Save on soundbars: This Samsung 3.1-channel soundbar has a great deal this week
Home theater soundbars allow you to turn your average living room into a theater space that sometimes rivals the discount multiplex down the road. Brands like Samsung are responsible for some of the most impressive and immersive soundbars on the market, and as luck would have it, there's a great Samsung bar on sale this week.
For a limited time, you'll be able to get the Samsung HW-B650 3.1ch Soundbar at Best Buy or Walmart for only $230, a $170 markdown from its $400 MSRP.
Why you should buy the Samsung HW-B650 Soundbar
The Samsung HW-B650 is an absolute godsend for lackluster TV speakers. Once connected to your TV via HDMI ARC or digital optical, all AV components and TV audio will be routed through your Samsung bar. Classed as a 3.1 setup, the HW-B650 features a discrete center channel and left-right channels, resulting in powerful front-of-the-room performance that holds up well in small to medium-sized spaces. And thanks to the wireless sub, this Samsung system even brings a fair amount of bass to the party!
Thanks to Dolby Digital and DTS support, the HW-B650 can also downscale surround sound signals to virtualize a larger speaker system. It's not as immersive as a true surround setup or object-based tracking you'd get from a Dolby Atmos or DTS:X-compatible soundbar, but you can always add a Samsung rear speaker kit down the line for improved emulation.
There's even a Bluetooth input for streaming music and podcasts wirelessly from a phone or tablet to your Samsung soundbar. This model has been out for a few years now, so we're not sure how much longer you'll be able to find it brand-new and for a discounted price.
Take $200 off the Samsung HW-B650 3.1ch Soundbar when you purchase today. We also recommend taking a look at our lists of the best soundbar deals, best Samsung TV deals, and best TV deals for even more discounts on top AV devices.

Jordan Chiles 'finally' feels good about her skin
Jordan Chiles has taken 22 years to "embrace" her complexion. The 24-year-old gymnast has suffered from acne in the past but she feels a lot more positive about her skin these days. She told Refinery29: 'I have [acne] scars here and there, but now I'm finally at a point where I'm positive with myself and my skin. 'Literally, it took me 22 years to finally be like, look, Jordan, you're a gorgeous girl. You have beautiful skin. Embrace that.' The Olympian tries to keep her routine simple when it comes to looking after her sensitive skin. She said: 'A majority of the time, I only use a good cleanser, an exfoliator, and then a nice, silky moisturiser. 'I keep it very simple, but make sure everything is hydrated and my skin looks good and glowy.' Jordan is the new face of Hero Cosmetics and she's a huge fan of their Mighty Patch hydrocolloid stickers. She said: 'People always ask me, 'What do you do for your skincare?' So I was really happy Hero wanted me to be one of their ambassadors. Whether it's dark spots or a pimple that's coming up and I want it gone, I've always loved Mighty Patch... "I have Mighty Patches in every bag, my car, my room, and probably in five different bathrooms." Asked her favourites, she replied: 'Literally all of them, but since I go to practice a lot, [I love] the invisible ones and the dark spot ones with the prickly points.' And Jordan also loves Hero's Pore Purity Cleansing Clay Mask, which features sea clay and sea kelp bio-ferment to decongest skin. She said: 'It makes my face so soft — I love it. I've been recently using it two to three times a week to get my pores in the right way and all that stuff.' When she is competing, Jordan hasn't been afraid to be "glam" with nail art and fluttery lashes firm features of her look. She said: 'My older sister, who is my hair and makeup artist, definitely gave me a perspective of understanding that glam is something to enjoy, have fun with, and be creative."

Is this the ultimate US growth stock to consider buying now?
When it comes to the best US growth stocks to buy, most investors have had their sights on Nvidia (NASDAQ:NVDA). The graphic processing unit (GPU) chip designer has created some of the most powerful artificial intelligence (AI) accelerator semiconductors that data centres worldwide have rushed to buy, even at an enormous premium price tag. And as a result, the Nvidia share price has skyrocketed by over 1,400% in the last five years. However in 2025, this impressive momentum's seemingly started to calm. In fact, since the start of the year, Nvidia shares have actually fallen by around 3% – a significant change, of course, compared to the 120% gain achieved over the same period last year. And that's despite Nvidia's growth continuing to fire on all cylinders. So if the financials are still improving, but the share price isn't responding, are investors looking for a potential buying opportunity? There are 64 institutional investors tracking this business right now. And the consensus is pretty bullish, with 58 issuing either Buy or Outperform recommendations. As for price targets, the average forecast among analysts is $175 per share by this time next year – or roughly 30% higher than current levels. For a $3.3trn enterprise, a 30% potential gain's pretty enormous. But it certainly doesn't sound far-fetched. After all, Nvidia currently controls around 80% of the AI chip market, forming the backbone of global AI infrastructure. And with new AI as well as gaming chips on the horizon, the company's market dominance looks set to continue. Looking at the latest first-quarter earnings report, sales were firmly ahead of analyst expectations at $44.06bn, with the all-important data centre-related sales growing by 73% year-on-year. Pairing that with continued excessive free cash flow generation and chunky profit margins, it's not hard to understand why analysts are so bullish, especially with AI still largely in its infancy. Despite delivering 73% data centre sales growth, this was actually slower than what the firm could have delivered if it wasn't for US export restrictions on China. Specifically, the company was unable to deliver $2.5bn worth of its H20 chips to China, resulting in a $4.5bn charge relating to excess inventory and purchase obligations. With demand from China not expected to return while the export restrictions remain in place, management's warned that data centre-related revenues in the second quarter will suffer an $8bn hit. The good news is there's ample demand from non-China-based customers to offset this impact in the long run. The bad news is most of the group's sales are to a small collection of hyperscalers like Microsoft, Amazon, and Meta Platforms. And should any of these decide their AI infrastructure is sufficiently upgraded or decide to switch to competing cheaper AI chips from the likes of AMD, Nvidia's strong grip on the AI market could start to weaken. Despite the trade-related challenges Nvidia's having to navigate, it remains the industry titan. Its high-performance hardware's backed up by world-class software in the form of its CUDA libraries – a technological advantage that its peers simply don't have. That doesn't mean the firm's immune to disruption. But with shares now trading at a reasonable valuation, it's a stock that definitely seems worthy of a closer look, in my opinion.
