Mashable's shopping team has spent quite a bit of time with Ultimate Ears Bluetooth speakers and we're big fans. We love the Hyperboom and Epicboom, but the itty bitty Wonderboom is one of our absolute favorites. If you're in the market for a portable Bluetooth speaker, we highly recommend this tiny powerhouse — especially when it's on sale.

As of Feb. 10, the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4 is down to just $69.99 at Amazon. That's 30% off its list price of $99.99 and just 10 bucks shy of its best-ever price from Black Friday.

Our favorite sub-$100 Bluetooth speaker, the Wonderboom 4 fits in the palm of your hand but offers surprisingly balanced and powerful sound. As Shopping Reporter Bethany Allard noted in our roundup, "the sound profile is well-rounded and can get loud."

It can last up to 14 hours on a full charge, handles drops from up to five feet like a champ, and can be submerged in water for up to half an hour. We do wish it offered a companion app to customize the sound profile, but for a ultra-portable no-frills speaker, it's an excellent value.

If you're in the market for a new pair of expensive earbuds, Sony may have some good news for you.

A new leak published by Dealabs (courtesy of Android Authority) revealed some alleged details of Sony's upcoming XM6 earbuds, which are supposed to get the grand rollout this week. Following a retailer leak that provided the first images of the headphones, this new leak gives us an idea of what the specs and price will look like.

We'll start with the latter: These headphones will reportedly cost $329.99 in the United States. That's a lot of money, but the specs might help justify it.

For instance, the new QN3e processor is said to be three times faster than the previous WF-1000XM5 model, released almost three years ago. The speaker and amplifier have also gotten upgrades, while Sony has added two more adaptive microphones for a total of eight. On top of that, 360-degree audio with head tracking, better air flow, and more equalizer bands are also said to be part of the deal.

Sony has been on a little bit of a hot streak with headphones lately, as our reviewer Tim Werth really dug the XM6 over-ear headphones last year. Mashable reviewers have also been impressed by the newly launched Sony LinkBuds Clip open earbuds. Here's hoping the XM6 earbuds reach the same level of quality.

Unexpected car repairs are among the most common emergency expenses for American households. Since our vehicles are a necessary part of our everyday routine, the thought of being without one or having to fork over a substantial amount of money for repairs is anxiety-inducing.

First, the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA) regulations forced Apple and Google to make their platforms fairer. Now, it appears that the UK's Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) will be extracting similar changes from Apple and Google too.

The CMA designated Apple and Google with "strategic market status" or SMS in mobile platforms last year, saying that the companies had an "effective duopoly" over the market in the UK. Under this designation, the CMA is allowed to introduce measures to demand changes to the platforms to ensure "fair dealing, open choices or trust and transparency."

Now, the CMA says it has "secured commitments" from both Apple and Google regarding their app stores.

According to the CMA, Apple and Google have agreed to make sure their app review processes for Apple's App Store and the Google Play store do not discriminate against mobile applications that compete with their own apps.

The CMA's commitments that the two Big Tech companies have agreed to include "fair, objective, and transparent" review of apps submitted to the app stores, and fair app rankings that do not give the company's own apps an unfair advantage. Apple and Google have also agreed to not use the data it collects for an unfair advantage. In addition, Apple has agreed to consider providing app developers with "interoperable access to features and functionality within Apple’s mobile operating systems."

These commitments will come into effect in April, according to the CMA.

Most interestingly, however, for developers around the world will be the data Apple and Google said it will provide to the CMA, which the CMA will make public. This data includes the "proportion of apps submitted for review, approved, rejected and appealed" and the time taken for app review. Some app developers have complained about the long wait times for the app store review process over the years, so this data should be valuable to them. Apple and Google will also provide the CMA with the number of complaints received and what the outcome of those are, as well as interoperability requests received and the outcome of those requests.

“Following designation of Apple and Google’s mobile platforms in October last year, the CMA has moved swiftly to secure a package of commitments from Apple and Google that will boost the UK’s app economy, giving developers the opportunity and confidence they need to invest and innovate," CMA Chief Executive Sarah Cardell.

Apple and Google both welcomed the changes in statements provided to the BBC.

The first computers I used in my life had nothing but floppy drives. One for the operating system and one for the software you wanted to run. Even as hard drives and CD-ROM drives appeared on the scene, the humble floppy stuck around for most of that time until USB flash drives finally filled that need.

