The JBL Clip 3 is one of our favorite Micro Bluetooth speakers and is currently selling at its lowest price ($ 30). Available in black, blue and gray at that price, it is completely waterproof. Clip 4, which has a new design, will be available in December for 70. Read our JBL Clip 3 review.

The JBL Clip 3 is arguably the best travel-friendly wireless speaker, but if you’re looking for stocking-stuffter ideas, the UE Wonderboom 2, which offers better sound and battery life than the original, is a great choice. This wireless speaker is available in about a dozen fun colors, it can really float and it also looks great for its size. Its list price is $ 100, but it’s currently $ 50 for Black Friday.

This little guy travels anywhere and looks surprisingly good for his size. It is waterproof and also charges via USB-C.
Note that as part of Cyber Monday’s promotion, prices starting November 30 will go up to Rs 37.18.

JBL’s popular Flip 5 sells for $ 70 or about $ 35 (it lists a little over 100 100). It’s a solid little Bluetooth speaker that gets a little better with each iteration.

Bose’s Soundlink Color II has been around for a while, but it’s a better option in its size class and it’s more attractive at $ 80 than $ 130. It’s available in several color options at this price, though not in red in the picture (that’s the color of the review sample I got).

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

I reviewed Sony’s cylindrical SRS-XB23 earlier this year and chose its design and thought it would look great, as it produces the right amount of bass for its size. However, from a sound standpoint, it didn’t really beat competitors in its price range. At $ 60, it’s a more lucrative option.
Sony
Sony’s XB43 is the second number in its line of portable Bluetooth speakers. It is still relatively compact and has more bass and more rich sound than the step-down XB33 and XB23. It is very expensive at price 250 but better deal at better 150. It has an integrated light-show feature and is waterproof.
Amazon
Sony’s XB72 is one of the biggest Bluetooth speakers in Sony’s line and it packs some serious punches. Yes, it is portable but it needs an AC adapter and it has some serious heights, it weighs 26 pounds (12 kg). This is what a party speaker calls it. It can be vertically or horizontally standing and has a light-show feature.
