Best Buy has kicked off another weekend sale with solid deals on a wide range of products. This one runs through Sunday, March 8 at 10 p.m. PT, meaning you just have a few hours left to take advantage these deals. As usual, there are discounts on TVs, headphones and laptops — and a noteworthy deal …

Sorry for the late notice, but Best Buy is having a flash sale — and it’ll be gone in a flash. (It ends tonight at 9:59 p.m. PT, 12:59 a.m. ET.) As usual, the sale encompasses a wide variety of items — TVs, headphones, laptops and so on — many of which have been discounted before. Still, there are some …

Ultimate Ears Boom speakers come in a few different sizes, but none of them are as big as the all-new Hyberboom. A supersize wireless speaker that tips the scales at a hefty 13 pounds, the Hyperboom makes the Megaboom 3 look unquestionably puny. Available in black only at launch, the Hyperboom hits stores in March for $399 (399 euros, AU$599). It’s …

Bluetooth speakers are all well and good, but they have limited range and use audio-compression technology that many audiophiles don’t appreciate. They’re also harder to configure for multiroom setups. Enter Wi-Fi speakers, which hit the scene years ago but never really caught on, for reasons I don’t fully understand. Well, actually, I do: Most of them were premium products with …

Remember when the only way to take some party music on the go was to carry a boombox or to bring your own guitar? In any event, those days are long gone, thanks mainly to Bluetooth portable speakers. They come in all shapes and sizes, but I have a particular fondness for compact speakers that tuck easily into travel bags …

I challenge you to find a better-looking Alexa speaker. Marshall’s lineup of smart voice speakers all shamelessly borrow from the look of the company’s famed amps, but don’t let the retro design fool you. These speakers pack a ton of modern features, including Amazon’s voice assistant Alexa, both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity and multiroom music support. They also feature a …

I love the convenience of Qi (“chee”) charging, which is now an option in most midrange and premium phones. Just lay one on a Qi pad or stand and presto: magic electricity transfer. Of course, that’s one more thing cluttering up your desk, nightstand or whatever. And they’re not the most attractive-looking things, either. Thankfully, wireless charging pads are starting …

A few months back, JBL unleashed a torrent of great speaker deals — most of which sold out quickly. Here’s one that just cropped up again, though I expect a similarly speedy sellout. For a limited time, and while supplies last, the JBL Link 20 portable wireless voice-activated speaker is $59.99. It lists for $229.95, though it appears to be …

As a general rule, you can have Bluetooth speakers or you can have speakers that sound great; it’s rare that you can get both at the same time. That’s what’s so remarkable about the Dynaudio Xeo 2 wireless bookshelf speakers: they sound amazing — good enough to satisfy audiophiles and serve as speakers for active listening, not just background music. …

JBL was responsible for some of the best speaker deals of 2019, and it looks like 2020 will be no different. For a limited time, and while supplies last, the refurbished JBL Link 300 wireless voice-activated speaker is just $59.99. It normally sells for as much as $300, though you’ll more often see it for $250. Based on past experience with …
