Your TV speakers can only do so much. Even class-leading premium TVs like the LG G4 and Samsung S95D deliver rather unimpressive sound, which is why there’s such a big market for soundbars these days. Some of these audio devices can cost as much as a new QLED or OLED, but there are other models that are priced in a way most folks can wrap their heads around.

One such bar is the Amazon Fire TV Soundbar, a 2.0 system we tested back in November 2023. While our resident AV expert, Simon Cohen, wasn’t expecting much from this unit, he was happily proven wrong.

Why you should buy the Amazon Fire TV Soundbar

Let’s get one thing out of the way immediately: The Amazon Fire TV Soundbar is not a Fire TV OS product (it even says so right on the Amazon product page), so don’t expect this bar to give you access to streaming apps and other smart TV capabilities. What it will provide is a comprehensive audio experience that supersedes what your TV speakers are aiming for. The two-channel Fire TV Soundbar brings exceptional midrange and treble articulation to the table and a good amount of bass for such an inexpensive soundbar.

Thanks to Dolby Audio and DTS Virtual:X support, the Fire TV Soundbar is able to downmix surround sound formats for a virtualized experience. It’s not quite like having a true surround system, but the Fire TV Soundbar provides decent floor-to-ceiling immersion nonetheless.

The Fire TV Soundbar even has a dedicated Bluetooth input for streaming tunes and podcasts wirelessly via your phone or tablet and is designed to work with certain Fire TV OS televisions.

Save $30 when you purchase the Amazon Fire TV Soundbar right now, and be sure to take a look at our lists of the best soundbar deals, best Amazon deals, and best TV deals for even more discounts on home theater tech!

YouTube is reworking the Home page with Custom Feeds and quicker access to Subscriptions

Saved Custom Feeds are rolling out as YouTube also experiments with a redesigned Home navigation bar.

YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.

YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.

Skullcandy is now part of Bose, but its bold identity isn’t going anywhere

Bold style, meet big sound. Skullcandy just joined the Bose family.

If you own a pair of Skullcandy earbuds, there’s a good chance you’ve already heard Bose without realizing it. Now, the two companies are making things official. Bose has bought Skullcandy, the brand that made a name for itself with eye-catching headphones and a whole lot of attitude.

This deal didn’t come out of nowhere. For the past few years, Skullcandy has been packing Bose’s audio tech into its earbuds and headphones under the Sound by Bose label. That team-up worked so well that Bose decided to go all in and bring Skullcandy into the family.
