Best Prime Day speaker deals on JBL, Bose, Sonos and others
July's Prime Day sale is here, which means Amazon is offering sharp discounts on some of the best speakers money can buy. Whether you're after a portable bluetooth speaker, a compact yet powerful soundbar or a smart speaker to help around the house, something probably just dropped into your price range. Our audiophiles have combed through the sales and put together a list of the best Prime Day speaker deals that stand out from the herd, including top brands like Beats, Marshall, Bose and Sonos. So if you're sick of missing important dialogue in your shows, or you want to listen to music like it's live, check out the list below. Our portable bluetooth speaker picks are some of the best all-around mobile music devices to ever hit the shelves: smaller and lighter than a boombox, better audio than an iPod, and way easier in the long run than learning to play guitar. We've sifted through Prime Day offerings to find the best portable speakers in all shapes and sizes. Anker Soundcore 2 for $29 (35 percent off): The Soundcore 2 is an older bluetooth speaker, but it holds up — fully waterproof, with 24 hours of battery life and bass you can hear on the other side of a pool. It's on sale for less than $30. UE Everboom for $200 (25 percent off): If you want something stronger than the Wonderboom but the Hyperboom isn't portable enough, the Everboom is a great middle ground. Its ideal range is a little narrow, but it makes up for that with 360-degree sound and extreme durability (i.e. so waterproof it literally floats). JBL Xtreme 2 for $255 (80 percent off): The Xtreme 2 is an older model, dating back to 2018 — but as they say on the internet, it checks out. With a maximum output of 40 watts, it's actually more powerful than the Xtreme 4. Even better, this deal includes a pair of speakers that can work together through JBL connect+. JBL Go 3 for $28 (30 percent off): The JBL Go 3 improves on its predecessor with a carabiner-friendly design, five hours of battery life, and IP67-rated waterproofing and dustproofing. It's not exactly powerful, but it's way better than a phone speaker for driving, trekking or camping. JBL Go 3 Eco for $28 (30 percent off): This is the same as the JBL Go 3, but made from mostly recycled materials — 90 percent of the plastic and 100 percent of the fabric is post-consumer. Bose SoundLink Flex 2nd Gen for $99 (33 percent off): This mini speaker from Bose is one of our favorites on the list for hands-free phone calls. It supports both Google Assistant and Siri and runs up to 12 hours on one charge, all while being smaller than a clutch purse. It also kills as a portable music player, though the sound doesn't stretch far enough to fill a room. Bose Soundlink Revolve+ Series II for $179 (40 percent off): The Revolve series was Bose's first line of 360-degree outdoor speakers, and they're still a strong choice today. The Revolve+ weighs about two pounds and can run for 17 hours without recharging. Bose Soundlink Max for $299 (25 percent off): Bose's Soundlink Max marries a classic carrying-case design with audio that sounds like it's coming from a much bigger unit. It comes with a 20-hour battery and IP67-rated protection against the elements. Marshall Emberton II for $95 (47 percent off): Marshall has been making audio equipment for more than 60 years, and still has a thing or two to teach the young'ns. The Emberton II looks like a classic amp, but weighs a quarter of a pound and provides balanced sound for more than 30 hours per charge. Smart speakers aren't just about getting a disembodied voice to do your bidding (or at least as much of your bidding as Alexa can do without hands). On top of assistant support, the picks below serve up legitimately great audio quality alongside useful extra features. The only downside is that they're often overpriced, but that's what Prime Day is for. Amazon Echo Pop for $22 (45 percent off): The latest Echo Pop release continues the trend of making Alexa's best features available on a mini-sized, reasonably priced device. Its half-spherical design fits on any desk or shelf, and its sound output is consistently clear — and gets louder than you might believe. JBL Authentics 200 for $200 (47 percent off): JBL's Authentics line is modeled after a product it sold in the 70s. Its old-school bookshelf-friendly design belies its advanced feat of running Google Assistant and Alexa simultaneously (as opposed to other smart speakers where you have to pick just one). JBL Authentics 300 for $300 (33 percent off): The JBL Authentics 300 can host both Alexa and Google Assistant at the same time, which impressed us enough that we gave it a full review. While we had some issues — namely its tendency to over-emphasize vocals — we can't quibble with its high-range performance or retro design. Flatter, lighter and larger TV screens are nice for visuals, but often sacrifice sound quality to lose weight. If you've found yourself turning on the subtitles for your shows more often lately, you might need a soundbar to augment your TV's built-in speakers. We found a few of the best on sale for Prime Day — Sonos leads this space, but it's not without competitors. Bose Smart for $400 (20 percent off): In our full review of the Bose Smart, we noted that two drivers in the center make its sound feel directional without any other speakers needed — simply cranking up those makes any audio more immersive. You can also link it to a pair of Ultra Open Earbuds (not included) for a private surround sound experience. Bose Smart Ultra for $700 (22 percent off): The