My Favorite Memorial Day Speaker Sale
The Memorial Day long weekend is (almost) here, and many retailers are already offering discounts on laptops , TVs , headphones , and Bluetooth speakers. If you need a new speaker for your summer getaway, consider these Bluetooth-enabled models, from small, portable speakers with a clip to ones that can provide the music for an entire house party.
Best Portable Bluetooth Speaker Deals for Memorial Day
The JBL Clip 4 Portable Bluetooth Speaker is a beautiful budget speaker that you can attach to your backpack without worrying about weight. According to PCMag’s review , the small speaker has amazing sound, but it won’t have great bass. It retails at Walmart for $46.74 (originally $79.95).
Like the JBL Clip 4, the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 is small and portable, but instead of a clip, it has a flap designed to wrap around your bike’s handlebars (though you can also wrap it around your backpack). The Stormbox Micro 2 has better bass than the Clip 4, longer battery life, and can sync with other Tritbit speakers. It’s on sale for $42.99 (originally $79.99) after using the built-in $5 coupon at Amazon.
If you’re looking for a larger speaker that’s still fairly portable, check out the Sony SRS-XB23 . According to PCMag’s review , it has more presence and an Extra Bass setting that delivers solid sound. Like previous speakers, it is protected from water and dust. It’s on sale for $89 (originally $129.99).
