As we prepare for Cyber Monday, we’re already hunting down great deals on electronics and gadgets for you. We’ve got one of the best Cyber Monday deals on portable speakers that’s already available: The Bose SoundLink Micro speaker on sale for $70 at Walmart. That’s $30 off the standard price of $100.
The SoundLink Micro packs a serious sound punch in a small package, with plenty of volume. And because it’s by Bose, a top brand among audiophiles, you know it will sound good as well. The speaker is portable and waterproof, with an IPX7 rating so it can survive a dip in the pool or a torrential rainstorm with no problems. It’s designed to be rugged too, with a soft exterior which can handle drops and impacts without denting or scratching.
One really handy feature of the speaker is the tear-resistant silicone strap on the back, with which you can attach the speaker to your backpack, cooler, or even your bike, so you can enjoy music on the go. With up to six hours of playback, you’ll be set for a day’s exploration outdoors or a long night’s partying.
You can also link the speaker up to an Amazon Echo Dot for voice control, or use the speaker to access the Siri and Google Assistant on your phone. It comes in classic black and dark blue colors, or a bright and funky orange if you like to stand out.
Alternatively, another option for a rugged portable speaker is the JBL Clip 3, which is on sale for $30 at Amazon, down from $70. This speaker has a carabiner clip to hang from just about anywhere, and it’s also IPX7 waterproof rated. It comes in a massive range of colors, including bright yellow, red, and teal, and there’s even an option for a cool camouflage finish. You’ll get 10 hours of playtime and the ability to connect wirelessly to devices via Bluetooth.
While we’re waiting for Cyber Monday 2019 to begin in earnest, we’re combing through the internet to bring you the very best deals on everything from kitchen gadgets to 4K TVs. You can find all the best deals at our constantly updated Cyber Monday deals hub.
Instagram is making its way to yet another screen, and this time, Apple TV is getting a taste of the Reels rabbit hole. The company has launched a dedicated Instagram app for Apple TV, bringing Reels, longer videos, and live shows to the big screen. So, if watching one quick clip on a phone somehow turns into an hour of scrolling, there's now a much larger screen for that.

Audio-Technica, a brand well known for making some of the best studio and professional headphones on the market, has just come out with the ATH-AWX7000, which the company itself claims to be its "finest headphones ever." The new flagship closed-back headphone has debuted at an eye-watering price of $3,799. It combines hand-finished Japanese woodwork with a newly developed 58mm driver.
The earcups are made from Kiso cypress, a prized wood historically used for Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples. Each housing is finished by hand with traditional Echizen lacquer, which brings out the grain and is expected to darken over time. The frame and sliders are finished in a deep navy kachi-iro shade traditionally associated with samurai.
