Amazon Deals of the Day: I Found a Discount on Taylor Swift's Album-Reveal Headphones

CNET16 hours ago
Amazon sells a vast array of products, with new ones arriving daily across multiple categories, including home essentials, tech gadgets and furniture. Lucky for us, the retail giant loves cutting prices as much as it loves adding new products. But deciding which offers are worth grabbing (and which aren't) is a full-time job, so we did all the heavy lifting, hand-picking the top markdowns from the bunch.
Today, we spotted the headphones that Taylor Swift just wore in the announcement for her new album, The Life of a Showgirl, at a nice discount. We also found the Anker Soundcore portable speaker for over 30% off. And finally, the Magic Bullet is only $5 more than its record-low price.
Unless you're living under a rock, you know that Taylor Swift just announced her 12th studio album "The Life of a Showgirl" on football star Travis Kelce's podcast. But what you might've overlooked are the headphones she was wearing as she revealed the blurred-out cover art album. These are the Sony MDR7506 headphones and they've actually been around since the 90s. But they prove to be a great pair of vintage headphones. It uses neodymium magnets and 40-millimeter drivers to produce excellent sound. I mean, why else would Taylor Swift be rocking them? These wired headphones have an almost 10-foot cord, so you can still move around without having to unplug.
Swifties, it's your chance to grab Swift's headphones at a discount. Normally listed for $110, you can score $10 off the headphones, bringing them down to $100. It's not the best deal ever, but it lets you twin with Taylor for just $100.
A reliable speaker can make a huge difference to your life, especially one that you can take on the go. The Anker Soundcore 2 is exactly that, it even previously took home the CNET Editors' Choice award. We love it because it delivers higher than average sound quality, especially for the price. It is also water-resistant and has strong battery life, perfect to bring along on any adventure. There's also a built-in microphone for speakerphone calls. Plus, it can go up to reasonably high volumes before it starts to distort, something we don't usually see for speakers in this price range.
This affordable speaker retails for $45. But thanks to a limited-time 35% discount, you'll pay just $29. That's a price you can't beat, plus it's only $1 more than the lowest price of the year.
Having a blender to make smoothies, sauces and more is essential. But an easier way is by using the Magic Bullet Blender. This 11-piece set is compact and made for fast and easy food prep. It is made with a high-torque power base and stainless steel blades, meaning it can handle all sorts of ingredients. The blender also comes with cups, lids and to-go accessories to help make it easy to serve and store what you made. It's lightweight and easy to clean, no hassle required.
This blender set is normally 50 bucks. But thanks to a 30% discount, you can pick one up for $35, only $5 more than the all-time low price.
With so many deals on Amazon, deciding which ones are worth your money can be difficult. But CNET combs through what the world's largest online retailer has to offer each day and gathers the best deals for you to check out.

Mom Corrects Mother-in-Law at Family Dinner After She Takes Credit for Baby's Name

