If you grabbed Apple's AirPods Pro 3 on Black Friday, I'm sending my condolences. The same earbuds are now $20 cheaper — great news for those who still have them on their list.

As of Dec. 11, the AirPods Pro 3 are now on sale for just $199 at Amazon. That's 20% or $50 off the list price of $249 and a new best price ever for the premium Apple earbuds. Walmart kicked off the record-low pricing in the early hours of the day, but it didn't take long for Amazon to give 'em the old price match. At the time of writing, Best Buy and Target have yet to join in on the fun (both retailers currently have them on sale for $219.99).

"The AirPods Pro pop up on most best of lists, and though we've always been fans, the third generation takes these earbuds to a new level," writes Mashable's reviewer. The new Apple AirPods Pro 3 feature better noise cancellation (twice as good as the Pro 2s), better battery life (eight hours with ANC, 10 hours in transparency mode), and new foam-infused tips that come in five sizes to find the right fit. They also brought the heart rate monitoring tech from the Powerbeats Pro 2 (our favorite earbuds for working out) and Fitness app compatibility to the Pro 3s, and introduced a live translation feature.

If you already have the AirPods Pro 2, we don't think it's necessarily worth an upgrade, but if you're debating between the Pro 2 and Pro 3, this price drop really seals the deal. Go with the AirPods Pro 3.

Disney is investing $1 billion in OpenAI, the entertainment giant announced on Thursday. As part of the deal, OpenAI users will be able to create AI images and videos featuring some of Disney's copyrighted characters.

OpenAI recently launched Sora, an AI video generation app powered by the Sora 2 video model, which allows users to create short videos by typing in a text prompt. When the app first launched, it freely used copyrighted characters from companies like Disney, before OpenAI ultimately cracked down. Now, users will be able to create content on Sora using characters from Disney, Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars universes.

The deal also extends to ChatGPT, where users will be able to create images with these characters just by entering a text prompt.

“The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence marks an important moment for our industry, and through this collaboration with OpenAI, we will thoughtfully and responsibly extend the reach of our storytelling through generative AI, while respecting and protecting creators and their works,” Disney CEO Bob Iger said in a statement.

"Bringing together Disney’s iconic stories and characters with OpenAI’s groundbreaking technology puts imagination and creativity directly into the hands of Disney fans in ways we’ve never seen before," he said.

Disney also said that it will now become a "major customer" of OpenAI, and that it will be using its API to "build new products, tools, and experiences," as well as deploy ChatGPT for its employees.

While Disney has cozied up with OpenAI, the company has taken a very different approach with other AI companies. In June 2025, Disney and Universal filed a lawsuit against AI company Midjourney, calling the AI image generator a "bottomless pit of plagiarism."

Sora ruffled some feathers when it launched this September, too, with the Motion Picture Association urging OpenAI to take action against copyright infringement on the platform.

Disclosure: Ziff Davis, Mashable’s parent company, in April filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.

While this model doesn't feature active noise cancellation, you'll still be set with excellent sound thanks to personalized spatial audio with improved sound and call quality over the AirPods 3 model. They're hardy, easy to clean, and reliable, so you don't have to worry about dropping and ruining them or getting them too dirty to function with regular use.

They offer voice isolation, interaction with Siri, and an updated fit from the previous model that make them more than adequate and comfortable for long listening periods, whether you're on long meeting calls or catching up with friends.

They have a lengthy battery life thanks to their included charging case as well, so you can rest assured they'll be ready to go when you are. And with easy connectivity to your iOS device, they're super simple to set up.

Grab these AirPods 4 fast while they're still available at this price, because this deal likely won't be up for long.

Tessa Thompson and Jon Bernthal have dazzled audiences in big-budget MCU titles like Thor: Ragnarok and Punisher, as well as earned critical acclaim for their turns in projects like Hedda and The Bear. Now, the pair unite for a Netflix limited crime series His & Hers.

SEE ALSO: The best Netflix TV shows of 2025

Based on the novel by Alice Feeney, the series stars Thompson as reclusive news anchor Anna Andrews and Bernthal as small-town detective Jack Harper. When a brutal murder rocks their small hometown of Dahlonega, Georgia, the pair find themselves drawn to the case from different sides. Oh, and one more thing: They're married.

