As much as I love decorations, it's the music that really gets me into the holiday spirit. Luckily for those looking to capitalize on the upcoming holiday season, JBL's newer Charge 6 is on sale at Walmart for $154 (about $46 off), which is one of the lowest prices we've seen for the portable Bluetooth speaker. Now, you can play a spooky playlist outside when trick-or-treaters stop by on Halloween.
Maybe I'm just too much of an audio snob to fully enjoy a portability-focused speaker, but sometimes bigger is better in the audio space, and with speakers, that's partly just a matter of physics. Bigger speakers move more air, which in turn equates to more bass, higher volume, and often, less distortion. Nevertheless, you're not going to catch me walking around with a car-sized boombox any time soon, which means some level of compromise in the audio department is always inevitable.
The Soundcore Motion 100's waterproofing, compact size, and handy built-in loop for carrying or hanging make it a perfect shower speaker for when the pool and beach parties aren't an option, and when the great outdoor are calling you back, it's ideal for looping onto bike handlebars, hanging from a backpack or a canopy with a carabiner, or just carrying since it only weighs 1.3 pounds.
Sure, the JBL Charge 5 is also a terrific speaker for indoor listening, but it would almost be a shame to not utilize its IP67 waterproof and dustproof construction. Pool party? Sandy beach? Sudden rainstorm? Bring 'em on. The JBL Charge 5 didn't earn its spectacular 4.7-star rating from over 30,000 Amazon reviewers by shying away from a little water and dust, and it's portable enough to go wherever you want high-quality sound.
