This Groupon deal can gets you a Costco membership for as little as $15

19 hours ago | digitaltrends.com | John Alexander

People that shop at Costco love to talk about being in Costco. Part of that is because it’s pretty great, and part of that is because its at least mildly exclusive. There’s really no point in showing up at a Costco without a membership. So, because we think Sam’s Club and Costco just might be your ticket to more affordable tech during tariff uncertainties, we’ve been searching for way to get you into Costco cheaper.

Recently, the staff has been collecting quality Father’s Day gift deals — deals for fatherly gifts that you might not otherwise splurge on. One deal, in particular, is for the JBL Vibe Beam at $50, which is $10 less than its already attractive $60 price.

We may have recently given Sennheiser a bit of flack for launching earbuds that look like AirPods (which is a pretty common thing to do) but that doesn’t mean they don’t have audiophile-grade offerings. The open-back Sennheiser HD 660S2 are a pretty good example of that. They probably flew under your radar, though, because of their standard price in excess of $600. They’re typically rank No. 2 by cost in our list of the best headphones, right after the $1,000+ Dali IO-12.

They’re Campfire Audio’s Supermoon IEMs. An IEM is a type of earbud (though some may argue it is its own, separate device) that sit directly in your ear canal (IEM stands for In-Ear Monitors) and provide a “pure” sound free of post-processing.

The great news is that its 98-inch version — if you follow You Asked you might heard about it a few days ago — is already hugely discounted. Just how hugely?
