10 things worth it this week: big price drops

These are over-ear noise-canceling headphones that shut out the world very well. They are down to $169 from $359, which is a rare drop for Bose. They sound great, rest easily on your head, and the battery holds up for long trips. The trade-off is that they stick to physical buttons instead of tap controls, and you do not get spatial audio features here.

This is a simple indoor security camera that plugs into the wall. At $24 down from $59, it is an easy buy if you already have Ring gear at home and want to keep an eye on a hallway or living room. Setup takes just a few minutes and the picture stays sharp in dim light. Just keep in mind it needs an outlet nearby to run.

These are men's running shoes built for everyday miles or quick workouts. They are down to $85 from $180, which is more than half off. The foam gives you a nice bounce without weighing your feet down on long walks or jogs. The catch is that stock moves fast at this price, so sizing and fit can be hit or miss right now.

This is a 27-inch computer screen for your home desk, selling for around $324. It won top marks from PCWorld because the colors look deep and black, the picture refreshes smoothly at 120Hz, and it has plenty of plug-in ports for laptops and accessories. It is built strictly for work and everyday tasks, not high-end competitive gaming, but your eyes will thank you.

This is an automatic watch with a classic diver look, priced around $269. It winds itself from the movement of your wrist, so you never need to buy a battery. It has a clear back so you can see the inner gears moving, along with the day and date on the black face. At 42.5 mm, it is somewhat large, so check your wrist size.

This is a holiday countdown box filled with 24 mini jars of fruit preserves, costing about $56. NBC Selected named it their favorite overall calendar because the spreads keep their fresh taste and come in special flavors you cannot buy alone. The sturdy box opens like a hardcover book and stands on your counter. Just order early because these tend to sell out.

These are open-toe platform sandals with a chunky block heel, marked down to $35.99 from $45.99. They use a soft square toe and a four-millimeter cushioned foam footbed to keep your feet from aching after a long night out. The ankle strap keeps them secure while you walk. They are made from synthetic leather, which wipes clean easily but is not genuine hide.

This is a two-month bottle of daily herbal tablets, discounted to $30.99 from $39.59. It is made by Solaray for folks who take St. John's Wort as part of their regular morning routine. You only have to swallow one pill a day, so the bottle of sixty lasts a full two months. Be sure to check with your doctor first if you take other prescriptions.

This is a classic women's short-sleeve crewneck shirt in a bright coral shade, down to $78.99 from $89.79. It comes straight from the official Guess line with tags intact. The fabric is pure cotton, made in Turkey, which means it feels soft and breathes well during warm spring and summer days. It is a brighter color, so it works best as a simple statement top.

This is a casual men's graphic tee from North Sails, down to $50.99 from $55. It is brand new with tags and cut from pure cotton that you can throw on all year round under a jacket or on its own. The grey color makes it very easy to match with regular jeans or shorts. It is a straight everyday staple, nothing overly flashy.
