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.

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.

These are the cheapest AirPods alternatives we can find — only $10
The SoundLiberty 53 next to their case.

We're living in an era where people are taking the extra time to find cheap alternatives to expensive brands. And while there are a ton of AirPods alternatives, none quite hit the low price tag itch like this pair from TaoTronics. And, that's before they went on sale. Grab the SoundLiberty 53 for just $9, down from $16, while this deal lasts and finally get something that looks like the latest AirPods and works great, but won't break the bank. Tap the button below to check them out for yourself or keep reading to see why people are liking these earbuds so much.

Why you should buy the SoundLiberty 53
The biggest draw to the SoundLiberty 53 is the cost to time used ratio. They're cheap but not so cheaply made that they are going to crumble on you. To put it into perspective, if you used these headphones on one charge (they have an estimated 50 hours of battery life) and then threw them away afterwards, you would be paying about 18 cents per hour of usage. The fact that they're IPX8 water resistant suggests, however, that they're going to have have a lot long life than that. Granted, you're unlikely to want to throw them away. The SoundLiberty 53 are quite loved by users, who find that they give a quality beat and fit comfortably. You'll also enjoy being able to use them in multiple usage modes. They can take calls and even be used one at a time, freeing up your other ear for conversation.

Onn. is known for making budget consumer electronics that anyone can enjoy and afford. This LED TV continues that trend nicely. It's a 4K TV that refreshes at 60Hz, which is the lowest of the standard refresh rates of today, but still quite smooth if you haven't trained your brain too much on 120Hz or higher. The TV can be wall mounted with a 200 x 200 VESA mount or put on a surface with the included legs. This TV works with Apple Home, Alexa, and Google Home smart homes and runs using the Roku operating system, which will allow you to transform your smartphone into a remote should you so choose or happen to lose the remote.