Anna and Jack's marriage is a complicated one. The pair are estranged, and tension simmers between them in every scene they share in His & Hers' first trailer. Anna is coming at the case from a journalistic angle, hoping to catch the killer and spin a compelling news story. Her investigations cause trouble for Jack, and the couple soon begins to suspect one another of being involved in this heinous crime. They both claim not to be involved in the trailer, but that's just what a killer would say, right?

So whose side of the story will prove to be right in His & Hers? Check out the full trailer above to choose your allegiance.

His & Hers also stars Pablo Schreiber, Crystal Fox, Sunita Mani, Rebecca Rittenhouse, Marin Ireland, and Poppy Liu.

His & Hers premieres Jan. 8 on Netflix.

We haven't been tracking deals on trading cards for that long. Robot vacuums, AirPods, speakers, and headphones. That's Mashable's territory. We've left Pokémon and Magic: The Gathering to our friends at our sister site IGN. But we can no longer what is going on in the trading card market. Interest has spiked to never-before-seen levels, so we feel the need to do our bit and track down the best deals.

As of Dec. 11, the Magic: The Gathering Marvel’s Spider-Man Play Booster Box is on sale for $113.95 on Amazon. That's over $90 off and the lowest-ever price for this popular set. Amazon's prices are usually inflated for this sort of thing, but it's near market value compared to listings on TCGplayer.

SAVE $143: As of Dec. 11, the LG 34-inch UltraGear WQHD curved gaming monitor is on sale for $356.99. That's 29% or $143 off its list price — the lowest price on record at Amazon.

Even if you missed the impressive discounts on gaming monitors on Black Friday, you can still score a great deal before the holidays.

As of Dec. 11, the LG 34-inch UltraGear WQHD curved gaming monitor is down to just $356.99 — nearly 30% off its list price of $499.99. That's its lowest price on record at Amazon and $3 cheaper than it was on Black Friday.

The ultra-wide curved display of the LG UltraGear WQHD takes you from just playing games to being submerged in them. The 34-inch display features a steep 1500R curvature and a 21:9 aspect ratio, so the screen will essentially wrap the action around you as you play. If you've never had a curved monitor before, it does take a bit of getting used to. But everyone from gamers to artists to multitaskers can benefit from the beauty of a wrap-around monitor. They do take up a bit more desk real estate than a typical monitor, so be sure you have to space available before you snag one.

As far as gaming specs go, it offers a 240Hz refresh rate, 1ms response time (which could certainly be speedier), and AMD FreeSync Premium compatibility. It also features Dynamic Action Sync, an FPS counter, a black stabilizer, and plenty of ports for your peripherals. It's not the most premium gaming monitor on the market, but it'll suit most casual gamers just fine. It also does pretty well as a regular monitor for work and everyday scrolling and streaming. A premium OLED monitor can cost you over $1,000, so the LG 34-inch UltraGear WQHD is quite the steal at $356.99.

But if you want some of the best of the best, you won't want to pass up this Amazon find, as we've tracked down a rare deal on one of our favorites: Mashable Choice award-winning headphones that represent some of the best of what Sony has to offer.

SEE ALSO: Bose QuietComfort headphones are now 50% off in a better-than-Black Friday deal

These noise-cancelling headphones are one of our favorite pairs, with immersive listening developed by mastering audio engineers. They come with a special driver housed in a carbon fiber dome to deliver fantastic sound. Their HD noise cancelling processor is also 7x as fast as the QN1 model from Sony as well, with 12 microphonoes that work in real time to give you better noise cancellation, sound quality, and clearer calls.

Mashable Tech Editor Timothy Beck Werth praised these headphones for having "close" to the best sound he's ever heard, and that their "elite noise cancellation, comfortable fit, and travel-friendly design" do justify their usually high price tag.

"They're not an instant upgrade if you already own the XM5 headphones," he wrote. "But if you have an older pair, want LDAC support, or just like the Sony product ecosystem, they're a worthy purchase, no doubt." Grab them while they're still on sale to get them for the lowest price we've found to date.

Freshly launched in October, the Apple AirPods Pro 3 come with improved battery life and heart rate monitoring, and they might just be the most impressive AirPods for working out. All that with a record-low sale price on a brand new model has us feeling shocked, in a good way.

Mashable's review of the Apple AirPods Pro 3 from Adam Doud notes they are "a remarkable upgrade in functionality over their predecessors, with better battery life and ANC, as well as a new heart rate sensor. If you need a new set of AirPods, this is an easy buy."

