JBL Clip 4 mini Bluetooth speaker (blue): $50

This IPX7-rated waterproof speaker from JBL is available in seven colors and prints right now on Amazon, but you can only save 30% on the blue one (pictured).

The JBL Clip 4 is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. It's a versatile, budget-friendly speaker option that features a built-in clip (so you can attach it to a tree, your pool bag and more). It offers up to 10 hours of playtime on a single charge.

"It's not going to rattle any windows, but the bass coming out of this thing is a lot better than I expected," an Amazon reviewer writes. "I was expecting it to be tinny like most small speakers."

JBL Flip 5 portable Bluetooth speaker: $100

Save $30 right now on Amazon on this IPX7-rated JBL waterproof speaker that a site review says delivers "stupid loud," "crisp" sound.

Pair two of these speakers together for stereo sound, or pair multiple JBL PartyBoost-compatible speakers for music that fills your whole yard. But even alone, this speaker offers 20 watts of sound, which is not too shabby. It boasts up to 12 hours of playtime, and offers USB-C quick charge. Choose from more than a dozen colors; all are on sale.
