Noise-canceling earbuds may be a popular pick for listeners, but there's something nice about open earbuds. They are a great option for those who prefer to be more aware of what's going on around them while listening, rather than being cut off from the outside world. If you've been thinking about buying a pair, the Sony LinkBuds Clip is a model we recommend.

Amazon even has them on sale right now, so it's a perfect time to grab them.

Normally listed at $228, the Sony LinkBuds Clip is now $198 on Amazon in every color. That saves you $30 overall, though not for long. Most of the colors have a "limited time deal" tag right now, so be quick to scoop them up at this price before the discount disappears.

Their battery can last up to 37 hours with the charging case, they feature a comfortable and secure fit, and they boast excellent sound quality, with writer Simon Cohen saying they're "some of the best-sounding open-ear wireless earbuds you can buy" in our review.

On top of that, they come with three listening modes: Standard, Voice Boost for noisy places, and Sound Leakage Reduction for quieter places. That way, you can find the best option depending on where you are.

$349.99 Save $150.99 Get Deal

An 180Hz gaming monitor from a top-tier brand can rack up quite a price in today’s market, even in smaller sizes. That said, Amazon is continuing its string of reliable Samsung bargains, making it much easier on your bank account to upgrade your setup. 

As of Aug. 17, the Samsung 32-inch Odyssey G5 (G50F model) gaming monitor is available to buy for only $199 on Amazon. Against its $349.99 list price, that cuts $150.99 off the total for a 43% discount — and is now the lowest price ever seen at the retailer (as confirmed via price tracker camelcamelcamel).

Sold and shipped by Amazon directly, free delivery is available, with orders fulfilled by Aug. 22, while Prime members can get it as soon as Aug. 18. Free 30-day returns are included, too. 

For the money, the Odyssey G5 offers a 32-inch Fast IPS panel with 2560x1440 QHD resolution. That’s 1.7 times the pixel density of Full HD — so when you boot up even the latest games like Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls or Beast of Reincarnation, you’ll get a noticeably sharper display without paying tons more for OLED or 4K.  

Speaking of Marvel Tokon, any fast-paced title like fighting games or shooters will feel incredible to play thanks to the Odyssey G5’s 180Hz refresh rate, too. Along with the 1ms GtG response time, the extra speed should make motion feel much cleaner than on a basic 60Hz or 75Hz screen.

NVIDIA G-Sync and AMD FreeSync are both supported, helping the monitor stay in step with compatible graphics cards to reduce tearing, lag, and uneven-looking motion. Plus, the classic HDR10 lends brighter highlights and more nuanced shadows, while the IPS panel offers a wide 178-degree viewing angle.

For even more value at the sub-$200 price point, Samsung has also packed in several gaming extras: Black Equalizer for brightening darker areas to make hidden enemies easier to spot, Virtual Aim Point for an on-screen crosshair, and Auto Source Switch+ for automatically jumping to newly connected devices.

Any gamers who fancy trying out 4K OLED can also find LG's 32-inch UltraGear monitor on sale at 40% off. Among even larger monitors, the 40-inch curved Samsung Odyssey G7 is on offer for under $650.

Magic: The Gathering’s Marvel Super Heroes expansion has already seen some hefty cuts across its popular collection of packs and boxes, and you can now get a bundle on sale that’s perfect for both MTG newcomers and veterans.

The cheapest Amazon listing is sold and shipped by third-party seller MOHZAK LLC, with free delivery currently scheduled for Aug. 27. If you’d prefer getting yours as soon as possible, Amazon itself is directly selling and shipping the Bundle for $59.93, only 94 cents more, with free delivery set for Aug. 22 or as soon as Aug. 18 for Prime members.

Whichever option you choose, you can take comfort from knowing that you’re getting a lower price than what’s ever been available on Amazon before — as confirmed via price tracker camelcamelcamel.

Hayden Panettiere, star of Heroes, Nashville, and the Scream franchise, has died aged 36.

Announced by CBS News, the actor passed away on Monday. According to the news outlet, "an investigation is ongoing" into Panettiere's death, with no further information at this stage.

Tributes to Panettiere are pouring in from family, friends, co-stars, celebrities, and fans. In a statement given to CBS News through a publicist, her father Skip Panettiere paid tribute to his daughter.

"It is with profound sadness that we share the tragic passing of our beloved Hayden," his statement reads. "She was an incredible light and a force of nature who brought immeasurable love and joy to all who knew her — and to the millions who watched her onscreen. We ask for privacy as our family takes time to process this unimaginable loss."