The woman insists she was the one who chose her daughter's name, but her husband says the correction should have waited until they were alone NEED TO KNOW A woman says her mother-in-law took credit at dinner for naming her 11-month-old daughter She immediately corrected the claim, with her husband confirming the real story Her husband later told her she was right, but says she should have waited for a private moment A woman turns to the Reddit community for advice following an awkward family dinner where her mother-in-law took credit for naming her 11-month-old daughter. She explains in her post that she and her husband have been married for almost two years and that the name came from a beloved character in a 'very popular book/movie franchise' they both enjoy. 'When we found out we were having a girl, one of the names that was immediately top contender was the name of a character I really like,' she says. Over time, that name became the only one she wanted, and the couple eventually shared it with their parents. She remembers her mother-in-law questioning whether there might be an alternative spelling that could cause confusion. 'I had said no it wouldn't and had explained to her the subtle difference in pronunciation,' she recalls. 'It was a whole conversation I'd had with her.' Fast forward to a family gathering at her in-laws' home for dinner. Her brother-in-law and his wife were there as well, and everyone was watching the baby cruise around the room, laughing and glancing back to see who was watching. Her sister-in-law's wife remarked how radiant the baby looks and how she'd 'really taken to her name literally.' That's when her sister-in-law said it was a 'really good choice by my MIL,' leaving the new mom confused. 'I asked what she's talking about and my SIL said that my MIL had been the one to recommend the name, right?' she shares. Her mother-in-law then chimes in to agree, saying she'd said it was a good name. The poster remembers being 'literally stunned for a second' before speaking up. She made it clear she was the one who came up with the name, sharing how she knew of it and that her husband also recognized it from the franchise. She even turned to her husband for confirmation, which he gave — though uncomfortably. Her mother-in-law responded that 'names are a collective family effort, and everyone pitched in,' but the woman still pushed back. 'I still said this name was one that was very dear to me and it was one I'd come up with,' she explains. Later that night, when they got home, her husband started receiving texts from his mom and sister. While he told her she's correct in her version of events, he also said she was 'tactless.' 'He said we know it was my name, and our daughter has a beautiful name that suits her, why make it into something that causes bitterness,' she recounts. The next day, her husband had a routine phone call with his mother, and she asked if her mother-in-law is still upset. 'He said she was,' the woman writes. 'He said that he understood why I did it but it wasn't the time and place.' That's when she turned to Reddit to ask if she was wrong. One commenter calls out her husband's stance, quoting his words: ' 'He said that he understood why I did it but it wasn't the time and place.' Did he happen to share with you when would have been a better time to correct your mother in law's revisionist history and why he didn't have a word with her and correct her himself? Big fat, NTA.' Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer​​, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. The original poster replies that her husband never gave a specific alternative moment. 'No, he didn't say it but he said it shouldn't have been clarified in front of an audience,' she explains. 'So I'm assuming he meant when it was just me with MIL.' She adds that if her mother-in-law had made the comment when they were alone, she would have corrected her then. 'I didn't enjoy saying it in front of others,' she admits. 'It's just that's when it was brought up.' Now she's left wondering whether defending the truth about her daughter's name in the moment was worth the fallout. Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword

YouTube Music gets another music discovery tool that Spotify doesn't have

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR Google is testing a new Daily Discover feed in YouTube Music. Like the existing weekly discover, the daily discover aims to help you find artists or music similar to what you already listen. Google only appears to be testing it at the moment, as the feature hasn't rolled out widely. Although its supremacy is contentious, YouTube Music is easily among the top five music and podcast streaming services globally. Its popularity naturally stems from the fact that it automatically sorts music (or other audio-based media) uploaded to YouTube. While the automatic sourcing already allows you to discover more tracks, including renditions, covers, audiobooks, etc., YouTube Music is adding a new Daily Discover feed to make the process much easier. We recently learned that Google is testing a new Daily Discover option to recommend new tracks every day based on your preferences. The feature, as spotted by Reddit user One_Flow_8127, is positioned somewhere on the homepage. It appears on top of the 'Trending songs for you' section, which appears after several scrolls on YouTube Music's homepage on the Android app. Based on the screenshots shared, we can see these recommendations show up in a carousel format, and people can scroll left or right to explore multiple recommendations. The feature shows recommendations for particular soundtracks instead of entire playlists, and also tells you the reason why it is being suggested. However, if you prefer, the suggestions also come with a 'Play All' button that should combine all tracks into a new playlist. The primary motive behind this feature is to learn about new artists and their music, which may be loosely based on your interests and listening habits. While its biggest competitor, Spotify, also offers discovery features, it primarily focuses on familiar artists and dispenses these recommendations in playlists instead of regular tracks. Don't want to miss the best from Android Authority? Set us as a preferred source in Google Search to support us and make sure you never miss our latest exclusive reports, expert analysis, and much more. The daily discover option itself isn't new and was previously spotted by another Reddit user, BarisberatWNR, about a month ago. However, for them, the recommendations appeared in a different location on the homepage, suggesting YouTube may be testing varied placements to see what is likely to get the most attention. Last month, another user posted in Google's Community forums about the feature appearing and then being removed from their account. From what we expect, the daily discover feature could complement or substitute YouTube's Discover mix, a playlist refreshed weekly instead of daily. To be able to access this weekly discover playlist, you must scroll down on YouTube Music's homepage and spot it under the 'Mixed for you' tab. This appears to be a limited test for certain users, as many others on the original Reddit post have commented about not receiving it. We can't access the feature either, and it isn't easy to ascertain whether this is meant to be an A/B test or a rollout. Further, it appears to have turned it on from the server-side, so updating the app to a newer version will not achieve positive results, though there is no harm in doing so. Follow

