Editor’s picks

Apple’s entry-level earbuds bring many of the “Pro” perks to the mainstream, with a new, more secure fit and upgraded acoustic design for richer, clearer sound. Available in two versions—our featured one, with Active Noise Cancellation, and also a non-ANC edition (on sale for $69)—they support Adaptive Audio, Transparency mode, Conversation Awareness, and Personalized Spatial Audio for a more immersive, context-aware listening experience. You still get staples like quick pairing, automatic device switching, “Hey Siri” voice control, plus up to 5 hours of listening (and up to 30 hours with the case). There’s the legendary ease of use and even Find My integration, which helps you not lose your AirPods. Though at this price, maybe you should just buy a backup pair. If you’ve got an iPhone, you really gotta have AirPods.

Since being introduced in 2017, the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom has been a tried-and-true favorite, one of the best Bluetooth speakers under $100 in any situation, thanks to its durability and sound quality. And the Wonderboom 4 continues that tuneful tradition, offering you an audio orb you can easily take with you—into the woods or the waves, to the beach or the bathtub. This portable Bluetooth speaker comes in fun two-tone colors with a flexible handle at the top that can easily be attached to a backpack, belt loop, bike basket, or boat. It weighs less than 1 pound and measures just 4 inches tall, so you won’t be slowed down by bulk. The battery lasts a full 14 hours and produces 360-degree sound coverage that can reach up to 87 dBs in Outdoor Boost mode—pretty impressive for a 10W speaker this size. With an IP67 rating and the ability to float, it’s a perfect shower/pool speaker—available in four colorways. You can also pair multiples if you want more liquid funk, which is even more affordable if you act quickly while it’s at its lowest price of the year.

Klipsch The Nines powered speakers are Klipsch’s flagship Heritage-inspired powered bookshelf speakers, blending mid-century-modern looks with contemporary, no-receiver-needed convenience. Each cabinet pairs a 1-inch titanium tweeter in a Tractrix horn with an 8-inch long-throw woofer and a built-in 240-watt amp (480 watts peak), delivering the brand’s big, concert-style sound with deep, controlled bass that often makes a subwoofer optional. HDMI ARC, USB, optical, analog, Bluetooth 5.0, and a built-in phono preamp mean you can hook up your TV, laptop, turntable, and more without extra boxes, while simple plug-and-play setup and app-based EQ let you go from unboxing to room-filling hi-fi in minutes. If you want high-performance media multitaskers, find out what our reviewer already knows: these speakers are worth it, especially at their best, lowest price.

Meze Audio 99 Classics are the kind of headphones that make most plastic cans look like office supplies. The original 99 Classics wrap your ears in real walnut wood cups, a suspended headband, and plush pads that practically whisper “one more track” every time you think about turning off and turning in. Sonically, they lean into a warm, V-shaped tuning with rich, rounded bass and gently sweetened treble that flatters everything from synthwave to Sunday jazz. They’re not chasing clinical neutrality so much as that “sink into the couch and rediscover your favorite albums” vibe—old-school wired cans with just enough modern polish to feel like a design object and a hi-fi gateway drug in one. While a V2 was introduced in 2025 with heightened technicalities and soundstage, the original 99 Classics remains a, well, classic for entry-level audiophiles seeking inviting, intimate expressiveness, especially at a deep discount.

Pushback, taxi, takeoff. Engines gather speed, cabin hum stiffens, and Gen. 2 serenity settles in. Bose active noise cancellation has always brought that blackout, but this sequel leans harder into the mids, carving fatigue-causing congestion—roar, rattle, the annoying row behind. And AI-juiced adaptive algorithms do it with more grace and less invasive inversion. Pressurized hiccups stifled, you just feel the dBs drop and your shoulders relax. A few hours of sleep on an airplane is easily worth $299, and it’s just $219 for a limited time—the lowest price of the year.

The JBL Charge 6 portable Bluetooth party speaker doubles down on everything people love about the Charge line: big sound, big battery, and go-anywhere build. A 45W two-way driver system and JBL’s AI Sound Boost tech deliver surprisingly punchy, room-filling audio for its size, while Auracast support lets you link up multiple compatible JBL speakers to cover a whole backyard or campsite. With up to a full day of playtime, an IP68 rating for water, dust, and drop resistance, and a built-in power bank to top off your phone, this is the kind of throw-it-in-the-bag/back speaker that earns a permanent spot in your weekend adventures. And right now it’ll cost less than it has all year, but only for a limited time.

With Nothing’s signature transparent aesthetic and KEF’s spacious, clean, and controlled sonic signature, these over-ear headphones are eye-catching and attention-grabbing. The 40mm drivers aim for a clear, detailed presentation, while hybrid active noise cancellation and a six-mic system help keep both your music and your calls tastefully engaging in noisy environments. Add in physical controls, multi-device pairing, LDAC hi-res audio, and marathon-friendly 80H battery life, and you get a stylish daily-driver that’s built to stand out on a flight as much as it does on a spec sheet.

A high-end Dolby Atmos soundbar that anchors an immersive living room setup with big, cinematic sound and tight integration into the Sonos multiroom, multidimensional ecosystem. Any discount on the Arc Ultra is a standout for home theater fans, especially when paired with other Sonos gear, such as the Era 300 surround speakers and Sub 4 wireless subwoofer (both also on sale).

Prefer a shared listening experience? There are deals on portable party speakers, too. Sony’s ULT FIELD 5 is a Bluetooth speaker built to hit hard without looking like it’s trying. It’s the sonic sequel to the already excellent SRS-XG300, but with more edge and less bloat—physically and sonically. Dual tweeters and passive radiators give it real punch, especially if you’re streaming LDAC from an Android device, but it still plays nice with iPhone AAC. The shimmering SONY logo and ambient LEDs lean into the vibe. IP67 means it’s beach/beer-proof, and it lasts up to 25 hours (plus acts as a power bank). It’s not true wide stereo, but ULT mode punches big, clean, and bassy. Think party muscle in a polished frame.