Smart Ultra upgrades the Bose Smart with a more sophisticated calibration system which adjusts sound settings to fill whatever room it's in. If you want the Smart's personal surround experience for more than one person, the Smart Ultra is for you. Sonos Beam for $369 (26 percent off): The Sonos Beam is a fantastic choice for a mid-budget soundbar. It's one of the most accessible Dolby Atmos systems, and uses careful audio alterations to achieve a much more immersive sound than other bars of its size. Sonos Ray for $169 (15 percent off): If you're looking to pay a bit less, go with the Sonos Ray to maximize sound quality on a budget. The audio won't wrap around your room like it might from a more premium model, but it's still a vast improvement on nearly all built-in TV speakers. Sony HT-S400 for $178 (41 percent off): Sony built the HT-S400 for everyone who wants a soundbar but not an entire home theater. It's a 2.1-channel system that still manages immersive surround sound and is easy to integrate with Sony TVs. Right now, it's 40 percent off, one of the best prices we've seen on any soundbar. VIZIO 2.0 for $80 (20 percent off): Vizio's budget soundbar makes a worthy alternative to the Sonos Ray. It punches above its weight and gets as close as possible to Dolby Atmos surround sound as a single unit can manage. For less than $100, you'll never mishear a line of dialogue again.

30 High-Five-Worthy Amazon "Internet Famous" Products
Fun fact: Amazon has an "Internet Famous" section curated with TikTok-viral products. Here are a few of the current ones so beloved by reviewers that they are *definitely* worth the hype: Jergens Natural Glow Firming Self Tanner Body Lotion that'll give you the bronzed glow of a spray tan without paying an expensive monthly fee at your local spray tanning salon. Just swipe this on like you would any body lotion, and you should start to see results within a few days. (Most reviewers see results after the third or fourth application.) It's also formulated with elastin, collagen, and green tea extracts to help firm and hydrate your skin while you get your glow on. A racerback workout top made with ribbed fabric so soft, it'll probably become your go-to on days when working out isn't even near the itinerary. No matter when you wear it, the racerback design will keep things cool and breezy all day. The iconic and wildly viral Clinique tinted lip balm in Black Honey, which is designed to give you a natural "your lips, but better" look thanks to its blend of blue, red, and yellow pigments. Don't let the super deep color in the tube scare you — it goes on super sheer and applies more like a lip balm than a lipstick. A hummingbird projection lantern that'll make you feel like you stepped into an enchanted forest every time you go outside. With 8–10 hours of charging via the solar panel, this whimsical beauty will light up for up to 10 hours. Unfortunately, fairies are not included. A popular foot exfoliant treatment — the results are equal parts disgusting and oh-so-satisfying. Just pop these plastic booties on your feet, then kick back for 60 minutes. Within one to two weeks, the dead skin on your feet will literally start to peel off (gross!) and reveal the supremely soft skin that was hiding underneath. (Satisfying!) Skala's Mais Cacho Hair 2-in-1 Conditioning Treatment that's truly a multitasking marvel. You can use it as an in-shower conditioner by applying it to clean hair and rinsing out after three minutes, or you can apply it as a leave-in treatment for all-day moisture that won't weigh your curls down. A waterproof, super lightweight JBL Go 3 speaker — now you'll have the perfect way to blast your ☀️⛵️😎 Summer Vibezzzz ☀️⛵️😎 playlist, because let's be honest, your iPhone's speaker simply isn't cutting it. You'll get five hours of playtime on a single charge, so your pool day will probably already be over by the time "low battery, please charge" interrupts "Walking On Sunshine." A set of easy-to-build Lego daffodils so you can enjoy all the perks of being a plant parent (staring at your beautiful babies and basking in the immaculate vibes they provide) without all of the cons of being a plant parent (having to water them, ensure they have sunshine, fungus gnats, etc). Or a set of ridiculously realistic-looking faux fern plants — you can fool your neighbors into thinking you've suddenly developed a green thumb overnight. If you choose overnight shipping, they're technically not wrong! These are made of fade-resistant silk and plastic, and the wires in the middle of each frond allow you to bend them for a custom look. Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 59 Hair & Body Perfume Mist, a delicious blend of sugared violet, vanilla orchid, and sandalwood that basically smells like frolicking in a field of flowers while catching fireflies. Reviewers say it lasts for a long time, so you won't have to worry about carrying this around for touchups all day. A pack of the Mighty Patch Pimple Spot Treatment — they're made of a wound-healing gel called hydrocolloid that can drain fluids from any open pimples and cover any that are already on the surface. Many reviewers say they're practically undetectable and adhere much better to the skin than other brands. Plus, your derm will be very relieved that you aren't popping it! A cruelty-free lengthening Essence mascara with a whopping 253,000 5-star ratings and some seriously impressive before and after photos. Oh, did I mention it's UNDER $5?! Some reviewers even compare it to expensive brands like Tarte 👀. Unlike other mascaras at previous price