A hidden Amazon deal will save you 30% on Sony’s bass-heavy, ultra flexible outdoor speakers

Good Deal Sony ULT Field 1 in four colors.
Simon Cohen / Digital Trends

There was an era where everything was seemingly about bass. Is that era over? Every time I write about Beats headphones, there’s a question that arises. Do I even need to quote the line from the review that inevitably mentions that they aren’t as bass-heavy as the brand’s originals were? Are bass heads in trouble?

The answer turns out to be no, all thanks to the Sony ULT series, and right now you can save big on their extremely versatile outdoor speaker. The Sony ULT Field 1 is usually $128, but you can get it now for just $89, a savings of $39. Please note that the store page says price hidden, but the deal is still there when you add the speaker to your cart. Tap the button below to see the deal yourself or keep reading for our take on the Sony ULT Field 1 and see what features make Sony’s speakers designed for bass heads unique.

Why you should buy a Sony ULT Field 1

The first thing about the Sony ULT Field 1 that you’ll probably want to know is that it’s IP67 weather-resistant, which means that it’s extremely resistant to dust and it will make a wonderful waterproof speaker for your outdoor summer fun. And with a 12 hour battery life to boot, you know that it’ll keep going long after the party is winding down. Next, there’s that bass. The “ULT” button gives a bass-boost that you’ll actually notice. Finally, there’s the dual-orientation of the speaker. The speaker has been optimized for both horizontal and vertical orientations. Though we still find the fullest overall sound field to be present when you use the Sony ULT Field 1 in horizontal mode, placing one vertically on an end table in a crowded environment can really liven the place up.

We’re not really sure how long this deal will last, but bass heads who need a new outdoor speaker really ought to check out the Sony ULT Field 1 at $89. It’s a savings of $39 off of the usual $128 and a great way to save for the summer. Remember that this deal is for the price hidden versions of the speaker because, for whatever reason, Amazon doesn’t want you to know about this deal.

This deal gets you $45 earbuds that “redefine” the genre
Soundcore Space A40 held in a hand.

Just three weeks ago we reviewed the Soundcore Liberty 5, which we called "excellent daily driver earbuds." The meaning was pretty clear — the buds sell for $130, which is considerably lower than their Apple competition and sits them right in the middle of the best earbuds. They're quality buds and have Soundcore's best ANC to date. That's great stuff, but this hot deal puts an all-time low price on a difference set of Soundcore's earbuds -- a more budget-minded set.

The Soundcore Space A40 retail for somewhere between about $65 and $80 depending on where you look, but now you can get them for just $45. Amazon Prime members can get the blue color and any Walmart shopper can get the black color with free shipping while this deal lasts. Is it enough to completely eclipse the Liberty 5 release? For a certain type of shopper, yes. If you're that type of shopper, please tap the appropriate button below.

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.
