How to cancel your ESPN+ subscription

By

Disney has recently confirmed a price increase for ESPN+ by a dollar a month beginning in August, bringing it up to $6.99 (and from $59.99 to $69.99 for the yearly subscription). If you were already hesitant about paying for ESPN+ (especially in off seasons) or you’d like to try a different sports app, you may be wondering how to cancel the service. Here’s how to get it done fast, with tips on canceling through Google Play, Apple, or Roku as needed.

Note: ESPN+ does not offer refunds or credits for partially used billing periods. Your current month’s fees are already gone for good — but if you want to save money next month, it’s important to act now.

Step 5: Select Finish and ESPN+ will be canceled. You will receive an email confirming that the cancellation worked.

Note that ESPN+ will generally remember your login information even after your cancellation. This will allow you to reactivate an ESPN+ subscription in the future. That may be an attractive option if you are only interested in signing up for a specific season, so keep your login information around for next time.

Disney is also encouraging bundling multiple streaming services by keeping its ESPN+ bundle price the same if you also package in Hulu and Disney+. That’s a viable option if you want to combine services or are interested in adding a new service while keeping your old ESPN pricing. We have a guide on what you should know about this particular bundle before you buy.

If you already have ESPN+ via the bundle and want to opt-out even though the price is the same, you will have to log into Disney+ and unsubscribe from your bundle entirely, wait until the latest period ends, and subscribe to services individually.

The 11 best noise-canceling headphones for 2024
Bose QuietComfort Ultra Headphones: Earcup/logo close-up.

Noise-canceling headphones are a wonder of the modern world. No, seriously, the tech that makes them work is borderline magical, bringing much-needed quiet to our everyday bus and plane rides, study and work sessions, and movie, music, and podcast sessions. The best noise-canceling headphones have a great mix of features, including that all-important ANC and transparency mode for letting in some outside sounds. Comfort, battery life, and, of course, price are other important factors.

While active noise cancellation has been around for a while now and is almost standard in headphones from over-ear models (our focus here) to earbuds, the feature is better in some types of devices than in others. Whatever your listening needs may be, though, we've got you covered.

How to buy over-the-counter hearing aids
Woman wearing Sony CRE-C10 OTC hearing aids.

Maybe you spent a few too many nights at ear-bleeding rock concerts in your younger days, ignoring your parents who begged you to wear some earplugs. Or maybe you've worked in a noisy environment for years and didn't take care to wear ear protection. Or maybe you're just getting older and having trouble hearing like you used to. You're not alone. According to the National Council on Aging, roughly 25% of Americans between 65 and 74 have hearing loss that impacts their daily life, and the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders says that 15% of those 18 and older have some issues hearing properly.

Until October 2022, the only recourse for anyone with hearing loss of any kind was to see an audiologist or doctor for an examination to determine if prescription hearing aids were necessary. Luckily, things changed that October when the FDA opened things up, making it possible for those with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss to purchase over-the-counter hearing aids without a prescription or examination.

Your next noise-canceling earbuds may use Navy sonar tech
Two xMEMS Cypress drivers seen sitting on a U.S. dime coin for scale.

A company that is pioneering the use of earbud speakers that are manufactured like microchips says it has developed a way to convert inaudible, high-power ultrasound into hi-fi stereo sound, using a single driver. The result is what the company — called xMEMS —  says is a micro-electromechanical system (with a convenient MEMS acronym) driver that's powerful enough to deliver sound as well as active noise cancellation in a set of wireless earbuds.

According to xMEMS, these MEMS drivers possess a number of advantages for buyers and manufacturers of earbuds, like extreme ruggedness, a huge frequency-response range, ultrafast transient response (the ability to quickly shift from one sound to another), and more accurate sound reproduction.
