When it comes to the top TV deals, we see plenty of markdowns on Hisense and TCL sets, but what about the Big Three? For those unaware, we’re referring to Samsung, LG, and Sony. These three companies make some of the best-looking TVs, using advanced picture processing and upscaling tech to get the job done. While it can be challenging to come across a solid discount on these midrange and premium sets, sometimes you just have to know where to look. And, fortunately, we do!

As a matter of fact, right now, when you order the Sony 65-inch XR A80L OLED through Best Buy, you’ll save $700. At full price, this model sells for $2,200 (currently reduced to $1,500).

Why you should buy the Sony A80L OLED

For many years, Sony has been one of the best TV companies for movie lovers. Seeing as the Big S has years of studio filmmaking under its belt, A80L features like Sony’s Cognitive Processor XR and XR OLED Contrast Pro are constantly optimizing every frame to ensure you’re getting the most lifelike colors and contrast levels. While brightness isn’t a strong suit for any OLED set (we gave the A80L big praise in this OLED TV roundup!), the A80L actually does a decent job at delivering strong highlights, especially when watching HDR content.

Then there’s the unbound gaming performance that we all love Sony for. Since the company has been producing home consoles for over 30 years, it’s no surprise to us that the A80L is one of the best OLEDs to play video games on. This is thanks to features like HDMI 2.1 connectivity, which utilizes VRR and ALLM to deliver impeccable response times and top-shelf motion clarity. The TV also has an Auto Game Mode that kicks in whenever a PlayStation console is detected.

Other noteworthy features include the Google TV OS for streaming apps and smart home controls, ATSC 3.0 compatibility, and a one-year limited warranty from Sony.

There’s no telling how long this Best Buy sale is going to last, so now could be the one and only time the Sony OLED is this cheap. Save $700 when you purchase the Sony 65-inch A80L OLED at Best Buy, and be sure to check out some of the other OLED TV deals we’ve been finding! We also have a separate list of exclusive Sony TV deals, too!

Marshall launches Acton IV and Stanmore IV

Marshall has refreshed two of its most popular wireless speakers. The company has officially unveiled the Acton IV and Stanmore IV, bringing a series of meaningful upgrades that go beyond simply making them louder. While improved bass and cleaner sound are part of the package, Marshall is also making a welcome push toward repairability, allowing owners to replace several external components instead of replacing the entire speaker.

I was skeptical of clip-style open earbuds. After trying my first pair, I don’t want to go back
No pressure, no plugged-up feeling, no fatigue. After months of all-day wear, open-air audio earclips have earned a permanent spot in my routine.
Baseus Bowie MC2 earclip earbuds.

I am not what you would call an audiophile. I don't obsess over terms like LDAC and DSEE upscaling. For me, they're just another utilitarian gadget to get the job done. Somewhere along the way, however, I stopped judging earbuds purely on how they sound and started paying closer attention to how naturally they fit into an ordinary day.

So much of this category now chases bass, noise cancellation, and a spec sheet full of features that comfort has quietly become an afterthought. I recently got a chance to try the Baseus Bowie MC2, my first pair of earclip-style earbuds. It came as a revelation for me. I picked them up from Amazon at $40, so it wasn't a big hit on my wallet either. The leap of faith, I'd say, was well worth it.
