Hi there. I have the pleasure of reminding you that today is Friday. Hopefully that means you're about to jump into a relaxing weekend. It has been a busy week full of coverage on some excellent tech deals, and it's also my pleasure to give you the low-down on the best ones you might have missed if you weren't paying close attention to the site this week (plus, a few new ones as a treat, just for you newsletter subscribers). In addition to surfacing a couple of deals, we'll be giving you a heads-up on where and when you can try to get a PS5, as well as how you can get a big discount on a PC game through the Epic Game Store. Scroll down for more! |

If you're looking for a wired gaming headset that can deliver high-end audio, Adorama is offering a great deal on the SteelSeries Arctis Pro that includes its GameDAC base station. Originally $249.99 when it launched, it's just $139.99 for the white-colored headset and black GameDAC. Compared to some other models, it offers an easy way to adjust volume and adjust the game / chat audio mix (both can be done by the large integrated dial on the GameDAC). And in addition to working well on PC, its two optical audio ports allow it to connect to other devices like a PS4, or any other source when you connect it directly to your TV's optical audio port. |

Whether you're in the market for a new Bluetooth speaker, or you're a first-time shopper who doesn't want to spend a bunch, JBL's Clip 4 comes in a variety of colors for the low price of $49.95 at Amazon. It's normally $79.99. I'm partial to the strange combo of grey, blue, gold, and coral. This affordable model has specs you'd find in much pricier options, particularly its IP67 waterproofing and USB-C charging, earning it a spot in our list of the best Bluetooth speakers you can buy right now. It lasts up to 10 hours per charge, and given the name, you'll probably like its built-in carabiner that can clip onto a backpack or purse. |

While most Bluetooth speakers are technically portable, the JBL Clip 4 takes that to a whole other level with its built-in carabiner. |

Google's Pixel 5 that released in 2020 wasn't gunning for the top of the flagship bunch. It has a modestly powerful Snapdragon 765G processor, along with some nice features like a six-inch OLED screen with a 90Hz refresh rate and wireless charging. If those features sound good to you, Woot has the unlocked phone for $449.99. That's $249 off the original selling price, and it should still receive security updates until October 2023. Perhaps waiting two months for the Pixel 6A may be the better move for some people, but this is certainly not a bad value — especially since it's in new condition with a fresh one-year warranty. Read our review. |

The Pixel 5 is one of Google's best-looking phones in its sage green colorway. It's unlocked, with support for GSM and CDMA carriers in the US. |

And now, for something completely different. In addition to the standard Stream Deck that lives on the desks of streamers and creators, Elgato also makes a set of pedals, for making no-look adjustments to your stream by stomping on one of them. Normally, these are $89.99, but you can get them for $77.70. We haven't had the chance to test these, but they seem like a promising tool for creators. The set includes three pedals, which have interchangeable springs for adjustable pressure. In case you're struggling to think of use cases, hitting a programmed pedal can let you seamlessly switch cameras, or trigger special effects, to name a couple. |

A few more deals you should know about: |
- If you have a gaming PC, we highly suggest checking out Epic Games Store, which is hosting its "Epic Mega Sale" from now until June 16th. In addition to deals, it's offering one free "tentpole" game every Thursday, beginning with Borderlands 3. Read on for more details.
- Are you a Walmart Plus subscriber? No? Well, you may want to reconsider that before June 2nd, when it'll have PlayStation 5 consoles available for subscribers. Note: having a subscription won't guarantee you a console, but it definitely increases your odds.
- Check out some of these sales on Apple subscription services at Costco. These rare discounts appear to be exclusive to the members-only shop. Some price cuts are steeper than others, and you can check them out here.
