best multiroom wireless speaker system

Sonos is our top pick among wireless multiroom speaker systems, and many of Sonos’s speaker options are on steep discount now. In terms of pure savings, the two-pack of Sonos One SL speakers is the best of the bunch: You’ll net a nearly 40% discount when you factor in the $10 Amazon gift card it comes with. You can also get a single One SL for 25% off. We praise these speakers for their great sound, but be aware that the SL series lacks voice-assistant control. You get voice control with the similarly great-sounding Sonos One and the larger Sonos Five, which is powerful enough to fill big spaces with music. Wireless systems like these are by far the easiest way to bring your favorite albums, podcasts, and broadcasts into every room where you want to hear them.

Deal price:

best headphones for running

Our top pick for the best headphones for running, the Poly (formerly Plantronics) BackBeat Fit 3150 features durable, securely fitting earbuds that were an easy favorite among our testers. They also help keep you safe by allowing some outside noise through so that you can hear traffic and other potential perils while you exercise outdoors. This $100 pricing pops up every once in a while, and it matches the previous low. The less-expensive Poly BackBeat Fit 2100 earbuds are equally durable and sweat resistant and offer the same great audio quality, but they’re connected by a headband (versus two independent buds), and you have to plug them into a cable for charging. If that doesn’t bother you, they’re a great, more affordable choice.

best Bluetooth wireless headphones

If you’re interested in upgrading your audio experience, this big price drop offers an excellent chance to save on our top Bluetooth wireless-headphones pick. The Jabra Elite 85h has exceptional sound quality for music and movies—the best we’ve found among noise-cancelling wireless headphones. Although the active noise cancellation isn’t as effective as that of other ANC headphones, it’s more than good enough to satisfy most needs. A long battery life, intuitive setup, and easily accessible controls complete the package. And each of the four finishes is discounted.

Combining quality sound, sweat and dust resistance, and a battery life of more than seven hours, the true wireless Jabra Elite Active 75t earbuds will outlast even the longest workouts. They’re the top pick in our guide to the best workout headphones, and unlike some Bluetooth earbuds, these earbuds don’t have a cord between them that can tangle, make noise, or bang against your neck annoyingly when you run or jump, and they’ll stay comfortably in your ears throughout your reps. If the Jabra set’s price is making you sweat even before your warm-up, the Koss FitClips KSC32i are a great corded pair, with a hook-over-the-ear design that’s comfortable and secure.

best portable Bluetooth speaker

Matching the lowest price we've seen, our top portable Bluetooth speaker pick, the UE Wonderboom 2, is down to $50 (or $45 each for Costco members who buy a pack of two). We don’t see deals like this often—the last time was in February—so jump on it if you’ve been waiting for one. The Wonderboom 2 was the consensus best in our blind tests, with clear vocals and adequate bass. And because the Wonderboom 2 is highly water resistant (submersible to 1 meter), rugged (can survive falls off camp tables), buoyant (canoe friendly), and compact (about the size of a grapefruit), it’s a great companion for outdoor adventures. The larger, louder Megaboom 3 is also available at a deep discount.

best Bluetooth wireless headphones

The Sony WH-1000XM4 Bluetooth wireless headphones (with an included portable power bank) is back down to $278, matching the lowest price we’ve seen. This is another terrific pair of headphones—an also-great pick in our guide to the best Bluetooth headphones—and it comes with a bunch of useful features, including an automatic speak-to-chat function that cuts your music when you make a call. With a bit of fiddling of the equalizer, you can make these headphones sound excellent, too. One downside: This set isn’t as effective as cancelling airplane noise compared to some competitors.

(eBay)Deal price:

$250

; street price: $300Read our review of the

best noise-cancelling headphones

For pure noise-cancelling performance, the Bose 700 headphones are Wirecutter’s top pick (and “the best wireless noise-cancelling headphones set that Bose has ever released,” as our guide writer notes). This sale matches the lowest price we’ve ever seen (albeit in only the white or soapstone color). These headphones are lightweight and comfortable to wear for long periods, and you can adjust the noise cancellation on a 0-to-10 scale—a useful feature, not only because you don’t always want or need maximum sound blocking but also because many people experience “eardrum suck,” or a feeling akin to having your ears pop during a flight, when noise cancellation is too aggressive. The audio quality isn’t as good as that of other headphones listed here, however, so if sound quality is a bigger priority than noise cancellation, look to the other deals first.

best noise-cancelling headphones

The TaoTronics TT-BH042, our budget pick for the best noise-cancelling earbuds, are pretty affordable on a normal day, but this is the lowest price we’ve seen for them. While the pair’s noise-cancelling performance was mediocre in our tests, it’s still useful. There’s no option to use these headphones in wired mode, but the TT-BH042 makes up for such shortcomings by offering good sound quality and a flexible lightweight band that makes it comfortable to wear for long listening periods.

Marshall Woburn II

Deal price:

$300

; street price: $425Read our review of the

best home Bluetooth speaker

Our upgrade pick for the best home Bluetooth speaker, the Marshall Woburn II, is down to $300 in all colors—matching the low we’ve seen for this model. In our guide, we call it the “muscle car” of home Bluetooth speakers because it delivers powerful bass that smaller speakers can’t achieve. (We can confirm: The Woburn II in Wirecutter’s test kitchen rattles the silverware drawers when it’s cranked up.) Both the Woburn II and the smaller Acton II, which is also at a nice discount, are larger than our other portable Bluetooth speaker picks, however—they’re more practical for use around the home and yard than for the campground or beach.

best surround-sound speakers for most people

Designed for serious home theater enthusiasts who like to watch movies near the volume typically reserved for well-calibrated commercial cinemas, the Monolith by Monoprice is our upgrade pick for surround-sound speakers. The THX-365C center speaker adds a midrange driver that lower-priced options usually lack, so dialogue sounds clear no matter where you’re sitting in a room.

