FULL STORY ======================================================================

I sit here writing this article with my phone telling me the temperature outside is a scorching 32C, a figure that is only set to rise as the week progresses. Evidently, summer is in full swing in Australia, and with it will inevitably come parties and social gatherings. Any such event needs a soundtrack, and what better way to provide it than with a heavily discounted Bluetooth speaker?

I assumed the discounted prices we saw during the Boxing Day sales would have been long gone by now, but Amazon is doing what it does best: keeping prices low on top-rated models. Ive found five fantastic discounts on models from industry stalwarts JBL and Ultimate Ears including a huge 36% saving on the JBL Flip 7, which I rate as the best Bluetooth speaker for most people.

So, if you want to be the life of any upcoming party, read on to discover the major savings that are available right now.

Starting with the smallest and the cheapest, the JBL Clip 5 is a go-anywhere model that delivers a sound that really does belie its diminutive size. Its headline feature is an integrated carabiner clip, allowing you to attach it
to a bag with ease. In our JBL Clip 5 review , we said, Its capable of some surprisingly deep bass and delivers this without losing the detail. Sound quality can be affected at seriously high volumes, but otherwise, this is a remarkable little speaker made for the outdoors. View Deal

Ultimate Ears is just as synonymous with party-starting speakers as JBL, and the Wonderboom 4 is a prime example of why. The Wonderboom series has been a favourite of ours since it first launched, and this latest version cements
its status. The biggest update is a USB-C port for easier, quicker charging, and it retains the rich and clear sound from its predecessor. Best of all,
its fully waterproof and designed to float, making it the de facto choice for pool parties. View Deal

Given the fact the Flip 7 sits atop my list of the best Bluetooth speakers, you can pretty much ignore all other suggestions in this article and opt straight for this one. It barely puts a foot wrong, and as our JBL Flip 7 review says, the Flip 7 outperforms its asking price to an almost startling degree. That statement was made taking its RRP into account, so now its had a AU$63.95 discount, it becomes insanely good value. Its packed to the brim
with useful features, including hi-res audio support via USB-C and is built
to withstand virtually anything you throw at it. View Deal

UEs answer to JBLs Flip, the UE Boom 4 is another fantastic, waterproof speaker worthy of consideration. Weve not yet reviewed this model, but we
were suitably impressed with its predecessor, and the larger Megaboom 4. As with many other UE speakers, the Boom 4 delivers sound in a full 360, so everybody can listen no matter where theyre standing. It promises up to 15 hours of battery life, and it can be paired with multiple other UE speakers for an even bigger sound. View Deal