points, reviewers say this one doesn't easily clump or smudge throughout the day and is suitable for sensitive eyes. A bottle of Lottabody's super fluffy mousse, which gives you the same curls and bounce of an expensive heat tool in a $4 bottle of magic. Just scrunch some of this through your towel-dried hair and let the blend of coconut oil and shea butter add some extra moisture and bounce to your curls. Reviewers say it's super lightweight and never leaves behind a greasy or sticky residue. A L'Oreal Infallible setting spray that takes just three seconds to apply to your whole face (thanks to wide-spraying microfine mist) and claims to help your makeup last for up to a whopping 36 hours. If you don't feel like parting with $32 dollars for the super viral One Size On 'Til Dawn setting spray, reviewers say this might just work even better. A super convenient D'alba Piedmont spray-on serum to help you get that dewy ~glass skin~ glow in just a few spritzes — so it's perfect for all my fellow lazy skincare lovers. The secret is the Italian white truffle extract, which is meant to help hydrate and brighten. It's also formulated with niacinamide to help even out skin tone and hyaluronic acid for extra moisture. A heat-activated ColorWow anti-frizz treatment that will become a must-have if humidity is your hair's archnemesis. It's designed to provide a protective coating on your strands that helps repel moisture and leaves behind a glass-like shine. Just apply it before you blow-dry, and the glossy results will last for up to three shampoos! A pair of high-waisted biker shorts for those of you who just can't give up the comfort of leggings but don't want to trap in extra heat. These give you the same comfort level while allowing your legs to breathe. This particular pair is loved since the waistband stays put all day long and for the spacious pockets! E.l.f.'s Holy Hydration! Thirst Burst Drops, which might just convince you to save some cash and hold off on trying those Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Dew Drops you've been eyeing. This super lightweight serum is meant to provide an instant ✨glow✨ to the skin, whether you wear it on its own, under foundation, or mixed into your foundation for a radiant finish. Prepare for the onslaught of compliments coming your way. A Moroccanoil treatment that's the absolute definition of a multitasker. Its blend of argan oil and linseed extract can help tame flyaways, detangle, and add some shine. Just apply it to your damp or dry hair from mid-length to ends and let it work its magic. A bottle of Bio-Oil Multiuse Skincare Oil to help moisturize and reduce the appearance of scars thanks to a special blend of vitamin A, chamomile, sunflower, lavender, and vitamin E oils. A cropped tank top-style sports bra that has rave reviews for providing support without skimping on comfort. It features removable cups for a more customized feel and the sweat-wicking material makes it perfect for intense workouts. La Roche-Posay's foaming cleanser for anyone whose skin can't seem to decide if it's oily or dry. (I feel your pain.) It provides enough foaming action to break down excess oil and dirt but is still gentle enough to not irritate your dry spots, thanks to the soothing prebiotic thermal water and restoring niacinamide. A wire-free bra that's earned a jaw-dropping 32,000+ rave ratings from reviewers who say it's super lightweight (like, you might forget you even have it on) while still feeling supportive. Oh — and the straps don't flip and get contorted throughout the day! Imagine not daydreaming about going home so you can finally take your bra off!!! An SPF 46 EltaMD face sunscreen, which reviewers say is a game-changer for acne-prone and sensitive skin since it absorbs super quickly without any residue. The inclusion of niacinamide helps reduce redness and irritation, and it's also a perfect base for makeup, thanks to its fast-absorbing formula. Or an Abib Airy SPF 50+ Sunstick Smoothing Bar — this popular K-beauty pick has a unique curved design that practically hugs your cheekbones as you glide it on. It's also perfect for precisely gliding along your hairline or the sides of your nose, and the semi-matte formula will keep you glowy without looking like a disco ball. The iconic Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask, which will have you waking up saying "new lips, who dis?" It's packed with murumuru seed and shea butter to make your lips feel silky smooth and vitamin C to protect your pout. It's racked up over 35,000 rave ratings so far, with many reviewers saying it takes care of flaky, dry skin overnight. Laura Geller's Baked Balance-n-Brighten Color Correcting Powder Foundation — swirling your brush in this compact will feel like whipping up an invisibility spell for uneven skin tone. It's racked up over 31,000 rave ratings, with many reviewers saying it feels super lightweight on the skin and doesn't settle in fine lines. The wildly popular Topicals Faded Serum, which helps to fade dark spots in as little as two weeks, if that's something you'd like to do. It's formulated with kojic acid to help brighten any discoloration, while niacinamide adds an extra glow and protects the skin barrier. Just spread a thin layer on after cleansing but before moisturizing — reviewers say the results take time, but it's so worth it. Nyx's extreme hold eyebrow gel to keep your brows in place for a whopping 16 hours. Unlike the other countless brow gels collecting dust in your makeup drawer, this one is designed to dry down without a sticky finish — and it won't flake throughout the day!

