most buyers. Unfortunately, they don’t seem to come with the standard The Last of Us Remastered download codes, but we see them quite often for ~ $ 20 so it doesn’t really matter. [ PlayStation 4 console , $ 350]

If you need additional accessories, GameStop sells the console, The Last of Us , an annual PlayStation Plus and PlayStation TV for $ 450 . Buying all of this gear individually usually costs up to $ 520 north, so this is a great chance to save money if you want it all anyway. [ PS4 + The Last of Us + 1 Year Plus + PlayStation TV , $ 450]

Greenman Gaming is offering great deals on new and upcoming digital games as part of a VIP sale. Here are a few highlights, but check out the full list to find out more . I personally prefer Cities: Skylines.

Gizmodo EIC Annalee Newitz talked about her new Android compatible flash drive over the weekend, and today we found a great deal for a similar item . It still has a microUSB connector opposite the standard USB, but it’s even smaller than the Corsair she wrote about, and cheaper. So why do you need one of these things?

The great thing is that it has a micro USB connector on one side and USB 3.0 on the other. Perfect for transferring all pictures and videos from my phone to another machine. I always carry a spare stick with me and this was a big update – mostly because I got tired of uploading files from my phone to Dropbox or Drive to upload to my laptop. I want to store things locally and not stream them through someone else’s server farm.

I will also add that they are great for storing movies and other media for long trips, especially if your phone or tablet is low on storage space. But whatever your motives, we don’t know how long this deal will last, so take it while you can . Smaller capacities are also available at lower prices. [ Kingston Data Traveler 64GB , $ 29]
