Deal pricing and availability subject to change after time of publication. Credit: Amazon/Lifehacker Table of Contents Labor Day may be over, but a significant number of Amazon’s Bluetooth speaker discounts are still live. The best prices start below $50, including the Anker Soundcore 2 at $29.98 and JBL Go 5 at $39.95, while the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4 has the largest percentage discount at $59.99, down from $99.99. Bose also has nearly its entire portable SoundLink lineup reduced, so there are worthwhile options whether you want something small enough to toss in a bag or a larger speaker for a backyard.These Bose SoundLink speakers are up to $70 off At $99 (down from $129), the second-generation Bose SoundLink Micro is at its lowest price yet, according to price trackers—and if color isn’t a concern, the black variant is an even better deal at $79.99. This is the Bose model I’d start with if portability is the priority, since it’s small enough to toss into a backpack or take on a day trip. PCMag’s review also gives a useful sense of what Bose improved in the second-generation Micro while keeping that compact design intact.Moving up the lineup, the SoundLink Flex (2nd Gen) is $129, down from $159, while the larger SoundLink Plus is $199 (originally $269) and gives you up to 20 hours of battery life and an IP67 rating, making it a better fit when you want something that can spend most of the day outside . It’s also where I’d start if the Micro and Flex feel a little too small for a patio or group setting. This PCMag review goes into more detail on how the Plus balances portability, battery life, and sound at this larger size.At the top of Bose’s range, the SoundLink Max is $329, down from $399. It’s substantially larger and heavier than the other SoundLinks, but that tradeoff gets you stronger output, up to 20 hours of battery life, IP67 protection, and USB-C that can also charge another device. It makes the most sense if you care more about filling a larger space with sound than carrying the smallest speaker possible—PCMag’s review offers a useful closer look at whether that extra size and price are justified.These Anker Soundcore speakers start at $30 The Anker Soundcore 2 is the least expensive speaker in this roundup at $29.98 (down from $44.99), and it's at its lowest price yet, according to price trackers. At under $30, it’s the most sensible pick if you mainly want an inexpensive Bluetooth speaker for a desk, kitchen, bedroom, or occasional trip without paying extra for newer features you may not need.For something better suited to outdoor use, the Soundcore Boom Go 3i is $59.99, down from $79.99. It offers up to 16 hours of playback and an IP68 rating, giving it more flexibility for pool days, picnics, or trips where durability matters more than keeping the speaker as small as possible. This PCMag review gives a closer look at how its sound, rugged design, and battery life hold up in everyday use. The Soundcore Boom 2 steps things up again at $89.99, down from $129.99, and is the model I’d look at if you want more output for a backyard, pool, or small gathering without moving into the price range of larger Bose speakers. See how that extra size translates into stronger bass, volume, and overall performance in this in-depth review by PCMag.You can save up to $40 on these Ultimate Ears speakers The Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4 is $59.99, down from $99.99 and at its lowest price yet according to price trackers, making it one of the strongest deals here. It gets up to 14 hours of playback, carries an IP67 rating, and even floats, which makes it particularly easy to recommend for pools, beaches, or camping trips. For something smaller, the Ultimate Ears Miniroll is $49.99, down from $59.99 and also at its lowest price yet. It has a built-in strap, up to 12 hours of battery life, and an IP67 rating, so it’s better suited to clipping onto a bag or carrying on a hike than filling a larger space with sound. PCMag’s review is a useful reference if you want to know whether its tiny size comes with any meaningful compromises in sound or usability. What do you think so far? If you want something with more size and power, the Ultimate Ears Boom 4 is $109.99 (down from $149.99), while the Everboom is $149.99 (down from $178.99)—the Boom 4 is the more portable of the two, with 360-degree sound, up to 15 hours of battery life, and an IP67 rating that makes it a solid pick for everyday outdoor use. The Everboom steps things up with up to 20 hours of battery life, a built-in carabiner, and a floating design, making it better suited to longer days by the pool, at the beach, or around a campsite.These Sony speakers are up to $72 off Sony’s SRS-XB100 is currently $43, down from $64.99, making it a great choice if you want a small, affordable speaker that’s easy to take anywhere. The larger ULT Field 3 is also on sale for $138, down from $209.99, and is the better option for longer outdoor listening. It offers up to 24 hours of battery life, IP67 water and dust resistance, and Sony’s ULT bass mode for a deeper, more powerful sound. If you want louder audio and fuller bass than the compact XB100 can deliver, the ULT Field 3 is worth the extra cost. It’s also the better deal, saving you $72. For a closer look at how its larger design and bass-heavy sound perform in everyday use, check out PCMag’s review.These JBL, Beats, and Sonos speakers are discounted, too The JBL Go 5 is $39.95 (down from $59.95) and at its lowest price yet, according to price trackers, making it another easy sub-$50 option for a bag, desk, or smaller room. If you want something with more size and output without giving up portability, the Beats Pill is $129.95 (originally $149.95) and adds an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance, making it better suited to outdoor use.The outlier here is the Sonos Era 300, down to $379 from $479. It’s not really competing with the portable speakers above: the Era 300 is a home speaker built around Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and spatial audio, so it makes more sense as part of a living-room or Sonos setup than something you carry to the park. That said, at $100 off, it’s the largest dollar saving among the non-Bose options. Deals are selected by our commerce team
