You’ve probably seen one or two JBL products in your shopping ventures. This popular audio brand is responsible for some of the best Bluetooth speakers, earbuds, and headphones on the market in 2024, and a great pair of JBL cans is getting the discount treatment today: Right now, when you purchase the JBL Live 660NC Headphones through JBL, you’ll only pay $60. At full price, these headphones cost $160.

We also recommend taking a look at some of the other great headphones deals we’ve been finding.

Why you should buy the JBL Live 660NC Headphones

The 660NC cans are lightweight, long-lasting, and sound great. The 40mm twin drivers do an excellent job at balancing mids, highs, and lows, providing a wide stereo soundstage that translates nicely to most genres. Fully charged, you can expect up to 40 hours of playback from these bad boys with ANC disabled, while turning ANC on reduces that number to about 26 hours.

Out of the box, the 660NC headphones favor a bass-forward signature, but you’ll be able to use the graphic EQ in the JBL app to fine-tune the sound quality to your liking. You’ll also be able to switch between noise-cancelling presets, monitor battery life, and call upon Alexa or Google Assistant with the JBL app. We also think the 660NC headphones deliver a solid phone call-taking experience.

We’re not sure how long this markdown is going to last, so today might be the best day to buy. Save $100 when you order the JBL Live 660NC Headphones through JBL, and be sure to check out our lists of the best Bose deals and best Bluetooth speaker deals for even more JBL discounts!

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.

AV receivers have felt increasingly optional for the average living room, because modern TVs, home theaters, and soundbars can handle simple setups without the additional box.

However, Marantz's latest CINEMA Series 2 lineup compels you to pay attention to the spec sheet and the price tag. The new CINEMA Series 2, which consists of four different models, packs enough hardware and software upgrades to attract both enthusiasts and professionals.
