3 Bluetooth speaker deals you can’t afford to miss today
sony srs xb12 jbl flip 5 marshall stockwell ii bluetooth speaker deals best buy summer sale 2020 720x720

A portable Bluetooth speaker represents the cheapest way to upgrade the sound of your phone. They also allow you to take any party outdoors thanks to their ruggedness and extreme portability. Not all are created equal, though, but we're sure you'll be able to find a Bluetooth speaker with a set of features that will perfectly fit your needs and budget. Below are the Sony SRS-XB12, JBL Flip 5, and Marshall Stockwell II. All three are on sale at Best Buy starting from just $40. Read on to peruse which one suits you best.
Sony SRS-XB12 – $40, was $60

The Sony SRS-XB12 is proof that a tiny portable speaker can have it all: Great sound, fully waterproof housing, and best of all, affordability. At just $40 at Best Buy (down from the usual $60), this Bluetooth speaker may be cheap, but that doesn't mean it performs cheap. Weighing in at a mere 8.6 ounces and measuring roughly 3.7 x 3.0 inches, this speaker is small enough to fit inside a tote bag or even an oversized coat pocket. A metallic grille protects a single 46mm driver which is responsible for the killer audio. It can go surprisingly loud without any noticeable distortions, with a bass that packs plenty of punch. Of course, it doesn't compare to any large speaker with an actual subwoofer, but it's good nonetheless. Finally, the SRS-XB12's IP67 rating is pretty rare for a speaker at this price point. It's fully waterproof, provided the cover protecting the ports is closed. The Sony SRS-XB12 will make you forget that you're listening to a really small speaker. Get it for just $40 at Best Buy.