In a full analysis of the AirPods Pro 3 versus the AirPods Pro 2, Mashable Lead Shopping Reporter Bethany Allard noted the new AirPods Pro 3 have twice the ANC of the AirPods Pro 2, have better battery life, more ear tips so you can find the perfect fit, and a live translation function.

Thanks to today's sale price at Walmart, you can snag a $50 discount on the new Apple AirPods Pro 3, grabbing them for just $199. Since we've never spotted them this low before, it's best to hop on this deal quickly.

Looking to capture your adventures in vivid detail? DJI is the favorite camera among influencers and even novices, for filming on the go. A fan favorite is the DJI Osmo Pocket 3, a hero when it comes to vlogging and a camera we spotted in the hands of influencers all over VidCon. But for your more rugged escapades, you need a more rugged camera. That's where the DJI Osmo 360 comes in.

The DJI Osmo 360 camera captures moments in native 8K panoramic recording. It has extended battery life, supporting 100 minutes of recording time in 8K. But when you need to recharge, it'll do so quickly, charging to 50% battery in just 12 minutes. And most important, a DJI Osmo 360 combo kit just reached its lowest price ever.

As of Dec. 11, get the DJI Osmo 360 Handlebar POV Combo for just $479.99 at Amazon. That saves $105 off its $584.99 list price, bringing it down to its lowest price ever. Stock is limited on this combo which includes a handlebar mount so grab it while you can for 18% off.

In a move that, well, certainly feels unexpected, you can now play Fortnite as Kim Kardashian. The game announced limited-edition skins of the reality star. They also released an emote harkening back to that famous "break the internet" cover of Paper magazine from 2014.

Here's a video from the game announcing the skins.

Kardashian herself posted about it on X.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

The game is hosting the Kim Kardashian Cup on Dec. 12 with winners earning early access to the skins (for free). Otherwise, you'll have to pony up 1,500 V-Bucks.

To be fair, Kardashian is far from the only celeb to have Fortnite skin — it's a pretty regular occurrence. Still, it's only a matter of time before we see clips of Kim Kardashian in Fortnite, which is certainly quite the sentence.

On Friday, December 5, Netflix announced that it would be acquiring Warner Bros. in a deal worth $82.7 billion. That made them the winners of a bidding war that kicked off in September, when Paramount just out of nowhere went, "hey, Warner Bros., mind if I buy you?" But Paramount's not quitting just yet. On Monday, December 8, Paramount launched its own hostile takeover bid of Warner Bros. with an offer worth $108.4 billion. 

What is going on? Why is everyone going after Warner Bros.? And how is this going to impact TV and film going forward? Let's break it down.

If there's a streaming stick on your shopping list, we suggest grabbing it ASAP as the code is fleeting.

The newest streaming stick in the Fire TV lineup and also the most affordable 4K option, the 4K Select offers vibrant 4K quality with HDR10+ support and an ultra-responsive and fast new operating system called Vega. We haven't tested it yet ourselves, but we weren't thrilled with the old operating system, so we're totally on board with the upgrade. The plug-and-play design mirrors all other Fire TV Sticks and it will instantly put all of your favorite apps in one place — with Prime Video at the forefront, of course. It offers support for Xbox Game Pass, Amazon Luna, NordVPN, and IPVanish, and Alexa+ and Amazon Kids+ are also coming soon.

It doesn't offer Dolby Atmos or Vision and it can't turn your TV into an art TV like the 4K Max, but for everyday streaming, it's a pretty hard deal to beat for 10 bucks.

SAVE $600: The DJI Power 2000 is on sale at Amazon for $699, down from the list price of $1,299. That's a 46% discount that matches the lowest we've ever seen at Amazon.

We're in the thick of unstable weather these days. Our social media and news feeds are filled with weather warnings of atmospheric rivers, wind advisories, and cold snaps. That means power outages are plentiful. If you're not interested in dealing with the inconvenience that entails, a portable power station could be the best solution, and there's a major sale in store today.

As of Dec. 11, the DJI Power 2000 is on sale for $699 at Amazon, marked down from the usual price of $1,299. That works out to a savings of $600 from a 46% discount. It also matches the lowest we've ever seen at Amazon.

DJI is a favorite brand among content creators, making a phenomenal lineup of drones, cameras, and mics. But it's worth paying attention to the DJI power station lineup, too. In my testing of portable power stations, the DJI Power 2000 is the perfect model for creators.

