Amazon slashes prices on UE Boom and MegaBoom 3 Bluetooth speakers

There are a lot of different Bluetooth speakers on the market, but only a few brands that managed to get it just right. You will always be able to pick up a

cheap Bluetooth speaker from Amazon

for less than $25, but if you want something with a bit more boom, it starts to get pretty expensive. Bose, JBL, and Ultimate Ears are a few of the brands that offer great sound quality with pretty steep price tags attached to them. Which is why these rare Amazon discounts on the UE Boom 3 and UE MegaBoom 3 are definitely worth a look.

Ultimate Ears makes some of the best Bluetooth speakers you can buy. In fact, we actually gave the UE MegaBoom 3 a nearly perfect 9 out of 10 in our review. With just the right combination of great sound, a rugged design, and an overall sleek aesthetic, it’s no surprise we decided to give these speakers such high marks. So if you’ve been looking to snag a great deal on Bluetooth speaker as we head into spring, now is a great time to do so.

Whether you’re relaxing by a pool, enjoying a barbecue, or just feel the need to take your music on the go, the UE MegaBoom will not disappoint. With 20 hours of battery life, dust and waterproof design, and gorgeous sound, it has everything you could really want out of a portable speaker. While the original MegaBoom and MegaBoom 2 are still fairly well-rounded speakers, the third generation of this particular model offers overall improvements to the design and sound. The signature big volume buttons make it easy to turn your music up or down, and simple Bluetooth pairing makes connecting your mobile device fairly painless.

Normally priced at $200 for the speaker, a nice $30 drops the price down to a more manageable $170. The durability and overall quality of this speaker make it the last portable speaker you’ll need to buy for a while.

If the MegaBoom 3 is a bit more speaker than you need, then the more affordable Boom 3 is also a great option. Many of the features are pretty much the same, but in a slightly smaller package. Like the UE MegaBoom 3, it’s waterproof, drop-proof, dust-proof, and offers Bluetooth connectivity up to 150 ft. However, since it is a slightly stripped down model, it doesn’t come with the same powerful sound and thundering bass. Additionally, it only has a battery life of 15 hours, which is 5 hours less than MegaBoom.

Normally priced at $150, a solid $30 discount drops the price to just $120. Considering it’s $50 cheaper than the model above, this is a great choice for anyone looking for quality sound under $150.

Amazon slashes price of AirPods Pro before Prime Day 2020
airpods pro staples deal cyber monday 2020 hot

As October 13 and 14 rapidly approach, the early Prime Day deals just keep rolling in. Among the many Prime Day AirPods deals, Amazon has significantly discounted the Apple AirPods Pro by $30. The usual $249 price tag now reads $219 in honor of Amazon's annual markdown event. The Apple AirPods Pro are largely considered one of the best -- if not the best -- wireless earbuds on the market, so this is one deal that you won't want to let slip away. But remember: This is an early Prime Day deal, which means that it's highly unlikely for Amazon to make these headphones available for any cheaper than they are now. You'll definitely want to pull the "checkout" trigger before it's too late.

Although considered more high-tech than the original AirPods model -- they are advertised as "pro" after all -- the Apple AirPods Pro are still remarkably portable and user-friendly. The wireless charging case can hold over 24 hours of listening time at full battery, so you never have to worry about them losing steam on a busy day. Plus, the case's sleek, lightweight, and durable design make the earbuds easy to slip into bags and pockets without causing too much concern over any possible damage.
