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

Last-Minute Father's Day Gift Idea: An Infomercial Icon for 27% Off
If you're still blanking on what to buy Pops for Father's Day, I come with deliverance. We've assembled the best last-minute Father's Day gifts, all of which either off super-fast shipping or require none at all. You won't be the black sheep of the family this year — or if you are, it's not because failed to get Dad a gift. But there are even more great gift ideas popping up and catching our eye with each passing second — that can still make it to your papa if you act quick. The Magic Bullet, aka the GOAT of small and idiot-proof (trust me) blenders, is currently 27 percent off, and if you order today, it will arrive before Sunday. I have a surprising amount of fondness for the informercial-famous Magic Bullet. I'm not just talking about the seamless pleasure of using the small appliance, which is revered for its ability to pulverize everything from onions to ice at the touch — actually, it's more like a bop — of the top of its blending chamber. Decades later, the Bullet is still my Proustian appliance of choice, reminding me of simpler days spent sitting on a shag carpet, slamming Ben & Jerry's chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, and watching its dancing blades steal the show from all the other As Seen on TV products. (Minus the Shake Weight, of course.) The first Bullet I blasted off was actually at the house of my then best friend's dad, who was very in-the-know, loading up on DVDs and treating his kids to the spoils of the Furby universe. All of this to say: I think every self-described 'hip and food-loving dad' has, at some point in his life, dreamed of firing up a Magic Bullet. Luckily, the Magic Bullet of today is more affordable than it was decades ago, and you don't have to order it with a rotary phone. This saucy little model, for example, is an 11-piece set that includes BPA-free plastic cups for blending, a 250-watt motor base, a to-go lid, and a 10-second recipe guide. You know, so your dad can finally make that iconic omelet from the infomercial. The Magic Bullet is 27% off on Amazon .
