Walmart offers some excellent deals year-round on everything from top tech to daily essentials. But these discounts can come and go in a flash, so CNET's dedicated deals team is here to help you make the most of them before they're gone. We've rounded up some of today's best offers below, which include a record-low price on premium Sonos headphones, over $70 off the latest GoPro action camera and a compact Ninja air fryer that you can grab for less than $70. Sonos makes some of the absolute best speakers and soundbars on the market right now, so it's no surprise that its Sonos Ace headphones have also earned a spot on our list of the best noise-canceling headphones. These premium over-ears impressed our reviewer with their comfortable design and top-of-the-line sound and noise-canceling capabilities, though they found the $449 price tag was a little too high to justify. However, they're a pretty great bargain now that you can grab them at a record-low price.

This compact and rugged GoPro can handle just about anything you throw at it, and it's a pretty great bargain at over $70 off.

29 Items That Could 100% Pass For More Expensive Brands
E.l.f. Suntouchable Invisible Sunscreen that doubles as a water-resistant sunscreen (with SPF 35) and a blurring primer that grips your makeup and keeps it looking smooth all day. It goes on clear — no white cast, no greasy finish — just a silky, lightweight layer of protection. If you're a fan of Supergoop's sunscreen but *not* the price, then this is the next best thing. A faux-pearl choker if you've ever drooled over the Vivienne Westwood one, but couldn't quite justify the $$$ price tag. This costs about the same as a trip to Starbucks, and reviewers say it looks just like the OG necklace! A pair of teardrop earrings you can wear with any 'fit for any occasion — not many accessories can look as equally amazing with slacks and a top as they do with a floor-length gown, but these pull it off! They might look like the Bottega Veneta ones, but thankfully, they're *much* cheaper. A pair of knee-high boots that'll have people ooh-ing and ahh-ing, thinking you spent hundreds of dollars on the Staud Wally ones. But, no — you were smart and snagged an almost identical version for well under $100. An action camera if you've been dreaming of documenting your adventures (especially the underwater ones) but aren't ready to splurge on a GoPro. It shoots clear 4K video, takes high-res photos, and has built-in stabilization so your footage doesn't look like a shaky mess while you're biking, hiking, or wiping out in the ocean. A pair of wireless over-the-ear headphones that are giving AirPods Max energy with their sleek look and premium cushion padding — except, of course, getting these won't require you handing over hundreds of dollars. They also feature a built-in mic for calls, 10 hours of battery life, and do a decent job of blocking out noise! A saddle shoulder bag because this is not the time to be going into debt over the $4,500 Dior one. This has the same signature curved silhouette and a longer strap so you can wear it as a crossbody too! A quilted leather crossbody purse so you can scratch that Chanel itch without spending that Chanel price. The structured shape gives it that elevated look, while the roomy interior fits your phone, keys, lip gloss, and whatever else you need to haul around. Dossier's "Ambery Vanilla" perfume if you're in love with YSL's Black Opium but not so into the $100 price tag. The scent lasts, the bottle's cute, and honestly? No one will know it's not designer unless you tell them (and even then, they might not believe you). A lightweight Sol de Janeiro hair and body fragrance mist in scent Cheirosa '68 — infused with a lovely blend of hibiscus, jasmine, and sun musk, it's reminiscent of the iconic Baccarat Rouge 540 (but won't leave your wallet crying). And a moisturizing body wash giving similar vibes, because you deserve to smell ~luxurious~. This white jasmine, red currant, and sweet amber–infused formula will get you pretty close to the OG without spending an arm and a leg. A pair of satin block-heeled dress shoes with the same elegant silhouette and pleated bow as those $$$ Loeffler Randall heels you've been eyeing. 👀 Reviewers have worn them to prom, weddings, engagement parties — one said they even wear them to church — so it's safe to say you'll definitely get more than your money's worth out of these. An 18-karat gold-plated cherry keychain to bring that playful pop of color your bag didn't know it needed. Its glossy red enamel and luxe gold finish makes it looks suspiciously like Coach's $95 version — but this one's under $10. 