New York-raised Panettiere's screen career spanned decades, from TV roles in soap opera One Life to Live at four years old to her celebrated performance as high school cheerleader Claire on Heroes and her Golden Globe-nominated role as country music star Juliette Barnes on Nashville. In film, Panettiere was well-known for her Scream character Kirby Reed, as well as roles in Remember the Titans, Custody, Bring It On: All or Nothing, and Raising Helen. And she also gained fame for her voice acting in video games Until Dawn and Kingdom Hearts.

Panetierre detailed her life in her memoir, This Is Me: A Reckoning, released in May 2026. She is survived by her daughter, Kaya.

Beneath Panetierre's final Instagram post, friends and fans are posting messages of grief and shock at the actor's passing, including actor Selma Blair, who wrote, "I love you. Don’t be gone." 7th Heaven star Beverley Mitchell also posted under the photo, describing Panetierre as a "bright light."

Viola Davis, who starred in Custody with Panettiere in 2016, posted on Instagram. "What an amazing talent you were....so gifted," she wrote. "I wish the world had more time with you because I had a burning curiosity about who you were becoming. I saw this beautiful Phoenix rising from the ashes. Your tests became your testimony, and your testimony became your legacy. You will be remembered."

Panetierre's Scream co-star Melissa Barrera posted a tribute in an Instagram Story, writing, "Rest in peace sweet Hayden."

One Tree Hill star Bethany Joy-Lenz posted on Instagram mourning her long-time friend, saying she met Panettiere at New York production studio Screen Gems in childhood. "I'm crushed. I knew the wild little blonde. Was she nine? Ten? I was eighteen. She ran through the Screen Gem studio hallways at 222 E44th St. laughing and playing games in between blocking and camera rehearsals."

Singer Jojo shared an Instagram Story writing of the "devastating news."

SAG-AFTRA posted on X in tribute to Panettiere, who was a member of the guild for decades. "We mourn the sudden passing of Hayden Panettiere," the post reads. "Our hearts are with her daughter, family, friends & fans.|

Tesla is an electric vehicle pioneer in many ways, but one fairly pedestrian option was missing from its cars — until now.

The company recently started selling an optional vehicle-to-load (V2L) adapter for its Model Y Premium and Performance trims in the U.S. With this $80 adapter, the car can be used for charging other gadgets, such as phones, laptops and the like.

SEE ALSO: Tesla shows first Cybercab with built-in Starlink. Elon Musk explains why it needs one.

The company didn't announce the change anywhere, but the adapter started showing up in the configurator for Model Y. The specs, per Tesla's website, are as follows: The 120V, 20A adapter has 2.4kW maximum power and can be used to power devices like "lights and laptops."

The adapter can also be bought separately for $80. To use it, you need to have Tesla's Gen 3 Mobile Connector.

Other car companies, including Ford and Hyundai, have been selling V2L adapters for their own cars for a while, but Tesla has taken its time with it, even though the underlying functionality was (probably) there.

For some reason, the non-Premium Model Y trims don't offer the adapter as an option, and none of the Model 3 variants have it, either. Vehicle-to-home (V2H) functionality isn't available on any of the Model Y or Model 3 variants.

The Cybertruck, currently the most luxurious car in Tesla's lineup, offers both the V2L adapter and V2H functionality, with the "Universal Home Charger and Gateway," necessary to power your home via the Cybertruck, priced at $1,970.

CVS just dropped its Epic Beauty Sale, and if you've been eyeing a restock on your holy grails (or just really need a new mascara), now's the time to shop.

From Aug. 16-29, CVS is giving shoppers $10 off when they spend $30 or more on beauty and personal care products. That includes cosmetics, skin care, hair care, SPF, and shaving essentials, so your entire routine is fair game.

How to get this limited-time deal

The sale is a member-only perk, so you'll need an ExtraCare card to cash in. The good news, though, is that signing up is free and takes about two minutes. Once you're a member, you'll also unlock sale prices, personalized deals sent straight to your phone or inbox, and 2% back in ExtraBucks Rewards on what you buy in stores and online, and a $3 reward on your birthday.

Ten dollars off might not sound life-changing, but on a $30 beauty haul, that's essentially a free product. Stack it with whatever's already on sale in the beauty aisle, and you could walk out with a solid haul for less than usual.

It also has great battery life, promising up to 100 minutes on hardwood floors. It also has BoostIQ Technology that automatically adjusts the suction power within 1.5 seconds depending on the surface.

To help it avoid obstacles, it uses an infrared sensor to navigate, plus it has drop-sensing technology that helps prevent falls. Once it's done cleaning, the robot will automatically return to its charging base when needed.

It also features an anti-scratch tempered glass top cover and a single-side brush designed to prevent scattering while maintaining suction power.
