When it comes to listening to music wirelessly, most people think of Bluetooth. It's built into just about every smartphone on the planet, and a huge number of tablets, desktops, and laptops have it too. But if you own Apple hardware, you need to know about a Bluetooth alternative that works over Wi-Fi, called Apple AirPlay 2.

AirPlay 2 is much more than just a simple pairing option: It lets you send both audio and video to a growing variety of devices, such as TVs, speakers, Apple TV boxes, Macs, and home theater receivers, all sans wires. If you own more than one AirPlay 2-compatible audio device, you can stream your music to just one of them, some of them, or all of them without losing synchronization. If that sounds cool, stay with us. We're going to point out all of the exciting features of AirPlay 2 and show you how to use it.

If you're looking for a way to drop your expensive cable subscription and start streaming your favorite sports 2teams instead, we've got the ideal solution for you. Sling is one of the best streaming options around for sports fans and right now, you can sign up for it for 50% off the first month meaning it costs just $20. The service offers access to dozens of channels with a choice between Orange or Blue packages giving you different channels but always providing you with 50 hours of DVR storage. This latest deal is the perfect opportunity to see if it's the service for you. Let's take a deeper look at why it's so highly recommended.

Why you should sign up for Sling
Sling gives you access to a bunch of different channels depending on what plan you choose. There's a choice of Orange or Blue with some overlap of channel options as well as some key differences. Orange offers up access to ABC and Disney-owned channels including ESPN, while Blue has NBC, Fox, and other sports channels including NFL Network and NFL Redzone. At its simplest, it's best to assume if you love football and soccer, you need to sign up for Blue but if you love other sports, Orange is probably the plan for you.
