Prime Day Deal: Save 15% on the Modular Speakers I Take Everywhere
Surround sound on the go? This Amazons Prime Day deal knocks the four-speaker pack to $400 , as long as you check the box next to the 15% off coupon. That's the best price I've seen all year, and it might disappear when Prime Day wraps on July 11. A quick search for Bluetooth speakers online, and I get dozens upon dozens of options, which quickly becomes pretty overwhelming, even though I review these products for CNET. There are the more popular Bluetooth speaker options, and the safe buys, like the JBL Charge 6 and the Soundcore Boom 2 by Anker, both of which I've personally used. But each Bluetooth speaker serves a different purpose, so if I'm buying a new speaker, I need to think about what I want out of it. What I'm looking for is a versatile speaker. One that's portable, but sounds high-quality. One that I can use at home and in the office, or toss up at a backyard party. That's where Rocksteady's Stadium 2.0 speakers come in. I can connect an unlimited number of high-quality speakers with the Stadium, including a wireless sub-woofer, for any summer activity I've got going on. They're wireless, portable and have up to 30 hours of battery. A Bluetooth speaker that can morph from travel companion to full-blown party setup Rocksteady's Stadium 2.0 kits all aim to do what most other Bluetooth speakers can't easily do: scale from a single bedside speaker to a backyard surround sound rig, all without the tangle of cables, and still provide high-quality sound. You can go with a single speaker ($150), which offers a dual-driver setup (powered tweeter and mid-bass driver) along with dual bass drums, so you get crisp highs, warm mids and some of that low-end thump. I use a single speaker in my bedroom or office, where it's a relatively confined space, where I don't need too much. This is a single Rocksteady Stadium speaker, great for smaller spaces. Nelson Aguilar/CNET If you want to upgrade your listening experience to something punchier, you can add a dedicated subwoofer ($180) to your speaker. You obviously get more bass, and you notice the difference if you're listening to hip-hop or EDM, or watching a movie with lots of gunfire and explosions. If you want to go this route, I would definitely recommend the speaker and subwoofer pack ($400), which comes with two speakers and a sub. The two speakers with the subwoofer can easily upgrade your TV audio. Nelson Aguilar/CNET But where the Rocksteady Stadium 2.0 excels is in the four-speaker and subwoofer pack. Yeah, it is a little expensive at $600, but if you have the money, it offers the most versatility because you can connect as few or as many speakers as you need for whatever occasion. This is the setup I use the most for everything from backyard barbecues and parties at Airbnbs to listening parties and movie nights. While this is the biggest kit they sell, you can always buy additional speakers to add on to the size, although it might mostly be overkill unless you have a large enough space. Nelson Aguilar/CNET Setting up all your speakers is as easy as a tap of a button Getting the Stadium 2.0 up and running is pretty simple. You can power on any speaker and then hit the Bluetooth icon to pair it to your phone -- you should see a unique "Rocksteady_XXXX" ID. That first speaker will become the host. After that, simply hit the Stadium button on the host and then on each extra satellite speaker, or wireless sub, to add it to the mesh. It takes about 15 seconds to pair all of the speakers into one, and the best thing about it is that your speakers remember this lineup, so the next time you turn them on, they'll all automatically connect, without you having to re-pair them. There are buttons to connect to bluetooth, pair with other speakers, pause and play music, skip songs and adjust the volume. Nelson Aguilar/CNET Once you're all linked up, you can assign each speaker with a left, right or stereo duty designation with a quick toggle, letting you build a two-channel desktop rig for your computer or a bunch of dual-duty speakers for surround-sound in your backyard. The system keeps all channels in sync up to roughly 150 feet, and each box charges over USB-C, so grabbing any phone brick will top them off for the quoted 30-hour run time. And the four-speaker kit comes with a carrying case, so it's easy to travel with all your speakers. On the side you'll find controls to switch the speaker designation (left, both, right), plug in an aux cable and charge the speaker (USB-C). Nelson Aguilar/CNET In short: no app, no cables, no headache -- just place, pair and press play.

This little travel speaker is a best seller and it is now available for just $33, down from its regular price of $60, which is a staggering 45% discount. This deal isn't limited to Prime members: anyone can snap it up when it's live. See at Amazon Sony SRS-XB100 is compact but has strong sound quality no matter where you are. With an improved driver, this speaker delivers clear sound with strong bass so your music will be richer. Its sound diffusion processor makes it spread the sound out in any room so you'll enjoy a better listening experience even from a device as small as this. At only 5 watts of output power, it is surprisingly loud given its size. The SRS-XB100 is very light and comes with a uniquely designed strap so it's no bother to take with you or hook on your bag. Compact as it is, the speaker is capable of withstanding actual adventures in the wild. It's IP67 water and dust resistant so you can take it to the beach or even camping without worrying about damage. The new UV coating adds extra strength, and protects the speaker from exposure to sunlight and normal wear. Despite its compact size, you'll get up to 16 hours of playback on a single charge which means all-day and late-night listening without needing a recharge. The battery indicator keeps you informed when the power is running low so you're never in the dark. Easy and convenient recharging comes courtesy of the USB Type-C port.

The Bose Soundlink Max Portable Speaker Is 25% Off
Bose's outstanding SoundLink Max portable Bluetooth speaker is now on sale with a 25% discount. This drops its price to $299.00 on Amazon from the original $399.00. This great deal makes this great speaker even more appealing. We reviewed the SoundLink Max, and it ended up delivering surprisingly powerful sound despite its small, lightweight design. It gives clear stereo audio with deep, punchy bass, something many small speakers struggle with. All this impressive sound comes from a speaker that weighs less than five pounds, making it easy to carry. The addition of a sturdy, stylish rope handle makes it even more portable, perfect for trips to the park, backyard gatherings, or just moving from room to room. Designed to be both tough and portable, the SoundLink Max has an IP67 rating, meaning it's fully waterproof and dustproof. The top of the speaker has simple, easy-to-use media controls, while the back has a 3.5mm aux input for wired connections and a USB-C charging port that can even charge your other devices. It has up to 20 hours of battery life, so you can enjoy music all day before needing to charge it. The Bose Connect app lets you choose from four different sound settings to match your preferences or the environment you're in. For example, the "Bass Boost" mode works especially well outdoors. The shortcut button on top only lets you pick between two options, line-in or Spotify, which can feel limiting, but is helpful nonetheless. It has been months since the speaker was this cheap from Amazon's online store, so you should jump on it as soon as you can. It is currently on sale for $299.00 on Amazon, which is a 25% discount from its regular price of $399.99.
