Today, Sonos offers up to $ 180 off on refurbished soundbars and smart speakers

Everyone can talk about the recent release of Sonos or Sonos Ray voice control, but if the basic Sonos soundbar doesn’t seem right to you, you can currently find discounts on a number of refurbished speakers in the Sonos catalog. Some of the current benefits include Sonos Arc and Sonos Roam, which are available for $ 719 and $ 139.

The new Sonos Arc normally sells for $ 900, but this refurbished model is available for $ 719. The Soundbar Arc is ideal for anyone who wants to improve their home sound settings and, in addition to an excellent sound profile, offers a number of quality assurance features. Like other Sonos sound panels, Arc is compatible with Apple AirPlay 2, supports Google Assistant and Alexa, and is compatible with a variety of audio formats (including Dolby Atmos).

The Arc uses an eARC-compatible HDMI port for higher quality surround sound profiles and can be paired wirelessly with other Sonos satellite speakers. However, keep in mind that it does not support HDMI passthrough, so you will need an HDMI switch or similar device to connect more devices. Surround sound features can be difficult in larger rooms, and audio profile tuning software is only available on Apple devices. Read our review.

If you need something portable, you can currently get a Sonos Roam for $ 139 instead of its usual price of $ 179. The Bluetooth speaker is equipped with weather resistance IP67, which makes it extremely resistant to dust and water and is durable to provide protection against falls. Other useful features include integration with Google Assistant and Alexa, which allows hands-free playback control, as well as support for AirPlay 2. The roam can be charged wirelessly by purchasing a special charging pad, but it has battery life. only around 10 o’clock, which is slightly less than most other Bluetooth speakers. Read our review.

The MX Master 3S and MX Mechanical Mini, two of Logitech’s latest productive peripherals, are now on sale on Amazon. The Master 3S normally costs $ 99.99, but is on sale for $ 89, while the MX Mechanical Mini is discounted at $ 133, which is $ 11 less than the original price of $ 149.99. None of these products are a massive price drop, but it’s definitely worth considering that they were only recently available.

The latest in the Logitech MX Master line of productive mice builds on an already excellent foundation by offering quiet clicks, a more powerful sensor and the ability to pair Bluetooth with up to three devices. An improved sensor is welcome, but with a polling frequency of only 125 Hz, the Master 3S is clearly not aimed at players. Read our review.

MX Mechanical Mini, on the other hand, is Logitech’s first mechanical keyboard, which focuses more on productivity than on gaming. This low-profile keyboard uses a 75 percent layout and is equipped with tactile switches for an excellent typing experience. The Mechanical Mini features multi-device Bluetooth pairing, long battery life and a premium timing and completion design. It’s just a little disappointing that you can’t remap keys to alternate functions. Read our review.

If you are looking for an Android tablet, various Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Plus configurations are currently on sale on Amazon and Best Buy. The basic S8 Plus model with 128GB storage normally costs $ 899.99, but is currently on sale for $ 829.99 at Best Buy. If you need a little more space, the 256GB configuration, which normally costs $ 979.99, is discounted to $ 879.99 on Amazon. All of these configurations are discounted at the lowest price ever, which helps alleviate the problems we have had with their above-average prices.

The biggest factor that distinguishes the S8 Plus from other models in the S8 series is the 12.4-inch OLED display. It still uses the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 processor as the other slate, the same array of cameras, and comes with the Samsung S Pen. Just note that while the S8 Plus has configurations that allow mobile connectivity, these discounts only apply to exclusive Wi-Fi configurations. All models in the Tab S8 series are also equipped with Android 12 unpacked, but unfortunately they still suffer from occasional compatibility issues with various Android applications.

Most of the time, the S8 Plus is a bit more expensive than your average tablet, which is even worse due to the absence of the included charger. However, this offer definitely makes the case more convincing for this light and versatile tablet. Read our review.

Amazon currently offers a rare discount on the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller and reduces the price of licensed accessories from $ 69.99 to $ 54.99. The wireless controller is rarely sold – like everything in Nintendo’s first page catalog – so it’s worth finding out if you need a separate controller for your Nintendo Switch or just a decent Bluetooth controller in general.

Nintendo Joy-Cons are definitely good peripherals, but Pro Controller is definitely the choice for playing on the couch. The driver has a layout that will seem familiar to PlayStation or Xbox fans, and although there are plenty of third-party options that offer a similar form factor, the Pro driver is the only one in the line that currently offers Amiibo support. .

Hanging out at the pool or on the beach without a Bluetooth speaker is like going to the gym without headphones – you can, but why bother? Fortunately, you can currently get the Ultimate Ears Boom 3 on sale on Amazon for $ 127.86 instead of $ 149.99, which makes it a modest but welcome discount on this well-rounded waterfront companion.

Boom 3 has a degree of water resistance IP67 and is even floating enough to float. In addition to Bluetooth, Boom 3 can be connected to a virtually unlimited number of other Boom or Wonderboom speakers, allowing you to synchronize playback across multiple speakers at once. The Boom 3 also offers approximately 15 hours of playback, but unfortunately the Micro USB connection means that charging can take a while.

We consider the Bose QuietComfort headphones to be one of the best pairs of real wireless headphones you can buy right now, and they are currently available for $ 199 on Amazon and Best Buy instead of their usual $ 279. This is the lowest price we have seen for these excellent in-ear headphones that offer some of the best noise cancellation in their class. In addition to amazing sound quality, QuietComfort headphones are extremely comfortable and come with various earbuds for a secure fit.

If you are looking for a new pair of noise canceling headphones, it is difficult to beat the Bose QuietComfort headphones at this price, but there are some disadvantages that you should keep in mind. The charging case is able to refill the headphones several times than it needs to be charged, but it is larger than most other headphone cases. They also lack a multipoint Bluetooth connection, which is becoming a more common feature with newer headphones. However, if you are willing to ignore these warnings, we strongly recommend that you take a look at these platform agnostic buds. Read our review.

If you run out of space on your PC or PlayStation 5, the 2TB WD Black SN850 SSD is currently available for $ 255.99 at Best Buy. This is the lowest price we’ve seen on this drive, which usually costs $ 429.99. It’s a bit expensive, but it compresses a lot of storage on one disc and this model is equipped with a heatsink that makes it compatible with the Sony PlayStation 5.

M.2 SSDs like the SN850 are much easier to install than older storage methods, allowing you to plug them into a motherboard or other device with an M.2 slot without the need for cables. SSDs also offer much faster transfer rates than older SATA storage methods, allowing for fast file transfers and faster game loading.

You can also find discounts on the 1TB model at Best Buy and B&H Photo for $ 159.99 and 500 GB at $ 94.99 at Best Buy and B&H Photo. These are good options if you need a drive with a cheaper entry fee, but the 2TB model is the best value of the whole range.

• If all your phone chargers have somehow grown, you can currently get a double pack of 20W Anker’s PowerPort Nano chargers for $ 19.99 at Costco. This package usually costs $ 29.99 and is ideal for charging smartphones, but note that 20 watts will not be enough for smoother devices such as the Nintendo Switch or most laptops.
• For some of us, summer has already begun, which means it’s time to relax more and clean up our own clutter. Fortunately, one of our favorite robotic vacuum cleaners, the iRobot Roomba i3 Plus EVO, is currently on sale for $ 399 at Wellbots and Amazon. This self-emptying robotic vacuum cleaner normally costs $ 549, which is the best price we’ve ever seen on this automated cat taxi so far.
