This Is the Best Prime Day Bluetooth Speaker Deal [CNET]

While there are lots of Bluetooth speakers on sale for Prime Day 2024, the Soundcore by Anker Boom 2 is my top deal at $90 or $40 off its list price.

There’s a speaker that currently sits at the top of our best Bluetooth speakers list and it’s on sale right now for $90 or $40 off, during Amazon’s two-day Prime Day event. The Soundcore by Anker Boom 2 was already a good value at $130, but at $90, it’s an excellent deal.

I liked the original Soundcore Motion Boom, which made our best Bluetooth speakers list and was one of the better mini boom box Bluetooth speaker values over the last few years, selling for around $80. The 3.75-pound Boom 2 costs more but sounds substantially better, with more than double the power rating of the original, so it not only plays louder but kicks out more bass and offers better clarity at higher volumes (it’s equipped with two tweeters and one subwoofer). It also has a couple of built-in LED lights to help create that party vibe. It’s an impressive-sounding speaker for its size.

Waterproof (IPX7-rated) with a floatable design, the speaker’s battery life is rated at up to 24 hours at moderate volume levels (it charges via USB-C) and you can tweak the sound and customize the lighting with the Soundcore app for iOS and Android. There’s also a USB-out port to charge your devices. 

Note that only the black version of the speaker is on sale for $90 while the blue and green versions are $110.

If you’re looking for something larger, Anker also makes the Soundcore Boom 2 Plus that puts out more sound than the Boom 2 and is also a very good boom box speaker. It lists for $250 but is currently on sale for $180 after you apply the instant $20-off coupon on the speaker’s product page. 

Additional Bluetooth speaker deals on my radar for Prime Day 

Bose SoundLink Flex — $100 ($50 off): This highly rated compact Bluetooth speaker is currently at its lowest price. Read our full review.

Soundcore by Anker Motion 300 — $60 ($30 off): This is Anker’s take on the Bose SoundLink Flex. It doesn’t quite as good as the Bose but cost less.

Tribit Stormbox Flow — $40 ($40): This is a limited-time deal on Tribit’s version of the Bose SoundLink Flex. The price may fluctuate during Prime Day but this speaker is a very good value at less than $50.
