The biggest shopping event of the summer is almost over, and Amazon Prime Day is delivering substantial savings on just about every type of product the mega-retailer sells. We’re giving you a leg up by splitting the tech offerings out by category, letting you quickly compare items and decide which one is right for you. Amazon has tons of deep discounts on audio hardware, from pint-sized Echo smart speakers to massive party-rocking monoliths. Top brand Bluetooth speakers are on sale right now, and we’ll be updating this story regularly as we spot more bargains over the next two days.
Altec Lansing is one of the most trusted names in audio, so when it ventured into the Bluetooth speaker space, we paid attention. Our review of the Rockbox XL 2.0 praised the deep bass and assertive treble that this chunky unit puts out, as well as its “fully waterproof and dust-tight design.” Dual 15-Watt, 2.75-inch full-range drivers power the left and right channels, while a single 30W, 4-inch low-frequency driver pushes bass in a downward direction. The robust LED panel on the front gives you visual accompaniment to your tunes, and a price cut of over 50% with the on-page coupon is a Prime Day miracle.
Let’s lead off with a juicy $50 discount on a portable speaker that will keep the good times going no matter where you’re at. The Bose SoundLink Flex is a high-performing canister that’s been rigorously tested to meet IP67 waterproof speaker standards. With both USB-C and Bluetooth connections, it plays nice with a wide variety of sound sources and battery life is up to 12 hours on a single charge. In our 4-star review, our audio expert called it “a welcome, versatile option, with an outdoor-friendly build and impressive rumble for its portable size.”

One of the best things about Prime Day is the opportunity to snag products that are already a good value for even less, and the Anker Soundcore 2 portable Bluetooth speaker is a perfect example. Even at full retail price, this speaker is a bargain, pumping out loud audio with decent fidelity (like you’d expect from Anker). 12 watts of audio power and bass-boosting dual neodymium drivers help it fill any room with sound, and the integrated battery can keep the tunes playing for as long as 24 hours on a full charge. At 30% off (and less than $30) for Prime Day, it’s a no-brainer.

Amazon’s smart speaker has undergone a number of transformations, and the current form factor for the Echo Dot hits the sweet spot between size and functionality. In our review, we called it “a useful little smart speaker” with the addition of gesture controls and the ability to act as an Eero mesh network node. All of the usual stuff you expect from an Echo is here, including responsive voice controls and capable but unspectacular sound, great for radio and podcast listening. It’s not going to replace your stereo system but at 50% off you can put one in every room and kickstart a smart home network.

Modern speakers come in all styles, and we’ve got a nostalgic attraction to the JBL Authentics line, which take inspiration from classic styles of the past while incorporating all of the modern advances we depend on. In our review, we said it “produces powerful bass from its cool, retro enclosure and offers all the connectivity features you could want, including Bluetooth, Ethernet, and Wi-Fi, as well as hands-free Alexa and Google Assistant.” With a pair of 25mm tweeters for bright and clear highs paired with a full-range 5.25” woofer and 6.5” passive radiator, you get rich and distortion-free sound no matter what genre you listen to. $100 off is a steal.

Sony is one of the most trusted names in audio going back to the 1980s-era Walkman, so it’s no surprise the company makes solid Bluetooth speakers as well. The main selling point of the Ult Field 1 is the bass-boosting technology, which is triggered by a touch of the dedicated ULT button. One press and it pumps out low vibrations that will rattle a room. This is also a great option for the beach, with an IP67 rating for protection against water, dust, drops, and shocks. In our review, we praise its outdoor-ready design. Taking 25% off is a nice Prime Day discount.
