Our top pick
Mashable's Alex Perry called the Ultimate Ears Boom 3 "a powerful music tube with a bevy of customization options, excellent sound, and an all-day battery." Now, released just a few months ago, the Boom 4 is improving on the already great speaker with enhanced deep bass radiators for bigger sound, a new software trick called megaphone, and the coveted USB-C port. It's regularly $149.99, but as of Sept. 23, it's down to just $117.85 at Amazon. That's 21% in savings and the first time it's hit this low of a price. There's just one catch: the record-low price only applies to the black colorway.
Tile's starter pack is a solid introduction to Bluetooth tracking devices. It includes one Tile Mate (one of our top picks for a Bluetooth tracker) and one Tile Slim for just $38.56. That's 30% cheaper than buying each one separately. The Tile Mate attaches to your keys, luggage, and more without much bulk, while the Slim is the shape of a credit card, so it can slip inside your wallet or purse. The pair are designed to reliably help you keep track of your stuff through GPS. Plus, you can opt into a paid Tile Premium subscription and unlock extra features, like notifications when you leave stuff behind and item reimbursement.
The Philips 4000 Series Smart Lock is on sale for just $117.20 at Amazon and serves as a great way to dabble in the smart home world without breaking the bank. It's usually $169.99, so you'll save about 31%. Just remember to check the box for the on-page coupon. We haven't had a chance to test the Philips smart lock, but our friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) have and found it to be a sleek and effective device, but a bit expensive. Like any good smart lock, it gives you multiple ways to lock and unlock your door, including a fingerprint scan, PIN codes, a mobile app, and traditional keys. You'll need to purchase the WiFi bridge separately for remote access and voice control. But luckily, with this discount, you'll keep an extra $52.79 in your pocket. That's more than enough to pay for the WiFi bridge.
