If you’ve ever wanted a Bluetooth speaker that looks as good as a classic guitar amp, the collaboration between Fender and Teufel is likely already on your radar. Starting today, that lineup is seeing its first major holiday price drops. Running through mid-December, you can save on the entire Teufel x Fender Rockster series, blending that iconic American rock aesthetic with serious German audio engineering.
I’ve dealt with a lot of Bluetooth speakers in my time, and frankly, most of them look exactly the same—rubberized black rectangles. This collection is different. By pulling design cues from Fender’s legendary amplifiers (think classic lettering, grille cloth, and control knobs) and pairing them with Teufel’s acoustic technology, these speakers have a distinct personality. One of my favorite guitar amps is the Fender ’65 Deluxe Reverb, so for me personally, the aesthetic choices taken here are a slam-dunk.
It isn’t just about the logo or the exterior in general, though. Teufel is known for precision audio, and this partnership ensures that the sound output matches the rugged, tour-ready look. Whether you’re looking for a small portable unit or a massive party speaker, the build quality feels substantial.
The sale covers the full range, but a few specific offers stand out depending on your needs.
If you need something ultra-portable for travel or hiking, the Rockster Go 2 has dropped to $89.99. It is rugged, waterproof, and surprisingly loud for its size.
For those who want to power a backyard party or a tailgate, the massive Rockster Air 2 is now $449.99 (down from $479.99). This is the heavy hitter of the group.
This sale runs through the entire Black Friday period and into mid-December. If you want audio gear that breaks the mold of boring black plastic and actually looks good sitting on your shelf, the Fender x Teufel collection is a solid investment at these prices.
Amazon has unveiled a new Alexa lineup featuring the Echo Show 16, Echo Time smart clock, and Alexa Photo Frame. Two speakers join them: an upgraded Echo Dot with a built-in smart home hub and the Echo Studio with Home Camera, which lets Alexa+ see its surroundings. Both are available now for $99.99 and $249.99, respectively.

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.
