This Is the Best Bluetooth Speaker Under $30
You don't have to pay an arm and a leg to get a speaker with amazing sound quality.
Labor Day weekend is fast approaching, and while the holiday may look a little different this year, some of its staples will still be in effect: gatherings with family members, games in the backyard, or lounging by the pool. And when you're relaxing outside, what better way to set the mood than with some of your favorite songs? Luckily, you don't have to spend a fortune—or risk damaging your pricey electronics—to bring your preferred playlist with you wherever you go. We scoured the market to find the best Bluetooth speaker that won't break the bank and this iLive ISBW108 Waterproof Fabric Wireless Speaker is it.
It starts at just $17, but delivers sound comparable to that of a much larger—and more expensive—device. Better yet, it's Bluetooth compatible and waterproof, meaning if it gets splashed by pool water (or a spilled drink), you won't have to shell out for a pricey repair (or buy a new one).
Measuring just over three inches tall and two inches wide, it's also an easy addition to any travel arsenal—it's small enough to fit in a purse, and won't weigh down your suitcase if you decide to pack it. It even comes with a carabiner clip, so you can easily attach it to your bag for hands-free listening when you're on the go. And battery life? It delivers there, too—it played more than three hours of music before I needed to recharge it.
However, with such high sound quality at such a budget-friendly price, it's highly likely that this petite powerhouse will sell out soon. If you can't get your hands on one, here are four amazing alternatives that you can score without breaking the bank.
