Hulu Is Just $2 a Month With This Incredible Cyber Monday Deal

Stream Andor, The Bear, Only Murders in the Building and more in this holdover Black Friday deal.

Black Friday may be behind us, but with Cyber Monday right around the corner, Hulu is still offering a full year of its ad-supported plan for only $2 a month. Typically, that same subscription costs $8 a month, so you can save $72 over 12 months by taking advantage of this deal.

See at Hulu

This deal is open to new customers or returning Hulu subscribers who haven’t used the service within the past month. You can sign up for the limited-time offer before it expires on Nov. 28 at 11:59 p.m. PT (2:59 a.m. ET on Nov. 29) and stream the platform’s entire library.

A Hulu subscription gives you access to network TV shows including The Cleaning Lady, Abbott Elementary and The Patient. It also includes Hulu Originals such as Reasonable Doubt, The Handmaid’s Tale and Reservation Dogs. It offers nearly the full slate of FX originals, including The Bear. Need more? Anime fans can stream new episodes of series such as My Hero Academia and the exclusive Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War.

In October, Hulu’s price increased to $8 a month for its ad-based subscription and $15 for the ad-free version. Prices for the Disney Bundle — which includes Hulu — change Dec. 8 and will range from $10 to $20 per month. While this Black Friday discount saves you 75% on Hulu for one year, the offer can’t be combined with any free trials or the Disney Bundle.

Dyson’s OnTrac Headphones Are Certainly Unique, and They’re a Massive $200 Off This July 4th Weekend

Dyson’s OnTrac headphones are stylish and block up to 40 decibels of exterior sounds. They’re now just $300.

Summer is in full swing and that means there are major shopping events to celebrate the Fourth of July holiday that can help you save on essentials, tech and even high-end headphones. We’ve spotted these Dyson OnTrac headphones for just $300 at Amazon. This saves you a massive 40% and amounts to $200 off for some of the most unique noise-canceling headphones on the market.

Dyson’s OnTrac headphones are comfortable, stylish and include simple touch and voice controls. If you enjoy changing your aesthetic once in a while, you can switch the colors of your earphone caps and cushions for a custom look. Keep in mind that different caps and cushions are sold separately.

The OnTrac’s battery lasts up to 55 hours so you can get through the week without having to worry about frequent charging. They also include noise cancellation, transparency and an off mode so you can also let sound in during walks and other situations where you need to be a bit more alert.

To customize your sound EQ levels, simply download the MyDyson app and tinker around until your audio sounds just right. Sound tracking also protects you from harmful volume levels so you can protect your hearing health. Your purchase includes a USB-C charging cable and a protective case. If you want to be able to switch out your cap colors from the jump, you can find this bundle including different colors for just $390.

Why this deal matters

Dyson is no stranger to making quality products, and these headphones are no exception. They’re comfortable, have a long battery life and both touch and voice controls. Not only do they have three modes you can use for noise-canceling or transparency, you can also buy separate cap or cushion attachments to create custom looks. While still looking a bit cyberpunk, they’re not a weird headphone-facemask combo like the last headphone effort from the vacuum brand. At a massive $200 off, this is an excellent Fourth of July and early Prime Day deal.
