Apple’s AirPods Pro are one of the most popular ways to listen to music on the go and they previously appeared on our list of the best wireless earbuds before the release of the AirPods Pro 2. But just because there’s a new and improved version on the market doesn’t mean you should count the original AirPods Pro out.

They’re sleek, boast impressive audio quality and have advanced features like active noise cancellation. At $249 these Apple earbuds were a bit pricey, but right now at Woot, you can pick up a Grade-A refurbished pair for just $140, one of the best prices you’ll find at the moment. This deal is only available until 9:59 pm PT (12:59 am ET) tonight, or until they sell out, so be sure to get your order in sooner rather than later.

According to Woot, Grade-A refurbs have been thoroughly inspected and given a diagnostics test to ensure they have minimal cosmetic damage and like-new functionality. They also come covered by Woot’s 90-day limited warranty so you can shop with confidence.

The AirPods Pro have active noise-canceling capabilities thanks to the built-in dual microphones. They also have a transparency mode that pauses noise cancellation when you need to be more aware of your surroundings. They’re equipped with an advanced H1 chip, which delivers low-latency audio and allows them to pair seamlessly with other Apple devices. On a single charge, they have a battery life of up to 24 hours with the

Pitching a 4-Day Work Week to Your Boss Is Easier Than You Think

On a typical Friday afternoon, one employee at Emtrain, a California-based human resources technology company, settles in for a nap.

Another enjoys horseback riding lessons, while others play piano, practice photography or visit family members or friends they haven’t seen in a while.

They can do this because Emtrain adopted a four-day work week pilot program in 2021, one of the many companies across the globe experimenting with a new way of working.

Even the boss likes it. “It’s been very, very touching to see the amount of time that people have had back in their lives,” said Emtrain President Odessa Jenkins. “We hear stories all the time where our employees are learning something new, engaging with family that they haven’t before, and it really is changing the way they live their lives.”

Successful pilots of the four-day work week, both in the US and abroad, have seen a multitude of benefits to both companies and employees, including improved employee well-being, increased productivity and a new way to retain and recruit talent in a competitive labor market.

We asked three business leaders and one Fortune 500 executive coach about why four-day work weeks are gaining popularity. Here’s what they say are the main benefits of this new way of working — and how to effectively sell your boss on the idea.

A four-day work week gives back to employees one of their most valuable resources: time.

McDonald’s Beloved Halloween Boo Buckets Will Be Back This Month

Want some nostalgia with your cheeseburger? After rumors that McDonald’s Halloween pails could come back, the fast-food chain officially announced their return on Thursday. The pails will be available at participating McDonald’s locations nationwide in the US starting Oct. 18.

On Thursday, the fast-food chain’s Twitter account posted a GIF of three buckets — pumpkin orange, slime green and ghostly white — with the words “Halloween Happy Meal” in a spooky font and a “10.18.”

“Guess who’s coming back,” McDonald’s wrote in the caption. McDonald’s didn’t immediately respond to a request for confirmation.

What are McDonald’s Halloween Boo Buckets?

Back in 1986, McDonald’s started offering its Happy Meal kids meal in cute little Halloween-themed buckets, which can double as a kid’s trick-or-treat pail — if they’re not out for maximum candy, that is. Happy Meals usually come in cardboard boxes shaped kind of like little houses, so the buckets were a spook-tacular treat.

What do the 2022 Halloween Boo Buckets look like?

McDonald’s is offering three different colors — the white ghost, orange pumpkin, and green witch, aka McBoo, McPunk’n and McGoblin. One notable difference from past years: The lids are unusual. Looks like there’s a raised decoration for each lid — a witch’s hat for McGoblin, a pumpkin top for McPunk’n, and what appears to be a white pumpkin top for McBoo. But it’s not clear from the photo if that decoration is part of a lid that covers the top, or just a separate piece of plastic, and