😉 An affordable outdoor umbrella with fringe detailing to take your patio game to the next level. You could easily convince guests you got this from Frontgate, when in reality, you spent less than 100 bucks on it. Besides providing basic shade, it also offers UPF 50+ level protection against blinding UV rays — proof that chic pieces can still be practical. An ornate Baroque mirror exuding the same vibes as the *up to $1,598* (🤯) Anthropologie one. I mean, you see the reviewer pics below — this thing is gorgeous, stunning, amazing — any room would be lucky to have it. An Overmont cast-iron Dutch oven people compare to budget-busting brands like Le Creuset in both its beauty and delivery of amazing meals. You don't need to sell your soul for high-quality, durable cookware (that also happens to be so pretty, it could double as decor). Some peel-and-stick palm leaf wallpaper to transform any room into a Pinterest inspo photo. This one is almost indistinguishable from West Elm's tropical wallpaper — except it's ~actually~ within your budget. A set of aesthetic wrist and ankle weights if you've seen the $50+ Bala Bangles on your feed and thought, "Wow, I want not for that price." Now you can be a part of the "walking with cute weights" community without the financial commitment! An affordable longline sports bra made from a very soft, stretchy material that's pretty similar to the Lulu Align tank. It's quickly become a staple in a ton of reviewers' wardrobes (with 30,000 5-star ratings to prove it), and many say they don't even wear a bra with this because of the supportive padding. It's so good, people are snagging it in different colors — and you'll probably want to as well. 😉 And a pair of lightweight legging-style joggers to complete your Lulu look. And just like the Lulu ones, these are breathable with a wide waistband for maximum comfort. You can wear them to work out, run errands, or just lounge in! Cushionaire slides that you don't have to break in (I'm looking at you, Birkenstocks) — the flexible cork footbed and cushioned insole means that they are comfortable right out of the box! But if you don't believe me, look at the over 50,000 5-star over 1,000 reviews comparing the support to Birks. A set of elegant cylindrical wineglasses to make drinking any beverage feel like you're celebrating something — and TBH, finding an affordable Crate & Barrel alternative IS cause for celebration. A spandex-blend slip maxi dress if you've always wanted to try the Skims version but just don't have the budget for it. It's soft and breathable, and some reviewers even like it more than Skims! Wear it casually with a bolero and sneakers, or jazz it up with some elegant jewelry and heels. And a scoop neck top that's also giving Skims a run for their money. It's super soft with the perfect amount of thickness and stretchiness, making it the perfect versatile staple for your closet. An A-line midi dress with the same corset back as the House of CB version — but this is about four times cheaper! Now, you can live your cottagecore dreams in this Pinterest-perfect dress without spending a large chunk of your paycheck. A TikTok-approved checkerboard throw blanket reviewers compare to the luxurious, $100+ Barefoot Dreams blanket. This one is so soft, you might just gasp when you feel it — and it comes in so many pretty colors that you're sure to find one that matches your space. A glass mushroom lamp because it's necessary to have a cute little lamp, especially at night — imagine having this in your kitchen so you don't have to turn on the overhead light while getting a midnight snack! This beauty is remarkably similar to options at Urban Outfitters and West Elm — except the price tag won't make your wallet shudder in fear. A sleeveless halter bodysuit so you don't have to splurge on one from Zara or Skims. This versatile piece goes with everything, and I mean everything: shorts, skirts, jeans, sweatpants, leggings, you name it. And it's slightly compressive (similar to shapewear), but without being too restrictive! Honestly, you might just want to stock up on a few colors now. A simple tumbler that has all the essential characteristics of its wildly popular but more expensive counterpart — the Stanley cup. It's well insulated, keeping drinks cold for hours, and has a leak-resistant lid, a straw, and a sturdy handle. Plus, it comes in a ton of aesthetic colors for you to choose from.

