No matter how spectacular the display of your 4K TV, a watching experience isn’t complete without excellent audio. If you want to retire from tinny, muffled TV speakers, we suggest going for a soundbar. They come in a small footprint, are easy to set up, and sound much better than TVs alone.

Amazon has the Samsung HW-R550 and LG SL5Y 2.1 channel soundbars discounted at the moment, cutting up to 34% off their standard price tags. Sale prices are $198 and $185, respectively. These soundbar deals are further sweetened with the inclusion of a wireless subwoofer.

I was skeptical of clip-style open earbuds. After trying my first pair, I don’t want to go back
No pressure, no plugged-up feeling, no fatigue. After months of all-day wear, open-air audio earclips have earned a permanent spot in my routine.
Baseus Bowie MC2 earclip earbuds.

I am not what you would call an audiophile. I don't obsess over terms like LDAC and DSEE upscaling. For me, they're just another utilitarian gadget to get the job done.

I recently got a chance to try the Baseus Bowie MC2, my first pair of earclip-style earbuds. It came as a revelation for me.
