My Favorite Bluetooth Speaker Is Heavily Discounted Ahead of Prime Day This Week

Have an outdoor gathering you’re looking to spice up? A portable Bluetooth speaker is a solid bet. The Soundcore by Anker Boom 2 is a great way to stream music, and though it usually goes for $130, today you can score it in black for just $100, thanks to a $30 coupon. That’s the lowest price we’ve seen. And if you’d prefer the blue or the green versions, those will cost you just $10 more with a $20 coupon you can apply to your purchase price. 

Sometimes, your phone’s speakers just aren’t enough to liven up an event in your backyard or at the beach, or when you’re just hanging out with friends. This is where a portable Bluetooth speaker comes in handy. There’s a ton available, but if you’re looking for a solid option that won’t break the bank, this is the one. 

This story is part of Amazon Prime Day, CNET’s guide to everything you need to know and how to find the best deals.

The original Soundcore Motion Boom made our best Bluetooth speakers list and was one of the better-value mini boom box Bluetooth speakers we’ve seen over the last few years, selling for around $80. The 3.75-pound Boom 2 has now also made that list. It costs more than the original, 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 thanks to its 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 $100 while the blue and green versions are $20 coupon discounts.

If you’re looking for something larger, Anker also makes the Soundcore Boom 2 Plus which puts out more sound than the Boom 2 and is also a good boom box speaker. It lists for $250 but is currently on sale for $220 after you apply the instant $30 coupon found on the speaker’s product page.
