By Drake Hawkins Updated August 6, 2020

The smart home industry is taking off but, unfortunately, not every appliance in the market today can be connected to a network. A simple workaround for this technological hurdle is smart plugs. This brilliant innovation can automate older appliances without using mechanical timers. If you are looking to improve your smart home game, check the

The shiny golden cones of Klipsch's entire loudspeaker lineup are instantly recognizable and add a unique glint of opulence to the masses of matte black AV components out there. And given the 70-plus years that the American audio company has been around, their stuff just so happens to sound pretty fantastic, too. So, for Amazon Prime Day, we present exhibits A and B: the small but powerful Klipsch R-41PM powered bookshelf speakers and the thumping 400-watt Klipsch R-120SW subwoofer, both of which are hugely discounted (40% and 52% off, respectively) and ripe for the taking.

Powerbeats Pro earbuds are $140 for Prime Day — with a catch

Various colors of the Beats Powerbeats Pro wireless earbuds.

The Beats Powerbeats Pro, wireless earbuds that are designed to keep up with even the most intense of workouts, are available from Amazon with a 44% discount for Prime Day. From their original price of $250, you'll only have to pay $140 following a $110 discount -- but with the catch that you'll have to buy the Navy color. The other options, Black and Ivory, are slightly more expensive but still affordable at $150. You're going to have to proceed with the purchase as soon as possible though, because with the shopping event nearing its end, Prime Day deals like this one are probably on their way out as well.

Why you should buy the Beats Powerbeats Pro wireless earbuds
The Beats Powerbeats Pro wireless earbuds are designed to stay in your ears while you go through your daily exercise routines with their adjustable secure-fit earhooks. Additionally, they come with an IPX4 rating for water and sweat resistance, so whether it suddenly rains while you're training outdoors or you're sweating profusely during the hardest part of your program, you won't have to worry that the Beats Powerbeats Pro will get damaged. The wireless earbuds can last up to 9 hours on a single charge, and a total of more than 24 hours with their charging case.

Time is running out to get this 50-inch 4K TV for $200 at Amazon

There aren't many hours left to check out the Prime Day deals but there's still enough time to buy one of the cheapest Prime Day TV deals we've seen throughout the sales event. That deal is being able to buy a Pioneer 50-inch 4K TV for just $160, saving you a hefty 50% or $160 off the regular price of $320. It's not often we see a TV as cheap as this, especially when it's 4K and a good size for most living rooms. If you're in need of a cheap TV, this is a great option to pursue. However, you really don't have long to buy it as Prime Day ends today. We're talking mere hours to go. You've got time to check out what we know about the TV but from there, make a purchase quickly if it's the one for you. You'll hate it if you miss out on a TV at 50% off.

Why you should buy the Pioneer 50-inch 4K TV
Pioneer may not be one of the best TV brands around but it's well-established and not exactly a no-name choice. No one is expecting one of the best TVs when they're paying $150 but this one covers all the basics and a little more too. For instance, besides its 4K resolution, it also has Dolby Vision support so you get sharper contrast and better picture quality than ones that don't support it. It's those kind of things that soon add up.
