The Best Deals From the Silk & Snow Cyber Week Sale (2025)
I try to test every individual product critically and neutrally, but sometimes a brand comes along that seemingly cannot miss. We have liked everything we've tried from Silk & Snow, and right now the company is hosting a Cyber Week Sale that runs through December 7. You can save on some of our favorite bed frames and mattresses that we've tested long-term in our own homes, and if you prefer to browse on your own, the sale offers up to 35 percent off site-wide. I've rounded up the highlights on WIRED-tested gear below.WIRED Featured Deals:Silk & Snow Bed Frame With Drawer Storage for $560 ($140 off)Courtesy of Silk & SnowSilk & SnowBed Frame With StorageIn our Bed Frame Buying Guide, I say that Silk & Snow could charge more for this bed frame—but right now, it's 20 percent off. Assembly is a little bit annoying. But the fabric-covered headboard is gorgeous, and the frame is sturdy. My favorite part is the drawer cleverly concealed at the foot of the frame, with its two partitions and its magnetic closure. It does feel a little jarring if you open and close the drawer while your partner is in bed, but I like having extra storage in my room, especially since this frame is too low to the ground to allow for stashing things under it.Silk & Snow S&S Organic Mattress for $765 ($235 off)Courtesy of Silk & SnowSilk & SnowS&S Organic MattressThe S&S Organic Mattress is the best organic latex mattress. It's very soft and offers a lot of pressure relief and support, but the responsive material means it's better suited to solo sleepers than it is to couples. It feels like a soft, dense marshmallow, per our sleep reviewer Julia Forbes, who advises using lightweight blankets and cooling sheets if you're a hot sleeper and also raved about the lengthy year-long sleep trial. As part of the Cyber Week sale, you can choose between a free sleep bundle (with a sheet set, a duvet, two microfiber pillows, and a mattress protector) or you can opt out of the bundle to get an extra 10 percent off your mattress.Silk & Snow Wooden Bed Frame for $1,040 ($260 off)Photograph: Julia ForbesPhotograph: Julia ForbesPhotograph: Julia ForbesPhotograph: Julia ForbesSilk & SnowWooden Bed FrameThis bed frame from Silk & Snow made our list of the best Thuma dupes. The Japanese joinery platform frame comes in your choice of natural rubber wood or cortado acacia wood, each in two different finishes. Assembly is pretty easy and doesn't require any special tools, and you'll get a robust five-year warranty. The resulting frame is sturdy and gorgeous, though we recommend having a helper around if you need to disassemble the frame to protect the finish on the wood.Power up with unlimited access to WIRED.

I tested these officially licensed earbuds for Nintendo Switch 2 – are they really worth buying?

TechRadar Verdict

The PowerA Wired Earbuds for Nintendo Switch 2 don’t do anything spectacular, but then again, they never had to. They’re budget-friendly, decent-sounding in-ears with a neat slider to mute yourself in GameChat, a secure fit, and a convenient carry case. Their main flaw relates to mic quality, which could be better. You won’t get perfect audio at peak volumes either, but for the price, they remain a pretty good value option.

Pros

+Generally clear audio output
+Convenient mute slider
+Low-price, good overall value for money

Cons

-Some static when using mic
-Not flashy looking
-Treble can get harsh at high volumes

PowerA Wired Earbuds for Nintendo Switch 2: one-minute reviewThe PowerA Wired Earbuds for Nintendo Switch 2 are a simple yet effective way to enjoy handheld gaming sessions in seclusion. These buds are licensed by Nintendo and aim to deliver dynamic sound, ergonomic comfort, and clear mic quality. And they largely deliver on that, though there are some notable flaws to uncover.For wired buds that typically cost $24.99 / £19.99 / AU$39, and regularly fall to a considerably lower cost, I wasn’t expecting all too much from the PowerA Wired Earbuds for Nintendo Switch 2. And although they don't do anything special sonically speaking, they still have all the fundamental talents required for solid-sounding in-game experiences.For instance, they offer up clear dialogue quality – something all of the best gaming earbuds should do. When playing through the spectacular Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake, speech-heavy scenes never sounded muffled or obscured, even when the game's imposing orchestral soundtrack entered the fray.You're not going to experience beautifully separated vocals or a wide open soundstage, but for the price, you still get the clean sound quality required to enjoy the best Nintendo Switch 2 games or beautiful in-game soundtracks.

