Talk about a cracking Prime Day deal. Amazon has knocked a staggering $700 off the Samsung HW-N950 — a top-rated Dolby Atmos soundbar that comes bundled with two wireless rear speakers and a subwoofer, dropping the price down to just $1,000.
Scoring an impressive 9/10 in our full review, the Samsung HW-N950 is one of the best Dolby Atmos and DTS:X solutions on the market, delivering thrilling cinema-like 3D surround-sound in an unobtrusive bundle, which couldn’t be easier to install.
The setup is comprised of 17 speakers, spread between the soundbar, the two rear speakers, and the subwoofer — with the bulk of them located in the bar itself, firing sound both forward and sideways to create an arc in the front half of the room.
The integrated subwoofer handles the bass side of things, kicking and rumbling as and when required, while the wireless rear-facing speakers blast sound at you from behind. Clump that all together and you’re immersed in the action from all angles.
There are a couple of things to note, however. First, the soundbar is big. Really big. And it’s heavy. Like, super heavy. Second, the wireless subwoofer and rear speakers aren’t entirely wireless — you still need a cable to draw power from the mains.
By far the easiest way to land spectacular Dolby Atmos surround sound.
If you have an ample amount of space on your entertainment console for the soundbar, and a friend that can help you hurl the 60-pound package into your living room, you can’t go wrong with the Samsung HW-N950 — and that’s when it’s not on sale.
On offer, it’s the absolute best way to venture into the wonderful world of cinema-like Dolby Atmos surround sound. Seriously, discounts like this — on the latest product a manufacturer has to offer — don’t come about all that often, so don’t miss out.
Searching for something a tad cheaper? There are several fantastic soundbars on sale right now, both as part of Amazon Prime Day 2019 and not, and with pricing starting at just $210, there’s bound to be something for everyone.

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.
