Prime Big Deal Days was the perfect time to score a bargain while upgrading your listening game. Some of the hottest options from JBL received markdowns in the 14–38% range at Amazon.

Sony fans were in luck as well. In fact, speakers from the brand got even more significant discounts than JBL. Prime members could score a new XG-500 speaker at half its usual price, meaning you could get $250 in savings on this speaker.

This October, Amazon didn't let just Sony and JBL speaker fans get significant savings on their favorite speakers. We also had Marshall, B&O, Beats and Soundcore models in Amazon's deals section throughout the 48-hour event.
Some of the more notable bargains on these brands were a $50 price cut on the latest Beats Pill. The Marshall Emberton II received an even heftier $70 discount. We saw the same price cut on the boombox-style Soundcore Boom 2 Plus.
What does it mean when a Bluetooth speaker is waterproof?
It means that you can take your speaker to the pool party without any fear of accidental splashes! But not only that. Nowadays, people carry their Bluetooth speakers with them, and it only takes a second of being distracted for a random drink to spill over your precious (and expensive) speaker.
In all actuality, Bluetooth speakers aren't waterproof. The right term is water-resistant, and there are a few ratings that are prominent among Bluetooth speakers.
Depending on its rating, your speaker is capable of surviving:
- IPX7 — Up to 30 minutes after being completely submerged in clean water
- IPX5 — Splashes, spills and even sprays from water-guns
- IP67 — A 30-minute dip in clean water and is also completely dustproof
Just to make things clear, we're talking about clean, room-temperature water here. Remember that pool water and seawater are deadly to electronics, due to their extra spices.
Which Bluetooth speaker should I choose on Amazon Prime Day?
When talking about choosing a Bluetooth speaker, it all boils down to what you want to use it for. If you want it to be capable of filling up an entire room with sound, then a bigger model is a better fit. But if you plan to travel around with it just to enjoy some tunes in the background, then a smaller one will be the better choice.
Discounts typically hover around the 30% mark. Naturally, some products get even more substantial price cuts. Depending on the price, you could save $20-$250 on a new Bluetooth speaker. Keep checking this page as we update it regularly during the event to make sure we show you the best discounts on Bluetooth speakers that can be found online at the very moment.
