Make your favorite pair of headphones wireless with Griffin’s iTrip Clip

With the future of the headphone jack looking increasingly grim, many of us are looking at our wired headphones and wondering how much life they have got left in them. Fortunately, there is a solution other than plunking down the cash for a new pair of wireless headphones: an adapter like Griffin’s new iTrip Clip Bluetooth audio adapter.

The iTrip Clip is a relatively small piece of hardware with a straightforward purpose: Plug in your headphones, and it acts as a combination Bluetooth adapter and amplifier. There are two ports — a 3.5mm headphone jack and a Micro USB port for charging — and the usual assortment of buttons that you’d expect to find on wireless headphones. If your car has an aux-in jack but not Bluetooth, you can even use the iTrip Clip to add hands-free capabilities.

“iTrip Clip ensures users can continue using their favorite 3.5mm headphones, with no worries about if their new smartphone eliminated the headphone jack,” Griffin category manager of power Andrew Biddle said in a statement. “Not only can our iTrip Clip make any pair of headphones wireless, it also puts the convenience of a Bluetooth sound system into any car.”

In addition to the controls, the iTrip Clip also features a built-in microphone for calls. The device works with iOS and Android, allowing the user to wirelessly interact with Siri, Google Now, and other voice recognition apps like Microsoft’s Cortana.

Range is stated as the standard Bluetooth range of 30 feet. As for battery life, Griffin claims up to six hours of playback or talk time on a single charge, and up to 180 hours on standby.

If you’re not sure about switching to a new wireless pair of headphones or sticking with your wired pair, the iTrip Clip is a fairly cheap experiment, retailing for $20. It will be on sale beginning in September via the Griffin website.

One of the best TVs ever made is below $2,000, and comes with expert delivery
Panasonic Z95A

When you look through our current list of the best TVs, there are exactly two TVs that should stand out to you, even if you're a casual skimmer. The first is the Sony A95L QD-OLED, simply because it is at the top of the list. The second is the Panasonic Z95A, not because it's the runner-up (which it is) but because it's... Panasonic. It's just not a brand we see making winning TVs, but wow, what a winner the Z95A is. We immediately called it one of the best TVs ever made, something that will be apparent to your eyes if you get it. Now, what's exciting about this TV right now is that it has a low price. You can get the 65-inch version of the TV for $1,998 right now, a savings of over $1,200 off its usual $3,200 price point. You can even get a deluxe delivery and unpack for free if you select the right option on the sales page (accessible by tapping the button below). But, this deal has been around for some time now, since around the start of summer. With Prime Day here and ending soon, it's very likely the time for this deal to end as well. If you want one of the best TVs ever for under $2,000, be sure to tap the button below now.

An amazing TV under $1,000 has a sub $500 Prime Day price (and it’s ending soon)
TCL QM6K

We're now in the final moments of Amazon's summer Prime Day 2025 event, and finding critical last-minute deals. Here's one that almost fundamentally changes how you'll likely think about a product. See, we have a whole list of the best TVs under $1,000, a price point that a ton of people that love TVs just don't feel comfortable crossing. Then, we have a separate list for budget TVs, the best TVs under $500. Even though prices (which move up and down!) are quantitative data points, the differences between a sub $1,000 and a sub $500 TV feel almost categorical in nature, like the difference between water and steam. This deal take the $600 55-inch TCL QM6K (one of the TVs in our 'under $1,000' list) and pushes its price down by $152. This puts it at a price of $448, which is an all time low for it on Amazon, transforms it into an 'under $500' TV. Tap the button below to get the transformative deal while Prime Day is still here or continue reading to see why we liked it so much even when it was over $500.
