Amazon Prime Day 2025 electronics deals: Top discounts on Apple, Shark and more
Sony is a brand that needs no introduction. And while it may no longer be the striding all-consumer-tech colossus it once was back when it lent its hand to phones, laptops and TVs, when it comes to personal audio, the big S is still winning over the fans. Especially now that said person's audio is more affordable than ever.
In this instance, I speak of the WH-CH720N over-ears that became available much earlier this year. Priced at just under the ton mark on release, savvy ear-users can now pick these up for just £64. No, your eyes do not deceive you.
So, what do you get for this next-to-nothing, cost-of-living-pleasing price? For a start, a relatively minimalist-looking pair of ear-huggers with all the requisite buttons required to play and pause, skip back and forth, adjust volume and answer calls placed neatly on the right earcup. Which sees to the basics. Then you have Bluetooth 5.2 offering both a reliable connection and multi-point to keep your essential gadgets paired up. Effective ANC keeps unwanted racket at bay, while an Ambient option lets you allow some sound in on the off-chance you need to keep an ear out.
Then there's the sound. Featuring a more diminutive set of 30mm drivers, what they may lack in scale is more than made up for by the inclusion of 360 Reality Audio which works to surround you in a nicely balanced bubble of audio that lends your music a welcome feel of space, helping to fend-off the annoying but inevitable issue of listening fatigue.
Light too, at just 192g, they may not be the most comfortable cans I've had clamped to my noggin during the course of these reviews, but for £64, they're more than acceptable.
With the Sony Headphones Connect app available to make minor adjustments to set-up, quality, relatively expense-free ANC is now available for the masses.

: Bluetooth 5.2, 3.5mm Drivers : 30mm

Parents find simple trick to keep kids safe on family days out with this on-sale gadget
Parents are always looking for a way to ensure their kids are safe when on family trips, in crowded places, or in the countryside, and this simple gadget may be just the ticket Parents on social media have been discussing their tips or tricks for family days out, whether you're heading to a busy fairground or a hike in the woods, knowing where your kids are and that they are safe is of the utmost importance for ensuring your family day out is successful and enjoyable for everyone. One mum took to TikTok to share her simple solution to knowing where her kids were at all times and ensuring their safety no matter where they were or what they were doing. It can be achieved using one simple gadget, which you can currently buy on Amazon for half its usual price. Apple's AirTags became all the rage for their convenience and the security they offered users when it came to protecting their belongings. Commonly used for attaching to electronics, keys, and luggage when traveling, tracker tags actually have another beneficial use that can save a lot of stress and anxiety when you're out with your kids. And these Amazon alternatives offer the same assurance at a fraction of the price of name brands like Apple (£28 per Air Tag) or Samsung (£34 per tag). This 4-piece set of Air Tracker Tags on Amazon would normally sell for £59.99, but it is currently available for half that, at £29.99, while this limited-time deal lasts. These Bluetooth tags can seamlessly be connected to your smart device (though this particular model is only compatible with iOS devices), so you can track your tag from your phone or tablet with ease. If you're looking for an affordable alternative to pair with your Android devices, check out these Air Tags-Android Smart Tags that are on sale for £31.99 down from £49.99 for a pack of four. The finder and location tags are perfect for use in your wallet, luggage, backpack, suitcase, car, and more. Protect lost or stolen stuff and make day-to-day life easier without the stress of losing essential items. You can easily attach these Tukio air tag trackers to everyday things like keys, water bottles, or bags, ensuring you don't have to spend mornings searching before you leave the house, and promising to make them super easy to find if misplaced or lost. The smart tag can connect easily with your iPhone or iPad. Simply open the pre-installed "Find My" app, add the AirTag tracker to the "Items" tab, and start tracking. Then you can keep track of and find your items alongside friends and devices in the "Find My" app. Tukio's trackers allow real-time tracking of your items. When within 200 feet, the Bluetooth tracker emits an 80-100dB beep to help you find your things, or you can just ask Siri. For greater distances, leverage the power of the 'Find My' network, and hundreds of millions of Apple devices will help you locate the tracked location. What's even more impressive is that these tags boast up to one year of uninterrupted use, without the need to replace the battery. When the battery is low, the smart tracker tag will notify you to replace it. Plus, the unique cover design prevents children from opening the device and causing damage. With an IP67 rating, item finders withstand immersion in water up to 3 feet for 30 minutes, making them especially useful for outdoor activities. But how does this keep your child safe while out for the day? The TikTok user mentioned above told her followers she'd found a simple and effective way of using Bluetooth trackers like these to keep a real-time, exact account of where her child is, so that if anything were to go wrong, she'd be able to locate her young child in minutes. This user recommended placing the tracker inside your kids' shoes, whether underneath the insole or if the outer sole can be removed, to be able to track them wherever they may wander. Equally, you can place these trackers in pockets, though it isn't advisable to place them in things like coats or jumpers that could be removed at random.
