Here Are the Best Last-Minute Deals on Bluetooth Speakers for Labor Day.
Although Labor Day is over, a significant number of discounts on Amazon Bluetooth speakers are still in effect. The best prices start under $50, including the Anker Soundcore 2 for $29.98 and the JBL Go 5 for $39.95, while the biggest percentage discount is on the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4, which is now $59.99 instead of $99.99. Bose has also slashed prices on nearly its entire line of SoundLink portable speakers, so there are decent options, whether you need a compact speaker to toss in your bag or a larger speaker for the backyard.
These Bose SoundLink speakers are up to $70 off.
According to price tracking sites , the second-generation Bose SoundLink Micro is currently priced at its lowest at $99 (down from $129). And if color isn’t a concern, the black version is an even better deal at $79.99. If portability is a priority, I’d start with this Bose model, as it’s compact enough to slip into a backpack or take with you on a day trip. PCMag’s review also provides helpful insight into how Bose improved the second-generation Micro while maintaining its compact design.
In the higher-priced lineup, the SoundLink Flex (2nd generation) is $129, down from $159, while the larger SoundLink Plus is $199 (originally $269). It offers up to 20 hours of battery life and is IP67-rated, making it a better choice if you need a device for outdoor use for most of the day. I’d also recommend starting with it if the Micro and Flex seem too small for use on the patio or with friends. This PCMag review goes into more detail about how the Plus balances portability, battery life, and sound quality in such a large package.
At the top of the Bose lineup is the SoundLink Max , priced at $329, a reduction from the previous price of $399. It’s significantly larger and heavier than other SoundLink models, but you get more powerful sound, up to 20 hours of battery life, IP67 protection, and USB-C connectivity that can also charge other devices. It’s ideal if you prioritize space-filling sound over carrying a compact speaker— PCMag’s review offers a helpful, more detailed analysis of whether the extra size and price are worth it.
These Anker Soundcore speakers start at $30.
The Anker Soundcore 2 is the most affordable speaker in this review, priced at $29.98 (previously $44.99), and according to price-tracking sites, this is its lowest price to date. At under $30, it’s the most reasonable choice if you need an affordable Bluetooth speaker primarily for your desk, kitchen, bedroom, or occasional travel, without having to pay extra for features you may not need.
For more outdoor use, the Soundcore Boom Go 3i is priced at $59.99 instead of $79.99. It offers up to 16 hours of playback and is IP68-rated, making it more versatile for poolside lounging, picnics, or road trips where ruggedness is more important than a compact speaker. This PCMag review takes a closer look at how its sound, rugged construction, and battery life hold up in everyday use. The Soundcore Boom 2 ups the ante again, priced at $89.99 instead of $129.99, and is the model I’d recommend considering if you need more power for your backyard, pool, or small party without going into the price range of larger Bose speakers. Find out how the larger size translates into more powerful bass, volume, and overall performance in this in-depth PCMag review .
You can save up to $40 on these Ultimate Ears speakers.
The Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4 headphones are on sale for $59.99, down from their original price of $99.99 and currently the lowest price, according to price tracking sites, making them one of the best deals around. They offer up to 14 hours of playback, are IP67-rated, and even float on water, making them particularly suitable for use by the pool, at the beach, or while camping.
If you’re looking for something smaller, the Ultimate Ears Miniroll is now $49.99, down from $59.99, making it the lowest price available. It features a built-in strap, up to 12 hours of battery life, and an IP67 rating, making it more suitable for attaching to a bag or carrying on a hike than for filling a large space with sound. PCMag’s review is a useful resource if you want to know whether its tiny size means any significant compromises in sound quality or usability.
If you need something bigger and more powerful, the Ultimate Ears Boom 4 costs $109.99 (down from $149.99), while the Everboom costs $149.99 (down from $178.99). The Boom 4 is more portable, offers 360-degree surround sound, up to 15 hours of battery life, and is IP67-rated, making it a great choice for everyday outdoor use. The Everboom outperforms it, offering up to 20 hours of battery life, a built-in carabiner, and a floating design, making it more suitable for extended lounging by the pool, at the beach, or camping.
These Sony speakers are discounted up to $72.
The Sony SRS-XB100 headphones are now on sale for $43 instead of $64.99, making them a great choice if you want a small, affordable speaker that’s easy to take anywhere. The larger ULT Field 3 model is also on sale for $138 instead of $209.99 and is a better option for long outdoor listening sessions. It offers up to 24 hours of battery life, IP67 water and dust resistance, and Sony’s ULT Bass mode for deeper, more powerful sound. If you need louder sound and richer bass than the compact XB100 can deliver, the ULT Field 3 is worth the extra cost. It’s also a better value, saving you $72. For a more detailed look at how its larger size and bass-rich sound perform in everyday use, check out PCMag’s review .
These JBL, Beats and Sonos speakers are also discounted.
The JBL Go 5 headphones are priced at $39.95 (previously $59.95), making them their lowest price yet, according to price-tracking sites. They’re another easy option under $50 for a bag, desk, or small room. If you need something bigger and more powerful without sacrificing portability, the Beats Pill headphones are priced at $129.95 (previously $149.95) and feature an IP67 rating for water and dust resistance, making them more suitable for outdoor use.
The exception here is the Sonos Era 300 , which has been reduced from $479 to $379. It doesn’t really compete with the portable speakers mentioned above: the Era 300 is a home speaker built around Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and spatial audio, so it’s more suited to a living room or Sonos system than toting to the park. Still, with a $100 discount, it’s the biggest savings among non-Bose options.
