Huge Bose audio sale knocks up to 35% — shop my 7 favorite headphone and speaker deals
Bose is an audio brand that makes some of the best headphones and best Bluetooth speakers on the market. But it's no secret that these high-end audio devices can cost a pretty penny. However, thanks to Amazon's latest sale, you can save up to 35% right now. Whether you're looking for noise-cancelling headphones for back to school season or you're heading to the pool and need a Bluetooth speaker to blast your summer tunes, there's plenty of affordable Bose deals to be had. I personally recommend the Bose SoundLink Flex (Gen 2) for just $129. And when it comes to headphones, you can't go wrong with the Bose QuietComfort Headphones for $229 — a whopping $120 off. We don't know how long these Bose deals will last so we recommend you start shopping ASAP. Keep scrolling to check out the rest of my favorite picks from the sale. The Bose SoundLink (2nd gen) is a compact and powerful Bluetooth speaker with a durable design. This 1.2-pound speaker is water and dust proof and delivered great sound quality in our SoundLink Flex gen 2 review. With 12 hours of battery life and $20 off, you have yourself a great deal. If you want to enhance your TV sound without having speakers spread all over your room, the Bose TV speaker is what you want. It's small but still offers the sound Bose is known for. It's also discounted by $80 right now, which makes it a great deal. While Bose has plenty of other more expensive soundbars to choose from, this one for $199 is as budget-friendly as it gets. The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds (2024) are a fantastic pair of noise-canceling earbuds that don't break the bank. Bose reigns supreme in terms of sound quality and active noise cancellation, and that's very much the case with these mid-range earbuds too. You're getting best-in-class sound quality and ANC — all for just $169. The Bose Ultra Open have perfected the open earbud formula. They have a comfortable, non-invasive fit, solid battery life, and they sound better than you might expect from open buds. They got 4 stars in our Bose Ultra Open Earbuds review, where we loved their simple controls and surprising lack of sound leakage. In our Bose QuietComfort Headphones review, we said these are "excellent always-on noise-cancelers with enhanced sound and battery life." They're missing spatial audio mode and touch controls, but for $120 less, these are nearly perfect. The Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2 take active noise cancellation to the next level. In our Bose QuietComfort Earbuds 2 review, we said these buds are a remarkable follow-up to their predecessors delivering better sound, call quality and unrivaled active noise canceling. Sound balance and noise neutralization work extremely well and the battery life is up to 6 hours, with an extra 24 hours via the charging case. With big sound and a fashionable look, the SoundLink Max is a great portable companion for taking on the go. 20 hours of battery life is a big bonus as well, giving you plenty of listening time.

Australia court rules partly against Apple, Google in Epic Games lawsuit
An Australian court found the smartphone app stores of Apple and Google-owned Android were uncompetitive, local media reported on Tuesday, in a partial victory for Fortnite game developer Epic Games against the tech giants. Amid a years-long legal dispute brought by Epic against the dominant smartphone makers in several jurisdictions around the world, Australia's federal court found the phone makers' app stores had no protections against anti-competitive behavior, the reports said. Epic Games had claimed Apple and Google's fees for downloads of its games were too high, and that the phone makers made it impossible for users to download its alternative app store. The Australian judgment, which ran to 2,000 pages, was not released by the court on Tuesday, but media said a judge's summary included the finding that the smartphone companies had not intentionally breached the law. In a post on X, Epic said the Australian court "just found that Apple and Google abuse their control over app distribution and in-app payments to limit competition." Epic is a U.S.-based games studio with backing from China's Tencent. "The Epic Games Store and Fortnite will come to iOS in Australia!" the Epic post said. "This is a WIN for developers and consumers in Australia!" Apple said in a statement it welcomed the court's rejection of some of Epic's claims, but strongly disagreed with its ruling on others. "Apple faces fierce competition in every market where we operate," the California-based tech giant said. A Google statement said the company welcomed the court's rejection of some Epic Games claims but "we disagree with the court's characterization of our billing policies and practices, as well as its findings regarding some of our historical partnerships, which were all shaped in a fiercely competitive mobile landscape." "We will review the full decision when we receive it and assess our next steps."

Matter 1.4.2 Is Here: What It Means For Your Smart Home
We're used to seeing the Connectivity Standards Alliance drop two Matter updates a year, but we've just been treated to a second one in the space of just 3 months, with a promise of a meatier one to arrive in the Fall. Like the 1.4.1 update that landed in May, the latest Matter update - 1.4.2 - is a 'dot dot' release that isn't focused on new device types, but instead tightening the screws on the standard in order to get closer to the seamless smart home that it aims to deliver. Matter 1.4.2, announced this week by the CSA, focuses on making devices more reliable, security tougher to crack, and setup a little less painful. One of the headline arrivals is Wi-Fi-only commissioning, meaning Matter gadgets can be on-boarded without needing Bluetooth at all. As it stands now, Bluetooth is mandatory for setup, even if it's never used again, which could potentially add extra costs for manufacturers and complexity for buyers. By dropping that requirement, we could see cheaper devices down the line, plus easier firmware-based upgrades for existing Wi-Fi products. It will take time for hubs, speakers, and other Matter Controllers to get the firmware support they need, but the path is there. Security also gets a bump. Controllers can now cryptographically confirm that the 'admins' running your devices are genuine; a proactive move against counterfeit gear slipping into homes. Routers and access points (which were added as supported device types in the 1.4 spec) also get Access Restriction Lists, limiting what platforms can tweak. There's also a new certificate revocation system to flag and block dodgy devices before they even join your network, plus support for 150 Thread devices, 100 Wi-Fi devices, and power-saving features like Target Wake Time. It also lets platforms automatically optimize router settings for smoother device connections. The 1.4.2 update also brings some improvements scenes so they work faster, stay functional when the internet's down, and now support timed actions, which is handy for things like gradual wake-up lighting or slow dim-downs at night. Robot vacuums also get a unified command system, meaning you won't have to cancel a job before starting a new one just because of brand quirks. Under the hood, Matter 1.4.2 tweaks how devices report in, so they're not chattering needlessly and clogging up your network. That should mean better battery life for sensors and quicker responses across the board. Devices with multiple functions, like smart power strips, will now be correctly recognized without showing up twice in your app, and any new features added via firmware should be detected automatically. Like the last 'dot dot' update, there's no exciting news of new device types and it may not sound like the most glamorous update, but it's one that could make your smart home noticeably smoother in the long run. The CSA is definitely focused on getting Matter to where it needs to be and this release gets us another few steps closer. Matter 1.5, which is set to land in the Fall, should add some interesting device types to the mix… fingers crossed for security cameras and video doorbells.
