Forget Earbuds, JBL Soundbar With Wireless Subwoofer Is Now Cheaper Than AirPods Pro 2
Why just hear music when you can feel it? JBL Soundbar is now at its lowest price on Amazon. Let's be honest. Your TV's built-in speakers probably aren't cutting it. And that's okay, because those types of speakers generally aren't very good. You get muffled dialogue, flat action scenes, and lackluster music. And for some people, setting up a full surround sound system can feel like too much. It's too many wires, too many speakers, too much money. If you still want decent sound but don't want complicated setup times and an extremely expensive entry price, a soundbar should be at the top of your list. Right now, you can head to Amazon to grab the JBL Bar for just $200, which is $100 off its normal price of $300. That's a discount of 33%. See at Amazon A soundbar that can take the place of surround sound This is a two-piece system. You get a soundbar that sits in front of your TV and a wireless subwoofer. Together, both serve up a punchy 300 watts of power, which is more than enough to fill a living room with crisp highs, clear dialogue, and deep, punchy bass. The sub makes a real difference and connects wirelessly to deliver targeted bass wherever you think you might need it most in the room. It supports Dolby Digital and features JBL's Surround Sound processing, which simulates a wider, more immersive audio experience without needing extra rear speakers. You won't get true surround sound, but for most users, the effect feels cinematic enough, and it's way more convenient than setting up a whole surround system when you don't have the time or money. Or maybe it's the patience you don't have. Setup is fairly quick. It uses HDMI ARC to connect to your TV, but it also has optical and Bluetooth options. You can stream from your phone directly to your soundbar as well. You can use Bluetooth to get it set up, and swap between connections from there if you want to use something else to listen or watch with. This soundbar is super easy to set up right out of the box, and it won't cost you very much to invest in. Remember that it's just $200, saving you $100 off its normal price, and that's nothing to sneeze at. If you want a better sound setup at home and don't want to spend too much money, this really is the way to go. You'll have more space, you'll enjoy what you watch more, and your home will feel more like an entertainment epicenter. See at Amazon

The Roku Streambar SE — the perfect soundbar for a dorm room — is only $80 today
If you're tired of your old TV's lackluster audio and lack of smart TV features, today's the day you'll be able to kill two birds with one stone. The Roku Streambar SE is on sale at Walmart for only $80, which is a $20 markdown from its $100 retail.

Just connect to your TV via HDMI ARC and all component audio (meaning whatever is plugged into your TV) will route audio through the new soundbar. Ideal for smaller to mid-sized TVs, the Streambar SE delivers crisp-clear vocals and dialogue, so you'll never miss vital plot points. You'll also be able to switch between Movie, Music, and other presets for further fine-tuning. The Streambar SE must be connected to Wi-Fi in order to access apps and other web features, but the soundbar has a Bluetooth input, too.

The Streambar's built-in bass port does a nice job at spotlighting low end performance, but those looking for deep bass will want to pick up a Roku Wireless Bass down the line, or invest in a soundbar that comes with a wireless sub.
