Check out our full review of the Soundfreaq Sound Platform 2 bluetooth speakers.

Soundfreaq got its post-holiday freak on a little early as the company announced a suite of new products that it will make official at next month’s CES in Las Vegas. This includes the Sound Platform 2, Sound Rise Lighting and Sound Step/Sound Recharge Lighting.

The freaq’ing begins with the Sound Platform 2, which will be released in February for around $150 as a Target exclusive. The new speaker dock will offer Dual System Streaming which will allow two systems to be paired together, working as one speaker system with left and right audio, and allowing owners to fill their rooms with balanced sound and true stereo separation.

This unit will also offer dual USB charging ports to make it easy to charge two smartphones or tablets at the same time, while a universal device tray will hold any device during streaming or charging. The Sound Platform 2 will also be available with an upgradeable rechargeable battery that can provide up to seven hours of cord-free audio playback.

In addition to the Sound Platform 2, Soundfreaq will also unveil the Sound Rise Lighting and Sound Step/Sound Step Recharge Lighting at CES – all slated for a spring 2013 release.

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.

Our favorite soundbar is 41% off for Prime Day, but time is running out

Samsung HW-Q990D Dolby Atmos Soundbar.

There are a lot of soundbar deals that are still available as we approach the end of Prime Day, but this is the one that you should target -- the Samsung HW-Q990D with a huge 41% discount from Amazon, slashing its price from $1,998 all the way down to just $1,178. It's still expensive, but if you want to make an investment to dramatically improve your home theater setup's audio, you shouldn't miss this chance at $820 in savings. You have to hurry though, as there are only a few hours left before the shopping event closes.