Thanks to the dual SDC ports, drone owners can utilize DJI's fast charging. Other port options include two 140W USB-C, two 65W USB-C, four 24W USB-A, three AC, and even a 30amp.

In real-life situations, the DJI Power 2000's 2,048Wh can keep a WiFi router powered on for over 150 hours or a refrigerator for about 40 hours. Both of those will sure come in handy during the next power cut. Of course, you'll also be able to keep phones charged up.

Keep in mind, DJI is facing issues with getting products into the U.S., and it's nearly impossible to purchase directly from DJI right now. Instead, this Amazon deal is sold by a third-party seller. Mashable generally advises against buying from these sellers on Amazon, but DJI products have proven to be an exception since third-party is often the only way to snag a DJI product right now (and this one has positive ratings). Due to the nature of shipping portable power stations, the DJI Power 2000 is listed as non-returnable at Amazon, which is something to keep in mind before buying.

If this doesn't sound appealing, consider the DJI Power 1000, which is currently on sale for $349 or 50% off its normal price of $699. This sale price on Amazon is offered directly by DJI. You'll be halving the power offered from the DJI Power 2000, but it's also half the price.

In either case, DJI makes solid portable power stations. If you're looking for better protection during the next storm, the DJI Power 2000 is down to the record-low price of $699 today.

The Daily Show's Desi Lydic took aim at Donald Trump's treatment of female reporters, calling out the president's repeated misogynist insults on Wednesday night's show.

Trump has a long history of verbally attacking women journalists, but recently the president has made more than one recent headline with his offensive, childish, and degrading comments — despite the White House insisting "this has nothing to do with gender."

On The Daily Show, Lydic showed a montage of Trump's comments, before responding:

"Mr. Trump, just a quick follow up. What the f*** is your problem?"

"God, this guy is exhausting. It's like he won't stop until he gives every woman in the country resting Melania face. Can you just try being nice to a woman just once?"

Speaking of things the president has said...

Seth Meyers used his "A Closer Look" segment on Late Night to examine the current state of the U.S. economy, and it's not the A+++++ President Donald Trump awarded himself with.

"As I'm sure you guys know, the economy is awesome," said Meyers. "The other day, I went to the grocery store and bought some coffee, some bananas, some ground beef, and, long story short, I have to keep doing this show until 2038."

The late night host took a deep dive into historic levels of job loss and rising consumer prices for basic necessities for Americans, including the increase in energy prices.

"Costs on everything from food to electricity are soaring while employers are shedding jobs," said Meyers. "This is when a president needs to show empathy, demonstrate that he understands the plight of hard working Americans and oh no, as I'm saying this, I'm remembering who I'm talking about and realising there's no f***ing way he's going to do that."

Meyers threw to Trump's recent interview with POLITICO's Dasha Burns, in which the president awarded his economy an "A-plus-plus-plus-plus-plus" grade.

"Now, of course, it won't surprise you to learn that Trump's assessment of the economy is very much at odds with how pretty much everyone else feels about it," said Meyers, and he's right. Americans are deeply concerned with the current state of the U.S. economy. According to a Fox News poll, 76 percent of voters view the economy negatively, with voters blaming Trump; the New York Times reports 38 percent of voters approve of how the president is handling the economy while 61 percent disapprove.

"So it's less of an A-plus-plus-plus-plus and more of an F-minus-minus-minus-minus-minus," said Meyers.

Wrapping up, Meyers concluded, "Trump is running up against the same problem Biden had. You can't convince people the economy is good when they can see the truth with their own eyes, every time they buy groceries or pay their heating bills."

'Tis the season to deck the halls, don our gay apparel, and argue with family about what actually qualifies as a Christmas movie. Who better to settle these debates than the cast of Oh. What. Fun., the now-streaming comedy about a family whose festive fumblings lead to a barrage of holiday hijinks.

Michelle Pfeiffer, Denis Leary, Chloë Grace Moretz, Felicity Jones, and Dominic Sessa play a family in the Michael Showalter-helmed film. But with Entertainment Editor Kristy Puchko, they played "Does It Ring Christmas?" — a game where, if a movie title rings true to Christmas to you, you ring a jingle bell.

Die Hard is just the tip of the iceberg. Mashable asked about a string of movies that internet users have proclaimed a "Christmas movie." We're talking Eyes Wide Shut, Gremlins, Trading Places, Lethal Weapon, and Batman Returns, which also famously stars Pfeiffer as an anti-heroine who has had enough.

