Media streamers have exploded in popularity in recent years, leading to the introduction of so many different models that it can make a shopper’s head spin. Many TVs even come with built-in smart functionality today but often don’t feature the wide array of apps and services of a dedicated streaming device. If you’re in the market for an affordable media streamer but the sheer number of different models is giving you choice paralysis, consider the excellent Buy Now which is now on sale for Buy Now .
The Roku Premiere+ was announced last September and is our favorite choice among the best TV streaming devices. It’s easy to see why: Aimed at users who want to enjoy their favorite shows and movies in crisp Ultra HD, this new member of the Roku family is one of the least expensive ways to start streaming in 4K. The Premiere+ supports HDR content for a true next-gen HD picture, and high-speed dual-band 802.11 AC Wi-Fi delivers fast streaming for fewer disruptions due to buffering or latency. Notably, this Roku offers 60fps capability as well, giving it a leg up over many of its competitors that don’t yet feature this.
The RF remote features “point-anywhere” functionality as well as a 3.5mm jack for the included stereo earbuds so you can enjoy your shows and movies in private without disturbing others. Additionally, Night Listening can selectively muffle loud noises coming from the TV. Like other Roku devices, the Premiere+ offers a myriad of 4K and HD streaming apps such as NetFlix, Hulu, and Amazon, among many others.
The Buy Now normally costs $100, but a $21 discount brings this great streaming device down to just $79. We don’t know how long this discount will last, so if you’re looking for a streamer to enjoy your shows and movies in UHD, the Premiere+ is one of the most affordable 4K-capable units on the market and a great deal at this limited-time low price.
Instagram is making its way to yet another screen, and this time, Apple TV is getting a taste of the Reels rabbit hole. The company has launched a dedicated Instagram app for Apple TV, bringing Reels, longer videos, and live shows to the big screen. So, if watching one quick clip on a phone somehow turns into an hour of scrolling, there's now a much larger screen for that.

Audio-Technica, a brand well known for making some of the best studio and professional headphones on the market, has just come out with the ATH-AWX7000, which the company itself claims to be its "finest headphones ever." The new flagship closed-back headphone has debuted at an eye-watering price of $3,799. It combines hand-finished Japanese woodwork with a newly developed 58mm driver.
The earcups are made from Kiso cypress, a prized wood historically used for Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples. Each housing is finished by hand with traditional Echizen lacquer, which brings out the grain and is expected to darken over time. The frame and sliders are finished in a deep navy kachi-iro shade traditionally associated with samurai.
