Best Buy has kicked off a one-day flash sale on the Roku Streaming Stick 4K Headphone Edition, dropping the price of the dongle down to only $50 from the usual $60. You’ll need to act fast, though: Roku deals are always a hit, and this one expires just before midnight (if the retailer doesn’t run out of stock sooner).

Plug the Roku Streaming Stick+ into an HDMI port on your TV to access the full range of free and subscription streaming media at your TV’s highest capability. Enjoy Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV+, Disney+, Hulu, Showtime, HBO, Pandora, and much more in addition to The Roku Channel with its tons of free content. Streaming media sticks that don’t support 4K won’t get the most from your 4K TV, but the Roku Streaming Stick+ 4K is right for HD, 4K, and HDR content and automatically adjusts your set to its highest capabilities to match incoming streaming video content. If you haven’t upgraded to a 4K TV yet, this model is still the right choice because it optimizes your TV video resolution and is ready when you do upgrade to a 4K TV. The features on the remote alone are more than worth jumping on this deal.

The remote with the Roku Streaming Stick+ 4K Headphone Edition won’t serve you a cup of coffee, but it handles pretty much everything else you need and want to enjoy streaming media. The remote connects to your home Wi-Fi network for speedy performance. You can use the remote to access and select your choice of content from Roku’s intuitive menu system by scrolling and clicking the remote or with voice search. Ask for the content you want by title, actor, director, or category to save time. You can control your TV power and volume with this Roku remote, and you can plug your favorite wired headphones directly into it.

When you unbox the Roku Streaming Stick+ 4K Headphone Edition, you’ll find the streaming media stick with an AC adapter and power cable with long-range wireless access. There’s an HDMI extender cable for hard to fit HDMI ports. The remote comes with two AA batteries and a wired earphone set that plugs into the remote’s 3.5 mm standard audio jack.

Quick! Best Buy cut the price of the 5th Gen iPad by $220 today only

A person using the 5th Gen iPad Air.

If you’ve been looking around for solid iPad deals, look no more! Best Buy offers some of the best markdowns on Apple’s mobile tech, and right now you can purchase the 10.9-inch iPad Air (5th Gen) with Apple’s M1 chip for $530. That’s a $220 discount compared to the tablet’s normal pricing.

Why you should buy the 10.9-inch iPad Air
The iPad is far more than a run-of-the-mill tablet. In fact, one could argue that this mobile Apple tech is an all-hands-on-deck portable workstation. While the M1 was the company’s first stab at in-house processors, it produces some impressive results. You can expect blistering-fast performance from browsing to apps; all of which will be experienced on the 10.9-inch Liquid Retina display with sRGB colors and True Tone capabilities.

Amazon cut the price of this 75-inch 4K TV to just $470

Toshiba - 75-inch Class C350 Series LED 4K UHD Smart Fire TV

If you're upgrading your living room with a new TV, then you probably want to go with something that's a little bit on the bigger side. Not only do they give you a ton more screen space, they're great if you don't have couches and seats close to the TV. So, if you're thinking of picking something up, then this massive 75-inch TV from Toshiba is a great option, especially since Amazon has knocked its price down to $470 from $650, saving you a substantial $180 in the process and snagging one of the best TVs on the market for an excellent price.

Why you should buy the TOSHIBA 75-inch Class C350 Series
This Toshiba C350 has a surprising number of features under the hood, given the price tag, such as the support for HDR and HDR10, so that you get much better contrast and color reproduction than you would without. It also comes with the Regza Engine 4K, which helps with things like making images crisper and increasing image fidelity; plus, it has its own optimization engine that alters the image to make it seem more true-to-life, which is neat. The C350 Series also has great audio due to the inclusion of Dolby Atmos, so if you don't have a standalone soundbar or sound system, then the included speakers on the TV are pretty good.
