Epic Bose sale knocks up to $120 off headphones and speakers — 7 audio deals worth shopping now
In celebration of the upcoming school year, Bose is hosting a back to school sale on Amazon with up to 35% off. If you're in the market for a speaker, I recommend the Bose SoundLink Flex (Gen 2) for just $129. When it comes to headphones, you can't go wrong with the Bose QuietComfort Headphones for $229, which are $120 off.
Whether you're looking for noise-cancelling headphones to help you focus during your study session or you want a new speaker for your dorm room, these Bose deals are the way to go. Keep scrolling to check out the rest of my favorite picks from the sale.
The SoundLink Micro is a compact, portable speaker you can take on the road. The Bluetooth speaker is waterproof (IPX7 certified) and offers up to 6 hours of play time off a single charge. It can also be paired with another SoundLink speaker to create a stereo mode.
The new 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.
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 $149.
The Bose Ultra Open 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 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 ANC. 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.

Why Nvidia Could Be the Biggest Tech Winner of the 'One Big Beautiful Bill'
Key Takeaways Certain tax changes within the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, enacted earlier this month, could incentivize tech giants to increase their spending on Nvidia chips and other AI infrastructure in coming years. The ability to immediately write off certain capital investments is expected to increase Amazon, Alphabet, and Meta Platforms' free cash flows by nearly $50 billion in 2025. Alphabet last week raised its full-year capital expenditures forecast, citing the need to increase AI investments to meet booming this month, Nvidia became the first company in history to be valued at $4 trillion, a figure that could look paltry in coming years if the recently enacted One Big Beautiful Bill Act is the tailwind some on Wall Street think it could be. The bill, signed into law by President Donald Trump on July 4, allows the immediate depreciation of capital investments that previously were written off over years. Morgan Stanley expects that and related depreciation changes to raise Amazon (AMZN), Alphabet (GOOGL), and Meta Platforms' (META) collective free cash flows by nearly $49.5 billion this year and about $29.2 billion in 2026. Analysts expect the tech giants will invest those savings in infrastructure as they race to meet booming demand for artificial intelligence and cloud computing. "In our view these tax benefits could be designed to incentivize/enable the leading US tech companies to invest even more aggressively in GenAI in order to keep the US in a secure position in the global GenAI race," wrote Morgan Stanley analyst Brian Nowak in a note on Sunday. AI Investment 'Yet To Hit Full Stride' Hyperscalers Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet, and Meta have cumulatively spent hundreds of billions of dollars on AI infrastructure in the past few years. Yet executives repeatedly have said their cloud computing and AI businesses cannot keep up with demand. The ability to deduct AI investments in the year they're made will likely incentivize tech giants to increase those investments, both to increase computing capacity and to save on taxes. Less than a month after OBBBA was passed, there already are signs that AI investment could pick up this year. Last week, Google's parent, Alphabet, the first of the four hyperscalers to report second-quarter earnings, raised its capital expenditures forecast by $10 billion, or about 13%. That, according to Morgan Stanley analyst Joseph Moore, is evidence that "demand for GPUs has yet to hit full stride in 2025." Nvidia Expected To Retain Majority of AI Spend Nvidia has been the biggest beneficiary of AI investment. The chip maker's quarterly revenue has more than quintupled in the last two years, reaching a record $44 billion in the first quarter of the current fiscal year. Nvidia's chips are one of the largest expenses for tech giants building data centers, and the company's share of the fast-growing pie is expected to get bigger in the coming years. BofA forecasts AI accelerators will account for more than 65% of all data center spending by 2030, up from about 38% in 2024. And Nvidia is expected to command about 80% market share over that period. Read the original article on Investopedia Sign in to access your portfolio

