Bluetooth speakers are sold just about anywhere you can buy electronics, and now that the technology has been around for a minute, these portable music boxes are better than ever! Of course, not all Bluetooth speakers are worth your hard-earned pay, and there are even a few brands we would absolutely refuse to use, but Anker isn’t one of them. 

When it comes to power, performance, versatility, and ease of use, Anker products can always be relied on, and right now, one of the company’s best Bluetooth speakers is on sale: For a limited time, when you purchase the Anker Soundcore Boom 2 Plus on Amazon, you’ll be able to apply a $50 coupon at checkout, which brings the price down to $200. 

We tested the Soundcore Boom 2 Plus back in June, and reviewer Derek Malcolm had the following kind words to say: “The Soundcore Boom 2 Plus is a loud, clear, and rugged summertime dream that punches well above its weight, all for $250.”

Why you should buy the Anker Soundcore Boom 2 Plus

The Soundcore Boom 2 Plus carries an IPX7 rating, meaning you’ll be able to use the speaker in and around swimming pools or even in the rain (though we wouldn’t recommend keeping the speaker in the rain). Available in Black, Blue, and Green colorways, we also love the side-facing RGB lights that add extra style and entertainment value when your favorite tunes are blasting! And as far as sound quality goes, you’re in for a treat. 

Delivering up to 140W, the Boom 2 Plus uses Soundcore’s BassUp 2.0 technology to get even more low-end out of the system’s twin 50W woofers. You’ll also be able to use the Boom 2 Plus for up to 20 hours with BassUp disabled, and it supports 30W fast charging, too. And if you plan on taking it on the go, you may want to pair this Boom 2 Plus purchase with one of these portable power station deals, that way you’ll never have to worry about any batteries running out.

Order the Anker Soundcore Boom 2 Plus on Amazon and apply the $50 coupon at checkout while you still can. You may also want to look through our roundups of the best Bluetooth speaker deals and best Sonos deals for even more markdowns on Bluetooth and Wi-Fi-powered speakers.

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.