Let's face it: no one likes vacuuming their floors. If that's a task you're thoroughly fed up with and don't want to deal with any longer, you're in luck. You can outsource it to a robot vacuum. You don't have to spend an arm and a leg on doing so either, especially when this particular model is on sale for a great price at Amazon.

As of Feb. 10, get the Roborock Saros 10R robot vacuum for $1,099.99 at Amazon, down from its usual price of $1,599.99. That's $500 off and a discount of 31%.

This particular model boasts 22,000 Pa of suction with a zero tangling system, ultra-slm build, and a special arm to reach out and clean nooks and crannies. It can empty its own reservoir, and it specializes in both corner and edge cleaning, areas you might have difficulty reaching yourself with a normal vacuum. Plus, it can more than handle itself with its navigation system that helps it avoid obstacles while mapping out your home.

Mashable's Leah Stodart praised the vacuum for its ability to "never get lost" while claning as well as its quiet operation, livestream pet camera, and "impeccable" corner sweeping and mopping.

"[...] the Saros 10R is a wickedly well-rounded robot vacuum that would be a totally satisfactory upgrade in a lot of homes, especially ones with a lot of hard floors," Stodart wrote. "Its suction power and mopping work together in tandem to achieve results more reliable than what I've ever experienced, even if its work on low pile rugs hasn't been as exceptional as I'd expect for a premium vac."

If that sounds like your type of robot vacuum, get yours fast before the price goes back up to normal.

We all have plenty on our plates right now. On top of normal life, we're now required to watch several hours of 2026 Olympic streams everyday while questioning how one gets into luge as a sport.

Plus it comes with the reassurance of HEPA filtration, so you know once that dust gets sucked up, it won't end up back in the air.

Shark mentions this model is ideal for those with pets since the suction combined with brush roll is capable of tackling hair without getting tangled. Shark also says it'll rid your floors of dander and allergens like pollen come spring.

Not only does this model get up to 120 minutes of run time per charge, it uses Shark's Matrix Clean Navigation. While many robot vacuums take a once-over dirty areas, the Shark cleans in a matrix pattern, ensuring each area is spotless.

Take the chore of vacuuming off your to-do list for good, and hand off the task to the Shark AI Ultra robot vacuum. You'll only have to think about the robot once a month, so it's perfect for busy households. Thanks to today's deal at Amazon, the robot vacuum is on sale for a major 45% discount.

Did you catch the Dunkin' ad during the Big Game? Dunkin' reimagined Good Will Hunting as a sitcom, including cameos from the likes of Jennifer Aniston, Matt LeBlanc, Jason Alexander, Ted Danson, Alfonso Ribeiro, Jaleel White, and Jasmine Guy. It was a welcome hit of '90s nostalgia.

During the commercial, Dunkin' announced that it would be giving away 1.995 million free iced coffees of any size to customers who use the code GOODWILLDUNKIN in the Dunkin’ app. Simply download the Dunkin' app to your smartphone (it's free) and use the code at the checkout. It's that easy.

It's worth noting that this promo code is valid until the code limit is reached, so you might need to act fast to secure your free coffee. You are limited to a single redemption per person, but that feels fair. This isn't an unlimited free coffee hack.

Dunkin’ has also dropped a collection of authentic vintage and ’90s-inspired clothing that very much fits the vibe of the commercial. This exclusive drop features vintage windbreakers, denim jackets, workout sets, and much more. The entire collection is available to shop now but items are selling out fast.

I don't know about you, but I have Olympic fever. It's inspiring to watch the world's best athletes compete at the 2026 Winter Olympics in the Italian regions of Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo. As an American, I'm particularly glued to the competitions featuring Team USA, especially the medal rounds. I even found myself watching Olympic documentaries to get into the patriotic spirit.

It's no secret that Ryobi gets a lot of hate online. You've probably seen videos on social media poking fun at the bright lime-green tools, and asking for advice in a Reddit tool forum will quickly get responses about just how "bad" they are.

Eating fast food may not be the fanciest way to spend date night, but McDonald's is upping the ante for Valentine's Day.

In a first-of-its-kind luxury collab, McDonald's is teaming up with Paramount Caviar to offer customers McNugget Caviar kits for the most romantic weekend of the year. Each kit includes a one-ounce tin of Baerii Sturgeon caviar, a $25 McDonald's gift card (to buy plenty of McNuggets), creme fraiche, and a Mother of Pearl caviar spoon, according to a press release. And the best part is it's completely free.

Why McNugget Caviar?