Earnings live: Microsoft, Meta stocks surge; Robinhood beats; Ford warns on tariff exposure
Second quarter earnings season is in full swing, and the results have been largely positive so far, with more positive surprises than negative ones. Companies had a lower bar to clear coming into the quarter, as analysts tempered their expectations amid President Trump's tariffs, stocks' lofty valuations, and uncertainty about the health of the US economy. This week, investors will be treated to another flurry of quarterly results from Big Tech companies, including Microsoft (MSFT), Apple (AAPL), Meta (META), and Amazon (AMZN). This week's reports also include updates from Spotify (SPOT), Ford (F), Procter & Gamble (PG), Boeing (BA), Starbucks (SBUX), and Qualcomm (QCOM), among others. Data from FactSet published Friday showed that with 34% of the index having reported results, analysts expect S&P 500 companies to report a 5.6% jump in earnings per share during the second quarter. Heading into the quarter, analysts expected S&P 500 earnings to rise 5% in Q2, which would mark the slowest pace of earnings growth since the fourth quarter of 2023. Here are the latest updates from corporate America. Microsoft posts Q4 beats on top and bottom lines on cloud, AI strength Microsoft (MSFT) stock climbed 6% after hours after the tech giant posted strong earnings and cloud strength. Here's what Microsoft reported compared to consensus estimates compiled by Bloomberg: Yahoo Finance's Dan Howley reports that Intelligent Cloud segment revenue, which includes Microsoft's Azure business, topped out at $29.8 billion. Analysts were looking for $29.09 billion. Read more here. Meta beats Q2 expectations, stock jumps on better than anticipated Q3 outlook Facebook parent Meta (META) outperformed expectations in the June quarter and offered a better-than-expected outlook for Q3 as investors search for clarity on the company's superintelligence and AI strategy. Revenue of $47.5 billion surpassed analyst expectations for $44.83 billion, according to Bloomberg consensus estimates. During the same period last year, Meta brought in revenue of $39.07 billion. For the quarter, the company saw earnings per share of $7.14, compared to estimates of $5.89 and EPS of $5.16 for the same quarter a year ago. Advertising revenue was $46.5 billion, compared to an expected $44.07 billion. The company's Reality Labs segment lost $4.5 billion, compared to expectations of a $4.8 billion loss. For the third quarter, Meta forecast revenue of $47.5 billion to $50 billion, higher than the Street's estimate of $46.5 billion. Meta stock surged 10% after hours. Meta's results come as the company has supercharged its artificial hiring and spending spree. On Friday, CEO Mark Zuckerberg named former OpenAI ( researcher Shengjia Zhao as chief scientist of Meta's Superintelligence Lab. Read more here. Arm announces it will develop own chips, forecast fails to impress Chip architecture provider Arm Holdings (ARM) announced it will invest in making its own chips, marking a major shift to its model of licensing chip blueprints to other companies. Reuters reports: Revenue increased 14% during the quarter to $1.05 billion, coming in just shy of Wall Street's estimates. Earnings per share were $0.35, in line with estimates. Arm expects current-quarter revenue between $1.01 billion and $1.11 billion, disappointing investors hoping for a greater artificial intelligence boost. Shares fell 8% after the market close on Wednesday. Rad more here. MGM Resorts quarterly revenue rises on sports betting strength Reuters reports: Read more here. Qualcomm posts revenue and earnings beat on strong auto, IoT revenue Qualcomm (QCOM) stock slipped 4% after hours despite the chip designer posting a revenue and earnings beat for its fiscal third quarter.

Qualcomm forecast revenue of $10.3 billion to $11.1 billion for the fourth quarter, in line with estimates for the midpoint of that range. "Another quarter of strong growth in QCT Automotive and IoT revenues further validates our diversification strategy and confidence in achieving our long-term revenue targets,' CEO Cristiano Amon said in the release. 'Our leadership in AI processing, high-performance and low-power computing and advanced connectivity positions us to become the industry platform of choice as AI gains scale at the edge.' Listen to the earnings call live here. Ford reports Q2 earnings beat but takes $800M tariff hit Ford (F) posted an earnings and revenue beat for the second quarter and reinstated full-year guidance. However, the automaker upped its full-year tariff exposure after seeing $800 million in tariff costs in Q2 alone. Yahoo Finance's Pras Subramanian reports: Read more here. Robinhood Q2 results likely boosted by strong trading activity Robinhood (HOOD) reported strong results as market volatility and the return of meme stocks fueled investor activity on the platform. Options contracts traded on Robinhood increased 32% year over year to a record 515 million, the company said. The company also appeared to benefit from new product launches, including tokenized stocks. For the quarter, Robinhood's net revenue was $989 million, versus the Street's estimate of $921.5 million, per Bloomberg consensus data. Earnings per share came in at $0.42, higher than the $0.34 per share estimated. Robinhood stock oscillated after hours as investors digested the results.
