Portable speakers can be useful in all kinds of situations, from camping trips to simply keeping them with you when moving around the house (don’t use them on public transport unless you like to be hated by the fire of thousands of suns). JBL makes some of our best picks for portable Bluetooth speakers, and several models are currently on sale for up to 34 percent off. The It fell $50 (or 28 percent) to $130, just $10 more than the lowest price we’ve seen so far.

The JBL Charge 5 is a rugged Bluetooth speaker that can charge your other devices in a pinch.
This is one of us . The battery has a battery life of up to 20 hours and you can easily use it to charge other devices via USB-C. The Charge 5 is also IP67 for water and dust resistance.
There are cheaper and still capable options out there, but the Charge 5 delivers bigger sound than many of its competitors. Sound quality is also good, thanks to its bright output and solid low end. Plus, you can pair two Charge 5 units for stereo listening.
Elsewhere as part of There is Xtreme 3 . That’s a 34 percent discount and just $20 more than the record low.
This is another option that we have chosen for us . It’s also IP67 rated, and while it won’t last as long as the Charge 5 (it’ll run for up to 15 hours on a single charge) before you need to top it up, the Xtreme 3 offers more volume. This can make it a solid choice for a picnic or backyard get-together. However, we think it’s playing close or even indoors where you can get the best bass tones.
