6 Top-Performing Speakers from Our Tests Are on Sale for Prime Day, Starting at $42

If you’re looking for a great speaker at a great price, the Anker Soundcore 3 is our pros’ best value thanks to its budget-friendly price, 24-hour battery life, portability, and waterproof construction. It’s lightweight yet loud, so you can bring it with you wherever you go or use it to play music at home.

This teeny tiny speaker packs a punch. I don’t always want to lug a tote bag to the park, so I love that I can literally throw this speaker in my purse and it’ll fit. It’s super light and takes up barely any room in our TV console drawer, and it has decent volume for one room, so it’s the perfect mini speaker for a small apartment.

Another tiny speaker, the Bang & Olufsen Beosound A1 3rd Gen, produced a well-balanced, loud sound in our Tech Lab tests. “This speaker was among the loudest we tested even with its tiny form factor,” Greenwald shared.

The design of this speaker is also inconspicuous, and I think the brown color looks chic and can blend in with your living room decor. The brand claims it has 24 hours of battery life, is light in weight, and is an excellent pick, although it’s a bit pricey.

Super compact and tiny, Bose's SoundLink Micro (2nd Gen) is a semi-flat rectangle that makes it easy to pack in any bag. You can even use the straps on the back of the speaker to secure it to a backpack or cooler handles. It’s not the loudest option, but it delivered volume and sound quality impressive for its incredibly tiny size. It’s a great pick if you want more volume than what your phone can give (but don’t want to be blasting music super loudly).
