Best Cyber Monday Deal? This amazing Ultimate Ears Bluetooth speaker is $125 off

By Quentyn Kennemer Updated April 21, 2022

There have been tons of steep discounts on portable speakers for Cyber Week, but Target’s Cyber Monday sale might feature one of the best deals this Cyber Monday. Period. The Ultimate Ears Megablast is usually $250, but Target chops its sticker price perfectly in half to bring it down to $125 (Don’t worry – the sale price will show up when you place the product in your cart.)

As you’d surmise from the name, Megablast is the biggest speaker in the Ultimate Ears ranks. You’ll understand why when you hear what comes out of its total of six drivers. There are two 25mm tweeters to handle work on the high end, another two massive 55mm active drivers to fill out most of the spectrum, and dual 50mm passive radiators keep it all tight. Ultimate Ears says it can reach volume levels up to 93 dB, which can absolutely leave a small room vibrating.

As with all Ultimate Ears products, the Megablast is built to take some abuse, with a shock-resistant design and IP67 watertight seal keeping it safe in all sorts of scenarios. The large size also contributes to its 16-hour battery life, which is above average for the power it boasts. To charge, just drop the Megablast on the included cradle.

Interestingly, there’s both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi support. Not only can you connect your smartphone to play music, but you can use it on a standalone basis with a bevy of popular music streaming services. That wireless cocktail supports multi-speaker mode, but sadly only if you are using another Megablast. The speaker also supports Alexa, so you can control your music, check weather and messages, and operate your smart home using the integrated far-field microphone.

Should you buy the Ultimate Ears Megablast?

We’re constantly recommending Ultimate Ears products among the best Bluetooth speakers — most often a Wonderboom for its balance and value — but the Megablast is an absolute steal with this Cyber Monday discount. The UE Blast offers similar functionality, but with a weaker soundstage, the Megaboom 3 has decent sound without the Blast’s smarts, and the Wonderboom 2 offers wireless sound in a smaller body. Available in Black and Red, Target likely won’t have these so cheap for long, so don’t hesitate to grab one if you’ve been searching for room-filling sound in a portable package.

While the deals on Ring doorbells we've covered previously for Black Friday and Cyber Monday are long gone, there still are a few good deals out there. Refurbished Ring Video Doorbell 2's are cheaper than ever, and Amazon's selling its stockfor just $99 with free Prime shipping -- so you'd have it by the weekend.

Why not take advantage of this deal for yourself, to protect you from package theft? At $99, it's $30 cheaper than even the best price on Black Friday or Cyber Monday. Pair it with the Echo Show 5 or Echo Show 8 and you'll have a way to see who's at the door for less than you'd pay for a new one -- and feel much more secure about buying online.

Your performance during the day often depends on how well you sleep at night. If you're having trouble sleeping, no matter the reason, you're simply not going to feel great during the day. Most of us have experienced that horrible moment of jolting awake after falling asleep at our desks in front of our computers -- and coworkers. Our bodies and minds are finicky; we might be having trouble sleeping because of a variety of reasons: It's too hot, it's too cold, you took an accidental nap after work, you're too stressed to sleep, your partner is snoring. The list goes on and on and on. Then, once you're asleep, you might have trouble staying asleep.

There are a few things that can be difficult to remedy. However, there are plenty of ways to create the perfect environment that will make it as easy as possible for your body to get to sleep, and stay asleep, so you can spend your day alert, in a good mood, and feeling good. One of those ways is to get yourself the perfect sheet set and pillow. After all, if you feel like you've slept well and stayed asleep all night, but you're still waking up in pain or you just don't feel comfortable once you're awake, it might be your sheets and pillow.

The Google Pixel 4 is still on sale for Best Buy’s Cyber Week sale today

Cyber Monday is over, but retailers like Best Buy are still offering Cyber Week deals today. Though not all of the discounts are as good as yesterday, now is still a good time to buy Google's latest Pixel smartphones thanks to a couple of smartphone deals for the Pixel 4 series. You've probably seen plenty of commercials for them by now, showing off how they're excellent at taking photographs -- especially when it comes to capturing the stars in the night sky. Well, if you waited until its post-launch day, you're going to be rewarded because Best Buy is discounting the phones heavily for Cyber Week alongside some Apple iPhone deals.

The big-box retailer is discounting the unlocked models of the Google Pixel 4 and 4 XL by $50, making the 64GB versions $750 and $850, respectively. These prices are a bit more reasonable, especially when the Pixel 4 retails for $800. If you think 64GB of storage isn't enough, then you can pay just an additional $100 to upgrade to the 128GB models
. These deals are outstanding when you factor in that they're unlocked, feature smooth scrolling with their 90Hz screens, and how they capture unbelievable, high-quality photos with their cameras.