Utah judge's sentence on child pornography offender sparks controversy, the court's response
Report child sexual assault material to law enforcement by contacting the ICAC Tip Line at (801) 281-1211 or your local law enforcement agency. SALT LAKE CITY, Utah () — A judge's decision on the sentencing of a 22-year-old man convicted of sexual exploitation of a minor has stirred up discussion among lawmakers that resulted in a statement from the Utah State Courts. Adian Hoffman, 22, from Maine, was found guilty of two second-degree felony charges of sexual exploitation of a minor. He was initially charged with 10 first-degree felony counts of aggravated sexual exploitation of a minor. The 22-year-old was accused of possessing child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and distributing it while house-sitting for a relative in Moab. Officers found more than 300 images of CSAM on his devices, according to documents. Man arrested after neighbor allegedly finds sexual videos of minor on his GoPro Hoffman was sentenced to 1 to 15 years in prison for each charge, but that sentence was suspended for probation. He received 112 days in jail and 48 months of probation on May 20, 2025, by Seventh District Judge Don M. Torgerson. There were also conditions ordered on his parole, such as no internet access without approval from the Department of Adult Probation and Parole (AP&P), maintaining a full-time job, and completing a cognitive-behavioral course, among other conditions. On May 24, 2025, Mike Schultz-R, Speaker of the Utah House of Representatives, and about the sentencing of Hoffman. He even called for Judge Torgerson to resign. This is deeply troubling and indicative of a broader pattern within the judiciary. Such decisions not only fail to deliver justice for victims — in this case, children — but also erode public confidence in the legal system. Judge Torgerson's comments and decision are a failure of justice, and cannot be ignored. He must resign. He should not be able to continue sitting on the bench and serving the people of this great state. Speaker Mike Schultz on Instagram Several days after Schultz's post, the Utah Republican Party also responded to the sentencing decision made on May 20. On May 27, 2025, the Utah GOP shared a screenshot of Schultz's , 'Speaker Schultz is exactly right. Justice must protect children, and that requires holding those who harm them fully accountable. Judge Torgerson's decision is a clear miscarriage of justice. He should resign.' Sex offender arrested for attempting to meet child in Lehi, documents say In a statement by the Utah State Courts on May 28, they clarified that quotes from the sentencing 'omitted several relevant and important facts' and were 'without context and should not be the sole basis for any conclusion.' The State expressly agreed in its written plea agreement that the Defendant would receive probation, rather than a prison sentence. Additionally, the sentence imposed by Judge Torgerson was squarely aligned with the 2025 Adult Sentencing, Release, & Supervision Guidelines promulgated by the Utah Sentencing Commission and unanimously approved by the Utah Legislature during the 2025 General Session. Adult Probation and Parole's probation recommendation was also aligned with the Adult Sentencing, Release, & Supervision Guidelines Part of the Utah State Courts' statement on Hoffman's sentencing A link to the full sentencing video was provided for the public. Those who are interested can watch Hoffman's sentencing in full on the . 'The Judiciary is committed to transparency and encourages anyone who has questions about the sentence to listen to the entire audio recording of the sentencing hearing,' the Utah State Courts concluded in their statement. Man arrested for allegedly using cryptocurrency to purchase child sex abuse material, first arrest of its kind in Utah This section will contain quotes and a full explanation of everything that happened during the sentencing hearing. As aforementioned, those who are interested can view the full sentencing on the . Two evidence files that were sent from Kik — the app where Hoffman distributed CSAM — to law enforcement were shown to Judge Torgerson at the request of the prosecution. This defense said they would leave it to the court's discretion and would not block the viewing of the files. Judge Torgerson reviewed the files and stated that they depicted 'obvious prepubescent children engaging in sexual activity.' He asked the Grand County Attorney, Stephen J. Stocks, to give his sentencing recommendation. 'This is where this whole case starts off, we look at the [pre-sentence investigation] and there is a substantial amount of images, a hundred images, and although the defendant didn't plead to all of those, that was what was found,' Stocks stated. Man charged with alleged sexual abuse of human trafficking victim in Duchesne County Stocks told the judge that Hoffman downplayed his involvement in downloading and distributing the CSAM. Hoffman allegedly claimed to be ill and that his sickness led to his developing a CSAM addiction. According to Stocks, among the images were children from the ages of 3 to 15, and he described them as 'horrendous.' The state requested prison, and Stocks stated that jail time would not be sufficient. He said that although Hoffman was seeking treatment now, his desire and intention created a demand for more CSAM to be made. 