Prime Day Deals: These Stylish Bluetooth Headphones Impressed Me With Their Crazy Battery Life -- And They've Never Been Cheaper
I might not be a true battle-tested headphone expert like CNET's own Dave Carnoy, but I still love headphones and I'm confident in what I like about them. My most recent pickup, the Marshall Major V on-ear bluetooth headphones, quickly became a pair that I adore
What is Marshall?
Marshall is a British audio hardware company that got its start back in the early '60s and became renowned for producing things like amps and speakers for live music performances. More recently, they've made a mark in the consumer audio space, producing home speakers with a distinctly "rock-and-roll" visual aesthetic -- think rough-patterned black leather materials, gold trim, and prominent physical buttons.

They've also brought their signature sound and style to headphones. Recently, I picked up the Major V, Marshall's latest iteration of its on-ear bluetooth model (thats V as in 5, not the letter), and I could hardly love them more. Marshall boasts that these headphones can last up to 100 hours on one charge, an almost ludicrous number that has largely held up as I've use them. The audio quality, while not patch on the heavier hitters in the Bluetooth space, is excellent for its price point, with strong bass and clean high notes. Vocals can sometimes come off a little shabby at first blush, but I find you get used to it real quick.
The connectivity performance has also really impressed me. For such a cheap set of headphones, the Major V easily maintains connections to at least two devices at a time and can switch between them almost seamlessly. That's not something I've found to be the case for a lot of the affordable Bluetooth headphones I've tried in the past. It's a strong contender overall in the budget Bluetooth headphones space.

Why does this deal matter?
I was able to scoop up the Marshall Major V for $100, the lowest its price has gone since they debuted last year. For that price, it's basically a steal. For the amount of blissful use I've gotten out of them so far -- listening to music, watching movies or getting through my audiobooks -- it's been more than worth the price of admission.
They usually retail for around $160, making their current price a 38% discount. While I was able to get this deal well in advance of Prime Day, there's no telling how long it'll stick around, so get a move on if you're interested in picking a pair up.

UK faced more producer inflation than thought, corrected official data shows
By Andy Bruce MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) -Britain suffered higher rates of industrial producer price inflation than previously assumed, according to new indicative figures from the Office for National Statistics that aim to correct problems with the data. The ONS is in the process of fixing problems with a wide range of economic data including unemployment figures as well as the producer prices figures. Last month an official review called for a major restructuring of the organisation's management. Producer price data measure how input costs and selling prices of manufacturing and services companies change. The figures are used in gross domestic product data to adjust for different rates of inflation in different industries, and in some trade data too. The ONS suspended the publication of producer price data in March after finding an error in how 'chain-linking' methods had been coded into its data production systems and said on Thursday that it expected to resume normal publication in October. Thursday's figures represent work so far in correcting the data and show big upward revisions for annual input and output inflation rates for factories in 2023. They were pushed higher by average of 1.0 and 1.1 percentage points, respectively. Whereas the uncorrected data suggested that Britain flirted with deflation for factory output prices in the second half of 2023, the new series show prices rising at an annual rate of around 1%. The most recent previously published annual rate of producer output price inflation, for January 2025, was revised up to 0.6% from 0.3% and the ONS estimated that April's reading on the corrected methodology was 0.5%. "Further corrections are mostly expected to be small in magnitude," the ONS said. Annual factory input and output inflation rates peaked in 2022 at slightly higher levels than previously thought when Britain was hit by an energy price shock caused by Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Revisions to producer input price inflation showed a similar pattern to those for output price inflation. The new data show annual input price inflation stood at 0.6% in January 2025, compared with a previous estimate of -0.1%. April 2025 figures showed a 1.1% annual fall in manufacturers' input costs. The new series for the services sector producer prices showed a more nuanced picture. The ONS had overestimated services output price inflation during 2022, but underestimated it through 2023 and some of 2024. (Graphics by Andy Bruce; editing by David Milliken)

Four people arrested after cyber attacks on M&S, Co-op and Harrods
Four young people have been arrested for their suspected involvement in the damaging cyber attacks against Marks & Spencer, the Co-op and Harrods. The National Crime Agency (NCA) said the individuals were arrested early on Thursday morning on suspicion of blackmail, money laundering, offences linked to the Computer Misuse Act and participating in the activities of an organised crime group. The arrests included a 17-year-old British man from the West Midlands, a 19-year-old Latvian man from the West Midlands, a 19-year-old British man from London and a 20-year-old British woman from Staffordshire. All four were arrested from their home addresses and remain in custody. The police also seized electronic devices from the properties. It comes after investigations by NCA into attacks against the three retailers, where hackers sought ransom payments after breaking into their IT systems. M&S was the first of the retailers to be targeted by the hackers, with the retailer shutting a raft of systems down in response on Easter Sunday. The company said the cyber attack has cost the firm around £300 million after it shut down its website for six weeks. Meanwhile, Co-op saw payments disrupted and shelves become bare from May because of the fallout of its cyber attack. Hackers also stole Co-op members' personal data, such as names and contact details. Harrods restricted internet access across its websites in May following attempts to gain unauthorised access to its systems. The arrests mark a breakthrough in police efforts to investigate the attacks, which had been linked to the Scattered Spider group of hackers. Paul Foster, head of the NCA's National Cyber Crime Unit, said: 'Since these attacks took place, specialist NCA cybercrime investigators have been working at pace and the investigation remains one of the agency's highest priorities. 'Today's arrests are a significant step in that investigation but our work continues, alongside partners in the UK and overseas, to ensure those responsible are identified and brought to justice. 'Hopefully this signals to future victims the importance of seeking support and engaging with law enforcement as part of the reporting process.' It came days after M&S chairman Archie Norman told MPs that two other 'large British companies' have been impacted by unreported cyber attacks in recent months, as he detailed the 'traumatic' attack on the historic retailer. An M&S spokeswoman said: 'We welcome this development and thank the NCA for its diligent work on this incident.'

Prime Day Deal: Nab One of Our Top Espresso Machines at a New Low Price While This Deal Lasts
Prime Day deals are a great chance to snap up all sorts of things while they're on sale. You can grab TVs, mattresses and more with vast amounts of money off. You can even get a great espresso machine, and today, one of our favorites is on sale. You can currently get the mighty Casabrews CM5418 Espresso Machine at a new low price of $119. That's a 15% discount on the normal price, but it's only for Amazon Prime members. That's not a huge discount, but this machine really doesn't need one to sell. In our review of this fantastic machine, CNET's Pamela Vachon gave this a 9/10, saying, "Though a small kitchen doesn't necessarily mean a small budget, for folks who crave the luxury of espresso but think they don't have the means or the space, the Casabrews CM5418 can really challenge those assumptions. Slimmer than an average toaster, cheaper than a month of Starbucks and capable of allowing nonbaristas to make barista-quality drinks, the Casabrews CM5418 might be the ideal model for folks on the fence." Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. This is a great deal on a great machine. We're not expecting it to last very long though, so if you do decide on this coffee machine, make sure you snap it up quickly. Why this deal matters Traditional espresso machines don't come cheap. Oftentimes, they cost hundreds of dollars and take up a good amount of counter space in your kitchen. But that's not the case with the Casabrew. This machine is slimmer than a blender and a coffee pot and is way less bulky than other popular kitchen appliances, such as an air fryer. Because of its versatility and the quality of espresso it makes, it's a great starter espresso machine for anyone trying to cut back on their weekly coffee shop spending.
