Forget spooky season, it’s speaker season. Whether you’re relaxing with some vinyl records at home or toting
a party speaker to your next tailgate, Bluetooth and home audio speakers are on sale during Amazon’s clunkily named Big Deal Days (aka, October Prime Day).
Non-Prime members can sign up to get a 30-day free trial, although many of the best deals for Prime Day are available at other retailers if you prefer not to spend money on Amazon.
Of course, speakers are a pretty broad category, running the gamut in size, purpose, and crucially, price. That’s why we broke down our picks into several categories, including wallet-friendly portable Bluetooth speakers, party-ready speakers, and grail-worth hi-fi picks.
Read on for some of our favorite speaker deals during Amazon’s October Prime Day event.
Best Bluetooth Speaker Deals
From Beats to Bose, these are the best deals on portable Bluetooth speakers during Amazon’s Big Deal Days.
Beats Pill
The Beats Pill is not infrequently on sale for this price, but it’s still a solid deal on one of our all-time favorite outdoor Bluetooth speakers.
Ultimate Ears Boom 4 Portable Bluetooth Speaker
Typically $150, the Ultimate Ears Boom 4 is available for $100. The speaker has excellent 360-degree sound and a durable design.
Bose SoundLink Flex
The Bose SoundLink Flex is at its lowest price in months. The compact speaker is easy to take on the go, has intuitive playback controls, and comes in a wide range of colors.
JBL Go 4
JBL’s tiny Go 4 speaker improves over your phone’s speaker, while barely taking up any more space. It’s just $35 during Prime Day.
Marshall Emberton III
The Emberton III speaker is another go-to of ours, thanks to its 360-degree sound and fun design. It’s on sale at numerous retailers, but it’s cheapest on Amazon right now.
Best Party Speaker Deals
Whether you’re tailgating or throwing an early fall backyard get-together, the best party speakers are currently discounted during Amazon’s Big Deal Days event.
Soundcore Boom 2 by Anker
More portable than other party speakers, Soundcore’s Boom 2 still gets plenty loud, and also has the bells and whistles, including LED lights that sync with the music.
Sony ULT Field 5
Sony’s ULT Field 5 speaker packs big sound into a fairly portable package, while the passive radiators add oomph to the bass.
Marshall Bromley 450
Marshall’s stylish Bromley 450 party speaker features an amp-inspired design and room-filling sound, and it’s currently $200 off.
JBL PartyBox 330
JBL’s PartyBox speaker features big sound, and the built-in LED lights help set the mood. It’s currently $130 off.
JBL Partybox Encore
JBL’s Encore party speaker is more portable than some of the brand’s other speakers, and it’s currently $120 off.
Best Home Speaker Deals
From Wi-Fi to hi-fi, there are plenty of home speakers on sale right now.
Edifier M90 Computer Speakers
Edifier’s M90 speakers are one of our favorite desktop speakers thanks to their plethora of connection options, and they’re currently over $100 off.
Sonos Era 100 SL
The Sonos Era 100 SL features the same connectivity options as the main Era speaker, minus the microphone. Right now, it’s $40 off.
WiiM Sound Smart Speaker
The WiiM Sound is one of our favorite Sonos alternatives because it pairs seamlessly with other speakers in WiiM’s system. The built-in touchscreen is also a fun and surprisingly useful addition.
KEF Q1 Meta Bookshelf Speakers
The KEF Q1 Meta speakers frequently go on sale for this price, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a solid deal for an excellent-sounding, attractive pair of passive bookshelf speakers from a trusted hi-fi brand.
Amazon Echo Spot
Amazon’s hardware often gets discounted during Prime Day, and this year is no different. The Echo Spot is over half off and is well suited to use as a bedroom alarm clock.
Creative Pebble V3
Creative’s Pebble V3 speaker is a great option for a desktop because it requires only one USB-C connection for both power and playback, saving space on cramped home office desks.
