The JBL Cinema Soundbar With Subwoofer Is Practically Free at Best Buy, and Amazon Doesn't Even Have It

The JBL Cinema Soundbar With Subwoofer Is Practically Free at Best Buy, and Amazon Doesn't Even Have It

Gizmodo27-05-2025

JBL has been proving for years that enormous sound does not require an enormous speaker setup, or an enormous price tag. One of their best examples, the Cinema SB170 2.1 Channel Soundbar with Wireless Subwoofer, now has an even smaller price tag thanks to this Best Buy deal that knocks the price down to just $170 from its usual $250.
This JBL setup consists of just one modestly sized soundbar and one subwoofer, and from this relatively minuscule set of devices you get a robust 220 watts of JBL's famously big, clear sound and deep bass. Cinematic sound has never come from a speaker system so small or so accessibly priced.

One-Cord Setup
Aside from the AC outlets needed for the soundbar and subwoofer, the only cord you'll need to get up and running is the included HDMI ARC cable that plugs into your TV or receiver. The subwoofer only needs to be located near a power outlet, giving you tremendous setup flexibility.
The soundbar is just under 3 feet long, but also only 2.4 inches high and 2.6 inches deep, and with a feathery weight of only 3.6 pounds, it's easy to mount on a wall or rest on a mantel or other shelf. Within that slender frame sits 2 tweeters, 2 midranges, and 4 drivers that crank out a rich sound that way overperforms the Cinema SB170's size and price.
JBL's amazing voice-clarity technology is also built into the Cinema SB170, so you won't miss out on the dialogue even when the action is at a fever pitch. Enhancing the voices is as easy as pressing the 'Voice' button on the remote control.
Tunes From Everywhere
When you want to go fully cinematic, the JBL Cinema SB170 earns its name with embedded Dolby Digital, giving you a theater-like experience in the privacy of your own home. And regardless of whether you connect the JBL Cinema SB170 to a receiver or directly to a TV, it's still ready and waiting for all of your digital music library. You can stream directly from your smartphone, tablet, or other Bluetooth device to the JBL Cinema SB170 and bring all of your playlists and podcasts out with 220 watts of power.
Best Buy's deal knocking $80 off (-32%) the price of the JBL Cinema SB170 2.1 Channel Soundbar and Wireless Subwoofer has created one of the best $170 home theater setups we've seen in a long while. Enjoy enormous sound from small devices that are easy to set up, and do it at a price tag that makes it more accessible than ever.

This 32-inch Insignia Fire TV is only $69.99! (Record-low price)

We know this is not the most exciting TV around, but it isn't supposed to be. Instead, it is meant to be a good screen for the kitchen, dining room, or a smaller bedroom. There's also a reason why it's Amazon's top-selling TV! It is super cheap, especially right now that it's on sale for a mere $69.99. Buy the Insignia 32-Inch F20 Series Amazon Smart TV for just $69.99 ($60 off) This offer is available from Amazon, but since Insignia is a Best Buy brand, it is shipped and sold by Best Buy. We're referring to the 32-inch model, but the 24-inch version costs the same, so you can get a smaller screen if you prefer. Insignia 32-Inch F20 Series Amazon Smart TV Insignia 32-Inch F20 Series Amazon Smart TV A low-end TV for the kids or grandparents. The Insignia F20 series delivers a meager 720p 32-inch panel. But at least you also get Fire TV support, AirPlay functionality, and a low price. See price at Amazon Save $60.00 Limited Time Deal! Again, this is meant to be a less fancy screen for a bedroom, or a smaller space like a kitchen. The display measures 32 inches, and it has a 720p HD resolution, along with a 60Hz refresh rate. Again, nothing fancy, but one thing I am surprised about is that it does come with Fire TV OS baked in. This means you get access to all your favorite streaming apps, including Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, Apple TV, and more. You can even use Amazon Luna, so it can handle high-quality games on the cloud! Because it has direct access to Alexa, you can even use the TV to control your smart home devices. You can also ask it for information, request alarms, control skills, and more. In terms of ports, you get three HDMI ports, which is actually quite surprising for such an affordable display. It also has a 3.5mm AUX port and an optical output. At $69.99, it's hard to beat this offer for the right customer. Again, keep in mind this is a record-low price. The last time we saw this TV at this low cost was back in December 2024. The offer may not stick around for long, so take advantage of this deal soon!

Cubs legend Sammy Sosa returns to Wrigley Field after 20-plus-year hiatus

Legendary Cubs slugger Sammy Sosa returned to Wrigley Field for the first time in more than 20 years on Friday before Chicago's afternoon game with the Seattle Mariners. Sosa, who is set to be inducted into the Cubs' team Hall of Fame this year, arrived at the iconic North Side ballpark in a black SUV. He was greeted by owner Tom Ricketts, who embraced him in a hug as he exited the vehicle. Sosa became the face of the Cubs franchise where he played 13 seasons after coming in a trade from the crosstown White Sox in March 1992. A seven-time All-Star, Sosa hit 545 homers in 1,811 games with the Cubs and hit a franchise-record 66 in 1998 when he was named the NL's MVP. Sosa, now 56, played his final game with the Cubs at Wrigley on Oct. 2, 2004, when he homered and had two hits in an 8-6 loss to Atlanta. During his years with the Cubs, Sosa appeared to bulk up drastically and was a headliner in a generation of baseball's biggest names linked to performance-enhancing drugs. The Cubs traded him to Baltimore with cash in February 2005 for three players. Sosa appeared to acknowledge using performance-enhancing drugs in December when he released a statement saying he was sorry for mistakes, without specifying them. "There were times I did whatever I could to recover from injuries in an effort to keep my strength up to perform over 162 games," he said in the statement. "I never broke any laws. But in hindsight, I made mistakes and I apologize." On Friday morning, Sosa posed for photos with rising Cubs star Pete Crow-Armstrong outside the team's clubhouse and a video showed Sosa embracing manager Craig Counsell in his office before the game. "(Sosa) saw the wind blowing out today and planned this trip around a good day to be here," Counsell joked. "He asked to be in the lineup because the wind's blowing out." The Cubs honored Sosa with a video board tribute after the second inning. Sosa waved and bowed to fans from a suite during the presentation. In Thursday's 8-7 loss to Milwaukee, Crow-Armstrong went deep to set a new team record for reaching 20 homers and 20-plus stolen stolen bases the fastest, doing it in 73 games. Sosa had the old mark of 96, set in 1994. Counsell, who faced Sosa as a player, saluted the former slugger for his strength at the plate and long homers, as well as star power. "Probably the best thing, Sammy was a true entertainer," Counsell said. "I think when you're in this long enough, you realize that's part of this. "We're also here to entertain and I think Sammy was great at that."
