Good Deal The JBL Bar 5.1-channel soundbar on a white background.
JBL

Your TV speakers aren’t cutting it anymore! Brands like Samsung, Sony, and LG spend more time on picture quality than whatever 10-watt or 15-watt audio system gets placed in an LED, QLED, or OLED set. Fortunately, these same brands (and many others) also produce great soundbars. As a matter of fact, earlier today, we came across this fantastic JBL offer while vetting through soundbar deals:

For a limited time, when you purchase the JBL 5.1ch Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer at Best Buy, you’ll only wind up paying $260. The full MSRP on this model is $340.

Why you should buy the JBL 5.1ch Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer

Delivering up to 300 watts of pure power, the JBL 5.1ch Soundbar contains five full-range drivers, two tweeters, and a wireless sub. While you won’t get “true” surround sound from this system, JBL’s Smart Mode does a nice job at virtualizing a multi-speaker setup, especially once those side-firing drivers kick in! There’s even an audio correction tool for optimizing the soundbar’s performance to best match your room acoustics.

The JBL soundbar is equipped with HDMI ARC and digital optical for audio outputs, along with an Ethernet port for all your music-streaming needs. Thanks to its Bluetooth and Wi-Fi inputs, wirelessly playing music on this JBL soundbar is as easy as it gets, and native support for AirPlay 2 and Chromecast gives you plenty of intuitive ways to cast media from A to B.

It’s hard to say how long this sale is going to last, but if you’re interested in saving a good chunk of change on a solid soundbar, we wouldn’t dawdle. Take $80 off the JBL 5.1ch Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer when you purchase today.

I’m already surrounded by AI. I don’t need ChatGPT living beside my bed
No, OpenAI. I don’t want your ChatGPT speaker.
Apple HomePod 2023

AI is all around us now. From your phone to home appliances, it practically sits everywhere--and it might just get a lot more intimate. A recent report claims OpenAI and Jony Ive are working on a small, screenless AI speaker shaped somewhat like a doughnut. It could be battery-powered, portable enough to carry around the house, and packed with microphones, cameras, sensors, speakers, lights, and even moving parts.

It sounds like someone finally decided the Amazon Echo needed eyes and a personality. And not to be too negative, the idea of a "ChatGPT"-powered hardware really doesn't sound so great.

For months, reports have suggested that OpenAI’s first hardware product would be a screen-free smart speaker designed to act more like an AI companion. We already knew it could understand its surroundings, be carried around the home, and proactively help users. A new Bloomberg report now gives us a clearer picture of what the device may actually look like.

As per the report, OpenAI’s first gadget will be shaped like a doughnut and measure about the same size as a hockey puck. You will be able to carry it between rooms or leave it nearby on whatever surface is convenient. The device is expected to be on the expensive side, as the company has pondered pricing it around $300 to $400. A release is currently planned for 2027.
