Summer is here and if you want to keep the tunes bumping during your next pool party, barbecue or backyard hang, one of the best portable speakers to buy online is the JBL GO2. Regularly $50+, a new Amazon speaker sale discounts the price of the JBL GO2 Ultraportable Bluetooth Speaker to just $39.95.
At just 3.8 x 4.2 inches, the wireless speaker fits easily into the palm of your hand (and tucks easily into a bag or coat pocket). It weighs just 6.5 ounces too. But don't let its small size deceive you: the JBL GO2 delivers big, boisterous sound from its portable package. That's thanks to JBL's high-end audio technology, which has been developed by the brand's in-house engineers over decades of experience. What that means: loud bass and crisp, clear sound -- even from the other side of the room or yard.
The best part of the JBL GO2 is that it is fully waterproof. It's rated IPX7, which means it'll keep playing even if it's submerged underwater. Its durable construction means it can hold up to a fit bumps and bruises too, without affecting sound quality.
A single charge gets you up to five hours of playtime. Use the included audio cable to plug in when the battery is low.
JBL makes some of the best Bluetooth speakers on the market, and the JBL GO2 is a great portable outdoor speaker that will last you through the season. The pint-sized speaker is great for your next park hang, or bring it indoors to soundtrack your next party. Choose from more than a dozen colors online.
The JBL GO2 has a 4.7-star (out of five) rating from more than 27,000 reviewers online. Get is on sale for just $39.95 on Amazon here.
