We saw a host of excellent Bose discounts during Amazonās so-called Big Spring Sale last month; however, none of them were quite as steep as the current price drop weāre seeing on the latest Bose Soundlink Flex. Right now, the portable speaker is on sale at Amazon in select colors starting at $109 ($50 off), nearly matching its best price to date. Itās also available at Walmart, Best Buy, and directly from Bose in all eight hues, albeit for $119 ($40 off) instead of $109. Bose Soundlink Flex (second-gen) Where to Buy: $159 $109 at Amazon $159 $119 at Walmart $159 $119 at Best Buy A few years back, we crowned the original Soundlink Flex the best portable Bluetooth speaker under $200. It was an impressive speaker with expansive sound and a surprising amount of low-end thump, not to mention a rugged, IP67-rated design that allowed you to take it pretty much anywhere. It was a real winner in many respects, particularly for its compact size, which is probably why Bose didnāt feel the need to completely reinvent the wheel with the second iteration. The second-gen Flex is nearly identical to the first-gen model, only with a few subtle refinements. The travel-friendly speaker features a redesigned control strip with a new play / pause button and a power button thatās easier to locate ā a welcome upgrade, given that the buttons on the original werenāt easy to use by feel alone. The 2nd Gen version also features adjustable EQ and support for higher-res AAC and aptX codecs, though you still get up to 12 hours of battery life, stereo pairing (if you own two), and weatherproofing, making the silicone-wrapped speaker a great picnic or poolside companion. More deals and discounts Legoās adorable R2-D2 replica is currently on sale at Amazon, Walmart, and Target for $79.99 ($20 off), matching its lowest price to date. The 1,050-piece set is a nice, decor-worthy homage to everyoneās favorite R2-series astromech droid, complete with a 180-degree swiveling head, an attachable periscope, and a miniature Artoo thatās meant to sit alongside the included info plaque. If Googleās premium subscriptions donāt scare you off, the third-gen Google Nest Doorbell is down to $139.99 ($40 off) ā its second-best price to date ā at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy. The new model supports 2K HDR video, a taller field of view than prior models, and a new sensor with a wider aperture lens for full-color low-light video.Ā The wired video doorbell can also leverage Gemini for AI-generated text descriptions, assuming youāre willing to pay for Googleās Home Premium Advanced plan ($20 a month). I probably wouldnāt call Twelve Southās 4-foot PowerCord the God Cable weāve been looking for, but itās still a good option for charging a range of gadgets now that itās on sale at Amazon for $16.79 (about $13 off), which is about $6 shy of its lowest price to date. The sleek, low-profile device combines a 30W fast charger with a USB-C cable, allowing you to top off your phone, tablet, and a host of other small electronics without the need for an extra wall adapter. Update, April 10th: Updated to reflect a steeper $50 price cut on the Bose SoundLink Flex.
