Tribit Stormbox Micro 2: was $79.99 now $59.99 at Amazon

In our Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 review , we went as far to say that this is
the "best-sounding and most fully-featured mini Bluetooth speaker we've had the pleasure of testing", so it's probably no surprise that any saving on
this budget speaker would catch our attention. Amazon is offering 25% off the Stormbox Micro 2, which is not its lowest ever price (it has been known to sell for as low as $47.99 in sales seasons), but it is still a $20 saving on an already modestly priced speaker. View Deal

UE Wonderboom 3: was $99.99 now $79.99 at Best Buy

This is one of the most iconic portable speakers, thanks to its tough, fun design and solid sound quality. While we noted in our UE Wonderboom 3 review that it hasn't changed much from its predecessor, it remains our top choice for anyone looking for the best all rounder, especially now that it's selling with this $20 saving although it has dropped as low as $59.99 before. View Deal

Cleer Audio Scene: was $99.99 now $79.99 at Amazon

Our favorite mid-range Bluetooth speaker with an aux-in still discounted by 20% online, which means this has become a lot better value even if it is only a $20 saving. The deal also applies to both color options, which means you don't have to be forced to choose either gray or red. The Audio Scene is essentially a more affordable take on the JBL Flip 6 but with the added benefit of having an aux-in for better sound quality. View Deal

JBL Flip 6: was $129.95 now $89 at Amazon

Curiously, it's only the gray, black and camouflage colored models that are selling for this price the rest of the colors in the range are available for an extra $10 so you're limited if you want to pick up this 32% saving. JBL's Flip 6 is the best mid-range Bluetooth speaker we've reviewed, mainly for its straightforward no fuss approach it sounds great, is built solid and at this low price makes it even better value. View Deal

Marshall Emberton: was $169.99 now $99.97 at Amazon

This is the best discount we've found for this stylish looking speaker that's still available right now. Amazon is currently offering a solid saving with this 41% discount as it marks the lowest price we've ever seen it. We gave it four stars in our Marshall Emberton review , highlighting its strong battery life of 20 hours and waterproof rating as two standout features.

Echo Dot (5th Gen): was 54.99 now 24.99 at Amazon
Amazon's best-selling Echo Dot is still selling for close to a record-low price. The 5th generation smart speaker is back down to under 25, which is a massive 55% discount. Amazon's latest model got four stars in our Echo Dot (5th Gen) review for its improved audio experience, new temperature sensor
and all the handy Alexa features like playing music, answering questions, and checking the weather completely hands-free. Yes, it's smart speaker but if you're not bothered about taking it outside then it's a great buy. View Deal

Sony SRS-XB13: was 55 now 39.80 at Amazon

As we noted in our Sony SRS-XB13 review , this Bluetooth speaker was already reasonably priced and while we didn't rate it too highly, now that it is selling for a 28% discount, we can't help but reconsider the value offering here. It's waterproof, has 16 hours of battery life, a USB-C charging port
and you can stereo pair two together, making it a fantastic stocking filler for friends and family. View Deal

Tribit Stormbox Micro 2: was 59.99 now 47.98 at Amazon

In our Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 review , we went as far to say that this is
the "best-sounding and most fully-featured mini Bluetooth speaker we've had the pleasure of testing", so it's probably no surprise that any saving on
this budget speaker would catch our attention. Amazon is offering 20% off the Stormbox Micro 2, making this a fantastic price for this speaker. View Deal

UE Wonderboom 3: was 89.99 now 69.99 at Best Buy

This is one of the most iconic portable speakers, thanks to its tough, fun design and solid sound quality. While we noted in our UE Wonderboom 3 review that it hasn't changed much from its predecessor, it remains our top choice for anyone looking for the best all rounder, especially given that previous models have been discontinued. This is the lowest price we've ever seen the Wonderboom 3 so we wouldn't wait to snap it up. View Deal

JBL Flip 6: was 129.99 now 89.99 at Amazon

One of the most popular speakers around, and deservedly so. It sounds impactful, it's well-built and solid, and is overall great quality for this kind of price, especially now that its hit it lowest ever price.
