id="article-body" class="row" section="article-body"> The AfterShokz Air have finally dipped below $100, only the second time that's happened. Sarah Tew/CNET I like to listen to music or podcasts when I run or bike, but wearing traditional sport headphones poses a problem: The earbuds block outside noise, making it hard to hear cars, bikes and other potential hazards. So how can I enjoy my audio while still maintaining "situational awareness"? Answer: Bone-conduction headphones, which sit in front of your ears instead of over or in them and produce sound by way of your cheekbones. (True story.) AfterShokz pretty much owns this product category, and with good reason: The headphones work well and get a little better with every iteration. But they're pricey, and sales are rare. CNET Cheapskate Get all the latest deals delivered to your inbox. It's FREE! For a limited time, however, and while supplies last, nearly all the AfterShokz bone-conduction headphones are on sale, starting with the [ ] (which ties the all-time low price). You can also get the [ ], only the second time the price has been that low. Finally, the [ ], the lowest price on record for that model. [ AfterShokz Titanium] [ $60 at Amazon] [ ] [ AfterShokz Air] [ $96 at Amazon] [ ] [ AfterShokz Aeropex] [ $128 at Amazon] [ ] The Titanium, Air and Aeropex could be described as the good, better and best versions of the product. Over the years they've gotten a little slimmer, a little lighter and a little better-sounding. (Read David Carnoy's [/news/aftershokz-aeropex-new-bone-conduction-sports-headphone-is-best-sounding-yet/ AfterShokz Aeropex review] to learn more.) Needless to say, you shouldn't expect audio quality that's on par with traditional in-ear sport 'phones, but it's pretty good -- and good enough for activities like running and cycling, where studio-quality sound isn't a priority. I've been an AfterShokz user (and fan) for years, starting with the Titanium and working my way through the subsequent two models. I don't often write about them because, as noted, they're pricey and rarely go on sale. So I'm happy to share these deals today. Meanwhile, my wife and brother-in-law both started using AfterShokz for the first time just recently, and they both love them. His unsolicited comment to me just a few days ago: "[These are the] best thing that ever happened to me -- after marriage and kids, of course." Thinking about one of these as a Father's Day gift? Amazon appears to be back to one-day delivery, at least in my neck of the woods; your mileage may vary. So if you order today, they might just arrive tomorrow or Sunday. Put your money where your butt is with this $35 bidet Luxe Me, before the pandemic: Use a bidet? Yuck, no way. Me, having used a bidet daily the last two months: Use toilet paper? Yuck, no way. Yeah, I'm a convert. After about a week, what seemed weird and gross became normal and preferable. And while you can easily spend hundreds of dollars on a fancy bidet with heated everything, blow-dry fans and all that, you can also spend almost nothing: For a limited time, and while supplies last, Best Buy has the [ ]. That's $25 off the regular price and one of the better bidet deals I've seen. [ ] This is a simple, straightforward cold-water attachment, one designed to install under your existing seat.

Like I said: weird at first, but you get used to it and then come to prefer it. The cold jet is nowhere near as bad as you'd think; rather, it's kind of refreshing.

Dhoni ruled out: Kohli to lead in Asia Cup after skipper suffers side strain during India's second Test against New Zealand By [/home/search.html?s=&authornamef=Baidurjo+Bhose Baidurjo Bhose] Published: 23:40 BST, 20 February 2014 | Updated: 23:40 BST, 20 February 2014 [ ] [ ] [ ] </a> [/indiahome/indianews/article-2564195/Dhoni-ruled-Kohli-lead-Asia-Cup-skipper-suffers-strain-Indias-second-Test-against-New-Zealand.html#comments View comments] Mahendra Singh Dhoni was on Thursday ruled out of the upcoming Asia Cup due to a side-strain that he suffered during the second Test against New Zealand in Wellington. With Dhoni out for 10 days, the selectors decided that Virat Kohli will lead the side. Tamil Nadu's wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Kartik has been picked as Dhoni's replacement. Karthik has not played for India since the tour of Zimbabwe last year. Karthik was recently in the news after being bought by Delhi Daredevils for Rs12.5 crore in the Indian Premier League auction in Bangalore on February 12. Game on: Picture left shows Virat Kohli (right), who will stand in for M.S. Dhoni in the Asia Cup, and picture right shows Dinesh Karthik who has been brought in as the replacement "Dhoni has been ruled out of the forthcoming Asia Cup, to be played in Bangladesh, in February- March 2014. He sustained a Grade I left side-strain during the course of the second Test against New Zealand. He will be undergoing rehabilitation for ten days," BCCI secretary Sanjay Patel said in a statement. Kohli has been India's standout batsman in recent years, stamping his mark in almost every overseas tour with impressive knocks. India will join arch-rivals Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and debutants Afghanistan in the tournament. India will begin their campaign with a match against Sri Lanka on February 28, before locking horns with Pakistan on March 2. Dhoni's captaincy has been a subject of intense criticism following India's 1-0 defeat in the two-match Test series in New Zealand. While former India skipper Sourav Ganguly called Dhoni's captaincy obnoxious, Rahul Dravid termed it defensive. India have lost their last four series abroad starting with the 4-0 humiliation in England in 2011 and ending with the loss to New Zealand [https://footballncrickethub.blogspot.com/2020/06/dinesh-karthik-wife-sports.html https://footballncrickethub.blogspot.com/2020/06/dinesh-karthik-wife-sports.html] on Tuesday. Main man: Virat Kohli's coach Rajkumar Sharma has the faith that his man can impress for India as captain Coach says Virat is a natural leader By Baidurjo Bhose On a day when Mahendra Singh Dhoni was ruled out of this month's Asia Cup with a side strain and Virat Kohli named skipper, his coach Rajkumar Sharma said that his ward was a natural leader and ready for the job. While critics have often said that Kohli is too young to lead the national team, his coach believes age shouldn't be a criterion when it comes to picking a captain and that his ward has already proved himself whenever given an opportunity. "He is ready to take up the challenge of captaincy. I don't know where all these talks of age comes from as he has already proved himself, not only as skipper of the Royal Challengers Bangalore, but also as India skipper, whenever Dhoni has been injured or rested," Sharma told Mail Today on Thursday, the day BCCI announced Dhoni's pullout. "Challenges bring out the best in him as he is an aggressive person by nature and also one who loves responsibility. It is just that he is happy to wait for his time and I feel that is a good thing. Till the time Dhoni is leading the team, he can keep learning from him," he said. And Kohli's records bear testimony to the fact that he loves the challenge of leading the pack. In the eight matches in which he has led India, he has scored 332 runs at an average of 66.40, including two hundreds and one fifty. The team has won seven of those matches and lost only one. While critics have often said that Kohli would be an even better cricketer if he could remain calm rather than getting worked up - when provoked by opposition players - his coach begs to differ. Sharma feels that Kohli is in the Javed Miandad mould and being provoked on the field brings out the best in him. "I strongly feel that Kohli's forte is being aggressive and when the opposition tries to put him down or provoke him, he comes back at them stronger. He reminds me of Miandad. In fact, Kohli has himself often confessed that it eggs him on when the opposition players are breathing down his neck and he thrives in those tense circumstances," Sharma said.
