Why you should buy the Amazon Fire TV Soundbar Plus

The Fire TV Soundbar Plus is the perfect soundbar for anyone searching for a solid audio upgrade over conventional TV speakers. Reviewer Simon Cohen even said, “Unbox it, plug it in, and enjoy the sound. The Fire TV Soundbar Plus is as easy as it gets.”

TV speakers are simply not big enough to deliver the kind of full-range sound that a soundbar or surround system is designed for. The Amazon Soundbar Plus solves this problem with a simple HDMI eARC or digital optical connection to your TV. While you won’t get the type of immersion that a true surround sound system brings to the table, the Fire TV Soundbar Plus does a great job at enhancing dialogue (thanks to its dedicated center speaker) and beefing up the overall soundstage.

You’ll also have your choice of four audio presets: Movie, Music, Sports, and Night. There’s also a Bluetooth input you can switch to if you’d like to stream music or podcasts from your phone or tablet to the Soundbar Plus.

The Amazon Fire TV Soundbar Plus is also a part of two other Amazon bundles: the Fire TV Soundbar Plus with subwoofer as well as the Fire TV Soundbar Plus with subwoofer and surround speakers. Do keep in mind that neither the sub nor the surround speakers are available to purchase separately.

Save $70 when you purchase the Amazon Fire TV Soundbar Plus today. We also recommend looking at our lists of the best Bluetooth speaker deals and best Amazon deals for even more discounts on top tech.

Nothing’s next budget earbuds are coming for boring AirPods clones
Nothing Ear (3a) may bring back some personality to budget earbuds
Nothing Ear (a) deal

Budget wireless earbuds are the most popular kind of wearable tech in the market. But just like smartphones, a lot of these hearables basically look quite similar to one another. Nothing has actively worked on avoiding that trap, and its next affordable earbuds are expected to keep the track going.

The company has just confirmed that Nothing Ear (3a) will launch on July 7 at 11:00 BST, sharing the stage with the upcoming Nothing Phone (4b). The teaser does not reveal the full spec sheet yet, but it does show the earbuds in four colors: White, Black, Yellow, and Pink. Nothing’s audio lineup has always leaned on transparent styling and playful color choices to stand out in a sea of AirPods clones.

Sony’s WH-1000XM6 headphones just became more tempting for gamers who hate gaming headsets
The new update adds Bluetooth LE Audio's Gaming Audio Profile, giving Sony's premium noise-canceling cans a lower-latency trick for compatible gaming devices.
Sony WH-1000XM6.

Sony's WH-1000XM6 gaming mode is rolling out through firmware version 3.1.5, adding support for Bluetooth LE Audio's Gaming Audio Profile, or GMAP. The same update also includes general performance improvements, so WH-1000XM6 owners have a real reason to open the Sony Sound Connect app.

It's a handy upgrade for headphones built more for commutes or office silence than late-night matches. Bluetooth lag can make games feel faintly wrong, especially when a footstep or button press lands a fraction too late.

Acer’s 1,000Hz gaming monitor is real, expensive, and stuck waiting on a launch date
The Amazon listing confirms the $699.99 price, while the display remains temporarily out of stock.
Electronics, Screen, Computer Hardware

Acer’s 1,000Hz gaming monitor has moved from announcement to Amazon listing. The XV273U F5 is priced at $699.99, giving competitive players a real number to weigh before one of the fastest displays headed to North America actually ships.

Availability is still the problem. Amazon lists the monitor as temporarily out of stock, and Acer has previously pointed to a Q4 North America launch window instead of a firm release date.
