This story is part of Digital Trends' Cyber Monday coverage 2025

If you still haven’t upgraded to smart TVs in your home, now’s your chance to buy them for cheap through Cyber Monday TV deals. While some offers involve high-end 4K TVs, for some shoppers, the best Cyber Monday deals are those that focus on affordable products, such as these Insignia smart TVs at Best Buy that are all going for less than $200. Because of their low prices, it’s unclear how long these deals will last, so it’s highly recommended that you finalize your purchases as soon as you can so that you don’t miss out on the discounts.

The most affordable version of the Insignia F20 Series smart TV features a 24-inch display with HD resolution for vibrant picture quality while you’re watching your favorite shows and movies. The TV runs on Amazon’s Fire TV platform, which enables easy access not only to Amazon Prime Video but also to other streaming services such as Netflix, Disney+, and Hulu. The platform also seamlessly integrates your preferred streaming content with live over-the-air channels to make it easier to choose what you’ll be watching as you’ll have all your options in one place. The smart TV also comes with a voice remote that works with Amazon’s Alexa to understand voice commands for a variety of functions, such as opening apps, searching for shows and movies, launching your music playlists, switching input sources, and controlling your other smart-home devices, among many other useful Alexa skills.

If a 24-inch screen is too small for you, then you should consider going for the 32-inch version of the Insignia F20 Series smart TV. On top of the bigger display, it retains all of its smaller counterpart’s smart TV functions, which are as important here as they are in Digital Trends’ 4K TV buying guide. Owning a smart TV, which connects directly to the internet through Wi-Fi or an Ethernet cable, is becoming increasingly important these days because of all the content you can consume from the best on-demand streaming services, with most shows and movies that generate a lot of buzz exclusive to their respective platforms. With the 32-inch Insignia F20 Series smart TV, you can easily discover and access such content, in addition to launching a variety of other apps for news, utilities, and gaming.

The largest of this trio of affordable smart TVs, the 39-inch version of the Insignia F20 Series smart TV moves closer to the top picks in Digital Trends’ best TVs. It also runs on Amazon’s Fire TV platform with support for Alexa through the voice remote — all you need to do to call the digital assistant is to say “Alexa,” then follow that with your voice command. Of course, streaming services accessed through Fire TV aren’t your only sources of content, as the TV’s three HDMI ports will let you connect Blu-ray players, cable boxes, and gaming consoles at the same time so you can freely switch between them. With a 39-inch screen, this TV is just the right size for a small living room or your bedrooms, and with this deal from Best Buy, you’ll likely be able to afford multiples so that the whole family can enjoy watching a smart TV from wherever they are in the house.

Google shuts down massive botnet running on 1.3 million Android TV boxes

Malware infecting Android devices isn't new, but Google's recent report is grim and concerning. The search giant has taken down a massive botnet that turned over 1.3 million Android TV set-top boxes into tools for cybercriminals. Unlike the usual attacks, where users end up downloading some shady apps from the internet, the malware here was planted inside the devices by the manufacturer itself.

According to the Google Threat Intelligence Group, the company behind it is China-based Videostrong Technology. Google has now cut ties with the manufacturer and banned it from building or supplying software for certified Android devices.

Audio-Technica’s new wireless StreamSet headset promises studio sound without the cables
Finally, a wireless headset that takes your voice seriously.
Audio technica new headset.

I've lost count of wireless headsets that sound great until the microphone switches on. That is exactly why a cord-free streaming headset from a studio-audio brand earns my attention (with a pinch of skepticism). Audio-Technica wants to change my mind, and I am all up for it.

The company has announced the "ATH-M50xSTS-WL," its first wireless headset in the StreamSet line. What's unique, however, is how the brand has combined the studio sound of its ATH-M50x monitor headphones with microphone tech from its 20 Series studio mics (via Audio-Technica).

Samsung’s new clip-on earbuds are coming to the US, and they’re not cheap
You can listen to music without blocking out the world around you, but Samsung is charging a premium for the convenience.
Samsung Galaxy Buds On earbuds

Earlier this month, Samsung unveiled its first clip-on earbuds called the Galaxy Buds On. Initially, it announced pricing and availability details only for Korea, but now the brand has revealed them for the US market as well. As per Samsung, the Galaxy Buds On will cost $229 and will be available to buy in early November. Only one color option, Black, will be available initially.

That is quite a steep price, considering the flagship Galaxy Buds 4 Pro go for $250. The Buds On also has no active noise cancellation, weaker bass response, and lower dust and water resistance. All that said, the use case is fundamentally different. While you might choose the Buds 4 Pro as the best daily drivers for your Galaxy smartphone, the Buds On keep your ear canals open, letting you listen to music while staying aware of traffic, conversations, and everything else happening around you. I can see the appeal for people who find traditional earbuds uncomfortable, or those who regularly listen to music while running or commuting.
