Whether you’re having a cookout with some friends or family, swimming in a pool, playing some backyard games, enjoying a movie night, or just doing some yardwork outside, it’s always good to have your favorite tunes going. The problem is that most speakers, at least of suitable quality, are not designed to be used outdoors and exposed to the elements. Bluetooth speakers work, but those don’t tend to put off enough sound for a social gathering. Well, you’re in luck, because Best Buy has some outdoor rock speakers on sale for a whopping $800 off today. That’s right, normally $1,300, you can grab the Sonance 2.1-channel outdoor speaker system, with a subwoofer, for just $500. Wowzers. Grab that deal if you’re already interested or we can break down why these rocks are so badass.

Why spend $500 on this 2.1-channel outdoor rock speaker system?

If these were ordinary speakers, the specifications might not be that impressive. They’re decent, yes, but compared to a high-quality surround system they stand no chance. But we’re not talking about a premium surround system, are we? We’re talking about weather-resistant, 2.1-channel outdoor speakers with a subwoofer. Normally, you’d be lucky to find outdoor speakers that sound this good, let alone a system that includes a subwoofer. You gotta’ have that bass.

The system is capable of covering a 700-square-foot area for comfortable listening, perfect for any local backyard, patio, or porch setup. It comes with two 2-way 6-1/2-inch satellite rock speakers, which have 1-inch tweeters, plus one 10-inch rock subwoofer. So, there are three speakers in total counting the sub.

If you’re into tech numbers, they offer 89 decibels of sensitivity for crisp, robust audio, with a 50Hz to 20kHz satellite frequency response range and a 35Hz to 150kHz woofer frequency response range. Moreover, they offer 8 ohms of nominal impedance to ensure efficient power conduction. If you have no idea what any of those numbers or stats mean, don’t worry. It means these speakers sound pretty damn good, especially for an outdoor set. Your next cookout, camping session, or family get-together is going to be a blast.

But here’s the best part: They’re discounted by $800 today. Once this deal is over, you will not find this price available again anytime soon. Usually $1,300, they’re just $500 today. If you have a My Best Buy Rewards account and a Best Buy credit card you can also bring that price down even more with a rewards certificate. Even without extra rewards though, that’s a killer price. Rock on.

Airstream’s newest travel trailer offers same iconic look in a more towable body
Compact, handsome, and with four times more power potential than any trailer in Airstream's storied history
Twin bedroom in the 2025 Airstream Trade Wind 23FB travel trailer.

No RV brand is more iconic and recognizable than Airstream. The classic "aluminum tube" shell has hardly changed in nearly a century. But the company continues to innovate on its already stunning interiors and the tech that undergirds its drool-worthy travel trailers. Case in point: The 2025 Trade Wind 23FB.
Get the low-down on the 2025 Airstream Trade Wind 23FB

The new-for-2025 23FB is the second addition to Airstream's wildly popular Trade Wind line-up. The line debuted back in 2023 with the sole Trade Wind 25FB model, and it was purpose-built for maximum off-grid camping. The 23FB continues in that same vein. It's every bit as versatile, usable, and livable as its predecessor. But by reimagining the interior and shrinking down the overall footprint, it's lighter, slimmer, more compact, and easier to tow, making it especially attractive for campers looking to venture farther off-pavement than typically possible in Airstream's bulkier, full-sized travel trailers.

What are the 4 Majors in golf? Everything you need to know
What are the 4 Majors in golf and where are they played?
A crowd watchign a golf tournament.

The Super Bowl, the World Series, and the NBA Finals are all top games to determine the best of the best. When it comes to golf, there is more than one chance for players to show off their swing. From prizes to prestige, professionals battle it out across four tournaments for a chance to cement their name in golf history. What are the 4 Majors in golf? If you can't get enough of the sport and want to watch the pros battle each other throughout the season, these are the tournaments to tune into.
The Masters

The Masters is the first big tournament for golfers of the year. Known as the U.S. Masters, the Masters Tournament, or simply, the Masters, this tournament started in 1934, and is played the first week of April every year. Unlike other tournaments that rotate where they are played, you will always watch the pros battle for the prize in Augusta, Georgia, at the Augusta National Golf Club, which had just opened one year before in 1933.
Going for the green
The iconic green jacket has been the coveted prize since 1949, though winners do have to give it back one year from their win. To get hyped about the event, the Championship Dinner was introduced in 1952, and is held exclusively for past winners and board members.
Prizes and past winners
Winning this tournament is a life-changing event. With $2o million in total prizes for the players for the 2024 event, the $3.6 million that goes to the winner would set anyone up for a life of good times. That's just for winning once. Jack Nicklaus won six Masters between 1963 and 1986, giving him top honors. Tiger Woods sits in a close second with five wins from 1997 and his comeback in 2019. Nicklaus was the oldest Masters winner in 1986 at 46, and Woods was the youngest in 1997, at 21 years old.

This is what goes into making the perfect Timberland hiking boots
Lessons from a Hiking Boot Expert
Hiking boots standing on rocks

Getting out into the wide unknown is a pillar in our psyche. From the beginning of time, we looked out across the expanse of the wilderness with a wonder for adventure. We looked out among the trees of the forests, the peaks of the mountains, and the sands of the deserts for the first time and decided then and there that we would conquer those landscapes. Of course, we can't do it alone, and we need the right gear to reach the peaks or navigate the forests. That is where Alex Dardinski, Senior Director of Advanced Concepts and Energy for Timberland, comes in. His entire life is built around creating the perfect Timberland hiking boots to help you get out of the office, break away from the mundane life, and discover the world for yourself.

"I have always been very into the outdoors," Alex says. "And after an early career in Architecture and later Product Design, I purposefully sought out a job at a brand that enabled me to design products that matched my passion for being outside. With Timberland having such a rich outdoor lifestyle heritage, it was a natural fit."
