There's never been a better time to buy a Bluetooth speaker. The Black Friday sales are pulling prices down as we speak, and while the biggest savings might be reserved for the day itself, almost all models, from new boys to established masters, will see some form of a discount. Naturally, though, the older a speaker gets, the more likely it is that it will fall to new lows as time goes on, with the best savings to be found on slightly more 'experienced' products. 

With some superb five-star options on the best speakers around, only products we rate highly or consider to be worth the money are featured here, with many gaining places on our best Bluetooth speakers list. It's tough to discern which offers to grab and which to discard, but that's where this rundown of every deal we've found comes into play.

We've tested most of the speakers below, meaning you can trust our advice fully. Hopefully, there will be a brilliant Bluetooth bargain somewhere from the likes of JBL, Sonos, Bang & Olufsen and Ultimate Ears. Let's get saving!

Best Bluetooth speaker deals

Best ever price

Bose SoundLink Max was $399 now $299 at Amazon (save $100)
Bose's SoundLink Max is a hugely enjoyable listen, a big burly champ that fires out an engaging, dynamic and assertive listen that will fill rooms of almost any size with beefy sonic goodness. This is an awesome deal, too, knocking a whole quarter off the original price.

JBL Go 4 was $50 now $40 at Amazon (save $10)Five stars

JBL Go 4 was $50 now $40 at Amazon (save $10)
Adorable to behold and a joy to listen to, the soap-sized JBL Go 4 is a pocket-sized charmer. Rectifying a few of the niggles from the third-gen model, the new kid on the block offers a super-durable build, improved battery life (around 7 hours) and a sound that goes well beyond what you'd expect for this size and price. Student at uni? The Go 4 could be your party-starting partner.
Five stars

Bose SoundLink Flex was $149 now $119 at Amazon (save $40

Bose SoundLink Flex was $149 now $119 at Amazon (save $40)
A slimline, portable Bluetooth speaker that's ideal for the outdoors or splashy zones, the Bose SoundLink Flex blends a sleek waterproof design with a clear and likeable sonic style. Newer models are emerging, too, so the Flex might start enjoying heavier - and more frequent - drops in the future.

Beats Pillwas $150now $100 at Amazon (save $50)

Beats Pill was $150 now $100 at Amazon (save $50) There are lots of Bluetooth speakers around this price and size, including the JBL Flip 6, the Sony ULT Field 1 and the Bose SoudLink Flex. The new Beats Pill does manage to hold its own in this competitive field, and if you're a fan of the brand and like an eminently entertaining sound from a very nice design, this deal makes a good deal of sense.

Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 was $80 now $45 at Amazon (save $35)

Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 was $80 now $45 at Amazon (save $35)
The adorable yet sonically confident Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 has been reduced significantly and remains a steal no matter the price. It's a dinky but powerful speaker with 12 hours of battery life, a healthy IP67 water-proof rating and ultra-portability – a palm-sized speaker that punches well above its weight.

Sonos Era 100 was $249 now $199 at Amazon (save $50)Five stars

Sonos Era 100 was $249 now $199 at Amazon (save $50)
The Era 300's slimmer sibling, the Sonos Era 100, is almost as impressive, offering some of the best sound and sophistication you'll find at this level from a smart speaker. It's still relatively fresh to the market, and as a Sonos speaker, whopping deals aren't always forthcoming, so saving $50 in the sales is worth the effort.
Five stars

UE Wonderboom 4was $100now $80 at Walmart (save $20) If you need more context, read our UE Wonderboom 3 review

UE Wonderboom 4 was $100 now $80 at Walmart (save $20) The new Wonderboom 4 is here, and it's already discounted in the US. We've not even had a chance to review the fourth-gen Wonderboom yet, but we do know that we're big fans of the portable speaker line as a whole and, more importantly, that a $23 discount on a new model isn't to be ignored.

JBL Xtreme 4 was $379 now $300 at Target (save $79)
The JBL Xtreme 4 took all that we loved about the Xtreme 3 and built on it to great effect, resulting in a Bluetooth boombox that sounds masterful no matter what you throw at it. This is the lowest price for the Xtreme 4 we've seen thus far, meaning you'll be getting the best price possible on a very fresh, up-to-date unit.
Lowest price on blue finish.

