Everyone might be talking about the recent release of Sonos voice control or the Sonos Ray, but if Sonos’ entry-level soundbar doesn’t seem like a good fit, you can currently find discounts on a range of refurbished speakers in the Sonos catalog. Some of the current deal highlights include the Sonos Arc and Sonos Roam, which are available for $ 719 and $ 139, respectively.<\/p>\n

The Sonos Arc normally sells for $ 900 new, but this refurbished model is available for $ 719. The Arc soundbar is perfect for anyone who wants to improve their home audio setup and offers a number of quality of life features in addition to an excellent sound profile. Like other Sonos soundbars, the Arc is compatible with Apple’s AirPlay 2, supports Google Assistant and Alexa, and is compatible with a variety of audio formats (including Dolby Atmos). <\/p>\n

The Arc uses an eARC-compatible HDMI port that allows for higher quality surround sound profiles and can wirelessly pair with other satellite speakers in the Sonos lineup. However, note that it doesn’t feature HDMI passthrough, so you’ll need an HDMI switcher or similar device to hook up multiple devices. The surround sound features can struggle in larger rooms, too, and the software for tuning audio profiles is only available on Apple devices. Read our review<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

If you need something portable, you can currently get the Sonos Roam for $ 139 instead of its usual price of $ 179. The Bluetooth speaker is equipped with IP67 weatherproofing, making it extremely resistant to dust and water, and is ruggedized to offer protection against drops. Some other helpful features include integration with Google Assistant and Alexa, which allows for hands-free control of playback as well as support for AirPlay 2. While the Roam can be charged wirelessly with the purchase of a dedicated charging pad, it sports a battery life of only around 10 hours, which is slightly below most other Bluetooth speakers.

With Dolby Atmos support and plenty of features, the Sonos Arc is a forward-thinking soundbar that can trounce any TV – and many dedicated speakers – when it comes to sound quality.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The MX Master 3S mouse and MX Mechanical Mini, two of Logitech’s latest productivity peripherals, are both on sale at Amazon right now. The Master 3S normally costs $ 99.99, but is on sale for $ 89, while the MX Mechanical Mini is discounted to $ 133, down $ 11 from its original price of $ 149.99. This isn’t a massive price break for either of these products, but it’s certainly worth looking into considering that they only recently became available.<\/p>\n

The latest in Logitech’s lineup of the MX Master series of productivity mice builds upon an already excellent foundation by offering silent clicks, a more powerful sensor, and the ability to recall Bluetooth pairing to up to three devices. The improved sensor is welcome, but with a polling rate of just 125Hz, the Master 3S clearly isn’t geared toward gamers. Read our review<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The MX Mechanical Mini, on the other hand, is Logitech’s first mechanical keyboard, one that’s focused more on productivity than 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 multidevice Bluetooth pairing, a lengthy battery life, and a function-first design that’s all about clocking in and getting the job done. It’s just a little disappointing that you can’t remap keys to alternate functions. Read our review<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

If you’re looking for an Android tablet, different configurations of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Plus are currently on sale at Amazon and Best Buy. Normally, the base model of the S8 Plus with 128GB of storage costs $ 899.99, but it’s currently on sale for $ 829.99 at Best Buy. If you need a little more space, the 256GB configuration that normally goes for $ 979.99 is discounted to $ 879.99 at Amazon. All of these configurations are discounted to their lowest price ever, which helps mitigate the issues we had with their above-average pricing.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n

The biggest factor that sets the S8 Plus apart from other models in the S8 lineup is the 12.4-inch OLED screen. It still uses the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 CPU as the other slates, the same camera array, and comes packaged with Samsung’s S Pen stylus. Just note that, while the S8 Plus does have configurations that allow for cellular connectivity, these discounts only apply to the Wi-Fi-exclusive configurations. All the models in the Tab S8 lineup are also packed with Android 12 out of the box, but, unfortunately, still suffer from occasional compatibility issues with various Android apps.<\/p>\n

Most of the time, the S8 Plus is a little pricier than your average tablet, a caveat made worse by the lack of an included charger. However, this deal definitely makes a more compelling case for this lightweight and versatile tablet. Read our review<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Amazon is currently offering a rare discount on the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, dropping the price of the licensed accessory from $ 69.99 to $ 54.99. The wireless controller rarely goes on sale – much like everything in Nintendo’s first-party catalog – making it worth checking out if you need a standalone controller for your Nintendo Switch or just a decent Bluetooth controller in general.<\/p>\n

Nintendo’s Joy-Cons are good peripherals for sure, but the Pro Controller is definitely the device of choice for couch-bound gaming. The controller adopts a layout that will seem familiar to fans of PlayStation or Xbox controllers, and although there are plenty of third-party options available that offer a similar form factor, the Pro Controller is the only one of the bunch that currently offers Amiibo support .<\/p>\n

Hanging out poolside or at the beach without a Bluetooth speaker is like going to the gym without headphones – you could, but why bother? Thankfully, you can currently get the Ultimate Ears Boom 3 on sale at Amazon for $ 127.86 instead of $ 149.99, making this a modest but welcome discount on this well-rounded (pun intended) waterfront companion.<\/p>\n

The Boom 3 has an IP67 water resistance rating and is even buoyant enough to float. In addition to its Bluetooth connectivity, the Boom 3 can be linked with a virtually limitless number of other Boom or Wonderboom speakers, allowing you to sync playback across several speakers simultaneously. The Boom 3 offers around 15 hours of playback time as well, but, unfortunately, the Micro USB connection means it can take a while to charge.<\/p>\n
