Three Times Cheaper Than the Bose Soundbar, This Bluetooth Model Is Flying Off the Shelves on Amazon

Three Times Cheaper Than the Bose Soundbar, This Bluetooth Model Is Flying Off the Shelves on Amazon

Gizmodo20-05-2025
This Fire TV Soundbar is focused on delivering excellent core performance at a fraction of the price.
Buying a good soundbar is one of the simplest and most effective ways to dramatically improve your TV's audio quality. The Bose soundbar has long been a favorite for those seeking solid performance at a reasonable price, and its current $279 price tag on Amazon is already considered a great deal.
But Amazon's own Fire TV Soundbar is now available for just $89, which is a full three times less than the Bose counterpart (and a 25% discount from the original $119 price) and which makes it an unbeatable option for bargain hunters.

Affordable Great Sound
This newest Fire TV soundbar is a compact 2.0 channel soundbar which is designed to fit seamlessly into most living spaces with a length of just 24 inches and a height of 2.5 inches. Its minimalist design ensures it won't dominate your TV stand but don't let its size fool you: the dual speakers deliver a much fuller sound than what you'll get from standard TV speakers. Dialogue is more distinct, there's more noticeable bass, and the overall sound profile is richer which improves everything from sports to films.
What really sets this soundbar apart is that it supports both Dolby Audio and DTS Virtual:X, two technologies that create a virtualized surround sound effect without extra speakers. DTS Virtual:X gives you a three-dimensional soundstage with action sequences that draw you in and a sense of space around music that's unheard of at this price. Dolby Audio adds more detail and clarity so you never miss a word or subtle sound effect. With the Fire TV Soundbar, whatever you're watching – the latest release or your favorite TV show – sounds far larger than it has any right to at this price.
Setting up the Fire TV Soundbar is beautifully easy: Simply plug the included HDMI cable into your TV's HDMI eARC or ARC port, and you're ready to go. The soundbar automatically syncs with your TV audio, so there's no delay, and everything stays in perfect sync. No tricky setups or additional apps needed. If you'd like to listen to music, the built-in Bluetooth permits you to stream directly from your phone or tablet.
The Fire TV Soundbar is also designed to work seamlessly with Fire TV devices and most smart TVs so that you can control your TV and soundbar using a single remote. With this integration, you're able to switch inputs, control volume, and navigate your entertainment system without juggling several remotes.
With Memorial Day sales in full swing, the Amazon Fire TV Soundbar for $89 is one of the best deals you'll find for a serious sound upgrade. For nearly three times less than the Bose soundbar everyone raves about, you're getting a device that hits all the right notes.

Perplexity AI offers $34.5bn to acquire Google Chrome

AI-powered search engine Perplexity AI has made an unsolicited offer of $34.5bn to acquire Alphabet's Chrome browser. Perplexity's CEO, Aravind Srinivas, is known for aggressive acquisition strategies, as evidenced by the company's previous offer for TikTok US. Tech industry's giants such as OpenAI and Yahoo, alongside Apollo Global Management, are also showing interest in Chrome. Alphabet is yet to respond to the bid, and Chrome is not currently up for sale. The technology conglomerate plans to appeal a US court ruling that found it held an unlawful monopoly in online search. The Justice Department's case against Google includes a potential Chrome divestiture as a remedy, which could influence the outcome of Perplexity's offer. Despite not disclosing its funding plan, Perplexity has raised approximately $1bn from investors including Nvidia and SoftBank. The company claims that multiple funds are ready to finance the deal in full. Perplexity's proposal, which notably lacks an equity component, aims to maintain user choice and address future competition concerns. However; analysts are sceptical about Google's willingness to part with Chrome, considering its strategic importance to the company's AI initiatives, according to Reuters. The legal landscape also presents challenges, with a federal ruling on the Google search antitrust case expected soon. Perplexity, with its own AI browser Comet, aims to harness Chrome's more than three billion users to strengthen its position against larger competitors. The company has committed to keeping Chrome's underlying code, Chromium, open source and plans to invest $3bn over two years while maintaining Chrome's default search engine, as per a term sheet seen by Reuters. In July 2025, Perplexity AI obtained new funding, bringing its valuation to $18bn. The company secured $100m in fresh capital as an extension of a previous round. "Perplexity AI offers $34.5bn to acquire Google Chrome" was originally created and published by Verdict, a GlobalData owned brand.