While it might feel incredibly random to some folks (including me), the chicken nugget and caviar combo is actually a fine dining trend. Korean-inspired fried chicken restaurant COQODAQ served up a dish of nuggets topped with Petrossian caviar, creme fraiche, and chives at the U.S. Open last year in New York City. Despite the outlandish cost ($100 for chicken nuggets!), it was a hit. The combo has been an ironic luxury treat for years, though. Trendsetter Rihanna even posted about it back in December 2024.

"What makes this pairing so iconic? The crispy, golden goodness of our signature McNuggets and the salty, savory, black pearls of Paramount’s Baerii Sturgeon caviar make for a true match made in heaven for the special occasions in life," the fast food chain said in the announcement.

McDonald's McNugget Caviar kits will be available exclusively at McNuggetCaviar.com (not available in stores) starting Tuesday, Feb. 10 at 11 a.m. ET. Mark your calendars. The company has not said how many kits will be available, only that supplies are limited. So you'll want to act quickly.

As noted above, the kits are completely free of charge. Considering a single ounce of Paramount’s Baerii Sturgeon caviar typically costs $95, this is one helluva deal. Looks like fast food can be fancy after all.

The 2026 Sundance Film Festival has come to an end, but our excitement over the movies we saw there burns hot even in these frigid times! So, what are the best films of Sundance 2026?

Entertainment Editor Kristy Puchko watched a slew of movies through Sundance's online streaming platform. Then, she sat down on our Say More couch to share her five favorites.

5. Mum, I'm Alien Pregnant

This New Zealand comedy from the directing duo THUNDERLIPS (aka Sean Wallace and Jordan Mark Windsor) centers on a surly millennial underachiever (Hannah Lynch) whose hasty hook-up with an awkward neighbor (Arlo Green) leads to — well — getting alien pregnant. See, he's part alien, which explains why his junk is pretty otherworldly. But from this unintended pregnancy spirals a comedy about motherhood that's hilarious, subversive, pretty gross, and surprisingly heartwarming.*

If you're in need of a sign that a single act of solidarity can make a big difference, you'll relish the documentary Everybody to Kenmure Street. Documentarian Felipe Bustos Sierra looks back on at a spontaneous protest that arose in Glasgow, Scotland, in May of 2021. There, the UK Home Office conducted a raid that targeted two Muslim men, whose capture and possible deportation were stopped by the non-violent intervention of their neighbors. How did it go down? And what does Emma Thompson have to do with it? Watch the video above to find out.

Notably, Kenmure Street earned a special prize at Sundance: World Cinema Documentary Special Jury Award for Civil Resistance.

Sundance comedies got dark this year. A great example is writer/director NB Mager's Run Amok, which focuses on a group of high schoolers who try to process the trauma of a school shooting through song and dance. The story centers on nerdy harp enthusiast Meg (Alyssa Marvin), whose mother was killed in a school shooting ten years before — at the very high school she's now attending. Offered a chance to perform to create a group catharsis for the tragedy, Meg turns to a motley crew of theater kids to develop the perfect presentation. But as they bounce through acting exercises and problematic uses of pop songs, they get pushback from grown-ups on the appropriate way to process pain. A compelling and oddball coming-of-age comedy, Run Amok is a gem.

2. The Incomer

Winner of the NEXT Innovator Award, The Incomer is a curious tale of folklore, culture conflict, and burgeoning attraction. Written and directed by Louis Paxton, the comedy begins with a grown brother (Grant O’Rourke) and sister (Gayle Rankin), who've spent the past 30 years on a Scottish island alone. Then the "incomer" arrives. He (Domhnall Gleeson) is a timid office drone tasked with serving them an eviction notice and a ride back to mainland Scotland. Little can he predict the dramatic (and hilarious) response such a pronouncement will spark. Comic violence, awkward rituals, and animated stories come into play as these three find shaky common ground, and ultimately a perfectly offbeat happy ending.

1. Josephine

Among critics, Josephine is easily the most buzzed-about title out of Sundance. Written and directed by Beth de Araújo, this drama focuses on an 8-year-old girl named Josephine (Mason Reeves) who witnesses a sexual assault in a local park. From there, de Araújo explores how a child copes with such trauma through showing Josephine recreating what she saw through play, acting out at school, and imagining the rapist casually invading her home. Beyond exploring her experience through cinematography that frequently binds us to the child's visual perspective, the filmmaker also exposes how her parents (Gemma Chan and Channing Tatum) struggle to explain rape culture to their little girl. Not a tear-jerker but a nuanced family drama that's ripe in emotional intelligence and thought-provoking sequences, Josephine is a hard watch and a must-see.
