description: A new invention which lets you manage noise anytime and anywhere? We’re all ears.
encoded: If you'd asked us a few years ago if we’d heard of Loop Earplugs, we wouldn’t have known what you meant. After all, a device which lets you control the loudness of your surroundings seems too good to be true. However, Loop Earplugs have burst into our world the last couple of months, and we can’t seem to escape them — for good reason, too! Loop Earplugs take the edge off where it matters to you, whether that’s while you’re working in busy offices, studying in noisy cafés, taking care of the kids at home, or enjoying live music. Unlike foam earplugs, Loop Earplugs don’t get rid of noise completely, they simply reduce it. If you’re eager to find out more about these clever mechanisms — which boast over 26,000 five-star reviews, two-year warranty, and 100-day free returns — you’ve come to the right place. We’ve put together a comprehensive guide to answer all of your questions on Loop Earplugs, and there are few better teams to advice you on Loop Earplugs than the RadioTimes.com Technology team as we've tried and tested the earplugs for six months. In our six months of rigorous testing, we wore the Loop Earplugs Experience to concerts, DJ sets, and busy cafés, and we looked out for things such as comfort, security, value for money, and more. You can read more about our experience in our Loop Earplugs review.

description: Fancy a night out at the theatre? These are the West End shows, musicals and plays you need to see in London this year.
encoded: Whether you're a local or in town for a special occasion, a West End show is a brilliant way to spend an evening. From award-winning musicals to book adaptations, re-tellings of iconic stories to limited-time shows, London is jam-packed with entertainment. But how do you choose what to see in London? We've considered everything from budget, genres and cast to give you our pick of the best plays, musicals and theatre shows to see right now. With each recommendation, we've included the different pricing tiers for seating, but remember, ticket prices can change slightly depending on the ticketing site you purchase them from. Plus, for wildly popular shows, like Operation Mincemeat, tickets will start at a higher price point. We've got the likes of Hamilton for the history buffs, Back to the Future for a dose of nostalgia, Hercules will be a hit with the kids. There's also limited-time only shows, such as <a href="https://imp.i108736.net/c/1236178/783491/11264?_gl=1%2Abxvrhq%2A_up%2AMQ..%2A_gs%2AMQ..&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIgd2nv5KVkQMVQ5RQBh2G4yljEAAYASABEgIMmvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&subId1=radiotimes-1614712&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.londontheatredirect.com%2Fdance%2Fmatthew-bournes-the-red-shoes-tickets%3F_gl%3D1%2Abxvrhq%2A_up%2AMQ..%2A_gs%2AMQ..%26gclid%3DEAIaIQobChMIgd2nv5KVkQMVQ5RQBh2G4yljEAAYASABEgIMmvD_BwE%26gclsrc%3Daw.ds" rel="sponsored" target="_blank">The Red Shoes, not to mention an array of long-running classics such as Les Misérables and The Mousetrap.

description: Is your Sky TV package not working hard enough? It might be time to switch. Here are our favourite, and most affordable, alternatives to Sky.
encoded: Whatever you choose to watch on TV, and however you choose to watch it, it’s important that you have the right TV package for you. It’s worth thinking about what you want to watch on TV and what you can do without. Sky TV is the perfect example. Available in various bundles, such as Sky TV, Sky Stream, and Netflix bundle, there's so much to consider when you assemble your TV package. For one, you can customise it with additional channels. For sports fans, there's the option to add on Sky Sports for just £20 a month; Sky Kids which will set you back £8 a month for those of you with little ones, and Sky Cinema for movie buffs — an additional £10 a month, which will also get you a Paramount Plus subscription and two free Vue cinema tickets a month. All that, plus the original cost of £15 a month, you may notice the price in your basket going up quicker than you might like, so if you’re thinking about going elsewhere or changing providers, here are our best and cheaper alternatives to Sky.

We like to blast house and hip-hop fast beat tracks when we’re working out, listen to jazz and blues on melancholic walks, and enjoy classical, chilled out music when we’re working from home. No matter where you are or what you’re listening to, you want the audio quality to be great, the tracks to transition seamlessly, and your favourite artists readily available to listen to. Other bonuses, which we now don’t think we could live without, include ad-free listening. Imagine being the DJ at a friend's house party and suddenly a voice advertising university clearing positions or cleaning services blares out on the speakers. Mood kill to say the very least.

Perhaps you're a prolific notetaker, you regularly share your workings with teammates, you're liable to lose your notes, or maybe you'd like to buy a digital notebook which also acts as a tablet.

encoded: While going to the cinema used to be a cheap date, the prices nowadays are borderline daylight robbery. However, there’s something about sitting in a theatre and watching the latest film, with the snacks you’ve smuggled in, that we find really enjoyable. Although we love the ease of streaming services, there's nothing quite like heading for a magical night out at the cinema. So, with all of this in mind, we’ve been determined to find ways of making the cinema cheap again. From monthly passes and two-for-one discounts to savings through the likes of Vodafone and Three, these are the best ways to get cheap cinema tickets. Jump to: How to get cheap cinema tickets Best cheap cinema tickets and deals at a glance Best cheap cinema tickets and deals for November 2025 How to get cheap cinema tickets Before booking to go to the cinema, it's important to check if you can get discounted tickets because, more often than not, you'll be able to knock a few quid off your bill. If you have a phone or broadband contract, chances are they will offer a rewards scheme to get discounted tickets for concerts, theme parks, the cinema, and more. Vodafone, Three UK, O2, and Virgin Media are amongst the providers who offer cheap cinema tickets. It's important to shop around; buying from the cinema's website or on the door won't be the best way to bag cheap tickets. Sites like Fever and Tastecard are brilliant for discounted cinema tickets, and if you're looking to turn a cinema trip into something a bit more special, Buyagift, Virgin Experience Days and Red Letter Days have plenty of great experiences. Unfortunately, unlike with things such as train tickets, buying cinema tickets in advance won't lower the price. Plus, most cinemas release tickets only a week in advance anyway. But do not fear our cinema-loving readers, we've got plenty of ways to help you claim cheap cinema tickets.

