Just because the party was canceled this year doesn’t mean you can’t have your own solo party and blow off some songs with the new wireless Bluetooth speakers. Enjoy new speakers while shopping for Black Friday. Don’t know where to look? do not be afraid. We’ve put together a list of the best deals, or at least worth considering, for everything from small Bluetooth speakers under $ 50 to large “party” models that usually cost more. $ 300. I’ll update this post when I find additional deals.

The JBL Clip 3 is one of our favorite micro Bluetooth speakers and is currently available for the lowest price ($ 30). Available in black, blue and gray at that price, it is completely waterproof. The newly designed Clip 4 will be available in December for $ 70. Read the JBL Clip 3 review.

The· JBL clip 3 It’s definitely the best travel wireless speaker, but if you’re looking for sock ideas, the UE Wonderboom 2 offers better sound and battery life than the original. This wireless speaker is available in about 12 fun colors, can actually float and sounds great in terms of its size. The list price is $ 100, but Black Friday is currently priced at $ 50.

JBL’s popular Flip 5 sells for $ 70, or about $ 35 off (listed for just over $ 100). It’s a rugged little Bluetooth speaker that gets slightly better with each iteration.

Bose’s SoundLink Color II has been around for a while, but it’s one of the best options in the size class, and it’s much more attractive at $ 80 than $ 130. It’s not red in the photo, but it’s available in several color options at this price (this is the color of the review sample I got).

I’ve seen Megaboom 3 for $ 100 before, but it’s still close to the lowest price. It’s a little too expensive at $ 200, but it’s a good deal at $ 100.

I reviewed Sony’s cylindrical SRS-XB23 earlier this year and thought it sounded pretty good as I liked the design and produced a decent amount of bass for its size. But from a healthy point of view, it didn’t really beat the competition in that price range. At $ 60, it’s a much more attractive option.
Sony
Sony’s XB43 is the second largest in the line of portable Bluetooth speakers. Still relatively compact, it has more bass and richer sound than the step-down XB33 and XB23. It’s quite expensive at $ 250, but it’s a lot better at $ 150. It has an integrated light show feature and is waterproof.

The Sony XB72 is one of Sony’s largest Bluetooth speakers on the line and is packed with some serious punches. Yes, it’s portable, but it requires an AC adapter and weighs 26 pounds (12 kg), which is quite heavy. That’s what people call party speakers. It can stand vertically or horizontally and has a light show function.