'I think the light amount of jail doesn't really take into consideration the severity of this case. I think there are aggravating factors, such as the distribution. Now, I know he's engaged in treatment… but this type of behavior and this type of charge demands, in the interest of justice for the children, that he be incarcerated in the Utah State Prison,' Stocks concluded. Tara Isaacson, the defense attorney for Hoffman, then provided her recommendation. She started by stating that Hoffman is only 22 years old, and was 20 when he committed the offense. Isaacson said that those who are under 21 when committing these types of offenses usually receive a lighter sentence due to their age. Hoffman completed a psychosexual evaluation and has been involved in 'intense' sex offender therapy while the case was being processed, according to Isaacson. She also stated that since his release, he has been engaged in the community, found a job, and entered an age-appropriate relationship, all things that she claims have prevented him from reoffending. Red Rock Canyon School faces lawsuit over employee's alleged sexual misconduct 'This is not a family, or a defendant, who has downplayed or minimized the seriousness of this. We recognize that these images are terrible, and that this pornography is terrible and these images are awful, but this is someone who has absolutely not attempted to minimize… in every single category, he was in the low range, I rarely ever see that,' Isaacson told the court. Isaacson stated that Hoffman acknowledged what he did was wrong during therapy and did not try to 'minimize' the crime that he had committed. She stated that Hoffman would not be receiving a light sentence as he was working hard to turn his life around after being jailed at age 20. 'I think this is a situation where Aidan has demonstrated, over the last months he's been out, that he can follow the rules, he can comply, he's engaged and motivated in treatment and he's not given up. Instead, he's really kicked into overdrive to try to be productive and to contribute to society,' Isaacson said. In AP&P's review of the sentencing recommendation from the defense, Isaacson said they did not find the aggravating circumstances mentioned by the prosecution and recommended the jail sentence. She asked for an appropriate jail sentence for Hoffman's actions based on this recommendation. McDonald's employee charged for alleged sexual relationship with 16-year-old coworker Hoffman then addressed Judge Torgerson to share his statement before sentencing. 'Since I was released, I've been engaged in intensive treatment. In that treatment, I've worked on being accountable for what I've done, and also I've learned about the abuse perpetuated through the viewing and sharing of child pornography and just how awful that abuse is,' Hoffman stated. He shared that he felt guilty about the images and videos he viewed and regretted the impact it had on those child victims. Hoffman said that he was working hard to build a new life in Utah and completing therapy while complying with all restrictions of probation. He intends to start college in the fall if AP&P allows. 'I'm grateful, to some extent, that law enforcement intervened, because I needed help for something real. And it's something that's not — it's not something you can talk about with people, you can't bring it up to your parents, you can't find help normally in society, and unfortunately, I had to confront this problem in the worst way possible,' Hoffman said. Hoffman concluded by saying there was no justification for what he did, but he was committed to being better, and he was willing to do 'whatever the court sees fit.' 'I've done defense work, I've seen worse. That's not to minimize at all, Mr. Hoffman, what has happened here. You didn't perpetrate those two videos that I saw… what you did was pour all that gasoline on all those fires, because by viewing and sharing those images, you were stoking a problem that just seems to grow,' Judge Torgerson stated. U.S. Army Sgt. charged with 30 felonies for alleged online sexual relationship with 15-year-old Judge Torgerson stated that it was a large problem in Utah, and that he's seen it among young adults with access to social media and phones, and that he's also seen it in older adults who don't have that same access. 'Mr. Stocks' position on this, I think, is well-founded, to say that there's really zero tolerance from his perspective as the county attorney for this kind of behavior. The reality is a little different, and I think the [pre-sentence investigation] takes that into consideration in its recommendation,' Judge Torgerson continued. He clarified that the pre-sentence investigation's recommendation is created through reviewing similar cases and comparing how those sentencings were handled. 'I can't send everybody to prison who views child pornography. There aren't enough prisons. There aren't enough prisons for people who are severe, extreme viewers of child pornography, like you,' he said. 'I think it's like alcoholism, and you may not, but the compulsion to view child pornography, scientists will say, may or may not be an addiction.' Judge Torgerson stated that he didn't believe Hoffman's addiction began with CSAM, but rather adult pornography, and that Hoffman had escalated that addiction. He said that Hoffman was not yet a 75-year-old 'Mormon bishop' who is perpetrating on children and grandchildren, and hopes that he will never become that. Utah National Guardsman arrested on suspicion of child sex abuse The judge told Hoffman that he was young, he had too much time on his hands, and that he had shown an improvement from who he was when he was 20. Judge Torgerson stated that this was going to be a life-long process, and Hoffman needed to prevent this compulsion and addiction from returning. 'Children get raped because of men like you, who encourage that kind of perpetrating,' he stated. 'I truly do hope what your therapist says is true about you and the work that you've done.' Judge Torgerson followed AP&P's recommendation and sentenced him to 1 to 15 years in prison, the standard sentence for that felony charge. He then suspended the sentences and placed Hoffman on probation, and gave him credit for time served in jail. 'Does that mean I'm going easy on you here? I don't know. I don't want you to engage in this kind of activity, obviously. You don't want to, I trust. Your parents don't want you to do that… if you violate the terms of your probation, I won't hesitate to send you to prison,' Judge Torgerson stated. He concluded by reminding Hoffman that this was an opportunity to correct his behaviors and make a difference, but the right to that opportunity could be taken away. Judge Torgerson said he would not hesitate to give the maximum sentence if he saw Hoffman in his courtroom again.

