Wouldn’t holiday shopping be a lot more fun if you didn’t have to, you know, pay for stuff? We thought so too. That’s why we’re giving away some of our favorite gadgets – from drones to smartphones – for the eight days leading up to Christmas. Enter to win as many giveaways as you want, and don’t forget to keep checking back as new contests open up every day!

Thonet & Vander’s Kurbis BT may go down as the most surprising product we reviewed in 2015. These speakers have no business sounding so good for their price. In fact, if you don’t win this giveaway, you should probably buy a set anyway.

Put aside for a moment that the brand may be unfamiliar and the name more like something out of an Ikea catalog. These German-engineered speakers produce impressive sound full of room-filling bass, clear midrange, and articulate treble. Unlike small, portable Bluetooth speakers, the Kurbis BT are suitable for desktop applications, movie watching, and discerning music listeners.

Report: Sonos Ace headphones will get wired and wireless lossless audio
A possible leaked image of the unreleased Sonos headphones.

Sonos can't catch a break. It seems that almost every time the brand has geared up for a new product launch, someone has beaten it to the punch, leaking most of the key information beforehand. This time, the victim appears to be Sonos' much-anticipated wireless headphones. And the culprit? A German Sonos parts dealer called Schuurman.

For a brief period -- the page has since been taken down -- Schuurman's site listed the "Sonos Ace" along with a few photos and, perhaps most intriguingly, a price: 403.58 euros (approximately $534). The slipup was originally reported by The Verge's Chris Welch, who has since released a follow-up article that claims to confirm many more details about the as-yet-unreleased Sonos product. Welch did not indicate his source for the information, but his previous Sonos reports have proven to be highly accurate.

It's going to become easier — if not downright unavoidable — to get all the Disney-owned streaming services in a single app. Following the addition of a Hulu tile inside the Disney+ app, ESPN will find itself available there by the end of 2024, CEO Bob Iger said during the company's fiscal second-quarter earnings call.

If nothing stands out among the headphone deals that you've come across, you may want to try bone conduction headphones. If you're interested, you're in luck because the Shokz OpenRun Pro, originally priced at $180, are on sale from Best Buy for a more affordable $140. That's amazing value for these bone conduction headphones, but you need to hurry with your purchase if you want to take advantage of the $40 discount. The offer is available for now, but we're not sure how much time is remaining before it gets taken down.

Why you should buy the Shokz OpenRun Pro bone conduction headphones
Unlike traditional headphones that cover your ears and blast sound waves through your eardrums, bone conduction headphones like the Shokz OpenRun Pro use transducers that sit next to your ears to send vibrations through your cheekbones and deliver sound directly to your inner ear, according to our guide on how do bone conduction headphones work. The benefits of this technology include leaving your ears open so you can still hear what's going on around you such as when you're commuting or working in the office, and improved stability as the Shokz OpenRun Pro features a wraparound titanium frame that stays in place compared to the bands of traditional headphones.
