There’s no denying the cinematic capabilities of 4K TVs, but they don’t always come with superior audio. If you’ve finally decided to say goodbye to your TV’s tinny, muffled speakers, you might want to invest in a soundbar. We’ve listed here top-rated options from LG, Vizio, and Samsung, all of which are discounted for Independence Day. Jump on these 4th of July sales now and walk away with up to $170 in savings.

LG 2.1 Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer – $180, was $280

LG

Upgrade your home theater with the booming audio of the LG SL4Y. This model uses the Dolby Digital decorder which is responsible for reproducing multichannel sound, allowing for a cinematic audio experience. It also comes with a lightweight carbon diaphragm that lessens distortion to deliver crisp, clean audio. Coupled with a powerful subwoofer, you’ll hear everything with a powerful, tight bass response and feel like you’re in the scene.

LG also outfitted the soundbar with the Adaptive Sound Control. This feature adjusts the settings automatically according to content to ensure optimal audio performance. As the scene switches from sports to drama to action or when a show takes a commercial break, the soundbar adapts so there’s no need for you to keep reaching for the remote to change the volume.

Bring movie nights to new heights with this Vizio soundbar system. This model boasts technologies from leaders in the audio industry – Dolby Atmos which makes it seem like sound comes from all around you, and the DTS Virtual: X technology, which digitally processes a virtual height and depth element to deliver a multi-dimensional sound experience. The included subwoofer completes the package, so every action is accompanied by room-shaking bass that you can feel.

Playing your favorite tunes from your phone directly to the soundbar is made possible with the built-in Chromecast. You’ll also be able to stream high-quality audio over your home’s Wi-Fi network without interruptions if you get a text or phone call. For a more seamless experience, download the Vizio SmartCast mobile app so you can turn your smartphone into the ultimate remote to easily set up and control the soundbar.

If you’ve got the cash to splurge on a soundbar system, you might want to consider this premium model from Samsung. It packs Dolby Atmos technology, which makes every audio element move independently around you from all directions, even from above. From the sounds of people and places to music, you’ll feel as if you are part of the scene. The accompanying subwoofer just makes the experience better. Expect every action to come to life with deep, rich, and heart-pounding bass.

The sleek design of the Samsung Acoustic Beam Q Series is a match for any TV and interior setting. It even comes with a wall-mountable design so you can customize your home theater setup as needed. Use the soundbar’s built-in inputs or Bluetooth connectivity to start streaming and the remote for seamless settings adjustment and playback control.

Google is not killing your old and aging Chromecast, after all
Users feared Google had silently killed the original Chromecast, but the company says a fix is here.
Chromecast 2015

For a brief moment, the internet genuinely believed Google had finally decided to kill off the original Chromecast, after multiple Gen 1 users reported casting failures and apps refusing to connect over the past few days. Honestly, considering the tiny streaming dongle is now more than a decade old, nobody would have been completely shocked, but thankfully, Google now says the issue has been resolved, and the aging Chromecast survives another day.

Why I kind of hate portable monitors, even though I want one badly
A second screen on the road sounds smart until it starts feeling like rebuilding an office in public
portable monitor, keyboard, mouse

I’ve been traveling more lately, which means I’ve also been doing the worst kind of pre-trip math: the kind where I convince myself I can pack less by bringing more accessories. Before one big trip, I started wondering what I could bring so I wouldn’t have to take my laptop. A tablet? A keyboard? Some tiny hub? Then, somehow, a portable monitor crossed my mind.

That’s a deranged little thought. A portable monitor is basically half a laptop without the half that makes it useful on its own. Still, the category keeps getting more tempting. You can now buy slim USB-C displays, touchscreen models, 4K travel screens, and magnetic setups built for remote work.

Liberty 5 Pro series lean hard into practical AI features
Soundcore earbuds

Anker has added two new earbuds to its audio lineup called the Soundcore Liberty 5 Pro and Liberty 5 Pro Max. The regular Liberty 5 already made a strong impression in our review, where we praised Soundcore for getting most of the basics right, even if pricing left it under pressure from cheaper rivals.

Now, Anker is pushing the Liberty 5 line into more AI-focused territory, with the Thus AI chip powering clearer calls, smarter noise cancellation, voice commands, translation, transcripts, and meeting summaries.
