Cyber Monday has brought tons of promos and discounts to the greater world of consumer tech. And while we’ve seen our fair share of Cyber Monday soundbar deals, one of the best markdowns has got to be this extraordinary markdown on the Sonos Beam (Gen 2): For a limited time, you’ll be able to purchase the Beam (Gen 2) for only $370. At full price, this model sells for $500.

We tested the Sonos Beam (Gen 2) a while ago, and AV expert Simon Cohen had the following to say: “Dolby Atmos adds a splash of 3D fun to an already excellent soundbar.”

Why you should buy the Sonos Beam (Gen 2)

There are two great reasons to go for the Sonos Beam (Gen 2). First and foremost, it’s a Dolby Atmos soundbar. As long as your TV has an HDMI ARC/eARC connection, any audio received by your TV can be routed through the Sonos Beam. And if what you’re watching happens to be encoded for Dolby Atmos, the Beam will output some compelling floor-to-ceiling 3D sound. The Beam (Gen 2) also accepts traditional stereo and surround sound formats, like PCM and Dolby Digital Plus.

Another big reason to go for the Beam (Gen 2) is how easy it is to integrate the soundbar into an existing Sonos system. With the Sonos app, you’ll be able to group the Beam in with other Sonos speakers, send TV audio to different parts of your home, and so much more. Setup, updates, and other Sonos exclusives are tucked away in the Sonos app, making the extra bit of software a must.

This 26% off sale ends Cyber Monday at midnight, so be sure to buy before it’s too late. Save $130 when you purchase the Sonos Beam (Gen 2) for Cyber Monday.

The Sonos Arc soundbar just hit its lowest price ever at Amazon

Christmas Day is in less than two weeks, which means we’re all running out of time to dazzle our loved ones with incredible gifts. We bet you’ve been working hard, too, perusing store aisles and doing research online for hours on end, so we thought you might want to treat yourself (and your family, of course) to an incredible Sonos markdown:

Right now, when you purchase the much-lauded Sonos Arc Soundbar, you’ll only pay $600. This Dolby Atmos system usually isn’t on sale, so it’s definitely one of the best soundbar deals you’re going to find all week. In fact, it's the lowest price the Arc has ever been at Amazon. We tested this soundbar, and reviewer Simon Cohen called the Arc “the Swiss Army knife of soundbars.”

Post Cyber Monday savings: Take $1,200 off the Samsung 65-inch QN90D

When it comes to top-selling TVs, a brand you can always trust is Samsung. The company makes exceptional LEDs, QLEDs, OLEDs, and even QD-OLEDs, and we’re always on the lookout for the best Samsung TV deals. And guess what? We came across a fantastic offer on Samsung QLEDs just earlier today. Right now, when you purchase the Samsung 65-inch QN90D, you’ll only spend $1,500. While that still may sound expensive, let us remind you that the list price of this model is $2,700. We actually reviewed the 98-inch version of this Sammy QLED a while ago, and our TV expert, Caleb Denison, said it best: “The QN90D series is excellent, but the 98-inch model fell apart for us.”

Why you should buy the Samsung 65-inch QN90D
Spec-wise, the 65-inch QN90D is a high-performance QLED with mini-LED lighting. Resolution tops out at 4K, and the native refresh rate is as high as 144Hz, which is excellent for PC gamers. HDMI 2.1, VRR, and ALLM are standard across all inputs, too. That way, you’ll always be getting the best frame-to-frame speeds and the lowest input lag possible. The QN90D also supports all modern HDR formats, including Dolby Vision and HDR10+.

Post Cyber Monday savings: Take $50 off the JBL Tour Pro 3 at Best Buy

JBL Tour Pro 3 and Tour Pro 2 earbuds.

We here at Digital Trends have been covering noise-cancelling earbuds and headphones for years on end, and it’s an exciting field to stay on top of. Audio companies are all about ingenuity, and it’s been a thrill to watch in-ear and over-ear tech evolve so much, even in just the last year or so! Not long ago, we were able to test the JBL Tour Pro 3 Noise-Cancelling Earbuds, and AV expert Simon Cohen had the following to say: “For those who want it all, the JBL Tour Pro 3 have an unbeatable set of features.” Today, when you purchase the JBL Tour Pro 3 through Amazon, Best Buy, or Walmart, you’ll only pay $250. At full price, these earbuds go for $300.

Why you should buy the JBL Tour Pro 3
We loved taking the JBL Tour Pro 2 earbuds for a test drive, and we had an even better experience with the Tour Pro 3. The dual-driver design helps to achieve a greater balance between highs, mids, and lows without overpowering any part of the mix you’re listening to. Throw in strong ANC, support for hi-res codecs (LDAC and LC3plus), optional wired listening, and an IP55 rating, and it becomes clear why we gave the Tour Pro 3 buds a solid 4 out of 5 stars.
