Amazon clears out Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra at $300 off

After seeing its latest foldable handsets go on sale for the first time this year, much of that caliber of savings is going live on some previous-generation devices. Amazon is now discounting the unlocked Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra 128GB to $900. While you’d more regularly pay $1,200, today’s offer amounts to $300 in savings in order to mark the first discount since the holiday shopping event last year. This is also the second-best price cut to date, as well, coming within $30 of the all-time low from Black Friday. Other storage capacities are also getting in on the savings, which we break down below the fold.

While this isn’t the latest flagship handset in the Samsung stable, the Galaxy S22 Ultra still arrives with much of that refreshed, yet similarly-squared off design as previous model. Making a notable appearance this time around is an S Pen slot to channel some Galaxy Note energy, as well as a 6.8-inch SuperAMOLED panel and the recent Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chip. That’s alongside 256GB of storage, 12GB of RAM, and an improved 5,000mAh battery backed by 45W charging. Our launch day hands-on review details what to expect.

Sonos sale offers rare refurbished discounts

Sonos is now launching a spring certified refurbished sale today, delivering rare discounts across its lineup of smart speakers for the first time since back over the holiday season. Headlining all of the discounts is the Sonos Arc SL at $679. This is the first discount we’ve seen in quite some time, dropping down from the usual $849 going rate. Those $170 make this flagship soundbar even more affordable while marking a return to the all-time low in the process.

Arriving as one of the brand’s most capable smart soundbars, Sonos Arc SL delivers eleven drivers in a sleek design for delivering a streamlined home theater setup with Dolby Atmos alongside all of the other staples of the ecosystem. That includes AirPlay 2 support, Trueplay audio, surround sound support, and integration with the rest of the Sonos speaker lineup. While it’s a step down from the standard Sonos Arc, the only compromise that the SL version makes is ditching the built-in microphone.

Another notable highlight from the sale has the Sonos Roam Portable Speaker for $139. Not only is this down from the usual $179 going rate, but also one of the first discounts we’ve seen across the board at $40 off and a new all-time low. Delivering a battery-powered speaker with 10 hours of runtime per charge, Sonos Roam expands your Sonos setup with IP67 water-resistance as well as both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi support. You can dive into our hands-on review for a better idea of what to expect.

Anker’s Liberty 3 Pro ANC earbuds hit $85

The official Anker Amazon storefront is now offering its Soundcore Liberty 3 Pro Noise Cancelling Earbuds at $85. Regularly $170 and closer to somewhere between $100 at $130 these days at Amazon, today’s deal is matching our previous mention and the lowest price we can find. Now available in purple, white, or black at the discounted rate, they might not be the new Liberty 4 set we reviewed previously, but they are a more affordable option nonetheless. The Liberty 3 Pro deliver active noise cancellation alongside HearID tech that “analyzes your ears and level of in-ear pressure to create a tailored profile.” Beyond that, you’ll find 32 hours of battery life alongside a wireless charging-ready case and compatibility with both iOS and Android smartphones. Get a closer hands-on look right here.

Bose Headphones 700 fall as low as $279 with ANC in tow

Amazon now offers the Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 for $329. Typically fetching $379 these days, today’s offer amounts to $50 in savings while delivering the best price of the year. It’s the first markdown since back over the holiday shopping season, which clocked in at the all-time low of $269 for a limited time over Black Friday. Bose Headphones 700 deliver one of the best distraction-free listening experiences on the market with 11 levels of active noise cancellation at the center of the experience. Alongside 20-hour battery life, you’ll have the option of both Bluetooth and wired listening to round out the package with onboard Alexa and Assistant control. Our hands-on review offers a better idea of what to expect.

If you don’t mind going the refurbished route, there’s also the option to go pick up the Bose Headphones 700 direct from the official Bose eBay storefront. Marked down by an extra $60, you can bring home the same noise cancelling experience as above for $279. We took a hands-on look at the experience of buying from the eBay Certified Refurbished Program a few years back, and were pretty impressed by how good of a value you actually get. Which of course is only made better by the added savings that total up to $100 off.

Acer’s compact Chromebook 311 features 10 hours of battery life

Amazon is offering the Acer Chromebook 311 2.4GHz/4GB/64GB for $131. Down from $155, today’s deal marks the best price that we’ve seen so far this year, though it did fall to $100 at the end of December. This Chromebook is perfect for running your on-the-go needs thanks to the lightweight Chromed OS operating system and Android app support.

You’ll get 100GB of Google One storage to keep files backed up online automatically and this model can go for up to 10 hours on a single charge. With an 11.6-inch HD display, 64GB of eMMC storage, and a microSD card reader, you’ll find Wi-Fi 5 support as well as Bluetooth connectivity for pairing to headphones or speakers.
