  JBL's smaller/cheaper Link 300 is also on discount for $150 (down from $250 MSRP) at retailers including Best Buy, B&H, and JBL's own storefront.

The Google Home Max is quite pricey, even at its Black Friday price of $349. The Link 500, JBL's giant Home Max alternative, shares the same ~$400 MSRP, but it's been discounted by a much more substantial 50%. That's right - the Link 500 is currently just $199.99 at multiple retailers, which is $200 off MSRP and $100 less than any previous sales.

I'll be honest - when we were first contacted about checking the new Tribit X-Boom out, I wasn't expecting much from it. I had never heard of the company, and the design looked a little cartoonish. On top of all that, the $69.99 price tag was much lower than competing models from companies like UE and JBL. But after using it, I've learned that the phrase "don't judge a book by its cover" is quite appropriate here.

Ultimate Ears makes good speakers, but it's not so good at the software end of things. It was stated in the BOOM 3 announcement yesterday that a redesigned app was on the way, and it looks it's already here. However, it removes a ton of features, and the new look is rubbing people the wrong way. Needless to say, BOOM owners are not happy.

Ultimate Ears' BOOM speakers have always been their bread and butter. The company introduced the BLAST line earlier this year, though it hasn't been particularly successful. A 4-month old speaker that launched at $230 shouldn't be selling for $65, but I digress. UE is going back to basics with the BOOM 3 and MEGABOOM 3, which are priced at $149.99 and $199.99, respectively.

On the outside, Ultimate Ears has given both speakers a mild refresh with new two-tone fabric options and even larger crucifix-shaped buttons, but the basic design is still signature UE.

Logitech seems to be having some trouble moving units of its Ultimate Ears BLAST Bluetooth speaker. At its launch price of $229.99, it was priced very high, and Logitech probably sold about three of them. The company has now taken a complete 180 and is offering the BLAST for a stunningly low $64.95 on Amazon just days after Best Buy began offering it for $89.99.

We're almost in shock at how steeply the BLAST's price has fallen.

Ultimate Ears released its latest duo of speakers, the BLAST and MEGABLAST, several months ago. We reviewed them and found that they sounded good, though they were expensive and lacking features that were found in its older speakers. Since then, those features have been added and prices have fallen, making them a lot more appealing. Best Buy is currently offering the BLAST for only $89.99, a whopping $140 off MSRP.

Ultimate Ears's BOOM 2 Bluetooth speaker may be a few years old now, but it's still one of the best on the market. With its recent discounts, it's become an even more enticing buy. But Amazon is currently offering the BOOM 2 for just $74.99, the lowest price we've ever seen, for today only.

The UE BOOM 2 has a bunch of qualities that make it so highly-rated. Its cylindrical shape not only allows for 360-degree sound, but it's also IPX7 water-resistant and shockproof.

When we reviewed the JBL Flip 3 back in 2015, our title read "Competition, Destroyed." Even nearly three years later, it still holds up pretty well against the new entrants in the field, and it can be had for just $59.99 today as part of Amazon's Deal of the Day.

The Flip 3 is on the smaller side, but its sound and bass are incredible for its stature. Its fabric and rubber housing is splashproof and houses a 3,000mAh battery for up to 10 hours of playback.
