A lot of people are split between getting a nice all-in-one soundbar or spending more for an option that includes rear satellites for immersive surround sound. JBL’s Bar 700 Mark 2 system is one of the most unique options available, shipping with two modular speakers that charge when docked to the soundbar. When detached, the battery-powered (and mountable) speakers can be placed anywhere, lasting for up to ten hours before needing to recharge. If you’re seeking this kind of versatility, you might be pleased to know that the system has been steeply discounted at Amazon, costing
The Bar 700 Mark 2 seems impressive on multiple fronts. The main soundbar component offers 7.1 channels, including two tweeters that fire to the side to bounce around audio with Dolby Atmos and DTS Virtual: X content. It offers vastly superior connectivity compared to some similarly-priced options, with HDMI in (with HDR 10 Plus and Dolby Vision passthrough), HDMI out with ARC and e ARC support, plus optical audio. The set includes a wireless subwoofer, plus mounts.
One of the most appealing use cases for the Bar 700 Mark 2 is bringing one of its satellites with you around your house or apartment so you don’t totally miss out on the action. If the speaker’s battery is running low before you’re ready to return it to the soundbar, you can easily recharge it just by plugging in a USB-C power source.
Through September 13th, Statik and Key Smart are offering great Labor Day deals on a range of products, including Mag Safe car chargers, nifty power banks with swappable charging ports, magnetic cables that don’t tangle, and several unique form factors of Bluetooth item trackers. It’s the best kind of sale, one where no offer code is required to save. One of the most interesting products that’s available for less is the Smart Charge Gen 2, a 10,000m Ah battery that has two built-in USB-C cables (up to 22.5W charging speed), an Apple Watch-ready wireless charging pad and extra USB ports. Best of all, it has fold-in prongs that let you easily recharge it.
A fantastic deal is happening at Green Man Gaming for those who want to get the trilogy of Final Fantasy VII remakes. It’s offering Steam keys for all three games, including a preorder for Revelations coming April 8th, 2027, for
