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.

Nothing’s next budget earbuds are coming for boring AirPods clones
Nothing Ear (3a) may bring back some personality to budget earbuds
Nothing Ear (a) deal

Budget wireless earbuds are the most popular kind of wearable tech in the market. But just like smartphones, a lot of these hearables basically look quite similar to one another. Nothing has actively worked on avoiding that trap, and its next affordable earbuds are expected to keep the track going.

The company has just confirmed that Nothing Ear (3a) will launch on July 7 at 11:00 BST, sharing the stage with the upcoming Nothing Phone (4b). The teaser does not reveal the full spec sheet yet, but it does show the earbuds in four colors: White, Black, Yellow, and Pink. Nothing’s audio lineup has always leaned on transparent styling and playful color choices to stand out in a sea of AirPods clones.

Sony’s WH-1000XM6 headphones just became more tempting for gamers who hate gaming headsets
The new update adds Bluetooth LE Audio's Gaming Audio Profile, giving Sony's premium noise-canceling cans a lower-latency trick for compatible gaming devices.
Sony WH-1000XM6.

Sony's WH-1000XM6 gaming mode is rolling out through firmware version 3.1.5, adding support for Bluetooth LE Audio's Gaming Audio Profile, or GMAP. The same update also includes general performance improvements, so WH-1000XM6 owners have a real reason to open the Sony Sound Connect app.

It's a handy upgrade for headphones built more for commutes or office silence than late-night matches. Bluetooth lag can make games feel faintly wrong, especially when a footstep or button press lands a fraction too late.

Acer’s 1,000Hz gaming monitor is real, expensive, and stuck waiting on a launch date
The Amazon listing confirms the $699.99 price, while the display remains temporarily out of stock.
Electronics, Screen, Computer Hardware

Acer’s 1,000Hz gaming monitor has moved from announcement to Amazon listing. The XV273U F5 is priced at $699.99, giving competitive players a real number to weigh before one of the fastest displays headed to North America actually ships.

Availability is still the problem. Amazon lists the monitor as temporarily out of stock, and Acer has previously pointed to a Q4 North America launch window instead of a firm release date.
