Streaming is broken. Your favorite movies disappear, hop between platforms or get locked behind new paywalls. You don’t really own anything, you just rent it until it vanishes — again. That’s why physical media is having a comeback moment. And, if you’ve got a stack of DVDs collecting dust, this new DVD ripper software can turn them into stream-from-anywhere files.

You can download DVDneXtCOPY DVD Ripper for Windows for $29.99 (MSRP $59.99).

Alternatively, if you’re looking for a DVD ripper for Mac, check out our deal on MacX DVD Ripper Pro. It’s available for the same price.

Best Amazon Prime Day Deals
All the best Apple gear at a steep discount — right here.

It’s that time of year again — Amazon Prime Day. The summer deals run from July 8 – 11. So the early deals flowed starting over the weekend, with the full-on sale hitting with even better deals on Tuesday through Friday.

We’ll show you the best Amazon Prime Day deals on Apple gear, from AirPods to iPads to MacBooks to the Studio Display. And that includes Apple audio subsidiary Beats, too. Click on the links below, and return to this page often — deals are subject to change, often for the better, and we’ll add more as we find them.

Ready for sublime headphone sound? Get my top Prime Day Sennheiser deal. [Still going!]

Prime Day Sennheiser
$305 off is a great deal on these phenomenal wired headphones.

I’ve long been a fan of great sound. But I hesitate to call myself an “audiophile” simply because I’m not a wealthy man. And yet even I can dabble in solid audio because so many affordable products continue to up the ante — including my favorite personal headphones. Behold the Sennheiser HD660S2 open-back cans. An audiophile of means might scoff at spending only several hundred bucks, but the joke’s on them. Thanks to Amazon, this Prime Day Sennheiser deal gets you these great wired, open-back cans for a mere $375 (as of Wednesday evening; the fluctuating price went up about $14 as of Thursday morning).

That’s not nothing, obviously. But it’s a lot more affordable than the $1,000 or more that many audiophile cans command.

If you’re like me, Amazon Prime Day is partly about scoring cool stuff you otherwise find uncomfortably pricey. I can’t go around buying every set of headphones and earbuds that catch my eye. But with Prime Day headphones deals, maybe I can sneak something sweet-sounding past my sense of guilt, you know?

And so can you! Check out some of the absolute best Amazon Prime Days deals on headphones and earbuds below. I found wishlist-worthy cans and buds with savings of $100 or more (in some cases, much more — even discounts of $305 off primo open-back cans, $315 off top noise-canceling headphones and $150 off some seriously nice earbuds).

Prime Day slashes $400 off Apple’s best Mac monitor

If not the best, Apple’s Studio Display is among the best displays you can get for your Mac. The nano-texture glass makes it an even better monitor, cutting down on unwanted reflections.

But despite its age, Apple wants a steep $1,899 for the Studio Display with nano-texture glass. Amazon’s amazing Prime Day deal makes things a lot more reasonable, by slashing its price down by $399.01.
