The best soundbar Bose makes is $100 off right now, and a must-buy

Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar in white.

While there are a lot of big audio brands out there, Bose is one of the biggest and most well-known and makes some of the best headphones on the market right now. Bose doesn’t limit itself to just headphones, though, and it’s also branched out to make some of the best soundbars on the market as well. Of course, Bose’s soundbars do tend to be expensive, but luckily, there’s a deal from Best Buy that discounts the original $900 down to $800.

Why you should buy the Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar

While the Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar doesn’t come with a subwoofer or satellite speakers, it does a good job of recreating surround sound for the whole room with just six speakers in its little frame. It comes with both Dolby Atmos and Bose TrueSpace, which help create a wider soundstage so that you can hear things with a bit more detail. In fact, it also has a fancy AI Dialogue mode, which helps adjust the audio to make the voice sound clearer, which is important given that most shows and films these days tend to lower the volume of the actors’ voices.

Of course, this also helps with music since you can stream over Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Apple AirPlay 2, Spotify Connect, and Chromecast so that you can enjoy any content from pretty much any device, although you can still connect through the HDMI eARC if you want a wired connection. The Bose Music app also gives you a lot of control over the soundbar since it connects with a digital assistant and lets you control the soundbar remotely by voice, which includes lowering and raising the volume and things of that nature. It’s also worth noting that you can pair this soundbar with select Bose headphones and other soundbars to create a private listening experience or a whole better surround sound.

Overall, the Bose Smart Ultra Soundbar is really an excellent device, which isn’t surprising given that it comes from Bose, and the discount from Best Buy that brings it down to $800 makes it a bit more justifiable to grab. On the other hand, if it’s not really what you’re looking for, or it’s a bit out of budget, then there are some other great soundbar deals you can take a look at, as well as these Bose headphone deals if you want to try out the private listening features.

My favorite headphones are $50 off right now — you need them
Man wearing Sony WH-1000XM4 headpones.

Right now, one of the best headphone deals comes from Crutchfield. Today, you can buy the Sony WH-1000XM4 headphones for $50 off, meaning you pay $298 instead of $348. The headphones are my personal favorite, doing a fantastic job of making whatever I listen to sound great and blocking out surrounding noises wonderfully. If that sounds like something you want in your life (you really do), read on for more information on why these are must have headphones.

Why you should buy the Sony WH-1000XM4
Sensible potential buyers no doubt head over to see what we rank as the best headphones. If that’s you, you’ll notice the Sony WH-1000XM4 aren’t there any more. They used to be, until the WH-1000XM5 came out and replaced them. I bought the WH-1000XM4 after the newer model came out because the price difference and some subtle changes meant that it simply made more sense to go slightly older. We have a full comparison between the Sony WH-1000XM5 and XM4, but what it boils down to is that the XM5 are a little lighter but they don’t fold up like the XM4, which would have been annoying when I was on a recent flight and trying to squeeze everything into my carry-on.

This $270 QLED TV deal has the makings of something better
A display of Hisense's QD5 QLED.

If you check out our listing of the best TVs, you may admittedly get some sticker shock. It makes sense — they are the best for a reason — but that doesn't necessarily make it comfortable for your family's budget. Maybe everyone already has one of the best tablets for watching movies, you don't value screen time that much, or its just not in the budget. That's why we also keep tabs on great TVs under $500, too. And this deal on a 55-inch Hisense QD5 QLED certainly makes a compelling case for it to be the TV you buy today if price is a factor. Normally $400, the QD5 can be yours for just $270 if you buy now. That's a savings of $130, or about 33%, if you tap the button below and make a purchase. Keep reading to see our insights as well.

Why you should buy the 55-inch Hisense QD5 QLED
It might be weird to think of it this way, but with a TV at this price it helps more to think of what it's missing than what it has. The good news is there isn't much absent here. It's a Google TV, so you know the OS has modern touches you'll feel comfortable with, including a voice remote. Gaming is also pretty well covered, with a "game mode" we see on so many TVs these days and motion rate 120 for smoother action. It has a 4K AI upscaler, HDR 10 (but not HDR 10+), and Dolby Vision Audio. And, with all that, it still manages to bring in one of the two big TV techs by being a QLED. This means it offers superior brightness to traditional LED TVs that you might be used to at this price point.
