US Black Friday Bluetooth speakers sales
Sonos Roam:was$179now$134 at SonosWhen Sonos makes a truly portable speaker that not only plays nice with your multi-room audio setup but also brings Bluetooth the party, you know you’re onto a winner. And although it might have seemed a little steep at its regular MSRP, this money is far more palatable – and it’s never been as cheap as this to date. Clarity? Of course: earlier this year, Sonos dropped it briefly to $134, so you’re matching its lowest price as long as you buy between November 17 and 27, which is how long Sonos' sale lasts.
UE Wonderboom 3:was $99.99 now$59.99 at Best BuyThis is one of the most iconic portable speakers, thanks to its tough, fun design and solid sound quality. While we noted in ourUE Wonderboom 3 reviewthat it hasn’t changed much from its predecessor, it remains our top choice for anyone looking for the best all rounder, especially given that previous models have been discontinued. This is the lowest price we’ve ever seen the Wonderboom 3 so we wouldn’t wait to snap it up.
Marshall Emberton:was $169.99 now$99.99 at AmazonThis is the best discount we’ve found for this stylish looking speaker that’s available right now. Amazon is currently offering a solid saving with this 41% discount as it marks the lowest price we’ve ever seen it. We gave it four stars in ourMarshall Emberton review, highlighting its strong battery life of 20 hours and waterproof rating as two standout features.
JBL Flip 6:was $129.95 now$79.95 at AmazonCuriously, it’s only the gray colored model that is selling for an extra $10 off – most of the rest of the colors in the range are available for $89.95. This is a bigger saving than what we saw on Black Friday and Cyber Monday so we’d suggest grabbing this 38% reduction while stocks last. JBL’s Flip 6 is the best mid-range Bluetooth speaker we’ve reviewed, mainly for its straightforward no fuss approach – it sounds great, is built solid and at this low price makes it even better value.
JBL Charge 5:was $139.99 now$119.94 at WalmartIt may not seem like a big discount but it is the cheapest price we’ve ever found the Charge 5. This same 33% saving is also still available atAmazon, which makes it a great post-Cyber Monday deal to take advantage of. We gave it four and a half stars in ourJBL Charge 5 reviewand rate as the best Bluetooth speaker you can buy right now for its reverse charging feature and sound quality.
Tribit Stormbox Micro 2:was $79.99 now$59.99 at AmazonIn ourTribit Stormbox Micro 2 review, we went as far to say that this is the “best-sounding and most fully-featured mini Bluetooth speaker we’ve had the pleasure of testing”, so it’s probably no surprise that any saving on this budget speaker would catch our attention. Amazon is offering 25% off the Stormbox Micro 2, and while we saw it sell for $47.99 during Cyber Monday, this is still a fantastic price for this speaker.
Bang & Olufsen Beosound A1 (2nd Gen):was $250 now$179 at AmazonOur favorite sounding Bluetooth speaker, theBang & Olufsen Beosound A1 (2nd Gen)is finally on sale! While it’s not the cheapest to begin with, this 28% saving makes it a lot more attractive in our eyes. Although, you won’t find this discount on all the colors. This is only available for the green option – but in our opinion this is the better color.
Bose SoundLink Flex:was $149 now$119 at AmazonTheBose SoundLink Flexwas already a great value Bluetooth speaker when we first tested it. With 12 hours of battery life, a rugged yet light build and big room-filling sound, we thought it was worth four stars then but now that it’s down to its lowest ever price, we think this 20% saving is a great deal to take advantage of.
Cleer Audio Scene:was $99.99 now$79.99 at AmazonOur favorite mid-range Bluetooth speaker with an aux-in is on sale this Cyber Monday, which means this has become a lot better value even if the discount is only 20%. It applies to both color options though, so no matter whether you have a preference for gray or red you’ll be able to get this top deal.
Tribit StormBox Blast:was $199.99 now$139.98 at AmazonThis is the lowest price we’ve ever seen our favorite Bluetooth speaker for parties, so a 22% discountanda $16 voucher to take it down to $139 is a great deal to take advantage of. You’re getting big sound with a lot oomph as well as party lights to boot. It’s a fun speaker that sounds great, with plenty of bass. Just what you need to get any party going. This is a lightning deal that ends at 4:30pm EDT/1:30pm PDT or until they’re all claimed (it’s sitting at 40% claimed right now) so be sure to grab it!

It sounds impactful, it’s well-built and solid, and is overall great quality for this kind of price, especially now that its hit it lowest ever price. Amazon is offering a 32% discount on the black model, making our best rated mid-range Bluetooth speaker even better value. Although, be aware that this saving is only available for one model, the rest of the colors in the range have varying prices.
Sonos Move:was £399 now£249 at AmazonGiven that Sonos has since upgraded its first ever portable speaker, the original Move, which we gave four and a half stars in ourSonos Move review,is still a great option for anyone looking for big room-filling sound. It has a premium price tag but with this 38% saving, you’re getting a lot of bang for your buck. This is also close to the cheapest we’ve ever seen the Sonos Move, so it’s not a bad saving.
Bose SoundLink Flex:was £149 now£119 at CurrysWhen we first reviewed theBose SoundLink Flex, we said that it was “relatively affordable” but now that it has hit its lowest ever price, it’s even more of a bargain Bluetooth speaker. You’re getting a reasonable 12 hours of battery life, extreme portability with its compact lightness and big sound with great rhythms and tempos. All in all, the SoundLink Flex has got a lot going for it, especially with this £30 saving, which brings it down to its lowest ever price.
Marshall Emberton:was £149.99 now£115.44 at AmazonNot only are you getting a strong battery life of 20 hours and a rugged waterproof shell, but great sound from theMarshall Emberton, which we gave four stars to under review. We had expected a bit more features for the price though, so given that it is now selling for close to 23% off, we think its value proposition is even better.
Bang & Olufsen Beosound A1 (2nd Gen):was £239 now£185 at AmazonWe’re big fans of this Danish high-end audio company. In ourBang & Olufsen Beosound A1 (2nd Gen) review, we rated the Beosound A1 as the best sounding Bluetooth speaker you can buy. While this isn’t the cheapest we’ve found this speaker – it hit £159 during Cyber Monday – it is still a decent saving. Although, take note: this saving is only available for one color option – the gray mist.
Sony SRS-XB13:was £55 now£39.99 at AmazonAs we noted in ourSony SRS-XB13 review, this Bluetooth speaker was already reasonably priced and while we didn’t rate it too highly, now that it is selling for a 27% discount, we can’t help but reconsider the value offering here. It’s waterproof, has 16 hours of battery life, a USB-C charging port and you can stereo pair two together, making it a fantastic stocking filler for friends and family.
Marshall Willen:was £99.99 now£74.99 at AmazonWe haven’t reviewed this Bluetooth speaker ourselves, but have had the chance to listen to it and for its size, we think it’s a great sounding speaker. Released in October 2022, it offers 15 hours of battery life, and is both water and dust resistant with its IP67 rating. It’s Marshall’s smallest speaker, which makes it one of the most stylish looking at this size. It’s now selling for 25% off this Cyber Monday, which is its lowest price ever.
