Best of 9to5Toys: Best Buy’s Apple shopping event, $240 HomePod, Sonos Super Bowl sale, more

In this week’s Best of 9to5Toys: Best Buy’s Apple shopping event, HomePod for $240, Sonos’ Super Bowl mega sale, more…

This week, Best Buy launched a massive Apple shopping event with great prices across the board. You’ll find deals on MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iPhone X/XR/XS, and more in this huge sale. If there’s a piece of Apple tech that you’ve yet to buy, this is a great option to pick it up at fantastic prices.

Of course, though Best Buy has fantastic prices on a ton of Apple tech right now, nothing beats the $240 Prime shipped price of the HomePod currently happening at Woot right now. This is one of the best prices we’ve tracked ever and is the perfect chance for you to pick up one (or more) to add to your collection.

The Super Bowl is just a few weeks away, so it’s time to start getting your home theater experience set up. We already showed you the best TVs to get for the Super Bowl from $200 earlier this week, and now Sonos has stepped in to give you the best audio experience to view the nation’s largest football game with. You can score rare discounts on the Playbar, Playbase, Beam, and more in this fantastic Super Bowl sale, with deals at Sonos directly, Amazon, B&H, and more.
