By Aaron Mamiit Published May 14, 2024

If you’re on the hunt for true wireless earbuds deals but Apple’s AirPods are way too expensive for you — even with the discounts from AirPods deals — Best Buy is selling two affordable options by JBL, which is one of the most trusted names in the audio industry. The JBL Vibe Buds, originally priced at $50, are down to an even cheaper $40 for savings of $10, while the JBL Tune Flex, with a sticker price of $100, are on sale for only $70 for savings of $30. If you decide to take advantage of either of these offers, you’re going to have to be quick with your purchase because there’s no telling when their prices will go back to normal.

For affordable wireless earbuds, you can’t go wrong with the JBL Vibe Buds. You’ll enjoy high-quality audio and deep bass while you’re listening to your favorite playlists or watching streaming shows, and you’ll always stay aware of your surroundings with Smart Ambient technology. The wireless earbuds can last up to eight hours on a single charge and up to a total of 32 hours if you include their charging case, and you’ll be able to maximize this long battery life because of their comfortable fit and IP54 resistance against water and dust. Charging for just 10 minutes will give you back two hours of usage for the JBL Vibe Buds, so they’ll rarely have to leave your ears.

The major upgrade with the JBL Tune Flex is active noise cancellation, which will allow you to focus on what you’re listening to by blocking external sound. The wireless earbuds are also equipped with four microphones for excellent voice clarity during calls, and VoiceAware technology will let you select how much of your own voice you will hear. JBL’s trademark pure bass sound is present in the JBL Tune Flex, which are also resistance against water and sweat with an IPX4 rating. Their battery life is at eight hours from a full charge and up to a total of 32 hours with their charging case, and their stick open design ensures comfort by minimizing the pressure on your ears.

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.
