When you work from home, you are often responsible for providing your home office with the things it needs to help you get the job done. Even though some companies offer a compensation plan for furnishing your office, you can’t count on that. You’ll want to find some deals.
I’ve scoured Amazon Cyber Week deals and found a few items that I think could ease the stress of working from home. Let’s get to the bargains.
JBL Tune 230NC TWS true wireless headphones
Headphones are a must for working from home. You will experience times when there is too much noise in the house and you cannot concentrate on the task at hand. When those times come, you’ll be glad you bought a pair of JBL Tune 230NC TWS True Wireless headphones.
These in-ear earbuds contain 10mm drivers to deliver JBL’s Pure Bass Sound. This is active noise canceling with Smart Ambient technology, so you hear more of what you want and less of what you don’t. With four microphones for phone calls, those on the other end of your calls will find the sound quality quite impressive. You get up to 40 hours of battery life on a single charge, and eight hours with noise canceling turned on. These earbuds are IPX4 water resistant and sweat resistant.
The regular price is $99.95, but the Cyber Week deal price is only $49.95.
ASUS VivoBook 15 F515 laptop
If your job has given you an underpowered laptop, or if you need to use your own laptop, consider getting a work-specific device so you don’t confuse your personal information with your work information.
While this ASUS VivoBook 15 F515 might be a bit on the low side for specs, this deal is pretty good. This laptop includes Windows 11 in S mode, an 11th generation Core i3-1115G4 CPU, 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage. The screen is a 15″ Full HD NanoEdge VIPS with an 83% screen-to-body ratio with anti-glare coating. You will also enjoy a fully backlit keyboard.
As long as you’re not crunching big numbers, this laptop should serve you well. Keep in mind that the laptop doesn’t have an Ethernet port, so you can only use it via WiFi. The price of the Cyber Week deal is only $331.95, instead of $449.99. That’s a bargain that’s hard to pass up.
ROMOSS 30000mAh Power Bank Sense 8+, 18W PD USB C Portable Charger
Winter is fast approaching and that means snow and ice. If you live in a location like mine, you know that it can easily lead to power outages. If you work from home, the possibility of losing power is a reality, and unless you have a backup generator, losing power means work.
To avoid such an outcome, you can also use a power bank to keep your phone and tablets charged. With such a power source you should be able to get by for at least a few hours.
The ROMOSS 30,000 mAh power bank has a capacity of 30,000 milliamp hours, so you can provide your devices with enough carefree power. This device can charge a phone 12 times and has three different charging ports: one micro-USB, one lightning and one USB-C. It takes about 11 hours to fully charge the device, but it does include a fast charging feature that can get you to 80% charge in just 35 minutes. The power bank can be charged with any cable that fits into the three ports. T
The regular price for the ROMOSS 30000 Power Bank is $39.99, but there is a 20% Cyber Week coupon that can be applied at checkout.

Sometimes a pair of earbuds just isn’t enough, especially when you have a lot of Zoom meetings where you need to hear and be heard with excellent clarity. If that sounds like your situation, you might want to consider the HyperX Cloud Alpha S gaming headset.
This headphone and microphone combo features custom-tuned HyperX 7.1 surround sound, sliders for bass adjustment, game and chat balance, an aluminum frame, an advanced audio control mixer, a detachable noise-cancelling microphone, and a braided cable designed to last for years.

This headset can be used both wired and wireless, with a wireless range of up to 20 meters. The sensitivity of the headphones is -20 dBV (1V/Pa at 1kHz) and the frequency response ranges from 15 Hz – 20 kHz.
Regular price for the HyperX Alpha S is $129.99, but the Cyber Week deal is just $69.99.
