Sony SRS-XB43 EXTRA BASS Wireless Bluetooth Powerful Portable Speaker | $148 | Amazon
If you have reason to be the most esoteric person at your barbecue, backyard thing, or rooftop hangout, and mom says it’s YOUR turn to use the Bluetooth, then our Prime Day suggestion is this Sony Bluetooth speaker. Play the music only YOU want to listen to for the duration of its 24-hour battery life, like the Minions: Rise of Gru (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), produced by Jack Antonoff and featuring the Minions singing Simon & Garfunkel (bad) and St. Vincent singing “Funkytown” (okay). And if you REALLY want to turn things up? This bad boy can use “Party Connect” to sync up to a maximum of 100 speakers. For $148, no one can question your taste again. Happy Prime Day, and happy listening!