description: Here's our complete guide to bagging cheap theatre tickets for the UK's top shows, including ones in London's West End, for summer 2025 and beyond.
encoded: Savings on top shows can be hard to come by, but if you're keen to find theatre tickets for less, you've come to the right place. First, we'll start with some advice. While this guide offers the best sites and methods for saving on theatre tickets, plus some great deals, there's also an element of luck and timing involved. Almost every show has a limited run in its given theatre, and if you've got a particular show or genre in mind, your chances of getting cheap tickets will be impacted by how in-demand those tickets are and how much of the show's run remains. There are, of course, some shows which have extremely long runs — we're looking at you, The Mousetrap... A top tip is to do your ticket shopping last-minute. Sometimes, if a show hasn't sold enough and there are lots of seats remaining, prices will plummet for last-minute buyers. Even sold-out shows may have tickets returned on the day as people realise they can no longer make it, so it's always worth checking with the box office or online. If you're looking for London shows and can trot along in person, it's worth checking out some of the booths in Leicester Square, which often offer discounted tickets. Finally, it's often cheaper to find theatre tickets outside of the capital. While some of the UK's most renowned shows are put on in the West End and around London, the UK has a thriving theatre scene and there are fantastic shows to be found wherever you're based, as well as musicals on tour. Now, let's help you find them. Plus, for the latest casting news, here's who's been cast in The Importance of Being Earnest and Paddington the Musical cast. Plus, cheap London Aquarium tickets.

From darts to horse racing, NFL to cricket, and the F1 season, there's a whole host of live events to get stuck into – and now you can watch all of this without breaking the bank. It used to be that Sky Sports packages were very much for subscribers only, and would-be viewers were forced to take on long-term contracts if they wanted the full Sky Sports experience. Now, thanks to the growing competition in the TV and streaming market, there are more options open to those who want Sky Sports. For example, NOW (formerly NOW TV) offers viewers the option to grab short-term passes, or you can grab sport-specific packages from Sky itself. In short, it's so much more flexible now if you want to watch your favourite team or athlete.

It's fair to say the ticketing giant has had its ups and downs in recent years, but that doesn't stop us practically kissing the screen when we get the notification that says we’re next in the queue to see our favourite artist. On the flipside, we all know that gut-punch feeling when we're 28,000th in the queue and can see any chance of affordable tickets slipping through our fingers. Ticketmaster has competitive, or as it's now known, dynamic pricing, which means the more in-demand an artist is, the more expensive the tickets will be. Many artists like Iron Maiden have rejected the pricing system, while others have introduced a registration system for their sales. For stars such as Olivia Rodrigo, Taylor Swift, Oasis, Beyoncé and Pink, fans had the opportunity to register for tickets in a ballot. They would then be given a code to access the general sale, giving them a much better chance of securing those all-important seats instead of pesky bots or re-sellers. Here at RadioTimes.com, we're on hand to help you navigate the trying Ticketmaster world.

encoded: Pitbull is returning to the UK with his I'm Back tour, which will visit the likes of Belfast, Cardiff and Glasgow next summer. Plus, Mr Worldwide has also found time to perform at American Express Presents BST Hyde Park in July, too. With tickets on sale now — and with the memories of February's ticket scramble still in our minds — here's how to secure them today. At the start of the year, Pitbull headlined London's O2 Arena, and the day after the concert, search for 'Pitbull tickets' shot up a huge 455% on Google Trends. Due to the phenomenal demand, the Fireball singer added three new UK dates at London's O2 and Manchester's Co-op Live arenas, plus one new Ireland date at Dublin's 3Arena. With a string of Grammy and Billboard awards under his belt, and with achievements such as more than 24 million studio albums and over 100 million singles sold worldwide, we can certainly see why Pitbull tickets were so popular. Now, the Timber singer is back for 2026 with a run of summertime shows and festivals, including BST Hyde Park in London with special guest Kesha.

encoded: From Apple AirTags to the iPhone 16e and AirPods to MacBooks, there are plenty of discounts on Apple products this October Amazon Prime Day, and we've had a look at the ones which we believe are worth your money. Amazon's Big Deal Days kicked off yesterday (Tuesday 7th October) and it ends at midnight tonight (Wednesday 8th October), and we've seen some fantastic offers so far, such as £92.99 off the Meta Quest 3S, £110 off the Kindle Scribe and £25 off the PS5 Pro. Now, we're turning our attention to Apple products. As you'll know, Apple rarely discounts its own products, but that doesn't mean other UK retailers follow suit. We were thrilled to see the Apple iPhone 16e discounted in the October Prime Day sales as we recommended this smartphone as the ultimate iPhone to purchase if you weren't fussed about the new iPhone 17's release back in September. Plus, there's discounts on big ticket items such as the MacBook Air and Apple iPad. Read why we recommended the iPhone 16e in our 'Why now is the best time to buy an Apple iPhone in the UK' guide.

Save £105 on the Apple iPhone 16e What's the deal: This Prime Day, you can purchase the Apple iPhone 16e for £494 instead of its RRP of £599, saving you £105. Why we chose it: We think the Apple iPhone 16e is fantastic value for money at its RRP, never mind with £105 off! The Apple iPhone 16e comes with a two-in-one camera system, most notably, the same 48MP Fusion camera which can be found on the flagship Apple iPhone 16, and it comes with some great AI feat…
