Content creation is a growing field, with more than 200 million people considered a professional content creator, according to 2022 research done by Linktree. With podcasts, TikTok, X and other social media platforms becoming a regular source for news and trends, many aspiring creators are picking up vlogging cameras and at-home studio equipment to share their passions with digital audiences.

While having a quality camera and laptop to cut and edit clips is essential, ensuring your audio is crisp and legible is just as important. To help you find budget-friendly equipment, Amazon is offering a Prime Day deal on a two-pack of popular lavalier microphones for just $19. That’s under $10 per mic, and the best deal we’re seeing online.

These wireless lav mics are being reduced on sale for 92% off for Prime Day. Each one comes designed with noise reduction technology to help capture your desired sound bytes and also uses a sponge windscreen to reduce noise from wind and plosives. You don’t have to worry about using an adapter or Bluetooth either — just plug in the included receiver into your device’s lightning port, turn on the portable mic and both devices will automatically pair.

Traditional mics are either attached to a stand or are handheld, which can create bulk and take up precious hand space if you’re reporting outside or doing interactive activities. Lav mics are mini microphones that typically can be clipped onto your clothes and capture audio just as well as a handheld version. With this two-pack, you can seamlessly capture audio of yourself and another person without having to share one mic — and as an added bonus, they’re also wireless.

More than 1,000 of the lav mics have already been purchased in the past month with reviewers gushing over the “crystal clear” sound quality while also noting it “blocks background noise pretty well” and can easily be hidden with clothes due to its small size.

Samsung’s Frame TV has become a luxurious piece of home decor, offering up entertainment and style to upgrade the regular television set (it even snagged a partnership with Disney). For those not looking to spend $1,000+ on a new TV though, TikTok has discovered the ultimate dupe that’s small-space friendly — and it’s currently on sale for 21% off during Prime Day 2024.

Amazon’s new Echo Show 15 is the latest in the brand’s Echo Show series, bringing a compact yet elegant way to watch TV and gather information at the touch of a button. TikTok has deemed the smart device to be the ultimate dupe, labelling it a “mini Frame TV” as it offers that framed photo aesthetic with all the benefits of a smart home device.

Similar to the Frame TV, TikTok users have show multiple ways to hang the Echo Show on the wall or use the included mount to rest it on your countertop. From there, the TikToker lists all the different advantages of the device, including its low price tag of $280.

Of course, at 15.6 inches, the Echo Show won’t completely replace a big-screen TV. And its HD screen won’t be the same as a 4K TV set. Still, for a mini Frame TV alternative, this is a solid bet.

What Is the Echo Show 15?

As the latest release for Echo Show devices, the Echo Show 15 looks to act as an in-home hub for all your entertainment and daily needs. Just like with other Echo Show devices, you can download streaming platforms including Paramount+, Hulu and Peacock, check your calendar, make a grocery list and even display artwork when the device isn’t in use.

Similar to the Frame TV, you can choose from a selection of frames to border the device and give it a more elegant touch.

Amazon’s Echo Show 15 has earned a 4.5 star rating overall, with more than 12,000 verified shoppers giving the device a full five-star review. All of the reviewers rave about the device’s features and how easy it is to setup and use. Case in point: in addition to acting as a smart home hub, you can watch TV or call your friends with just one device as well as create a to-do list to keep yourself productive.

One reviewer even raved over how “it doesn’t look off in our kitchen and can be mounted to the wall like a picture frame.” A great Frame TV alternative indeed.

Boston, Massachusetts, often dubbed America’s Walking City, comes alive during the summer with a vibrant array of outdoor music venues that cater to every musical taste and preference. Whether you’re into grand orchestral performances or intimate porch concerts, Boston offers a diverse range of experience set against its historic, picturesque backdrops. 

Fenway Concert Series

During the summertime, The Fenway Concert Series transforms the iconic baseball stadium into a lively music venue, where fans can enjoy performances with the famous Green Monster as a backdrop. After a successful 2023 Fenway Concert Series featuring the likes of Morgan Wallen and P!NK, Fenway Sports Group put together an impressive lineup of shows for fans to enjoy this summer. Artists like Noah Kahan, Foo Fighters, Green Day, and more will grace the Fenway stage this summer. 

Leader Bank Pavilion 

Leader Bank Pavilion is Boston’s premiere outdoor concert venue. Locally dubbed “The Pav” accommodates up to 5,000 guests and provides a unique concert experience with stunning views of the harbor. This summer, The Pavillion stage returns with a stellar lineup of diverse artists like Two Door Cinema Club, Young Miko, Black Pumas, Omar Apollo, and more.

Boston Public Library Courtyard

For those seeking a more intimate live music experience, the Boston Public Library Courtyard hosts classical music concerts and cultural performances that showcase Boston’s rich artistic heritage. This summer, fans can enjoy the Courtyard Series, running from June 5 through Friday August 30th with performances in the McKim Building Courtyard. 

