We're all stuck indoors, but that doesn't mean we're not busy. Between working, cooking, homeschooling kids, and watching pets, you're probably feeling just as frazzled as before, if not more. We've been hunting for deals on gear that might make quarantining more bearable.

Speakers & Headphones
Now's a great time to snag a new pair of headphones (if you need one) and listen to some great music, or upgrade your home theater speakers for the next Netflix binge. Check out our Best Headphones and Best Soundbars guides for more options.
-
Sonos One SL Speaker for $129 ($50 off): Sonos makes some of the best multiroom speakers that money can buy and they're rarely on sale. I like the One SL because it fits just about anywhere, and easily connects to all major streaming services.
-
Sonos One (Gen 2) Speaker for $149 ($50 off): The second-generation Sonos One has bolder, more powerful sound than you'd expect from a speaker its size, which makes it perfect for kitchens and bedrooms.
-
Sonos Beam Sounderbar for $349 ($50 off): Sonos' smart soundbar rarely sees a price drop. You can still get bigger, more powerful soundbars for this kind of money, but none of them have the ease of use that comes with the Sonos ecosystem.
-
Audeze Sine DX Open-Back On-Ear Headphones (B Stock) for $299 ($300 off): Audeze headphones are some of the best money can buy, and this pair is a shocking $300 off this weekend, making it the perfect time to snag insane audiophile headphones for (relatively) cheap.
-
AKG N40 In-Ear Headphones for $100 ($300 off): Speaking of insane headphone deals, AKG's reference-quality in-ears are priced like entry-level earbuds at the moment. These are perfect for those who don't want noise-canceling technology, but who do want extreme silence when listening.
-
Klipsch Synergy Black Label F-300 Floorstanding Speaker with Dual 8-Inch Woofers, Pair for $299 ($799 off): The staggering discounts in audio continue with this deal on a pair of floorstanding Klipsch speakers. Save yourself $800 and get a pair for just $150 per speaker. Heck, why not snag even more and make a full surround-sound system?
Computers & Gaming
Video games are a great way to feel at ease during quarantine time. Be sure to check out our lists of the Best Gaming Laptops, Best Gaming Headsets, Best Game Controllers and Best Gaming Desktops for more recommendations.
-
Trine: Ultimate Collection on Nintendo Switch for $20 ($30 off): Best-selling adventure series Trine is a beautiful platformer that takes a while to complete (and it supports co-op!).
-
Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition on Xbox One for $5 ($25 off): If you've been meaning to replay all the classic Tomb Raider games, you can get them all for six bucks this weekend. A great outdoor adventure substitute if there ever was one.
-
Death Stranding on PS4 for $30 ($30 off): If you're not afraid of bleak, pandemic-stricken worlds, now is a great time to snag Hideo Kojima's open-world game Death Stranding. It's beautiful, and it features unique social elements for this often anti-social time.
-
Samsonite Carrier GSD Laptop Backpack for $40 ($90 off): You're probably not going anywhere anytime soon, but that doesn't mean you won't eventually need to replace that ratty old laptop bag. This one is pretty cheap.
-
Samsung T5 1 TB External USB-C Portable SSD for $180 ($20 off): Everyone can use more storage space, and now's as good a time as any to back up all those baby photos.
-
HP Omen 32-Inch Gaming Monitor for $397 ($33 off): Feeling like your screen real estate leaves a bit to be desired now that you're always working from home? This 32-inch 4K gaming monitor will solve that. Fair warning: It may also make you want to buy another. (You also will need a fairly powerful computer to keep everything running smoothly.)
-
Google Nest Wifi Mesh Router (Two Pack) for $199 ($70 off): If you've been struggling to stay connected to your home internet now that there's a boatload of people and devices at home, check out this two-piece mesh router from Google. They're easy to set up and work like a charm.
Activities
Thinking of learning how to 3D print to build hospital masks? Did you notice how dirty the patio is when you were taking out the trash? Consider nabbing some tools on the cheap to help.
-
Monoprice Maker Ultimate 3D Printer for $340 ($60 off): You can start by using this to print protective masks or other tools for healthcare workers, and then move on to making a cute little dinosaur to put on your desk.
-
Sun Joe SPX2597 Electric Pressure Washer for $70 ($80 off): Pressure washing is one of the most satisfying tasks to exist, so long as you have a decent pair of water-resistant earbuds.
-
AdvanceUP Dual Moto Electric Stand Up Desk for $415 ($85 off): This motorized standing desk is a great way to adjust your position while working from home, preventing long-term injury from being static.
