Pyle aims to bring back the glory of the 80’s by putting 1000 watts on your shoulder.

The newly announced Street Blaster from Pyle Audio is for those of us who look back upon the 1980s with dreamy reminiscence instead of a disgusted grimace. Though it’s more angular and nuclear reactor core-ish than its true ’80s ghetto blaster brethren, this device is decidedly descended from the fabled boombox.

Though Pyle is light on the details — the size of the drivers, specifically — the Street Blaster, on paper, appears to be a solid portable, wireless audio source. The boombox has four hours of playback per charge (via USB), and you can power it via a wall outlet with the included power adapter should that charge run dry (users can track remaining power with included battery indicator). You’ll also be able to connect wirelessly with Bluetooth- NFC pairing is available for compatible devices. If you lack a wireless device, you’ll still be able to connect via the 3.5mm input jack. Finally, the Blaster also boasts microphone and guitar inputs, though we doubt a band will really want to play “anytime, anywhere” with it, as Pyle suggests in its press release.

The Street Blaster may have 1,000 watts crammed into it, and while that doesn’t mean it necessarily sounds great, we can trust that Pyle will have made it loud. 

Pyle has a wide variety of products that range from nostalgia-inducing to future-reaching. Within the past year or so, we’ve covered a handful of the company’s other devices: the retro-styled PTR8UR turntable, the not-so-audiophile-quality PHBT5 headphones, and the quantity-over-quality PSBV200BT sound bar.

The Street Blaster is available now for roughly $250 via Pyle’s website and at Amazon.

One of the best TVs ever made is below $2,000, and comes with expert delivery
Panasonic Z95A

When you look through our current list of the best TVs, there are exactly two TVs that should stand out to you, even if you're a casual skimmer. The first is the Sony A95L QD-OLED, simply because it is at the top of the list. The second is the Panasonic Z95A, not because it's the runner-up (which it is) but because it's... Panasonic. It's just not a brand we see making winning TVs, but wow, what a winner the Z95A is. We immediately called it one of the best TVs ever made, something that will be apparent to your eyes if you get it. Now, what's exciting about this TV right now is that it has a low price. You can get the 65-inch version of the TV for $1,998 right now, a savings of over $1,200 off its usual $3,200 price point. You can even get a deluxe delivery and unpack for free if you select the right option on the sales page (accessible by tapping the button below). But, this deal has been around for some time now, since around the start of summer. With Prime Day here and ending soon, it's very likely the time for this deal to end as well. If you want one of the best TVs ever for under $2,000, be sure to tap the button below now.

An amazing TV under $1,000 has a sub $500 Prime Day price (and it’s ending soon)
TCL QM6K

We're now in the final moments of Amazon's summer Prime Day 2025 event, and finding critical last-minute deals. Here's one that almost fundamentally changes how you'll likely think about a product. See, we have a whole list of the best TVs under $1,000, a price point that a ton of people that love TVs just don't feel comfortable crossing. Then, we have a separate list for budget TVs, the best TVs under $500. Even though prices (which move up and down!) are quantitative data points, the differences between a sub $1,000 and a sub $500 TV feel almost categorical in nature, like the difference between water and steam. This deal take the $600 55-inch TCL QM6K (one of the TVs in our 'under $1,000' list) and pushes its price down by $152. This puts it at a price of $448, which is an all time low for it on Amazon, transforms it into an 'under $500' TV. Tap the button below to get the transformative deal while Prime Day is still here or continue reading to see why we liked it so much even when it was over $500.