JBL Charge 5 Wi-Fi was $230 now $145 at Amazon (save $85)
The lowest-ever price yet on this superb, five-star take on one of our favourite Bluetooth speakers. The JBL Charge 5 Wi-Fi takes everything we love about the Bluetooth-only original and adds wi-fi connectivity as well as a slightly sharpened sonic profile. Want Airplay 2, Spotify Connect and Alexa Multiroom added to an all-time classic, plus over 30 per cent off? Of course you do.

JBL Charge 5 was $180 now $126 at Walmart (save $54)
The What Hi-Fi? Award-winning JBL Charge 5 speaker is usually available at a discount, but you need to buy at the right time to ensure you get the best deal possible. Whatever the case, a deal is not to be sniffed at – the Charge 5 is an excellent-sounding, no-nonsense Bluetooth speaker that has a legacy of excellent Charge models behind it.

The Beosound A1 (2nd Gen) delivers a pleasing but authoritative performance that you'd be happy listening to throughout the day and the night. Throw in its classy design and the bonus of Alexa and you're looking at a top performer at a very spicy discount.

UE Wonderboom 3 was $100 now $56 Amazon (save $44)
The charming little UE Wonderboom 3 is a fun, funky speaker that furnishes you with a great sound-to-size ratio alongside convenient portability and an IP67 waterproof rating. At just $56, the Wonderboom is almost 50 per cent off its original asking price, though drops vary depending on which colour you like (pink's the best, obviously).

Sonos Era 300 was $449 now $359 at Amazon (save $90)Five stars
Five-star 2020 Bluetooth speaker, crazy price!

Sonos Era 300 was $449 now $359 at Amazon (save $90)
The excellent, spatial audio-toting Sonos Era 300 is starting to receive regular discounts, and that can only be a good thing for buyers. We'd completely sold on its huge, expressive sound and extensive streaming features- even that odd hourglass design is growing on us.
Five stars

Sonos Roamwas $179now $161 at Amazon (save $18)Lowest price on black finish.

Sonos Roam was $179 now $161 at Amazon (save $18)
Sonos is known for its attractive, full-sounding speakers, and while the Sonos Roam doesn't quite hit the heights reached by the likes of the Era 100 and 300 smart speakers, it's still a nicely made, robust unit full of musical muscle. The Roam 2 is also available, but we'd recommend sticking with the original Roam for the best deals, especially considering that the newer model didn't really upgrade the sound.
Lowest price on black finish.

JBL Flip 6was $130now $80 at Walmart (save $50)Five stars

JBL Flip 6 was $130 now $80 at Walmart (save $50)
Coming with excellent clarity and separation, punchy bass, and even a useful EQ system, the Flip 6 sets the standard for a Bluetooth speaker at its price. Thankfully, you can get yours for $31 off, making this not just a great speaker but great value too.
Five stars

JBL Xtreme 3 was $379now$215 at Walmart (save $164)Five stars

JBL Xtreme 3 was $379 now $215 at Walmart (save $164)
The five-star JBL Xtreme 3 made a name for itself thanks to its rugged build, impressive detail, dynamics abilities and strong sense of timing. We loved this speaker at its original $379, and at just $214 it's an absolute steal.
Five stars

Sony ULT Field 1 was $129now $99 at Walmart (save $30

Sony ULT Field 1 was $129 now $99 at Walmart (save $30)
The Sony ULT Field 1 has a lot going for it, especially for users who want two distinct sound profiles - one bass-boosted and one more natural - alongside a very healthy stable of features and a reassuringly sturdy Sony build. If you want a Sony-made alternative to the JBL Flip 6 or the Beats Pill, this is the place to look.

Amazon Echo Dot (5th generation)was $50now $23 at Amazon (save $27)Five stars

Amazon Echo Dot (5th generation) was $50 now $23 at Amazon (save $27)
Amazon's fifth incarnation of the Echo Dot is a five-star speaker with a surprising a202mount of wallop. It may be small, but the dinky Dot comes across as authoritative and musical no matter the volume. It's also kitted out with the excellent Alexa smart assistant and is finished to a high standard. A no-brainer if you're an Amazon acolyte.
