The Best Super Bowl Weekend Tech Deals

Sure, the Seahawks facing off with the Patriots is the big event this weekend, but don’t forget about deals. Smart shoppers know that the beginning of February brings low prices on home entertainment tech, and we’ve been digging through all the major retailers to find discounts of up to 50% on well-reviewed items from major brands.

Super Bowl season is widely known as the best time to shop for TVs, as retailers and manufacturers drop prices significantly. Case in point: a Hisense TV that we gave an Editors’ Choice award is now 40% off. In our review, product expert Will Greenwald said this set was “incredibly bright, has wide and accurate colors, and offers excellent gaming performance” after putting it through a robust series of tests. For most users, this is going to be the best LED panel you can snag for the price, and it has tons of nice touches, including a side-mounted USB-C input, 4.1.2-channel spatial audio, and variable refresh rate support with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro.

A great new TV needs a great new audio system to go with it. We haven’t tested the Q990D yet, but we’ve taken other very similar Samsung home theater systems to the lab and loved them. Most recently, we tested the extremely similar Q990F, which we declared the best-sounding soundbar on the market in our review. With a 50% discount, the Q990D is an incredible value, with up and side-firing rear speakers for incredible spatial audio separation, deep bass from the stand-alone subwoofer, and Spacefit Sound Pro that uses built-in microphones to adjust levels for maximum presence and clarity.

Need to shut out the hubbub? Snag a huge 41% discount on the Beats Studio Buds+ in-ear headphones with active noise cancellation, and you can have the halftime show playlist of your choice running no matter what’s on the screen. In our review, we gave them an “Excellent” rating, with reviewer Tim Gideon saying that they “improve upon the Studio Buds with better battery life and more effective active noise cancellation,” along with seamless pairing with Apple devices, balanced sound, and a comfortable fit. Getting a pair for under a hundred bucks is a spectacular bargain.
