TLDR: The Learn Smart Lifetime Subscription Bundleteams up thousands of book summaries you can down in 12 minutes with Apple’s premium earbud technology.

Smart people are smart enough to know how much they still have to learn about…well, almost everything. In a world packed to the gills with information and insight, it feels like there’s never enough time to dive into all the pools of knowledge we’d all love to languish in for hours.

Fortunately, technology has massively streamlined our learning process. Now, all you need to replicate that stack of books gathering dust on your nightstand is a vast stockpile of ebooks, a mobile device, and a comfy set of earbuds to take all the goodness in.

You can knock out two of those birds with one handy stone with The Learn Smart Lifetime Subscription Bundle ft. 12min Micro Book Library and Apple AirPods Pro ($279, 56 percent off, from TNW Deals).

First, the knowledge — that comes in the form of a lifetime premium subscription to the 12min Micro Book Library. With membership, users get access to over 2,500 microbooks in two dozen different categories, each distilled down to key points and important takeaways you can digest in just 12 minutes. In the time it takes to walk to the break room, relax, and grab a cup of coffee, you can enjoy text or audio synopses of any book in 12min Micro’s extensive stockpile — and walk away feeling like you’ve downloaded the real essence of the work.

With a vast array of non-fiction bestsellers and perennial staples like Rich Dad Poor Dad, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, The 4-Hour Workweek and more, learners can explore economics, science, biographies, technology, and beyond, developing new skills and staying fully up to date on all there is to know. Micro books are also downloadable, so they can be consumed anywhere, even when you don’t have WiFi or a phone signal.

Of course, if you want to listen to 12min’s extensive library, you better have quality earwear like Apple AirPods Pro to do it. With active noise cancellation, adaptive EQ tuning, a custom speaker driver, high dynamic range amplifiers, and more, Apple’s pinnacle earbuds are the modern definition of super sound from an ultra-compact design.

In transparency mode, you can counter the noise cancellation and let outside sound in, all while streaming music, talking on your phone, or ripping through a fantastic audiobook. The AirPods Pro also serve up about 4.5 hours of listening time on a single charge, along with a portable charging case that can extend your listening all the way up to 24 hours.

Plus, The Learn Smart Lifetime Subscription Bundle ft. 12min Micro Book Library & Apple AirPods Pro cuts the price on this dynamic educational duo to more than half off their retail price. Regularly a nearly $650 value, you can score both right now for just $279.