If you’re looking specifically for a wireless gaming headset we recommend getting the HyperX Cloud Flight S. It’s super comfortable, with a decent mic, a reliable connection, and 30 hours of battery life. The Cloud Flight S also has some useful extra features such as mic monitoring and chat balance, as well as some nice-to-have ones like Qi charging and surround sound.

Amazon Echo Buds + six months of Amazon Music Unlimited

Deal price:

$80

; street price: $130Read our review of the

best wireless Bluetooth earbuds

A notable competition option, these earbuds will appeal to folks who primarily rely on the Amazon ecosystem. When they’re connected to your phone, the Echo Buds’ always-listening Alexa function makes them an Echo device you can wear. Matching the previous low we've seen, this bundle also comes with six months of free Amazon Music Unlimited. Note that the subscription automatically renews after six months, so if you decide you don’t wish to continue with the service, be sure to cancel to avoid being billed.

Amazon Echo Dot (pack of two)

Deal price:

; street price: $100Read our guide to the

best Alexa speakers

The Amazon Echo Dot is our upcoming budget pick for the best Alexa smart speaker, and if you’re already looking to invest in more than one, you can grab two for the price of one with this deal from Best Buy and Amazon. (On Amazon, add two speakers to your cart and use promo code

DOT2PACK

.) The Dot is a great way to bring Alexa into other parts of your house on the cheap, but the speaker quality isn’t top notch. If that’s not a big concern, you’ll be able to use this model to stream music, make calls, and send messages. This is a good chance to get ahead of the game before we update our official guide.

Beats Solo3

(Woot)Deal price:

; street price: $175Read our review of the

best Bluetooth wireless headphones

Beats Solo3 headphones are a good Bluetooth option that pair easily, have a 40-hour battery life, and offer nice highs and mids with a slight bass boost. A notable competition option from our Bluetooth headphones guide, our writers specifically like this model only when you can find it under $150, so this is a nice chance to save if you’ve had your eye on a pair.

Fosi Audio BT20A

Deal price:

$65

; street price: $78Read our review of the

best mini stereo amplifier

A mini stereo amplifier is designed for someone who wants to build a great-sounding stereo system that takes up very little space and even less cash. We think our top pick, the Fosi Audio BT20A, is the best way to get started. Its sound is loud enough to fill a large room, and it includes features such as Bluetooth connectivity and tone controls. This rare discount represents a new low price of $63 (down from $78) when you clip the on-page coupon.

Polk Signature Series S15

Deal price:

$115

; street price: $200Read our review of the

best surround-sound speakers for most people

A pick from our guides to the best surround-sound speakers and the best gear to build your own home theater, the Polk Signature Series S15 speakers are available once again for $115. These bookshelf speakers are an instant upgrade to the tinny sound of built-in TV speakers, providing rich, clear audio. The S15 set typically sells out fast at this price, so jump on the deal if you’ve been thinking about upgrading.

best noise-cancelling headphones

A notable-competition option with noise-cancelling features that rank among the best available, the QuietComfort 35 Series II set is once again available for $200, matching the previous low. These Bose headphones are extremely comfortable and sounded great in our tests. However, they lack the adjustable noise cancellation of the 700 series, which helps prevent the eardrum-suck phenomenon.

Onanoff BuddyPhones Explore

Deal price:

$21 with on-page coupon

; street price: $25Read our review of the

best kids headphones

Down to $21 when you clip the on-page coupon, this is a new low price for our runner-up pick for the best kids headphones. Although the BuddyPhones don’t have the best sound quality, these corded headphones are a comfortable and lightweight option for toddlers. A young child will quickly outgrow just about everything, but we think this pick strikes a nice balance of quality and affordability, so you’ll still feel like you’ve gotten your money’s worth on this purchase despite the shorter life span.

TaoTronics TT-BR009

Deal price:

$16 with on-page coupon

; street price: $26Read our review of the

best Bluetooth headphone adapter

If you love your wired headphones but also want the option of using them with a Bluetooth device, a Bluetooth adapter is a simple solution. Now down to $16 for Prime members when you clip the on-page coupon, this discount is the best we’ve seen on our runner-up pick. The TT-BR009 sounds nearly as good as a wired connection and has a nearly 15-hour battery life. The only design gripe we have is that there’s no clip, so it can be hard to use this when you’re on the move.

Koss Porta Pro

Deal price:

$20

; street price: $35Read our review of the

best headphones

A former pick and longtime classic for the audiophile on a budget, the Koss Porta Pro headphones are back down to their previous low of $20. Although you may experience some sound leakage, this is an overall solid deal on a good pair of wired headphones.

Skullcandy Sesh Evo

Deal price:

$25

; street price: $60Read our review of the

best wireless Bluetooth earbuds

Back down to the lowest price we’ve seen, these comfortable, water-resistant earbuds feature solid sound quality, a five-hour battery life, and Tile integration. Due to reported issues with the USB-C charging case, we did temporarily pull these from our guide earlier this year but reinstated them after Skullcandy assured us the issue has been resolved and that all defective cases are out of circulation. If you want to try them out, this is a great deal that includes a two-year warranty and eligibility for the company’s lost-earbud exchange program.
