5 picnic-approved Bluetooth speaker deals to shop now — Bose, JBL, and more starting at $15
Waterproof exteriors, utility loops, and discounted price tags
You packed the salty snacks, a cooler full of ice and beverages, and perhaps a big blanket or towel to sprawl out on — but before you take to the park or your backyard, don't forget to grab a Bluetooth speaker. I'm of the mindset that no outdoor gathering is complete without an ambient soundtrack playing in the background.
If a portable or pint-sized speaker is missing from your picnic essentials list, you're in luck — I found five epic deals on products by some of our favorite brands, like Bose and JBL, starting at just $15. My top picks, below, are durably made with dust- and water-proof materials, deliver long-lasting battery life, and (perhaps most importantly) pump out quality tunes, no matter if you're looking to stream a relaxing jazz playlist so as not to interfere with good conversation or want to blast your favorite songs at full volume.

Weighing less than a pound, you won't have to worry about this incredibly lightweight, small speaker from Aussie-brand Sunnylife weighing your picnic basket or bag down.

For use, simply hook up to it with MP3 Bluetooth wireless technology and recharge it up to 200 times via a complementary mini USB cable. But hurry — this 48% off deal is labeled as a limited-time price.

Plus, it lasts for around 10 hours of playback. It's our favorite for easy transport of all the other 7 JBL deals at Amazon.

Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3: was $99 now $68 @ Best Buy
The UE Wonderboom 3 is one of the best portable Bluetooth speakers we've tested under $100. It's IP67 waterproof and delivers up to 13 hours of rich 360-degree sound, helping to make it the perfect companion for BBQs, beach days, and music festivals. But the best part: if multiple friends attending your outdoor function own one, you can sync them together and amplify the sound. However, discounts only apply to the Performance Blue colorway with neon pink controls and the Active Black.
