Best Prime Day Speaker Deals at a Glance
Save $111 on this stunning portable speaker from Bang & Olufsen, which our electronics expert selected as the best Bluetooth speaker overall after rigorous testing. Forbes Vetted contributor Lena Borrelli was particularly impressed with the sound quality, including the bass, despite the small size.
Waterproof, shockproof, and with a 12-hour battery life, this portable speaker from Sony is the perfect companion for beach, camping, and other outdoor adventures. (Its ULT bass boost makes for a booming sound, too.) Save 25% on another top Bluetooth speaker pick with this Prime Day speaker deal.
Amazon is known for slashing prices on its own electronics during Prime Day, so it’s no surprise that its smart speaker and home assistant, the Echo Dot, is on sale again this week. But that just means that now is the time to buy if you’re considering the Echo Dot: It’s just $25. (This is also where I should admit that my family owns five of these smart speakers, which we use around the house for everything from playing music to turning off the patio lights at night to setting custom alarms to wake us up in the morning.)
This top-rated soundbar keeps an unassuming profile but delivers impressive sound—and it’s 25% off this Prime Day. Buy it for enhanced listening throughout your home. You can also add additional surround speakers for a more immersive home theater experience.
If you’re willing to spend a little more for bigger, better sound—plus a great design—consider the JBL Charge 5. It’s our top pick for portable speakers, thanks to its loud, clear sound and impressive 20-hour battery life. Plus, it’s pretty compact.
Currently $80 off, this beautiful speaker looks great on desks and nightstands. It’s not meant for the outdoors, nor for larger rooms, but it delivers quality bass and clear sound that will please even the most demanding audiophiles.
Score 20% off another of our favorite portable speakers. This high-end Bose delivers premium sound, indoors and out. It can be synced with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant to integrate it into your smart home, too. Just know that while it is water resistant, it is not waterproof.
Several Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3 portable speakers are on sale this Prime Day, including this blue model. Small but mighty, this affordable speaker delivers quality sound for its size. It’s waterproof, making it perfect for enjoying your poolside tunes for up to 14 hours. And if you want an extra bass explosion, use the Outdoor Boost setting.
This travel-ready mini Bluetooth speaker clips right onto your backpack, so you can listen to tunes while walking your dog or hanging out with friends. During testing, we found that the battery lasted about 10 hours, and USB-C charging keeps things easy. Meanwhile, the 10-meter wireless range means it can stay connected to your phone for easy streaming. Right now, you can save 25% on the speaker , which isn’t a bad deal. (For what it’s worth, we’ve seen the price drop a bit.)
This tabletop speaker is just right for your kitchen, living room, or wherever you find yourself. While we like the brand’s smaller model, the Marshall Willen, for its portability, the 80-watt Stanmore is a better option for entertaining and at-home dance parties. Save $80 with this Prime Day speaker deal.
