Yes, the holiday season is now behind us as we continue our trek into 2015, but that doesn’t mean the Chromecast, Google’s little HDMI media streamer that could, won’t receive any more deals. Case in point: Best Buy is offering the dongle for $30, and there’s a few more bonuses thrown in, too.

That $5 discount is accompanied by $20 in Google Play Store credit, as well as two months of Hulu Plus, and three months of Google Play Music All Access. If all of this sounds eerily familiar, that’s because we saw a similar offering during the holidays. This time around, however, the offers appear to be exclusive to Best Buy.

Of course, if you’re already a subscriber of either Hulu Plus or Google Play Music All Access, you might not get that bonus. In addition, there’s no mention that the offers can be attained through an in-store purchase, so you’ll have to order your Chromecast from Best Buy’s website.

The Google Play credit will arrive in the form of an email, which could take anywhere from half an hour to 8 hours to arrive in your inbox. Finally, you have until the end of January to set up the Chromecast in order to redeem the offers. If you set it up on February 1, you’re out of luck. You can grab the deal now on Best Buy’s website.

This Vizio soundbar bundle is $300 off in Best Buy’s sale
The Vizio Elevate soundbar in a home theater setup.

While there are soundbar deals that you can get for extremely cheap, you're going to have to shell out a bit more money if you want excellent audio and top-class features. Here's an offer with amazing value -- the Vizio Elevate 5.1.4-channel soundbar for $700, following a $300 discount from Best Buy on its original price of $1,000. There's no telling how much time you've got remaining to take advantage of this bargain though, so if you're interested in this unique soundbar, you're going to have to make your purchase right now.

Why you should buy the Vizio Elevate 5.1.4-channel soundbar
The Vizio Elevate 5.1.4-channel soundbar is in our roundup of the best soundbars as the best Dolby Atmos soundbar for less than $1,000 -- a description that fits it even better with the savings from Best Buy. As the brand's flagship soundbar, it should be considered by everybody for their home theater setup because of its elegant design and powerful audio system. Our guide on how to buy a soundbar explains the numbers in its name -- there are five channels, namely the standard left and right channels, a center channel for clearer dialogue, and two more channels for surround sound. The "1" means it comes with a wireless subwoofer, and the "4" means it supports Dolby Atmos and DTS: X with four dedicated drivers that fire upwards at the ceiling to create an enveloping effect of sound.

AirPods Max are $100 off in Best Buy’s last minute Father’s Day Sale
A pair of blue AirPods Max sitting on a table.

Apple deals are always worth a gander, and this one is just in time for Father’s Day! Right now, you can purchase the Apple AirPods Max from Best Buy for $450. That’s a $100 markdown from the headsets’ $550 retail, and we seldom see these cans on sale. If you’ve been looking for headphone deals, this is one of the best you’re going to find. 

Why you should buy the AirPods Max
Available in five different colors, the AirPods Max are some of the best noise cancelling headphones we’ve ever tested. These sleek-looking place as much importance on cosmetics as they do performance. With memory foam cushioning on the earcups and a padded headband, you’ll be able to wear the Max for long periods of time without discomfort setting in. If you love listening to music and podcasts throughout the entire workday, Apple has got you covered.

Score the Beats Studio Pro for $100 off at Best Buy
Beats Studio Pro on headphone stand.

It’s getting harder and harder to find wireless headphones and earbuds without noise-canceling these days, and that’s because the feature is a true godsend. As masters of the tech, Beats has been delivering excellent ANC audio products for years, which is why we’re so excited that Best Buy has marked down the Beats Studio Pro headphones. Normally, these headphones are $350, but now they’re only $250 while the sale lasts!

Why you should buy Beats Pro headphones
A solid set of noise-canceling headphones are nothing without robust sound quality backing them up; and to that end, the Studio Pro has got you covered. You can expect big bass, articulate mids, and crystalline highs, but without all the sibilance that too much treble brings. You’ll even be able to download the Beats App to truly fine-tune your listening experience, while monitoring battery level and other vitals. There’s no multi-band EQ, but that’s a small detractor for some otherwise rock-solid companion software.