Loch Ness monster hunters make 'significant step' in solving Scots mystery
Hundreds of monster hunters geared up to take part in an annual search for the elusive Loch Ness Monster. The Loch Ness Centre hosted a search which saw enthusiasts scouring the 23-mile-long loch for unusual activity from May 22 to 25. For the first time, Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs), controlled by Little Loch Broom Marine Life, were used throughout The Quest Weekend in an attempt to capture the first underwater image of the famous beast. Baited camera traps fitted with GoPro cameras and lights were also placed in strategic locations to capture any signs of wildlife. The Loch Ness Centre The camera traps captured footage of pike and salmon. Although the search for the historic Scots monster was unsuccessful, organisers said the camera traps captured 'incredible footage' of pike and salmon believed to be the first time they have been seen on camera in the loch. Expert hunters believe the footage could be 'evidence of food to sustain a giant monster and a significant step' in solving the mystery. Organisers also said ROVs unearthed a 'remarkable' relic from one of Loch Ness's most renowned monster hunters, Dr Robert Rines. Cabling from Dr Rines' original 1970s strobe light equipment, used in his groundbreaking underwater expeditions to capture images of Nessie, was found resting deep in the loch's sediment The Loch Ness Centre Loch Ness Centre Quest Weekend 2025. Alongside the cabling, the ROV also uncovered the ruins of the old Temple Pier, from where historic British racer John Cobb set off in his attempt to break the world water speed record, an endeavour that cost him his life. Other volunteers explored the depths of Loch Ness with Deepscan captain Alistair Matheson, the skipper for the Loch Ness Project. Monster hunters joined Alistair and Alan McKenna for an extended excursion, utilising their brand-new hydrophone to listen for mysterious sounds echoing from the deep within Loch Ness. Monster hunters who were unable to attend the search still got involved in the hunt for the truth through the Visit Inverness Loch Ness website. Several cameras were set up across the loch for people around the globe to watch out for the loch's most famous inhabitant, as well as other local wildlife, 365 days a year. Nagina Ishaq, general manager of The Loch Ness Centre, said the excitement and buzz at the event proved the Loch Ness mystery is very much alive. 'We all want the same thing, to discover the secrets that lie beneath the loch, and we've been delighted to welcome so many people into The Loch Ness Centre to enjoy the exhibition and Deepscan boat trips across the weekend,' they said. 'The footage we have captured using the ROVs has just made us more determined than ever to continue our search for the truth.'

AppLovin, Impinj, Teradyne, GoPro, and Five Below Shares Are Soaring, What You Need To Know
A number of stocks jumped in the afternoon session after the major indices rebounded (Nasdaq +2.0%, S&P 500 +1.5%) as President Trump postponed the planned 50% tariff on European Union imports, shifting the start date to July 9, 2025. Companies with substantial business ties to Europe likely had some relief as the delay reduced near-term cost pressures and preserved cross-border demand. The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks.

GoPro's shares are extremely volatile and have had 52 moves greater than 5% over the last year. But moves this big are rare even for GoPro and indicate this news significantly impacted the market's perception of the business. The biggest move we wrote about over the last year was 4 months ago when the stock dropped 21.7% on the news that the company reported disappointing fourth-quarter 2024 results, with revenue plunging 32% y/y. The company also missed expectations on both next-quarter revenue and EPS guidance. The downturn was fueled by a 16% drop in camera sell-through as the company recorded a 34% slump in retail channel sales, which made up 74% of total revenue. Despite the sales decline, gross margin ticked up slightly, thanks to lower product costs. However, this wasn't enough to offset the volume decline, leading to a non-GAAP net loss, compared to modest profits a year ago. Looking ahead, GoPro aimed to slash operating expenses by nearly 30% in 2025, while shifting its focus to higher-priced cameras to stabilize margins. Still, with ongoing revenue pressures, the company's outlook remains uncertain. GoPro is down 42.4% since the beginning of the year, and at $0.63 per share, it is trading 64% below its 52-week high of $1.76 from July 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of GoPro's shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $131.14. Here at StockStory, we certainly understand the potential of thematic investing. Diverse winners from Microsoft (MSFT) to Alphabet (GOOG), Coca-Cola (KO) to Monster Beverage (MNST) could all have been identified as promising growth stories with a megatrend driving the growth. So, in that spirit, we've identified a relatively under-the-radar profitable growth stock benefiting from the rise of AI, available to you FREE via this link.
