Good Deal The JBL Xtreme 4 Bluetooth speaker. [Embargoed image 06/03]

As we hit the hot months, even the most online among us think about getting out of the gaming chair and into the real world. Staples like outdoor music or travels through nature almost certainly contributed to your enjoyment of the three day weekend we just had, so it’s only natural to want to gear up for the rest of the year. This impulse led us to look through our listing of the best Bluetooth speakers more earnestly, and we found our favorite premium mid-sized Bluetooth speaker — the JBL Xtreme 4 — to not only be there, but also to be on sale.

Right now, you can get a JBL Xtreme 4 for just $250 instead of the usual $380. Not only is that a savings of $130, it’s also the lowest we’ve seen these speakers on Amazon. If you’re looking to get something premium for just $250, be sure to tap the button below, or keep reading to see why they made it on our list.

Why you should buy a JBL Xtreme 4 Bluetooth speaker

The JBL Xtreme 4 Bluetooth speaker is an IP67 speaker that’s beach ready, rain and shine, and even has a shoulder strap to keep your hands open for beach towels and all your other gear. It’s a powerful speaker that’s just under a foot wide, and we’ve found that its noise output rivals slightly bigger speakers. Notably, the Xtreme 4 has an impressive battery life of 30 hours. How it gets there is pretty interesting, though. In standard conditions you’ll get a still-impressive 24 hour battery life, but if you turn on ‘Playtime Boost’ mode you get the extra six hours in exchange for not being able to use the EQ and losing just a few tones that take high energy to produce. If you’re out and about in a noisy environment, as we expect you’ll be with the JBL Xtreme 4, you’ll likely be very forgiving of the changes for some extra battery life. For more details that you probably won’t catch anywhere else — I totally missed that the carabiner on the strap had a bottle opener — be sure to read our full JBL Xtreme 4 review.

We’re not really sure how long you’ll be able to save $130 on a JBL Xtreme 4, taking its price from $380 to $250, but as we’re just after Memorial Day, we know that most ongoing deals will stop shortly. If you want this now, be sure to tap the button below. Otherwise, consider checking out our listing of the best waterproof Bluetooth speakers where you’ll still find the JBL Xtreme 4, but also find a lot of other fun gear as well.

The WH-1000XM6 are here, so a lesser discussed pair of Sony headphones are $50 off
Sony ULT Wear.

The first thing you need to know is that the Sony WH-1000XM6 are now out. If that's news to you, go read our WH-1000XM6 review right now. They're a contender to usurp their predecessor, the WH-1000XM5, at the top of the nearly everyone's list of the best headphones after we've had more time to sit with them and evaluate them. It should come as no surprise that the XM5 are on sale at the moment. However, it's also worth noting that their release has also prompted the less-discussed Sony ULT Wear headphones to go on sale.

The Sony ULT Wear are great headphones in their own right, making it on our list of the best noise-cancelling headphones for their ANC and excellent bass. You can get your Sony ULT Wear now for just $148 at Amazon, down $52 from their usual $200. Alternatively, you can grab them for $150 at Sony or Walmart, if you prefer those vendors. In any event, tap the appropriate button to pick up these headphones now — the sale will probably go away when the XM6 release fanfare dies down — and keep reading to see why we like them so much.

This deal changes things — our second favorite TV is $1,200 off
Panasonic Z95A

For a brand that's been losing recognition for quite some time, there's been a lot going on in the land of Panasonic lately. First, after careful review, we've selected the Panasonic Z95A as the runner-up in our best TVs right now, beating out brands like LG and Samsung, and only bested by a Sony TV. Then, there's the deals. We just saw 66% off their mini-LED TV and then, earlier this month, we saw the 65-inch Z95A at $2,500 (a $700 discount). And now we get to the present, where we see that the 65-inch Z95A has dropped even lower. While this deal lasts, through either of the buttons below, you can get this TV for just $2,000. That's $1,200 off its normal price of $3,200. Is that enough to make it best the Sony A95L QD-OLED? Bargain hunters will certainly think so, so be sure to pick the TV up at this price before it rises or, worse, stock runs out.

Why you should buy the Panasonic Z95A
When our review team made its Panasonic Z95A review in December of last year, we called it "one of the top 5 TVs ever made." We then talked at length about the one thing that might scare you away from this TV — it's an Amazon Fire TV — and gave step-by-step (and simple!) instructions for disabling Amazon's annoying ads. And then the rest is magic, featuring things you don't expect in a TV review. For example, there's a not-for-laughs "Superior sound" section that doesn't end with a note telling you to buy one of the best soundbars anyhow, because it already has a built-in one that's going to beat all but the most premium gear. Yet, this isn't why we declares it a top five all time TV, instead that's "from a strict evaluation of picture accuracy." In other words, this is a TV with a lot going for it.

LG G3 OLED evo.

In one of the most eye-catching TV deals we've seen today, Best Buy is offering you the chance to get the 65-inch LG G3 OLED 4K TV for a fantastic price of only $1,000, which is $2,300 lower than its original price of $3,300. There's a catch though -- it's a refurbished model, but of course, it will come with a guarantee that it will be working properly, though you may find some slight cosmetic defects. If you're fine with that, then make sure that you complete your purchase as soon as possible, as there are surely limited stocks available.