JBL Go 3 Portable Speaker Drops to Near-Zero Price as Amazon Empties Its Best-Seller Shelves
To the best of our knowledge, JBL does not process a magic shrinking ray. But short of that we're having a hard time figuring out how they got so much of their signature JBL sound into a portable Bluetooth speaker as compact as the JBL Go 3. If you'd like to get on the case yourself, the JBL Go 3 Portable Mini Bluetooth Speaker is just $30 right now at Amazon. See at Amazon This limited-time 25% off deal brings the JBL Go 3 Portable Mini Bluetooth Speaker down to the same price it was during the Black Friday and Cyber Week 2024 holiday shopping season, and it's well worth it, especially now that the weather's warm and you'll be wanting to bring your favorite tunes on the go with you to the beach or on a bike ride, or basically any and everywhere you want. Tough Little Speaker The durability and tough construction of the JBL Go 3 are just as big a selling point as its minute size and great sound. It's IP67 waterproof and dustproof, so not only will it keep bringing the sound if it starts to rain, it's also a really great shower speaker. The built-in loop is perfect for hanging over a shower nozzle, or the handlebars of a bike, or for attaching to a backpack with a carabiner for a long hike or camping trip. The outer covering of fabric helps protect the JBL Go 3, and also gives you a better grip on it. But if you do happen to drop it into the pool, relax — it's fully waterproof. Just how small is the JBL Go 3? It's pretty teeny — just 1.6 x 3.4 x 2.7 inches, and 7 ounces in weight. To call it portable is a huge understatement — it's literally pocket-sized, and when you pack it or attach it to something to take it on the go, it'll give you 5 hours of playback time on a single charge. Pop it onto a charger with the included USB-A to USB-C cable, or any USB-C cable you already have, and it'll be back up to full strength in no time. JBL Sound, Of Course Here's the part that really blows our minds. Even with such a tiny construction with built-in waterproofing and dustproofing, the Go 3 still manages to crank out the famous Original JBL Pro Sound, with crisp high notes and resounding bass. It's a simple and easy Bluetooth connection away from doing justice to whatever playlist you send from your smartphone, tablet, or computer. Pick any of the 12 cool colors that the JBL Go 3 comes in, and they're all marked down by 25% during this Amazon limited-time deal. And before you pick one, check out the outstanding 4.8 out of 5 star average rating the JBL Go 3 gets from nearly 48,000 happy Amazon customers. It's just $30 while this sale is still running.

Look for robust waterproof and dustproof ratings (like IP67), long battery life, and sturdy build quality. These features ensure your speaker can handle the elements and last through long outings, making it a reliable companion for picnics, hikes, or beach trips. Sound quality varies, but the best portable speakers deliver clear vocals, balanced mids, and punchy bass even at high volumes. Some models offer stereo sound or 360-degree coverage, ensuring your music fills the space without distortion, whether indoors or outside. If you value hands-free control or want to tweak your sound, features like built-in smart assistants and app-based EQ controls can add real convenience and personalisation. However, if you just want straightforward music playback, these extras may not be essential. Long battery life means less worry about recharging and more time enjoying your music. Top models offer anywhere from 10 to 24 hours of playtime, making them suitable for day-long events or weekend trips without needing a power source. Sound quality should be clear and balanced, with enough bass to suit your music preferences. Battery life matters, so pick a model that can last through your longest outings without frequent recharging. Portability is key; a compact and lightweight speaker is much easier to carry around. Durability is important, especially if you'll use the speaker outdoors, so check for water and dust resistance. Connectivity options like Bluetooth, AUX, or Wi-Fi should be reliable and compatible with your devices. Extra features such as built-in microphones, app controls, or the ability to pair multiple speakers can add real value.
