If you’ve been waiting to invest in a premium TV, you may not want to hold out any longer after we tell you about this Sony deal: For a limited time, the Sony 55-inch Bravia 8 Series 4K OLED is marked down to $1,400. Retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, and Crutchfield stock this model, along with a few other sites and shops.

This is one of the best OLED TV deals of the week thus far, and we loved our hands-on experience with the Sony Bravia 8. Editor at large Caleb Denison praised the TV, saying, “The Bravia 8 is the Sony OLED TV most folks should buy.”

We also recommend looking at our coverage of the Amazon Big Spring Sale going on now through March 31.

Why you should buy the Sony Bravia 8 Series

If you’re looking for near-perfect contrast levels, inky blacks, and a wide color gamut, the Sony Bravia 8 is the TV for you. The WOLED panel does a fantastic job of pushing glare away, even in the brightest of rooms. Thanks to Sony’s Cognitive Processor XR, the Bravia 8 delivers exceptional brightness levels when watching SDR content, along with incredible HDR highlights (and support for every HDR format except HDR10+).

The Bravia 8 has a native 120Hz refresh rate, which bodes well for console and PC gamers. VRR and ALLM support allows this Sony OLED to automatically optimize picture settings for the best response time and low input lag. And when you’re ready to start streaming Netflix or Amazon Prime Video (plus hundreds of live free TV stations), the built-in Google TV OS is the smart hub on duty.

We’re not sure how long this TV is going to be on sale, but chances are it’ll be back to full price before we know it. So, today might be the best and last day to save $200 on the Sony 55-inch Bravia 8 Series 4K OLED.

Marshall launches Acton IV and Stanmore IV

Marshall has refreshed two of its most popular wireless speakers. The company has officially unveiled the Acton IV and Stanmore IV, bringing a series of meaningful upgrades that go beyond simply making them louder. While improved bass and cleaner sound are part of the package, Marshall is also making a welcome push toward repairability, allowing owners to replace several external components instead of replacing the entire speaker.

I was skeptical of clip-style open earbuds. After trying my first pair, I don’t want to go back
No pressure, no plugged-up feeling, no fatigue. After months of all-day wear, open-air audio earclips have earned a permanent spot in my routine.
Baseus Bowie MC2 earclip earbuds.

I am not what you would call an audiophile. I don't obsess over terms like LDAC and DSEE upscaling. For me, they're just another utilitarian gadget to get the job done. Somewhere along the way, however, I stopped judging earbuds purely on how they sound and started paying closer attention to how naturally they fit into an ordinary day.

So much of this category now chases bass, noise cancellation, and a spec sheet full of features that comfort has quietly become an afterthought. I recently got a chance to try the Baseus Bowie MC2, my first pair of earclip-style earbuds. It came as a revelation for me. I picked them up from Amazon at $40, so it wasn't a big hit on my wallet either. The leap of faith, I'd say, was well worth it.
