Popular JBL Flip 6 plunges to irresistible price with this limited-time deal
A new flash deal may be dropping the JBL Boombox 3 to its lowest price of 2025, but if you're in the market for a more compact Bluetooth speaker , be sure to check out Woot's limited-time deal on the JBL Flip 6. The retailer is selling this well-liked speaker for only $79.95, letting you save $50. That equals a generous 38% price cut from its usual cost of about $130, making the device a true temptation for anyone looking for a portable speaker with loud sound and serious durability. Plus, the Amazon-owned retailer is tossing in its 90-day Limited Warranty, giving you peace of mind that you won't be on your own in case something happens with your new investment. $79 95 $129 95 $50 off (38%) The JBL Flip 6 is a premium portable Bluetooth speaker, boasting an IP67 rating, impressive sound quality, and a stylish, compact design. A favorite among music lovers, it's now available at its lowest price yet. Act fast, as this deal won't last forever! Buy at Woot $30 off (23%) The JBL Flip 6 is a fantastic bargain at its current Woot price, backed by a 90-day Woot limited warranty. But if Amazon is your go-to retailer, you can still snag a solid 23% discount there. Buy at Amazon Of course, it would have been awesome if Woot offered a one-year manufacturer warranty instead. However, you can't argue that the JBL Flip 6 is an absolute steal at its current sub-$80 price, and missing out on the standard warranty may not be such a big compromise after all, given all the value you get for less than $ all, the JBL Flip 6 may be on the smaller side, but, oh boy, it packs a serious punch for its compact dimensions. And if you need more power, you can pair it with another JBL speaker via its PartyBoost functionality. As we said, it's pretty durable, too, boasting a high IP67 dust and water-resistant rating. This gives it complete protection against dust particles and allows it to withstand being fully submerged in water up to 3 feet deep for up to 30 minutes. Then there's its solid battery life, offering up to 12 hours of listening time on a single charge. So, yeah! The JBL Flip 6 definitely deserves its place among the best Bluetooth speakers on the market. And at 38% off, it's an absolute bargain. That's why we suggest you act fast and save now, as the offer may expire any second.

JBL Go 3 Portable Speaker Drops to Near-Zero Price as Amazon Empties Its Best-Seller Shelves
To the best of our knowledge, JBL does not process a magic shrinking ray. But short of that we're having a hard time figuring out how they got so much of their signature JBL sound into a portable Bluetooth speaker as compact as the JBL Go 3. If you'd like to get on the case yourself, the JBL Go 3 Portable Mini Bluetooth Speaker is just $30 right now at Amazon. See at Amazon This limited-time 25% off deal brings the JBL Go 3 Portable Mini Bluetooth Speaker down to the same price it was during the Black Friday and Cyber Week 2024 holiday shopping season, and it's well worth it, especially now that the weather's warm and you'll be wanting to bring your favorite tunes on the go with you to the beach or on a bike ride, or basically any and everywhere you want. Tough Little Speaker The durability and tough construction of the JBL Go 3 are just as big a selling point as its minute size and great sound. It's IP67 waterproof and dustproof, so not only will it keep bringing the sound if it starts to rain, it's also a really great shower speaker. The built-in loop is perfect for hanging over a shower nozzle, or the handlebars of a bike, or for attaching to a backpack with a carabiner for a long hike or camping trip. The outer covering of fabric helps protect the JBL Go 3, and also gives you a better grip on it. But if you do happen to drop it into the pool, relax — it's fully waterproof. Just how small is the JBL Go 3? It's pretty teeny — just 1.6 x 3.4 x 2.7 inches, and 7 ounces in weight. To call it portable is a huge understatement — it's literally pocket-sized, and when you pack it or attach it to something to take it on the go, it'll give you 5 hours of playback time on a single charge. Pop it onto a charger with the included USB-A to USB-C cable, or any USB-C cable you already have, and it'll be back up to full strength in no time. JBL Sound, Of Course Here's the part that really blows our minds. Even with such a tiny construction with built-in waterproofing and dustproofing, the Go 3 still manages to crank out the famous Original JBL Pro Sound, with crisp high notes and resounding bass. It's a simple and easy Bluetooth connection away from doing justice to whatever playlist you send from your smartphone, tablet, or computer. Pick any of the 12 cool colors that the JBL Go 3 comes in, and they're all marked down by 25% during this Amazon limited-time deal. And before you pick one, check out the outstanding 4.8 out of 5 star average rating the JBL Go 3 gets from nearly 48,000 happy Amazon customers. It's just $30 while this sale is still running.