Boston Public Library also offers a series of Friday lunchtime concerts throughout the summer featuring local musicians. The summer lineup was primarily curated via an application process overseen by staff with extensive musical backgrounds. Artists such as Patten Street Duo, LEX, and Ming Yang are slated to perform during the Friday lunchtime concert series. 

Porchfest

Porchfeset epitomizes Boston’s community spirit and love for music. Held in various neighborhoods across Massachusetts, Porchfest transforms residential streets into DIY stages where local musicians perform on porches, in yards, and even on sidewalks. This grassroots music festival celebrates creativity and individuality, offering a unique opportunity to discover emerging artists and connect with neighbors in a new way. 

Hatch Shell 

This outdoor amphitheater hosts the renowned Boston Pops Orchestra and a variety of other musical performances throughout the season. From classical symphonies to contemporary concerts, Hatch Shell provides a more intimate outdoor viewing experience along the Charles River Esplanade. This venue is best known for its annual Fourth of July celebration, but often hosts free concerts during the summer months. 

Whether you’re a visitor exploring Boston’s cultural offerings or a local looking to soak in the city’s summer vibes, these outdoor music experiences promise an unforgettable weekend filled with the magic of live music and community.

Less than nine months after Nikki Semin Han organized what the former SM Entertainment CEO called “the Avengers of the K-pop community joining forces to redefine the industry” in TITAN CONTENT, the newly-launched venture is officially beginning to roll out its first-ever artist.

Billboard can exclusively reveal the first details on TITAN CONTENT’s forthcoming girl group AtHeart, which is set to officially debut in the first half of 2025.

Beginning with the reveal of AtHeart’s first two members Sorin and Michi, the upcoming act will share all its members in the coming months as the future stars develop individual online presences and connect with fans while preparing for their K-pop debut via individual Instagram and TikTok accounts. TITAN CEO Katie Kang says, “The members will be sharing their daily lives and unique personalities through their social accounts, showcasing their journey to becoming AtHeart together. TITAN will reveal all members of AtHeart sequentially with special content this year.”

Both 17 years old, Sorin and Michi hail from South Korea and Hawaii, respectively, and begin the structure of what TITAN describes as a girl group that “will appeal to audiences around the world.”

Simultaneously revealing a new K-pop group’s members and launching their individual social media accounts is unconventional in the Korean-entertainment industry. Most new-artist startups are kept secret — even if pre-debut social media accounts are launched for a group, individual member accounts tend to launch years after establishing themselves on the scene. (For example, BLACKPINK’s four members launched their individual accounts less than two years after debuting, but it took more than eight years for the BTS guys.)

However, as CEO Kang adds, the strategy is a part of the group’s overall vision toward more connected K-pop idols.

“The name ‘AtHeart’ speaks to this group’s genuine nature and the connection and love they will build with their fans by empowering them to be their authentic selves,” Kang tells Billboard. “TITAN has been scouting and holding global auditions since the beginning of 2024 and we were captivated by the incredible talent we discovered. These members are so uniquely charming and they embody the next generation of K-pop. I know fans around the world will resonate with their genuine personalities and I am so excited for all the global fans to listen to their songs and watch their performance.”

“As the first K-pop company established in the U.S., TITAN will take an innovative and disruptive approach to creating, marketing, and promoting the content and artists we produce,” adds Han, Chairman at TITAN. “Working with powerhouse executives, creators, and producers from both East and West, we will break the mold by targeting global markets simultaneously from the start.”

Chief Business Officer Dom Rodriguez describes the Los Angeles–based company as “an artist-first and fan-first company,” touting its prodigious goals can be met with TITAN’s deeper involvement in the musical and personal processes of developing K-pop stars.

“We are relentless in our pursuit of innovation and creativity,” the CBO adds. “We prioritize the needs of our artists, the exceptional songwriters and producers who are integral to our success, and the dedicated fans who drive the K-pop phenomenon. Our hands-on A&R process is meticulously designed to elevate the next generation of K-pop artists, maintaining the highest standards of musical greatness. Collaborating with accomplished writers and top music producers worldwide, we’re committed to upholding excellence and shaping the future of music.”

“AtHeart marks the beginning of an exciting journey built upon the connection between K-pop idols, their dedicated fans, and music, with a commitment to upholding everything that makes K-pop unique and special,” says TITAN Chief Visual Officer Guiom Lee. “Backed by a team of industry experts who share a profound love and understanding of the genre, we will display innovation across all facets of AtHeart, pushing the limits in today’s ever-changing digital landscape. From top-tier visuals and fashion to captivating musical performances, we are excited to unveil AtHeart to a global audience.”

As previously reported, the team making up TITAN has experiences with K-pop artists across generations, including chart-topping names like BoA, Super Junior, Girls’ Generation, EXO, TWICE, Monsta X, ITZY, The Boyz, and more. Beyond artist development and management, TITAN plans to produce music festivals and revealed plans to combine “traditional K-pop training and artist development with Web3 and metaverse innovation.” The company also announced today that it will soon open an upcoming platform where “AtHeart will communicate with global fans with new and diverse content through a K-pop fandom platform that combines various innovative technologies such as Web3 and AI.”
