The Super Bowl is just several days away now, which means you don’t have much time left to outfit your living room with the TV, streaming devices, and audio devices. After all, who wants to watch the big game on a small screen with tinny speakers? Fortunately, brands like Sonos have got you covered when it comes to the latter:

For a limited time, when you purchase the Sonos Beam Gen 2 through Amazon, Best Buy, Sonos, and other participating retailers, you’ll only pay $400. The full MSRP on this model is $500. We tested the Beam Gen 2 a few years back, and reviewer Simon Cohen said: “Dolby Atmos adds a splash of 3D fun to an already excellent soundbar.”

Why you should buy the Sonos Beam Gen 2

The Sonos Beam Gen 2 is the best of both worlds when it comes to home theater sound and Sonos versatility. On the one hand, this soundbar delivers exceptional stereo performance and does a fine job of emulating larger surround sound systems. Say goodbye to pesky speaker wires and hello to virtualized Dolby Atmos. Plus, Sonos’ Trueplay feature does a fantastic job at calibrating audio to best suit your room acoustics. Not to mention, the Beam Gen 2 is small enough to hang out with most 55- and 65-inch TVs without cutting into screen space.

As for Sonos versatility, the Beam Gen 2 is set up, controlled, and customized via the Sonos app. Available for iOS and Android devices, Sonos’ companion software lets you stream music from your connected devices through popular services like Spotify and Apple Music. You’ll also be able to group the Beam Gen 2 with other Sonos speakers, allowing you to play the same song on a bunch of speakers at once or a different track on each Sonos product.

The Beam Gen 2 uses HDMI eARC to connect to your TV, and both Alexa and Google Assistant are on tap, too, so you’ll be able to use the soundbar as a smart speaker. We’re not sure how long this discount is going to stick around, so today might be the last day to save. Take $100 off the Sonos Beam Gen 2 when you purchase today.

Marshall refreshes its Acton and Stanmore speakers with better bass and repairability

Marshall launches Acton IV and Stanmore IV

Marshall has refreshed two of its most popular wireless speakers. The company has officially unveiled the Acton IV and Stanmore IV, bringing a series of meaningful upgrades that go beyond simply making them louder. While improved bass and cleaner sound are part of the package, Marshall is also making a welcome push toward repairability, allowing owners to replace several external components instead of replacing the entire speaker.

I was skeptical of clip-style open earbuds. After trying my first pair, I don’t want to go back
No pressure, no plugged-up feeling, no fatigue. After months of all-day wear, open-air audio earclips have earned a permanent spot in my routine.
Baseus Bowie MC2 earclip earbuds.

I am not what you would call an audiophile. I don't obsess over terms like LDAC and DSEE upscaling. For me, they're just another utilitarian gadget to get the job done. Somewhere along the way, however, I stopped judging earbuds purely on how they sound and started paying closer attention to how naturally they fit into an ordinary day.

So much of this category now chases bass, noise cancellation, and a spec sheet full of features that comfort has quietly become an afterthought. I recently got a chance to try the Baseus Bowie MC2, my first pair of earclip-style earbuds. It came as a revelation for me. I picked them up from Amazon at $40, so it wasn't a big hit on my wallet either. The leap of faith, I'd say, was well worth it.
