The Bose SoundTouch 300 Soundbar is one of our top soundbar choices for 2019, especially for its sleek overall design. And now, you can pick up this great soundbar for $200 off retail on Amazon, or just $499. So if you’re looking to upgrade your 4K TV beyond its built-in speaker, this sale makes it a solid time to do so.

While it is aging a bit — we reviewed the original SoundTouch 300 almost two years ago — Bose’s future-forward design aesthetic with generally overall positive performance still makes it a good choice. Its high output capabilities allow it to produce great sound over a large area, and the bass output is especially impressive for a soundbar of its size.

The new version of the SoundTouch 300 also incorporates Alexa support, so this is a real easy way to bring smart assistants into your living room or family room. It also supports both Dolby and DTS surround decoding, as well as the ability to add in rear-surround speakers.

We’d certainly recommend doing so, and Bose’s Virtually Invisible 300 Wireless Surround Speakers are the speakers you’ll want to get. Those are available on Amazon for $299. While not on sale, if you snag these at the same time you pick up the SoundTouch 300, it would be like getting them for only $99.

Are there a few negatives? Sure: our reviewers found vocals in music sounded a bit too thin, and only two inputs are a bit restricting. However for the most typical uses of a soundbar — television and movie watching — this soundbar will do great, and combined with the surround speakers we recommended above, even better.

If the SoundTouch 300 is too expensive for your blood, we have another ongoing soundbar deal that might interest you. Vizio’s 5.1 home theater soundbar system is still on sale for $200 on Amazon, and a great low-cost alternative.

Sure, the sound quality pales in comparison to the SoundTouch 300, but it still performs better than just about any other low-end soundbar on the market. The fact that you get an entire surround sound system and not just the soundbar itself makes it all the more better.

Looking for even more great deals? We’ve found 4K TV deals, Apple AirPods alternatives, and more.

Time to plan for the NCAA Playoffs Bowl Games, where will you watch?

Watch NCAA Playoffs on Sling with football players in view

Are you ready for the college football playoffs?

Sling is offering their Orange or Blue plan for a base price of $45.99, or their Orange or Blue plan with local channels (which may open up games from your favorite local teams) at a price of $50.99, or just $5 more. However, for a limited time you will be able to get either of these plans for half off, a generous offering from a great streaming platform. Tap the button below to check it out for yourself or keep reading to see what games you get with each plan, other goodies that the plans provide, and all of the key information you need to make your choice.

LG for the holidays: Take $400 off the 77-inch LG C3 OLED TV

LG C3 OLED

With Christmas nearly here, we’re guessing there’s at least a handful of shoppers running around stores, scouring aisles for TV deals. And while most of the smaller TVs are at astronomically low prices, the larger, more advanced sets are often still expensive. This is why it’s a great idea to take a look at markdowns on slightly older TVs that are still sold brand-new, like this fantastic LG offer:

For a limited time, when you purchase the LG 77-inch C3 Series OLED through Best Buy, you’ll only pay $1,900. Mind you, this TV once cost $2,300 at full price. We reviewed the LG C3 Series back in 2023, and editor at large Caleb Denison called it “a stellar TV.”

Right now, when you purchase the Beats Studio Pro Wireless Noise-Cancelling Headphones through Best Buy, you’ll only pay $150. At full price, this model sells for $200.
