Once you’ve grabbed one of the best headphone deals, you need to team it up with a great way to listen to your favorite music. It might not be your first thought but we strongly suggest you treat yourself to a Sony Walkman. Seriously. As a dedicated music player, they offer a superior listening experience in many cases, all without you needing to grab your phone. Right now, you can enjoy either $50 or $100 off the Sony NW-A306 Walkman or the Sony NW-ZX707 at Crutchfield, and we’re here to tell you why you should do so. You could even pair the devices up with one of the best speakers for home listening.

Sony NW-A306 Walkman — $298, was $348

The Sony NW-A306 Walkman is lightweight, affordable and packed with features. It’s able to play MP3, FLAC, Apple Lossless, AAC, HE-AAC, APE, WMA, WAV, AIFF, DSD, and MQA audio files. It can play high-resolution digital music files while it also supports Sony’s 360 Reality Audio format. There’s Android-supported Wi-Fi if you want to stream music or directly download it, with Apple Music, Pandora, Spotify, and TIDAL all supported. There’s support for Sony’s Digital Sound Enhancement Engine Ultimate which restores high-frequency signals to compressed digital formats like MP3 for a more natural and expansive aural experience, while there’s also S-Master HX amplification for accurate and detailed playback. A 3.6-inch color touchscreen makes it easy to find what to listen to and there’s 32GB of internal flash memory with the option to upgrade via the microSD card slot.

Sony NW-ZX707 Walkman — $798, was $898

For a premium Walkman experience, check out the Sony NW-ZX707 Walkman. It shares a lot of the features of the cheaper model but goes much further. It can play MP3, FLAC, Apple Lossless, AAC, HE-AAC, APE, WMA, WAV, AIFF, DSD, and MQA audio files. It supports high-resolution digital music files, Sony’s 360 Reality Audio immersive audio format, and MQA audio files. There’s also DSEE Ultimate for restoring high-frequency signals while there’s S-Master HX amplification too. On top of that, you can adjust the 10-band equalizer and Vinyl Processor while the Dynamic Normalizer equalizes the volume between tracks for consistent output. A 5-inch color touchscreen display is clear to see while Android support means easy access to all your favorite music platforms. Its rigid aluminum chassis adds a suitable touch of class to it too.

Shokz bone conduction headphones finally have a price cut
A runner wearing the Shokz OpenRun Pro bone conduction headphones.

If you're looking to buy new wireless headphones but you're having trouble deciding between all the options, add the Shokz OpenRun Pro bone conduction headphones to your list. They're currently available with a rare discount from Amazon, which slashed their price by $55 to bring them down to $125 from $180. Bone conduction headphones provide various benefits that earbuds and over-the-ear headphones don't, so we highly recommend taking advantage of this 31% off bargain right now as it may end at any moment.

Why you should buy the Shokz OpenRun Pro bone conduction headphones
Unlike traditional wireless headphones with a headband that clamp over your head, the Shokz OpenRun Pro are bone conduction headphones that don't cover your ears when you wear them. For those who are wondering how do bone conduction headphones work, the secret lies in their transducers that sit next to your ears, sending vibrations through your cheekbones and delivering sound directly to your inner ear. You'll be able to listen to your music while still being aware of your surroundings, which makes them perfect for runners, cyclists, and commuters who need to hear any potential hazards around them. Bone conduction headphones also prevent damage from high volumes of sound because they don't send the audio through your eardrums.

There are TV deals that slash the prices of premium displays, but there are also some offers that make cheap screens even more affordable. If you want something cheap and small that can stack on your dorm room dresser, here's one to consider -- the 32-inch Insignia F20 Series HD TV, which is down to only $80 following a $50 discount on its original price of $130. TVs don't get cheaper than this outside of Goodwill, so if you're on a tight budget, this may be what you need, but you need to hurry with your purchase because stocks may already be running low.

Why you should buy the 32-inch Insignia F20 Series HD TV
You don't need one of the best TVs if you just want a basic display for cramped areas like dorm rooms and garages. For these situations, the 32-inch Insignia F20 Series HD TV is an excellent choice. Its relatively small screen means it won't take up too much space, but with HD resolution you'll still be getting decent quality for watching your favorite shows and playing video games. It also comes with lots of ports to connect your devices, including three HDMI ports, a USB port, a headphone jack, and more.
