The kid-focused on-ear headphones feature an 85-decibel volume limit and easy controls, and a mode that lets them beam audio (wired or wirelessly) to a second pair without extra hardware. Readers can use the code <strong>VERGE25OFF </strong>to save 25 percent on up to two pairs of SoundForm Mini 2 headphones.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">The $29.99 model without the zip-up carrying case gets knocked down to $22.49. Alternatively, a more limited selection of colors are currently available that include a case, which is $29.99 instead of $39.99 once the offer code is applied in the cart.</p> <div class="product-block"><h3>Belkin SoundForm Mini 2 headphones</h3> <figure class="product-image"><img width="300" height="200" src="https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/09/soundformPC.jpg?w=300" class="attachment-medium size-medium" alt="" /></figure> <h3>Where to Buy:</h3><ul><li><a href="https://www.belkin.com/p/wireless-on-ear-headphones-for-kids/AUD012fqPU.html"> <strike>$29.99</strike> $22.49 at <strong>Belkin (without carrying case)</strong></a></li><li><a href="https://www.belkin.com/p/wireless-on-ear-headphones-for-kids/AUD011fqPUCS.html"> <strike>$39.99</strike> $29.99 at <strong>Belkin (with carrying case)</strong></a></li></ul></div> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">While these don’t deliver noise cancellation, they should be good enough for most situations. They can last up to 55 hours on a single change, and they can fold up neatly to fit into a variety of bags. The SoundForm Mini 2 are made for ages 3 and up, and feature an adjustable headband and cushioned earcups. They’re pretty no-frills, though the audio-sharing mode I described above is a great way around having to buy some sort of audio splitter or wireless transmitter to ensure multiple kids are entertained.</p> <div id="hype-desk-root"></div> window.HYPE_DESK_CONFIG = { productImageUrl: "https://platform.theverge.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/05/alienware-15-laptop.jpg?crop=0%2C0%2C100%2C100&amp;quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2400", productImageAlt: "Alienware 15 Gaming Laptop", productTitle: "Alienware 15 Gaming Laptop", shortDescription: "Real gaming performance, finally at a real starting price.", longDescription: "Alienware's cheapest gaming laptop ever finally breaks $1,000.

While not a new discount, it’s nice to have a lower-cost alternative available. In our <a href="https://www.theverge.com/24169086/sonos-ace-headphones-review">2024 review</a>, we bemoaned the iffy state of the Sonos app, and criticized the Ace for not working with the Beam and Ray soundbars for TV Audio Swap. The company recently debuted its plans for overhauling the app, and TV Audio Swap support for those soundbars has been added following their debut.</li> <li><em><strong>Kirby Air Riders</strong></em> for the Nintendo Switch 2 is close to $20 off for the physical version at <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0FN13VMCC/">Amazon</a>, which is its lowest price yet. You can snag it for $51.99, while the digital version is still selling for $69.99. While not an essential Switch 2 title for those building out their libraries with a limited budget, it delivers <em>F-Zero</em>-esque frenzy that <em>Mario Kart World</em> can’t match. It’s the follow-up to <em>Kirby Air Ride</em> on the GameCube, giving players more flexibility in who they race as, what aircraft they use, plus a host of game modes to give you more to do than just racing. <a href="https://www.theverge.com/games/826488/kirby-air-riders-nintendo-switch-2-vehicle-customization">Read our review</a>.</li> <li>If you’re in the mood to shop, but you’re not quite sure what you want, it might be worth taking a spin through the <strong>Amazon Resale catalog</strong> of returned products. Many products are marked down by up to 30 percent once you add them to your cart. Just look for the green “Save at checkout” on product listings where Amazon Resale is the seller. The percentage of savings differs per product. I didn’t find any earthshaking deals on consoles or other big-ticket items, but you can save a good amount on things like <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Controller-Joysticks-Switchable-Gaming-Console/dp/B0F194QFT2/ref=sr_1_3?crid=12ENAS5J16ZZ3&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.UtNdqgdOeEr-J8YS0fdi2XfiJ95_ydJIOjSidaTjiXabHphjzpjZKjF99P-W6mi7kXLWX_9av3GWYqo8xeDtOGtn-DzPx5wPxnLMgmoOZ32QNQkMEDAxCQqXAjBPcwfrSehOZjwEv2-SSVSoS2TGJvPR7zbqmLrxnNxrYkHYVGFXu4IOlIGvCz6BB7flQyKbW4--z5xuR8YfVjVWld9eGFO-NkWsoMIJZPZ75Wlf2b17FI1YxRL3wFNXoRlIap1WhinhKaYiS-5ZY8skw27SubhfbUIRoyAHR6O8RvSqpbo.B_ylV4t9eYNLwOdeeaZoCYPh9SwC1nRhmX02GwXBLl0&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=switch%2B2%2Bpro&amp;m=A2L77EE7U53NWQ&amp;qid=1788359575&amp;s=warehouse-deals&amp;sprefix=switch%2B2%2Bpro%2Cwarehouse-deals%2C151&amp;sr=8-3&amp;srs=10158976011&amp;th=1">controllers</a> and <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Sony-WH-1000XM5-Headphones-Hands-Free-WH1000XM5/dp/B0BXYCS74H/ref=sr_1_4?crid=E0UGV1U28YJ9&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.qVxlo7KLkEMi1EAugUcRbIxkTn9ASXt22q3e3DbZT1h5en0fPR_6eaHyM8d2LGCUm5Pgk74v-I3VOg7f9PLRi1-EAHy7uj6oLiMblyXzf1SbFZVZTMsJIO1zkpM80O6_2GbipuYOmGrKS8dRps8HQ4BMMe17DD09LlKseTMgFN-DxecdyQlzywHM2Vsx2kvt4pEZvtLVkK2WBouRDXOtRQ.976Da7bV18_qjC93n4Qs8b951d3EhStPzLQC54UDjqg&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=fractal%2Bscape&amp;m=A2L77EE7U53NWQ&amp;qid=1788359630&amp;s=warehouse-deals&amp;sprefix=fractal%2Bscap%2Cwarehouse-deals%2C198&amp;sr=8-4&amp;srs=10158976011&amp;th=1">headphones</a>.</li> </ul>