The Narwal Flow is the closest I've seen a robot vacuum get to being perfect

Narwal Flow If you're considering a robot vacuum purchase purely based on its ability to leave floors of all types as clean as possible, the Narwal Flow is the best bot you can get. AI-powered navigation, EdgeReach Technology, and anti-tangle brushes clean carpets and hard floors all the way to the edges and into the corners with zero fuss. The multi-function base station, with self-cleaning and drying functions, also makes it a breeze to use. Today, I looked at my floor and noticed it looked exceptionally good. I have been reviewing the very best robot vacuums for quite some time now, so they are constantly running in my home. What bot made me take notice? That would be the Narwal Flow. Not only does the floor look great, but the edges and corners are super clean, and my rugs are clean and have not moved from where I placed them. A number of vacuums can accomplish all of these things, but this is the first time they have all happened at the same time. And after testing it for a month, running it for well over 1,000 hours and 7,500 sqft of floor cleaning tasks, I'm pretty happy to declare that this is one of the best robot vacuums you can buy. What's the Narwal Flow all about? Paul Jones / Android Authority Back at CES 2025 we awarded the Narwal Flow a CES 2025 Breakthrough award for its various innovations. The multi-function base station, and the new FlowWash System with EdgeReach Technology were top factors in that decision. It was obvious from those early demos that this was going to be the bot to beat for floor mopping in 2025, so I'm super pleased to have now had the bot in-house for live testing. Traditionally, Narwal deploys dual spinning mop pads on its bots. With the Narwal Flow, the FlowWash Mopping System is an elongated roller system. This creates a full-width flat surface that can polish a lot of surfaces at once. The Flow also adds EdgeReach, which allows the roller to push out to the side so that the bot can clean completely to the edge of your room and into corners. Jonathan Feist / Android Authority The Flow is equipped with familiar folding front brushes and a zero-tangling main roller, powered by 20,000 Pa of suction pressure for all of your vacuuming needs. Though Narwal has been a leader in terms of mapping and navigation in the past, the Flow steps that up, too. Combining powerful AI computing in their Twin-AI Dodge with the reliability of 3D modeling from LiDAR sensors, the Flow navigates my home better than any Narwal bot before it. Plus, the LiDAR sensor is now situated in the rear casing, making this one of the shortest Narwal bots as well, perfect for getting under furniture. Jonathan Feist / Android Authority The 8-in-1 multi-function base station houses clean and dirty water canisters, a large dry debris collection bag, and an assortment of self-cleaning and automation features. These features promise many weeks of maintenance-free and stress-free operation. Many promises, but how does the Narwal Flow stack up in the real world? Jonathan Feist / Android Authority Let's start with the basics. The Flow is proving to be a very reliable vacuum, and that all starts with mapping and navigation. After setup, the Flow mapped my floors just as well as previous Narwal units did, and it continues to navigate with precision. It accurately identifies cords, shoes, furniture, and carpets that it should avoid running over. This includes my extra-thick bath mats that I always talk about; the Flow is the first bot to identify the mats as being too tall for it, avoiding them instead of getting stuck on them. Jonathan Feist / Android Authority Narwal vacuum suction systems were enough to pick up metal marbles, Lego, and other heavy debris back when the bots were around 8,000 Pa; now that the Flow offers 20,000 Pa, picking up debris and pulling things out of deeper carpets is better than ever. The Flow successfully gets those pesky pine needles from all the cracks and crevices. Edge-to-edge, there are few bots as thorough as the Narwal Flow The navigation and reach systems effectively clean the edges and corners of the room. These systems also ensure coverage around furniture legs, which is great. The Narwal Flow continues the tradition of Narwal bots successfully cleaning all the way under my kitchen table, navigating the chair legs and other obstacles. It helps that the bot is shorter than most, so it has no issue at all getting under the low bars and my other low furniture. Jonathan Feist / Android Authority Dry debris is cleanly pulled from the bot after each session, storing the dust and leaves in