People looking for headphone deals often focus on AirPods, especially if they’re looking for wireless earbuds. Don’t pass up Sony. They’re one of the premier audio brands out there and make fantastic earbuds. Right now you can get the Sony Linkbuds S for $148 at Crutchfield after a $50 discount. Read on to hear about why you’ll love them.

Why you should buy the Sony Linkbuds S

Sony is well known for making some of the best wireless earbuds and best headphones around, which is a great starting point for any purchase. In the case of the Sony Linkbuds S, you get some very stylish earbuds that offer a few unique features compared to the rest. These earbuds are designed to wear for long periods of time thanks to being very lightweight and small to fit into your ears.

Even better, they’re smart enough to learn your preferences and where you walk regularly, so they adjust the amount of noise cancelation or ambient sound you need to allow in. That’s thanks to them offering the same processor as the Sony WF-1000XM4 that we so adored when they were launched back in 2021. They’re not quite as effective at noise canceling as them, but they’re much cheaper. You can customize the level of noise cancelation you require so you always get the right amount of sound for your needs. At all times, you’re only a single tap away from noise canceling or ambient sound mode. It also has a built-in mic system that picks up external sounds and voices while your music plays, before allowing you to temporarily turn off the music to take something else in.

Besides the excellent adaptive sound controls, there’s similarly great sound quality. With plenty of ways to adjust the equalizer, you’ll always feel in control here with some strong sounds for earbuds. There’s also voice assistant support with Alexa and Google Assistant working via your smartphone as needed. With up to six hours of listening time and an extra 14 hours coming back from the charging case, you’re good to go for a while to come.

Ordinarily priced at $198, the Sony Linkbuds S are currently down to $148 at Crutchfield. A saving of $50 makes these far more affordable and gives you a great chance to snap up excellent noise-canceling earphones for less. Buy them now before you miss out.

Samsung’s ultra-loud party speaker just got a $200 price cut
samsung mx st90b sound tower deal march 2023 lifestyle

Whether you're watching movies or listening to music, you deserve a high quality speaker -- especially if you're having people over. The speakers set the tone of the party, and a tiny Bluetooth speaker just isn't going to cut it. Samsung is one of the highest quality audio equipment manufacturers in the world, and they have a great speaker for parties: the MX-ST90B Sound Tower. It's great for both indoor and outdoor events. It isn't exactly cheap, but right now it has a nice discount. It's $200 off, bringing the total to $1,000. Here's why you should consider dropping that kind of cash on your sound system.

Why you should buy the Samsung MX-ST90B Sound Tower
What sets the MX-ST90B Sound Tower is the massive 1,700 watts of power it can put through its speakers, meaning you can fill a significantly large room with sound if you'd like. It has six speakers inside, two of each bass, mids, and tweeters, so you have a full range of frequencies to work with, especially if you love bass since it has some excellent bass boosting. We certainly appreciate the app that connects to the speaker, which gives you a lot of control over the EQ, something we don't often find in speakers that come with preset EQs. Speaking of which, if you'd rather not fuss around with EQ settings, there are a few sound modes that you can pick from Party, Standard(MONO), Hip-Hop, EDM, Rock, Latin, House, and Regeea.
