The Samsung HW-B750D 5.1ch Soundbar.

We here at Digital Trends love a good soundbar, but we know just how expensive these plug-and-play TV speakers can be. Fortunately, you don’t always have to lay down a ton of dough for top-notch audio, especially when there’s a solid sale hovering around. As luck would have it, we found a fantastic offer while vetting through soundbar deals earlier today:

For a limited time, when you purchase the Samsung HW-B750D 5.1ch Soundbar through Samsung, Amazon, Best Buy, and a handful of other retailers, you’ll only pay $280. At full price, this model sells for $450.

Get $50 off a one-year Peacock subscription with this code
The Peacock app icon on Apple TV.

If you've already watched everything on your current streaming subscriptions, it's time to look for more streaming deals. Why not try Peacock? It usually costs $80 per year, but with the code WINTERSAVINGS, you'll only have to pay $30, for huge savings of $50. The 63% discount isn't going to last forever though as it's a limited-time offer, so if you don't want to miss this bargain, we highly recommend signing up for the service right now.

Why you should sign up for Peacock
NBC's Peacock doesn't have as many subscribers as Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, but it's still among the most popular streaming services. That's partly because it's where you can watch the English Premier League in the U.S. -- though there's plenty of other stuff to watch -- and a competitive price that's even more affordable right now. There's a strong focus on sports because of Peacock's partnership with NBC Sports, including live events such as the WWE NXT Vengeance Day on February 15.