(Image credit: Future)The convenient mic mute slider is very handy if you're making use of GameChat via Nintendo Switch Online. Simply flick it up and your pals won't be able to hear you whatsoever.However, I would've liked the inbuilt mic to sound a bit better, as I could make out static in the background while using it. Don't get me wrong, my words were still easily discernible when performing a quality test – just don't expect above average mic performance.Looks-wise these wired earbuds aren't all too flashy. They're black and red – much like the right Joy-Con 2 controller, and come with a handy carry case. The build quality of these buds is fairly average given that they're made of plastic, but that's fine considering their extremely budget-friendly cost. And in fairness, I still found them to be pretty comfortable, which isn't always the case for me when searching for the best wired earbuds.So, at the end of it all, would I recommend the PowerA Wired Earbuds for Nintendo Switch 2? Well, that would depend. I’ve seen these drop as low as £11 in the UK, so if you’re on a tight budget, they’d give you decent overall audio with equally decent comfort, as well as a tidy carry case. However, there are some notable drawbacks, like a flawed mic and a basic build.If you’ve got a bit more cash to play with, I’d perhaps check out some more premium wired earbuds, or even a headset from our Nintendo Switch 2 accessories guide. But for low-cost buds that get the job done, these Nintendo-licensed in-ears are still worth a look.

(Image credit: Future)PowerA Wired Earbuds for Nintendo Switch 2 review: price and release dateUltra-budget list price of $24.99 / £19.99 / AU$39And I've already spotted them going for even lessLaunched in October 2025These wired earbuds launched shortly after the Nintendo Switch 2 itself, and have a list price of $24.99 / £19.99 / AU$39. However, I've already spotted them on sale for less in some territories, dipping as low as £11 in the UK. It should be noted that any 3.5mm, USB-C, or Bluetooth earbuds should work fine with your console – it's just the inclusion of a mute mic slider that makes these ideal for GameChat use. PowerA’s wired buds are available in a single Black and Red design – the same color scheme as the right Joy-Con 2 controller.PowerA Wired Earbuds for Nintendo Switch 2 review: specsDrivers8mm dynamicWeight0.7oz / 20gFrequency range20Hz-20kHzWaterproof ratingNot statedConnectivity3.5mmPowerA Wired Earbuds for Nintendo Switch 2 review: design and featuresSimple yet fairly effective designConvenient mic mute sliderSecure and relatively comfortable fitDesign-wise, these in-ears are basic. They’re black and red, which is on-brand for the Switch 2, and they have the console’s logo on the outside of each bud.They’re made of plastic and, in honesty, feel pretty cheap – but then again, they are. You get a variety of different-sized ear tips to help find your ideal fit, as well as a drawstring bag to store the buds away – that’s a very nice inclusion considering their moderate price.These earbuds are quite comfortable, although I did find they were a tad large in-ear. Still, I could keep them in for well over an hour without feeling fatigued, and they had a pretty secure fit – something that’s not always guaranteed with wired in-ears.Thanks to their secure seal, you also get decent enough noise isolation – just don't expect the silence-inducing effects of active noise cancellation or the passive isolation that pricier foam ear tips provide.The most significant feature on-board is the inbuilt mic and mute slider. This handy slider is what sets the buds apart from typical wired buds you may have laying around, and makes them ideal for GameChat use on Switch 2. The mic itself is functional but as you may expect at this price-point, nothing particularly special. More on that in the Performance section...

