It wasn’t long ago that anyone looking to experience home theater surround sound would have to invest in an AV receiver, speakers, and a bunch of wires to get a system up and running. Thankfully, 2025 brings a present-day packed with soundbar options, and many of these devices can virtualize an entire Dolby Atmos configuration! As a matter of fact, one of these bars is on sale today:

For a limited time, when you purchase the Sennheiser Ambeo Soundbar Plus at Amazon, Best Buy, Crutchfield, and a handful of other retailers, you’ll only pay $1,000. The full MSRP on this model is $1,500. We tested this soundbar back in October 2023 and reviewer Simon Cohen had this to say about it: “With virtualized Dolby Atmos this good, who needs more speakers?”

Why you should buy the Sennheiser Ambeo Soundbar Plus

Sennheiser’s industry-lauded audio engineering is on full display with the Ambeo Soundbar Plus, a premium soundbar with four main drivers, a dedicated center channel, two up-firing speakers, and a built-in subwoofer. When wired to your TV via HDMI eARC, any AV component (including the TV’s built-in apps) will send audio to the Ambeo Soundbar Plus, and the bar supports up to Dolby Atmos and DTS:X through this HDMI 2.0a connection. You can also connect devices to the Ambeo’s two HDMI inputs, and can link up to four wireless Ambeo subs or one wired sub via LFE.

When it comes to sound quality, the Ambeo Soundbar Plus is going to blow you away. Expect warm and kinetic bass and solid articulation for treble and midrange frequencies. The surround sound virtualization doesn’t quite hit complete Dolby Atmos levels, but it’s a convincing emulation nonetheless. You’ll also be able to customize audio settings and perform a room calibration using the Sennheiser app. The soundbar also supports Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, so you’ll be able to stream music from services like Spotify. The Ambeo even features built-in Alexa and Google Assistant capabilities!

We’re not sure how long this discount is going to stick around, but soundbar deals like this one tend to come and go rather quickly. That being said, now might be the best (and last) day to save. Take $500 off the Sennheiser Ambeo Soundbar Plus when you purchase today. We also suggest taking a look at our lists of the best Amazon deals and top Best Buy deals for even more markdowns on top soundbars!

Marshall refreshes its Acton and Stanmore speakers with better bass and repairability

Marshall launches Acton IV and Stanmore IV

Marshall has refreshed two of its most popular wireless speakers. The company has officially unveiled the Acton IV and Stanmore IV, bringing a series of meaningful upgrades that go beyond simply making them louder. While improved bass and cleaner sound are part of the package, Marshall is also making a welcome push toward repairability, allowing owners to replace several external components instead of replacing the entire speaker.

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. Somewhere along the way, however, I stopped judging earbuds purely on how they sound and started paying closer attention to how naturally they fit into an ordinary day.

So much of this category now chases bass, noise cancellation, and a spec sheet full of features that comfort has quietly become an afterthought. 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. I picked them up from Amazon at $40, so it wasn't a big hit on my wallet either. The leap of faith, I'd say, was well worth it.
