It's always a good time to buy a new Bluetooth speaker. Almost all major models, from new boys to established masters, will enjoy a decent discount at some point, with slightly older speakers generally benefiting from massive price slashes. Generally, the older a speaker is, the more likely it is that it will fall to new lows as time goes on, but there are still many newer models that drop sooner than previously anticipated. 

With some superb five-star options on the best speakers, 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!

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.

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 $93 at Amazon (save $57)

Beats Pill was $150 now $93 at Amazon (save $57) 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 $60 at Amazon (save $20)

Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 was $80 now $60 at Amazon (save $20)
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 $189 at Amazon (save $60)
Five stars

Sonos Era 100 was $249 now $189 at Amazon (save $60)
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 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.

The lowest-ever price yet on this superb, five-star take on one of our favourite Bluetooth speakers.

Sonos Era 300 was $449 now $355 at Amazon (save $94)
Five stars
Five-star 2020 Bluetooth speaker, crazy price!

Sonos Era 300 was $449 now $355 at Amazon (save $94)
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 $160 at Amazon (save $19)
Lowest price on black finish.

Sonos Roam was $179 now $160 at Amazon (save $19)
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 Amazon (save $50)
Five stars

JBL Flip 6 was $130 now $80 at Amazon (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.

JBL Xtreme 3 was $379 now $239 at Walmart (save $140)
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 $239it's an absolute steal.
Five stars

Sony ULT Field 1 was $129now $98 at Walmart (save $31

Sony ULT Field 1 was $129 now $98 at Walmart (save $31)
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.