The Oh. What. Fun. cast also weighed in on the holiday classics they gravitate toward each yuletide, giving answers like The Family Stone, It's a Wonderful Life, Home Alone, Elf, and Bad Santa.

Yet asked what Christmas movie is best paired with Oh. What. Fun., there was one clear answer. Watch the video above to the end to find out!

Oh. What. Fun. is now streaming on Prime Video.

FREE IPHONE 17: T-Mobile is offering those who switch to their network, and with eligible trade-ins, a deal to get up to four free iPhone 17s and four lines on the Essentials unlimited plan for $25 per line (a total of $100 per month).

Planning to give the generous gift of a new iPhone this Christmas? Or maybe you deserve an upgrade? Either way, T-Mobile has you covered with a special festive deal that could see you walking away with a free iPhone 17. And you don't even need to trade anything in to qualify for this offer. We know that sounds wild, but there are obviously some hoops to jump through.

If you port your number and open a new line on T-Mobile's Experience Beyond plan, you'll get the Apple iPhone 17 thrown in for free. That ends up saving you $830. That's a lot of cash that can be put to much better use of the holidays.

T-Mobile's Experience Beyond plan costs $100 per month for one line. The monthly price is locked for five years, but does include some nice extras like Hulu, Netflix, unlimited mobile hotspot, full-flight texting, and WiFi with streaming. What's probably clear at this point is that you aren't really getting a "free" iPhone 17 with this promotion. But if you were already looking to move to a new premium plan, this deal significantly sweetens the pot.

You will need to pay tax on the full price of the iPhone 17 up front, plus a one-time $35 device connection fee and your first monthly payment to access the service. Then the cost of the phone will be paid out via 24 monthly bill credits. You'll also need to enroll in AutoPay, transfer your number from an eligible carrier (find details here), and add the new line. We weren't lying when we said there are some hoops to jump through, but this is the iPhone 17 we're talking about. It's worth the hassle.

Americans are deeply concerned with the current state of the U.S. economy. According to a recent Fox News poll, 76 percent of voters view the economy negatively, with voters blaming President Donald Trump; the New York Times reports 38 percent of voters approve of how Trump is handling the economy while 61 percent disapprove.

So if you've been struggling, frustrated, and worried about rising prices of late, the president has some "sound advice," as Stephen Colbert pointed out during his Late Show monologue on Wednesday night. During a Pennsylvania rally on Wednesday, Trump told Americans they should "give up certain products."

"You can give up pencils," the president said. "That's under the China policy, you know, every child can get 37 pencils, they only need one or two, you know, they don't need that many."

"How much does he think pencils cost?" asked Colbert on The Late Show. "Our fact-checkers checked, a pack of pencils is $4.36 on Amazon. So saving money on pencils may not be the stupidest thing he's ever said, but I'm gonna say it's number two."

Speaking of things the president has said...

Walmart is riding high when it comes to Pokémon TCG right now. Not only is the Unova Poster Collection below market value, but the Mega Kangaskhan ex Box is listed for $24.97 (market value) whilst stock last. It's a brilliant sign of things to come in my opinion, with stock readily available at the price it should be. Amazon needs to watch out, as TCGplayer is also on the case by consistently undercutting their inflated prices and I'm here for it.

I've said this a million times by now and I'll say it again — you'll likely save money by buying the Pokémon card you're chasing instead of buying and ripping endless booster packs. TCGplayer is a great way to get the proper prices and market value tracking in the U.S. It's owned by eBay and works off a similar model of sellers making up the market, which means the best prices and your supporting independant traders. They have publicly visable reviews and ratings, giving you some solid confidence when buying.

Lily Allen possibly turning West End Girl into a West End play? MAKE IT SO.

The artist joined Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show to unpack writing the most talked-about album of the year, in which Allen airs more than dirty laundry on her tempestuous open relationship with Stranger Things star David Harbour.

When Fallon mentions the album's runaway success has lead to the potential development of a play in London, Allen doesn't give much away but says, "That's true."

"Are you involved with that?" asks the host.

"I might be," says Allen. "The ink is not dry, but I'm definitely having some conversations with people, it's very exciting."

The idea of turning West End Girl track "Pussy Palace" into a stage number is all I need to get through the day, to be honest, but remembering the lyrics to "West End Girl" and a certain someone's reaction to Allen's previous West End success might get me through the whole year.
