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.

Golf simulators are the way to go when you want to practice away from the course and fine-tune your performance.

Planning a visit? These national parks will require reservations in 2025
Don't lose your chance at a bucket list national park visit this year
Reflections of mountains at Yosemite National Park

It's one of my biggest nightmares that I'll plan an amazing adventure but accidentally miss a permit or reservation for a bucket list activity. These days, permits and reservations are becoming commonplace at some of our most favorite national parks due to the influx of visitors, so it can sometimes be difficult to keep track of everything. As outdoor enthusiasts gear up for the 2025 season, it's always a good idea to check out which national parks require reservations this year. Here's our top list.
Rocky Mountain National Park resumes timed entry reservations

Starting May 23, 2025, Rocky Mountain National Park is resuming its timed entry reservation system. Last year, there were two types of reservations available: the timed entry and the timed entry plus Bear Lake Road, which offered visitors access to all the destinations along the Bear Lake Road Corridor, including Moraine Park, Sprague Lake, the Glacier Gorge Trailhead, and more. Rocky Mountain National Park will continue these reservation packages into 2025.

Visit Yosemite’s Firefall in 2025 — without a reservation
No reservation? No problem. Here's how to see the Yosemite's Firefall in 2025
Yosemite Firefall at Yosemite National Park in Winter

Every February, Yosemite National Park experiences a Firefall, a natural phenomenon that appears at Horsetail Fall (and one of the reasons winter is a great time to visit). When conditions align, the waterfall glows in vivid orange and red hues at sunset, making it look like the water is on fire. Yosemite needs clear skies, sufficient water flow, and the proper sun angle for this to happen. With this extraordinary event taking place next month, Yosemite National Park is once again implementing a reservation system during the weeks ahead to manage the influx of visitors and protect the park's resources.

50% of these reservations were released back in November, with the rest set to trickle through in the days leading up to the event. However, if you're unfortunate enough not to snag a reservation, here's how you can experience the Firefall in 2025 without one.
