Best Black Friday Bluetooth speaker deals
The Clip 4 is a wicked little speaker that clips to your bag so that you can take it anywhere you want. There's 10 hours of battery life so it'll last you through any hike you might take it on. We found some great sound for its size in our JBL Clip 4 review as well, with a surprising amount of bass. I also happen to really like the way that it looks, with its giant keyring styling going a long way in setting it apart from other small Bluetooth speakers. This deal almost makes the Clip 4 half-price for an excellent pre-Black Friday deal.
Perfect for pool parties thanks to its IPX7 waterproofing, the Flip 5 is a portable powerhouse. We had a great time with this speaker in our JBL Flip 5 review. It offers a powerful, well-rounded sound profile. Thanks to its massive passive bass radiators on either side, it also pumps out some very deep bass — perfect for getting a party started. 12 hours of battery life keeps that party going. $59 off is a great price for this little speaker.
The Wonderboom 4 is built for the outdoors with a rugged design and sturdy build. I really liked the speaker in my UE Wonderboom 4 review, especially the surprisingly bassy sound that you might expect from a larger speaker. 16 hours of battery life means you'll be able to get through most of the day on a charge. This $20 discount gives the speaker a new lowest price for Black Friday.
The Bose SoundLink Flex 2 is a compact and powerful Bluetooth speaker with a durable design. This 1.2-pound speaker is water and dust proof and delivered great sound quality in our SoundLink Flex gen 2 review. I love how easy it is to use the custom EQ, so I can really dial it in to a sound profile that I love. Add in 12 hours of battery life and you have a great Black Friday deal at $30 off right now.
With its leatherette carry handle and slick Marshall amp stylings, the Kilburn II would look right at home on stage with Jimi Hendrix or Eric Clapton. It boasts Marshall's signature sound, so expect some epic bass and loads of clarity in the highs. I think this is one of the coolest-looking Bluetooth speakers around, and every time I see one in my local audio store, I glance jealously at its brass logo and stunning build quality. At this price, I might be tempted to buy one as well — $100 off is a great deal, and it brings it down to its lowest price ever.
The Acton III looks just like a Marshall amplifier — only it connects to your phone over Bluetooth and plays your tunes wirelessly. It's a powerful Bluetooth speaker with deep, dynamic audio and it gets super loud. There's 20 hours of battery life, so you'll be listening for a long time — and if you plug your phone in through the 3.5mm jack, it'll last even longer. Save $50 right now.
This is more than just a Bluetooth speaker. Bose has packed in some extra smarts, letting the SoundLink Revolve+ II connect to helpful voice assistants like Alexa. It also pumps out some seriously good audio, with loads of big, deep bass. You can stream higher-quality audio thanks to its Wi-Fi connection, but there's still Bluetooth mode for using with your phone. It has good battery life too, with 17 hours on tap. This $100 discount is an epic deal on a very good Bluetooth speaker.
The newly released SoundLink Max is a bass beast, with some rich, punchy low end to really impress bass heads. In our SoundLink Max review we had a great time with the well-rounded, impactful sound that filled even larger rooms. I love my SoundLink Max so much that I combined it with another one for stereo mode, and now they rival more expensive audio setups. This $100 saving gives the SoundLink Max a new lowest price ever.
This is the perfect party-starting speaker, with incredible amounts of bass and volume so that you can really shake the dance floor. JBL is well known for its bassy sound, and the Boombox brings the 'boom' with a pair of enormous passive bass radiators on either side. A carry handle makes it easy to carry around, and there are 24 hours of battery available to keep the party going for longer than you can keep dancing. Save $100 now, which is the lowest price ever.
I love Bluetooth speakers. I use them around my house, I use them when I'm out and about, and I've even used them in my car. I've had the privilege of testing some of the best Bluetooth speakers around as well, and I track the prices of them throughout the year to help you find the best deal possible.