(Image credit: Future)PowerA Wired Earbuds for Nintendo Switch 2 review: performanceDecent audio with fairly clean dialogueMic performance could certainly be betterSolid overall quality given modest price-tagSonically speaking, I won’t pretend the PowerA Wired Earbuds are anything particularly special. But they get the basics right, with generally clear audio for private gaming sessions.To find out if PowerA’s in-ears could compete with some of the best gaming earbuds best Nintendo Switch 2 accessories, I made sure to test them out with a variety of games. I started with Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake, a title I’ve been absolutely glued to since its release.This game is pretty dialogue-heavy, so I was glad to discover that speech was generally well-defined in the mix, ensuring I didn't need to rely on subtitles. When the grandiose orchestral soundtrack swooped through the backdrop, voices still remained clear – sure, it wasn’t as if they were elegantly separated out and thrust to the fore, but that’s something I’d expect from more premium buds.I wanted to see how they’d cope with a more chaotic Nintendo Switch 2 title, so I switched over to Mario Kart World, and again, I was pretty satisfied with the audio on offer. In Free Roam mode, the hum of my vehicle’s engine was replicated with solid low-end power, and the high-pitched grind of my wheels while drifting didn’t sound tinny or uncontrolled.Treble could get edgy at top volumes – something I also realized when listening to Phendrana Drifts on the Nintendo Music app. But if you’re listening at medium loudness or lower, that shouldn’t be all too apparent. More generally, soundtracks come through nicely using PowerA’s buds – the jazzy tunes featured in Mario Kart World were always enjoyable, with expressive sax in the mid-range sounding clean and never getting smothered by the fairly impactful bass.Even if you’re not going to be wowed by a wide soundstage or incredible separation, PowerA’s wired buds perform well enough on the audio front. If you’re looking for a more premium listening experience or want exceptional wired earbuds for music, though, I’d suggest heading over to our best wired earbuds guide instead.But how about mic performance? Well, this is where things get a little shaky. I used the Test Microphone function on my Switch 2, which allows you to make a brief recording, and the results were about as good as I’d expected. My voice was relatively clear, and every word was discernible. However, there was some noticeable sibilance, and there was obvious static in the background.Don’t get me wrong: these won’t make you sound like you’re underwater as some cheap buds do, but mic quality is just acceptable. One benefit, though, is that there’s an in-line controller with a slider to disable or enable the mic, which is handy if you need to swiftly silence yourself while using GameChat.

Strava drops its lawsuit against Garmin – so it looks like all your features are here to stay (for now)

(Image credit: Shutterstock)

The Strava and Garmin legal drama just took another big twistStrava has dropped its lawsuit against Garmin, with the two companies seemingly settling behind the scenesWhere does that leave Suunto, which is also suing Garmin? It looks like the legal battle between Strava – one of our best fitness apps – and Garmin – makers, of course, of the best Garmin watches – is coming to an end.Three weeks after Strava filed a patent-infringement case against Garmin, stating the latter's segments and heatmaps features violate an agreement between the two companies, Strava has officially dropped its lawsuit against Garmin.Strava filed a brief update on October 21 to say it "voluntarily dismisses" the action. We spotted this via DC Rainmaker, having kept an eye on the Strava-Garmin situation as it developed.The full update reads as follows:“Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(i), Plaintiff Strava, Inc., by and through its undersigned counsel, voluntarily dismisses the above-captioned action, without prejudice."In practice, dismissing without prejudice means the decision is not final, so Strava could choose to file again in the future. However, for now, it means that any features Garmin users are making use of that could potentially infringe on Strava's patents are unlikely to disappear in the near future.If you're in the market for a new Garmin watch, Strava is no longer actively trying to halt the sale of future Garmin devices infringing on its patents, so expect plenty of Garmins to still be available in the upcoming Black Friday sales.So is it all over?

(Image credit: Future)Yes, and no. After filing the lawsuit, Strava's chief product officer Matt Salazar explained in a Reddit post that Garmin was trying to force it to beef up the Garmin branding on Strava whenever it used data from a Garmin watch, and said Strava wouldn't stand for this abuse of user data.Strava's Reddit community did not respond the way Strava expected, and the company eventually complied with Garmin's requests. Now it's also withdrawn its patent infringement lawsuit, leaving no further active spats with Garmin.However, the question of "why" remains to be answered. There's speculation online that because Strava is going public in the near future, it wanted to reduce branding from external sources and nix competing features to boost the value of its shares – but of course this is all hearsay, and we may never know for sure.What about Suunto?Garmin is also being sued by rival watch-maker Suunto, which filed around the same time as Strava, although for unrelated reasons. These supposed patent infringements center around hardware and software features, such as some golfing features.At the time of writing, that lawsuit remains unresolved. This dispute aside, Suunto is releasing some great hardware at the moment – you can check out our recent review of the Suunto Race 2, in which we gave it 4.5 stars – and could become a genuine challenger to Garmin as a maker of the best running watches.The best Garmin watches for all budgetsFollow TechRadar on Google News and add us as a preferred source to get our expert news, reviews, and opinion in your feeds.
