There are new Best Buy deals each and every week, and it’s our job to keep on top of the retailer’s latest and greatest offers. If you’ve been shopping for a new 4K TV and would prefer to keep the cost low, we found a sale you’re going to love: Right now, you can purchase the 50-inch Insignia F30 Series for just $190. Normally priced at $300, that’s a $110 markdown for those keeping score. 

Why you should buy the Insignia 50-inch F30 TV

While the average TV size most folks go for is 55 inches, a 50-inch model is great for bedrooms, smaller living rooms, and can even be used as an external computer monitor in some cases. The Insignia F30 should fit in just about any space, and it delivers up to 4K resolution at 60Hz. This means that even if you’re watching low-res content, the TV will upscale the picture to get it as close to 4K as possible. 

As far as smart TV interface goes, the Insignia F30 runs on Amazon’s Fire TV OS (check out some of the best Amazon deals we found this week for other Fire devices). Not only will you be able to use the UI to access movie and TV show content from platforms like Amazon Prime Video, Netflix, and Disney+, but you’ll also have access to Apple AirPlay 2 and the Alexa voice assistant. The latter can even be used to control the smart home devices in your home!

We’ll be the first to admit you’ll probably want to look at some soundbar deals for this TV, but it’s not like the F30 doesn’t have any speakers at all. In fact, the 10W stereo configuration actually supports DTS Studio Sound, adding decent surround virtualization to the TV’s list of accolades. 

A Best Buy house brand, this Insignia TV deal could be gone in just a few days, so it’s important to buy soon if you’re interested. To reiterate, you’ll save yourself $110 when you purchase the Insignia 50-inch F30 Series through Best Buy.

The Beats Pill is back, baby!
A pair of Beats Pill speakers.

In what's been one of the worst-kept secrets of the year -- mostly because subtly putting a product into the hands of some of the biggest stars on the planet is no way to keep a secret -- the Beats Pill has returned. Just a couple of years after Apple and Beats unceremoniously killed off the stylish Bluetooth speaker, a new one has arrived.

Available for preorder today in either black, red, or gold, the $150 speaker (and speakerphone, for that matter) rounds out a 2024 release cycle for beats that includes the Solo Buds and Solo 4 headphones, and comes nearly a year after the Beats Studio Pro.

Ifi’s latest DAC is the first to add lossless Bluetooth audio
Ifi Audio Zen Blue 3 DAC (front).

Ifi Audio's new Zen Blue 3 wireless digital-to-analog converter (DAC) will officially be available to buy for $299 on July 9. When it is, it will be the first device of its kind to support a wide variety of Bluetooth codecs, including Qualcomm's aptX Lossless, the only codec that claims to deliver bit-perfect CD quality audio over a Bluetooth connection.

Admittedly, there are very few devices on the market that can receive aptX Lossless (and fewer that can transmit it), so it's a good thing that the Zen Blue 3 also works with the more widely supported aptX Adaptive, LDAC, and LDHC/HWA codecs (all of which are hi-res audio-capable), plus the three most common codecs: AAC, SBC, and aptX.

The new Beats Pill might replace Sonos on my back porch

If I were to build an outdoor stereo in 2024, I'd do it with a pair of portable Beats Pills instead of Sonos speakers. Phil Nickinson / Digital Trends

In 2017, after more than a decade in our home, my wife and I added a pool. With it came a covered deck, making what basically was a new outdoor room. Not uncommon at all in Florida, but new to us.
