Our favorite soundbar is 41% off for Prime Day, but time is running out

The Samsung HW-Q990D is the top pick in our list of the best soundbars, and you can get it with a 41% discount from Amazon until Prime Day ends.

There are a lot of soundbar deals that are still available as we approach the end of Prime Day, but this is the one that you should target — the Samsung HW-Q990D with a huge 41% discount from Amazon, slashing its price from $1,998 all the way down to just $1,178. It’s still expensive, but if you want to make an investment to dramatically improve your home theater setup’s audio, you shouldn’t miss this chance at $820 in savings. You have to hurry though, as there are only a few hours left before the shopping event closes.

The Samsung HW-Q990D holds the top spot in our list of the best soundbars with its “utterly fantastic” sound. It’s an 11.1.4-channel soundbar, and our guide on how to buy a soundbar explains the numbers — it’s got 11 channels, or front-facing speakers; one subwoofer for solid bass; and four up-firing channels that enable Dolby Atmos surround sound. Combining with Samsung’s SpaceFit Sound Pro technology, which optimizes the soundbar’s output depending on your environment, and Active Voice Analyzer, which makes dialogue clearer, you’ll feel like you’re in the middle of the action while you’re watching your favorite shows and movies.

For those with smart home systems, the Samsung HW-Q990D is ready for integration with Amazon’s Alexa built in, and it works with Google Chromecast and Apple AirPlay 2 to stream music from your mobile devices. If you’ll use the soundbar with a Samsung TV, all of the speakers will work in perfect harmony with the brand’s Q-Symphony technology.

The Samsung HW-Q990D is our top pick among all of the soundbars in the market, and it’s still available from Amazon at 41% off for Prime Day. From its original price of $1,998, it’s down to only $1,178 for massive savings of $820. With the shopping event at its final hours, this discount is also about to disappear, so you should act fast if you’re interested. To make sure that you buy the Samsung HW-Q990D soundbar at almost half-price, you need to complete your transaction for it immediately.

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.

Instagram brings Reels and more to Apple TV

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.
