The weekend’s best deals: HBO Max, new AirPods, Apple Watch Series 7, and more

It's time for another Dealmaster. Our latest roundup of the best deals we can find from around the web includes a rare discount on HBO Max subscriptions. Right now, new or lapsed subscribers to the video streaming service can take 20 percent off the cost of a monthly subscription, for up to 12 months in total. The deal applies to both the ad-supported and ad-free plans, bringing them down to $8 per month (from $10) and $12 per month (from $15), respectively. If you run the offer out for the full 12 months, it'll result in a $24 discount for those who subscribe to the ad-supported tier, or a $36 discount for those who go for the ad-free option. The deal doesn't lock you into subscribing for a set period of time, but note that, by default, the service will be set to auto-renew at the usual monthly price once your discounted period ends. The service's offer page says this deal is for the US only and will last until January 25.
While the deal doesn't apply to existing subscribers or HBO Max's annual plans, this is still decent savings for those who were already thinking of giving the service a go. Warner Bros. doesn't plan to release major films on HBO Max and in theaters simultaneously going forward, but if you need something new to binge, the service still has a good amount of fare we like, from the latest Matrix film (until January 21, at least) to newer shows like The White Lotus, The Nevers, Hacks, and Succession. Classics like The Sopranos and Curb Your Enthusiasm are still there as well.
If you're already overloaded with streaming services, though, our roundup has plenty more tech deals of note. The Apple Watch Series 7, our top smartwatch pick, is within $10 of the lowest price we've tracked, while Jabra's Elite 75t, a pair of noise-canceling true wireless headphones we recommend, are within $5 of their all-time low. The newest Apple AirPods are back down to a low of $140 and could fit the bill for those who prefer a more open earbud design, while the PC version of 2021 Ars game of the year Psychonauts 2 is discounted to $36. We've also got discounts on Nintendo Switch games and accessories, Wacom drawing tablets, and iPhone screen protectors, among other gear. You can check out the full list below.
