In the quest for space-filling sound, speakers sure are the best way to go and if you are an adventurous music lover, it is best to seek out choices that deliver great audio quality and that are also portable and durable. JBL Bluetooth speakers will not disappoint with a rugged design that can survive the outdoors and if you’re hesitant about a hefty payment, you can bank on Amazon’s booming discounts on the Charge 3 or the Xtreme.

JBL Charge 3 — $49 Off

Taking your music on the go is easy as can be with JBL’s Charge 3. Its compact dimensions and weight of 1.8 pounds give you the convenience to stow it in your bag, while its IPX7-rated exterior gives more room for fun and excitement as you can worry less about wet accidents or bad weather conditions. Just be mindful that it is not completely invincible when submerged to depths greater than 1 meter or for longer than 30 minutes.

Bluetooth technology fuels the Charge 3’s wireless capabilities. Its multi-host capacity of up to three devices allows you to seamlessly switch between playlists or take turns being the DJ with your group of friends. Apart from the typical actions for power, pairing, and playback, you have the option to amplify your listening experience through stereo sharing with other JBL Connect-enabled speakers. More than packing good tunes that resonate high-quality sound across genres and audio profiles, you’ll also be able to take crystal clear calls with its noise and echo-canceling speakerphones.

Called “Charge” for a reason, its 6,000mAh battery can get you either 20 hours of portable playtime or juice up your smartphones and tablets through its USB-C port. Normally priced at $149, you can get this awesome waterproof speaker for $49 less when you order from Amazon.

JBL Xtreme — $130 Off

If you’re all about pushing limits to the fullest, a couple more bucks will get you the JBL Xtreme. At 6.61 pounds, portability is not exactly where it shines but with two metal hooks on either side of this cylindrical boombox, you can simply attach the strap, wear it around your shoulders, and blast bombastic beats. With two external passive radiators strategically placed on both ends, bass heads are set for a frenzy as they’ll be able to hear the bass, feel the bass, and see the bass. And though audio tends to break a little on the highs, it can easily be remedied by lowering the volume which is not really a dealbreaker for a speaker this loud. Plus, with the JBL Connect button in place, you have the alternative to crank up the volume by creating your own sound ecosystem instead.

The Xtreme like the Charge 3 also doubles as a speakerphone, relies on Bluetooth, as much as it can charge up other devices via dual USB ports. Since earth-shaking sound comes at the expense of battery,  its capacity to last 15 hours is no less tremendous. It is only splashproof with an IPX4 rating which means you’ll have no issue cleaning it under running water, spills, or rain but it’s a whole different story when it is thrown off the edge of a pool. It does have a water-resistant, zipper-protected compartment to secure all the ports needed to fire it up.

Get your adrenaline pumping with the JBL Xtreme available at $170 instead of $300 on Amazon. You may even qualify to knock off another $50 with an approved Amazon Rewards Visa card.

This content was produced in partnership with Growatt.
As convenient as today's mobile devices can be, our over-reliance on electronics is not without problems; namely, having to keep all those mobile gadgets charged when you're on the move. Laptops, smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, wireless headphones, and handheld gaming systems (and this list only goes on) all require regular charging, and if you don't like being tied to a power outlet, then a portable power station is what you need. Growatt, an expert maker of smart home solar power and energy storage equipment, has just the solution in its new VITA 550, a compact and highly portable power station that's the perfect solution for keeping all your gadgets juiced up on the go. It was just released at the CES 2023 trade show with the standard price of $529. If you pre-order it before January 31, you can score a $100 early-bird discount that lets you grab one for $429 for a limited time. Between January 10 and January 31, 2023, you can also use coupon code GroVita550 to get an additional $30 off, bringing the price down to $399.

As a solar leader, Growatt has 11 years of experience in the new energy industry, and has supported over three million individuals and families. Growatt's newest product, the VITA 550 features some impressive specs on that front. For example, the 240 watt input support is one of the highest solar intake options in the 500 watt-hour capacity range. It also charges super fast thanks to the 2.5-hour rated charging times via solar, thanks to the high solar input. Most importantly, the 99% MPPT technology delivers a very low conversion loss making the solar generation for the system much more efficient and capable.

We've all run into the situation of needing to charge one or more of our portable electronic devices, only to be nowhere near a power source. It's one of the perennial problems of living in a tech-driven digital age. It's no mystery, then, why portable charging solutions have become so popular, ranging from pocket-sized power banks to large generator-like power stations capable of powering laptops and smaller kitchen appliances. The new Growatt VITA 550 falls somewhere closer to the middle of that spectrum, striking a nice balance between portability and power storage capacity.

Amazon’s superb Echo Studio speaker is just $155 for Cyber Monday
Amazon Echo Studio Alexa Smart Speaker

Thanksgiving has begun to feel like a distant memory as Cyber Monday deals have fully kicked off. Let's get you started on the right path toward the best bargains with this deal from Best Buy, which is offering an Amazon Echo Studio for just $155. It normally sells for $200, but Best Buy has cut the price by $45 for the online shopping holiday. This is a rate typically reserved for holidays, so it could very well be your last chance to grab a decently priced Amazon Echo Studio this year.

Why you should buy the Amazon Echo Studio
Why buy? Long-standing greatness. In our initial Amazon Echo Studio review, we noted that it was the best Echo speaker yet and that the Amazon Echo Studio's 360-degree Dolby Atmos audio gave our reviewer chills. That review was two years ago. Where do more recent assessments place the Amazon Echo Studio? Still quite favorably. Our recent writeup on the best Amazon Alexa smart speakers ranks the Amazon Echo Studio as the best Alexa speaker for audiophiles due to its "class-leading bass" and effective soundstage.
