Sunday: JBL, Yamaha, TCL, 1-Year Tidal, Etc

Sunday brings us some audio-related action in the major online retailer daily deals…

We start with New York’s B&H Photo where two name-brand audio products are on sale:

+ JBL EON612 Two-Way 12″ 1000W Powered Portable PA Speaker with Bluetooth Control for $250 after automatically-applied in-cart coupon

+ Yamaha PX3 Stereo Power Amplifier (300W at 8 Ohms) for $300 after automatically-applied in-cart coupon

A day without a headphone at the NewEgg dailies is rare, today they have the new condition JBL LIVE 650-BT-NC, which as the code-names suggest is bluetooth with active noise-cancelling, going for $100 after entering the promo code shown over there…

It’s music subscription time at the Best Buy deals du jour, where $100 gets you a 1-year subscription to TIDAL. This will automatically renew at the $120/year rate for the following year(s) ~ unless you cancel it…

But that’s not all. There’s also some headphone action. TCL is making its big power play these days, and into headphones they have also dived into, and their MTR-0100-BT neckband-style bluetooth earphones go for $18. But apparently they haven’t invested in a humanly-readable product naming scheme 🙂

And for the Europeanly-inclined, Amazon Germany is offering the new condition LETSCOM truly wireless, the Airpod-style with the hanging legs, for 21 euro…
