My old Aftershokz Aeropex broke. Fairly disappointing and just outside of the warranty period (well by around 9 months 
). They offered me a 20% discount code which brought them down to ~€160, but they're often reduced in sales and so even with 20% off i knew i'd see them again at a cheaper price.
So bought some cheap ones off Aliexpress. They arrived on Monday. On Tuesday i ordered the proper ones again which arrived yesterday. They were included in the Prime sale for €130 which i'm happy with. Considering how much i used the previous ones and in some horrific conditions then cost/use as pointed out by @AndyCr15 starts to become reasonable.
I'll still keep the cheap knockoffs. They're not terrible, but the controls on the unit aren't very good with only a single button and no volume control make them difficult to use whilst cycling.

Prime Day goodies and the boomerang that is a product that is now cheaper on PrimeDay that I bought a few weeks back; so returning the new one against the old receipt.
Been eyeing up quite a bit of stuff for the new house. Mainly around smart bulbs/sensors and the Reolink doorbell that's reduced well, but decided to hold off. Am sure it'll be a similar story for Black Friday and then avoids missing out on too much warranty.
Well it's here and first impressions are positive. The sound is rather lush and velvety yet full of detail.
AptX-HD is also supported.
Bought a 6 pack of Nivea shaving gel for £12, a 6 pack of shower gel for £4, 1kg of coffee beans for £8, a Firestick pro remote for £23. Just stuff I was going to buy anyway, reduced in price a little bit. Nothing ground breaking.
I was hovering over the 3-in-1 chargers for a bit because I'm wanting a travel solution for iPhone, Apple Watch & Air Pods, but decided not to bother. There wasn't much in the way of really inspiring deals, as there haven't been for the last 5 years or more.

First of all, absolute lol at your username
I have a 50inch Ambilight TV and I recently got one of those hue bulbs for 99p from the rainforest. Do I really need a bridge or can I connect it via Bluetooth?

Depends on the bulb model, some need a bridge but some are bluetooth enabled.

It depends how recent the TV is. Philips have dropped Ambilight+Hue feature from their latest ranges.
It's a 50in manufactured July 2023. (I checked) I do have ambilight+hue in my options screen.Got stitched up with the username. Pesky mods.

If you've got it in your menu, you've got lucky. Avoid software updates.

I bought a couple of packs of the govee ones for my kitchen and bathroom - very pleasantly surprised with them, they're far brighter than the ikea tradfri ones they replaced.
I did have a firmware/software update recently It says May 5th 2024. It added another option for the lights. Fine detail and Classic glow. I do still have ambilight+hue in the menu,along with Ambilight+Philips wireless home speakers. I just can't get the bulb to connect. It is a Bluetooth one. The TV searches for it but never sees it. I have the bulb directly above me on the ceiling. Here is the model if you wouldn't mind taking a look. On the box it says B22. 806 lumen@2700k. It says works with Alexa on the box. I'm normally good at solving these little issues, but I just can't work it out. Surely the TV should just see the bulb,they are literally meant for each other FFS. I must be doing something wrong. Also I've turned off auto updates lol.If you've got it in your menu, you've got lucky. Avoid software updates.
(Edit) It won't find the bulb using the Bluetooth in the TV,and if I go to configure it keeps asking for a bridge. ****** doing my head in. Cos the bridge is like £40 or something. I ain't paying that for a ******* bulb.
