Save 33% on the JBL Bar 5.1 soundbar when you shop now

JBL is one of the most popular names in the audio industry, so there’s no reason not to trust the quality of the JBL Bar 5.1 soundbar. As explained by our guide on how to choose a soundbar, the numbers in its name mean it comes with five channels — the standard left and right channels, the center channel for improved dialog clarity, and two more channels to enable surround sound. The “1,” meanwhile, means it’s bundled with a wireless subwoofer for extra bass, combining with the JBL Bar 5.1’s 300W of total output power for a more enjoyable experience when watching shows and movies at home.

In addition to connecting the JBL Bar 5.1 to your TV through its optical digital audio or HDMI port for better audio, you can play music from your mobile devices on the soundbar through a Bluetooth connection. The JBL Bar 5.1 also features MultiBeam technology, which will allow it to deliver powerful sound without the need for more speakers and Wi-Fi connectivity so that you can also use Chromecast and Apple’s AirPlay 2 to stream content to the soundbar.

Best Buy’s $200 discount for the JBL Bar 5.1 is one of the most attractive Prime Big Deal Days soundbar deals that we’ve come across. From its sticker price of $600, it’s down to a more affordable $400. The offer is only going to last until the end of the day, though, coinciding with the end of Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days, so don’t think twice about jumping on this limited-time deal.

OTC or over-the-counter hearing aids are a relatively new category of products that offer accessible, affordable access to the aforementioned technology.

They feature replaceable batteries that offer all-day hearing clarity blending modern technology and comfort to ensure you can adapt to your surroundings. Get prescription-grade sound quality via FDA-cleared OTC hearing aids that analyze and optimize sound based on your environment. Here's the best part, today they're $100 off at Best Buy. Normally $800, grab them for $700.

Why you should shop these Sony OTC self-fitting hearing aids at Best Buy
The discreet, earbud-style Sony hearing aids offer everyday clarity and balance. If you must know the model number, these are the Sony CRE-C10. They fit comfortably inside the ear canal, offering prescription-grade sound quality. The settings are fully adjustable within the Sony hearing control app, as well. But there's one major difference between the CRE-C10 and the CRE-E10. The former has traditional size 10 batteries offering up to 70 hours of continuous use. When the batteries die, you can simply replace them.