the 2.5L vacuum bag in the base station. That multi-function base station also does a great job at cleaning the mop pad, using heat and air. For my wood floors, this is the best clean I've seen from any robot vacuum to date. In terms of mopping, the roller pad presses into the floor with 12N of downward force to buff away any dirt and grime that might have still existed on my floors. My hardwoods and tile are looking fantastic. The cleaning solution that Narwal creates has always worked well with my floors, which might change your results, but this is, without question, the best result from a Narwal bot that I've seen to date, and, in fact, the best I've seen from any robot vacuum, period. Jonathan Feist / Android Authority Sadly, the base station does not have automatic detergent addition. You have to manually add the solution to the clean water canister each time you fill it. Speaking of, I'm having to refill the bucket (and empty and clean the used water bucket) for every 900 sqft of mopping. That's just over two full cleanings of my space. Of course, the Flow has plenty of AI smarts baked in, too. I've been using the Freo Mind mode, which has been adjusting the cleaning strategy as it goes. The bot spends more or less time in certain areas based on previous cleaning needs, and may change up its flow, starting in one room or another, or cleaning edges first, then the middle. Narwal is still using its DirtSense technology, which very accurately detects the cleanliness of the water coming off the mop roller. The system overall knows how clean or dirty your space is by tracking the cleanliness of the roller at the time of cleaning in the base station. If the roller is too dirty, then the bot may go back out to clean again. Jonathan Feist / Android Authority What matters most to me is that I cannot see any spots on my floor that the Flow has missed, and I do not have to go around after it to put things back in place that it's run into or pushed around. Most modern high-end robot vacuums are really good at navigation, but the Narwal Flow stands out for precision. In terms of navigation, the absolute only thing I've seen that the Flow could improve on is how it handles closed doors. If the bot knows there's a room behind that door, it's a little pushy at trying to get in there. It does not run into the door if it's completely closed, but if the door is just barely open, the Flow may try to push in. That was a startling experience when I was in the shower once, but it was worth the laugh. Narwal Flow specifications Narwal Flow Expand Robot Dimensions: 368 x 330 x 95 mm Functions ✔ Sweeps ✔ Vacuums ✔ Mops Expand Narwal Flow review verdict: Is it worth it? Jonathan Feist / Android Authority At $1,499 MSRP, the Flow is definitely on the premium end of robot vacuum cleaners, but if I had the cash, I'd buy one as a gift for all of my family and friends. In particular, I know someone with three big dogs who is struggling to keep their floors clean. The Narwal Flow is the first bot I think can keep up with those slobbery beasts and their shedding hair. For the overall cleaning experience, I am reminded of the Narwal Freo Z Ultra ($1499.99 at Amazon) and the Roborock Saros 10R ($1599.99 at Amazon). The Freo Z Ultra is from an older generation of Narwal bots, which helped pave the way for what we get today. It included superb, LiDAR-driven mapping and navigation, and also produced a very pleasant polished clean on my hard floors. Automation and AI-smarts made the Freo Z Ultra a fantastic choice, but it only has 12,000 Pa of suction pressure, and the LiDAR turret on top made it fairly tall. The Narwal Flow feels better to me in almost every way. The Flow is a no-fuss floor cleaner with great navigation. The next best option in its price tier is the Roborock Saros 10R, which excels at navigation, even if the Narwal has it beat in terms of mopping. If you really want to have fun, the Saros Z70 ($2599 at Amazon) is also available, but most people won't want to pay an extra $1,000 for that bot's party trick: a robotic arm. If you want something below the $1,000 price threshold, the Eureka J15 Pro Ultra ($799.99 at Amazon) is also a great choice. Jonathan Feist / Android Authority I try not to get attached to review units I get sent to test, but I'm going to be sad when this bot moves on. That's about the best recommendation I think I can give. Narwal Flow Reliable, powerful vacuuming • Great mopping capabilities • Great hair anti-tangle • Precision navigation MSRP: $1,499.99 Narwal's best in 2025 is a superb floor cleaner The Narwal Flow is a robot vacuum with powerful mopping tools for a full-home clean.
