JBL Bar 5.0 Multibeam
Simon Cohen / Digital Trends / Digital Trends

A fantastic TV is nothing without a solid audio system backing it up. While we understand that not every household can fit a massive speaker system in the living room, just about every entertainment center has enough room for a soundbar. These plug-and-play systems typically connect to your TV via a single HDMI or audio cable and, in some cases, even wirelessly. We’re always on the lookout for great soundbar deals, too, which leads us to this Best Buy discovery:

For a limited time, you’ll be able to purchase the JBL Bar 5.0 Multibeam Soundbar for only $250 as part of Best Buy’s Prep for the Holidays sale. At full price, this model sells for $400.

Why you should buy the JBL 5.0ch Soundbar with Multibeam

You’re probably wondering what “Multibeam” even means to begin with. This is the name of the JBL technology that beams audio to every part of your listening space. While this mid-range soundbar is best used in small to medium-sized rooms, Multibeam makes it feel like there are speakers in every nook and cranny. You’ll also be surprised at just how much thump this soundbar can produce without a dedicated subwoofer.

As for connectivity, you’ll be able to use the JBL Multibeam to listen to music wirelessly via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, AirPlay, or through Chromecast. If you plug the soundbar into your TV using HDMI eARC, the Multibeam can actually virtualize an entire Dolby Atmos surround system. And like many soundbars of this caliber, the Multibeam uses fast-acting calibrations to optimize its performance based on your listening environment.

In the event that you’d like to add the JBL Multibeam to a larger audio ecosystem, the soundbar supports Alexa-Multi-Room-Music, too. This feature even lets you play the same source across all rooms or a different song for each speaker.

Best Buy deals like this one are a bit of a rarity, and after this pre-holiday sale, we’re not sure when it’s ever going to cost this much again. That being said, now could be the best time to buy the JBL 5.0 Multibeam Soundbar. Save $150 when you order through Best Buy today, and be sure to take a look at some of the other Bluetooth speaker deals we’ve been finding!

Netflix just got a whole lot more irritating if you share a screen in a household
Every profile will soon need its own email address, adding another hurdle for households that share a TV.

Netflix's password-sharing crackdown isn't over just yet. The streaming giant is now rolling out another change that could make shared household accounts a little more cumbersome, this time by asking every profile on an account to have its own email address. While the move isn't designed to stop families from sharing a subscription, it does add another layer of identity verification that many users probably weren't asking for.

Deezer just made remix culture official, and AI doesn’t get the aux cord

You've seen TikTok or Instagram reels of sped-up or slowed-down songs, and new mixes of popular titles that end up getting millions of views. But despite that virality, the original artist never ends up getting paid. Deezer is trying to change things with its new Remix Lab. It's a new in-app feature that lets fans remix songs with the explicit consent of artists and rights holders. The feature is launching first in France through Deezer Club, with the company saying it could expand to other countries in the coming months.
