Your TV speakers are sick and tired of dishing out lackluster audio and are demanding a vacation. There couldn’t be a better time for Klipsch to have marked down one of its best home theater soundbars, the Flexus Core 200. For a limited time, this Dolby Atmos emulator is available on Amazon for only $395. The full MSRP on this model is $500.

We tested the Klipsch Flexus Core 200 back in April 2024, and reviewer Simon Cohen said, “The Klipsch Flexus Core 200 packs awesome power and bass in a single speaker.”

Why you should buy the Klipsch Flexus Core 200 Soundbar

If you love watching movies and find it essential to preserve and enhance as many audio details as possible, a soundbar should be a bare minimum for your cinema space. Fortunately, the Flexus Core 200 is more than a traditional left-right stereo system. In fact, it’s a full-on 3.1.2 home theater configuration, which means side-firing and up-firing speakers work in unison to achieve a wide soundstage. This bodes particularly well for anyone looking to emulate a three-dimensional Dolby Atmos setup.

The two built-in woofers do an excellent job of bringing plenty of low-end to your favorite movies, shows, and music, though the Flexus Core 200 does feature an LFE output for hooking up a dedicated sub. While the soundbar lacks Wi-Fi features, the built-in Bluetooth input lets you stream music wirelessly from a phone or tablet.

For those who like customizable audio settings, you’ll want to download the Klipsch Connect app for access to the Core 200’s three-band EQ and presets.

Save $105 when you purchase the Klipsch Flexus Core 200 today, and be sure to take a look at our lists of the best soundbar deals, best Amazon deals, and best TV deals for even more sales on top AV tech!

I desperately want a new classic Walkman, but Sony probably can’t give me one

Tech minimalism is begging for a new Walkman. Though rebuilding it may be close to impossible

Sony Walkman WM2011

Every few months, another piece of tech that seems obsolete crawls out of a drawer and becomes cool again. The age of minimalism has revived the popularity of iPods among younger buyers. Dumbphones have become an escape hatch from endless notifications. Similarly, digital cameras are dangling from bags again. Physical media keeps attracting people who want something they can actually hold instead of another frustrating subscription.

All of this makes it the perfect time for Sony to bring back the classic Walkman, which was a phenomenon during the 80s and 90s. I would love one. Give me a compact cassette player, physical buttons, and wired headphones. Keep the apps, notifications, and algorithms that shape your taste of music. No more AI assistants or personalzied feeds, just you and your Walkman. There is only one problem though. Recreating the Walkman that people love and remember, would be far harder than putting an old design back into production.

Proton reveals how smart TVs track you and the escape situation is pretty grim

Modern smart TVs fingerprint your screen content at the chipset level.

Your smart TV may know far more about your viewing habits than you realize, even if you rarely use its smart features. In a new privacy explainer, Proton warns that many modern TVs quietly collect data about everything displayed on the screen and share it with manufacturers, advertisers, and analytics companies.

The worrying part is that escaping this tracking is becoming increasingly difficult because many privacy controls are buried deep in settings or enabled by default. Proton argues that buying a smart TV today often means accepting a level of surveillance that most people never knowingly signed up for.

LG is cracking down on smart TV apps that quietly turn your TV into a secret proxy

LG OLED Settings

If you own an LG smart TV, there's a chance one of your harmless-looking apps has been moonlighting as an internet relay for someone else's traffic. According to a report from KrebsOnSecurity, LG says it's finally stepping in to stop this menace. This week, the company confirmed it plans to suspend any webOS app that turns a TV into what's called a residential proxy node.

The move follows a report from security firm Spur, which found that more than 42 percent of apps on LG's webOS store include SDKs that quietly reroute internet traffic through your TV, indefinitely. Samsung isn't spared either, with over a quarter of Tizen apps carrying similar code.
