The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are unlike any other pair of wireless earbuds on the market, combining the brand’s signature audio quality with a lightweight, clip-on design that keeps you aware of your surroundings. Normally priced at $299, they’re now $199 — a solid 33% discount that makes them an attractive pick for those who want comfort and clarity in equal measure.

What You’re Getting

The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds use the company’s OpenAudio technology to deliver rich, full-bodied sound without sealing your ears shut. Instead of sitting inside your ear canal, they clip gently to the outer ear, offering a secure yet barely-there fit. This design makes them ideal for users who dislike traditional in-ear buds or need more situational awareness while walking, cycling, or working.

Battery life is impressive, with up to 48 hours of total playtime when combined with the charging case. The earbuds are also water-resistant, making them suitable for workouts or light rain. Bluetooth connectivity is fast and stable, and Bose’s tuning ensures balanced sound with deep bass and crisp highs, even in open-air listening.

Why It’s Worth It

At $199, the Bose Ultra Open Earbuds hit a sweet spot between innovation and practicality. Their open-ear design provides comfort that lasts all day, without the fatigue or isolation common with other earbuds. You get premium sound quality in a format that’s perfect for multitaskers, commuters, or anyone who wants great audio without losing awareness of their environment.

They also look and feel premium, with a sleek clip-on construction that stays secure even during movement. For Bose fans or anyone looking for something more versatile than traditional earbuds, this deal makes them an appealing investment.

The Bottom Line

The Bose Ultra Open Earbuds combine innovative open-ear comfort with the audio performance Bose is known for. Now 33% off at $199, they’re one of the best wireless earbud deals available for anyone who values both sound quality and everyday usability.

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.
