In today’s crowded portable speaker market, it’s not enough to simply provide solid performance and wireless streaming. A new suitor in this buyer’s market has to offer a little something extra if it wants to make a splash. Divoom’s new Voombox Outdoor is equipped with the goods to allow you to do just that – literally.

Following the growing trend of Bluetooth speakers that can tag along just about anywhere, the Voombox Outdoor is armored in a sleek casing of ribbed plastic that is both dust and water resistant. At the center of that rugged exterior rests a solid selection of features including Bluetooth 4.0, a rechargeable battery with a 12 hour runtime, an onboard speakerphone, and a stout little 5-driver sound system pushed by a relatively hefty 15 watts of power.

The Voombox Outdoor comes in a variety of colors, including red, blue, black, and green, and also offers a hand strap to string it up for a hands free soundtrack to your outdoor adventures. Best of all, the speaker has an attractive entry-level price tag of $100.

While there are plenty of options to choose from out there, the Voombox Outdoor makes an enticing plea, offering the right features at the right price. You can get your hands on Divoom’s latest speaker starting today.

Snag the JBL Clip 4 waterproof Bluetooth speaker for less than $50

JBL Clip hanging on bag.

JBL is one of the most popular targets for shoppers whenever there are Bluetooth speaker deals, so we expect Walmart's offer for the JBL Clip 4 to attract a lot of attention. The waterproof Bluetooth speaker, originally priced at $80, is down to only $47 following a $33 discount. It's an absolute steal to get this device for less than $50, so we don't think stock will last long for this bargain. If you don't want to miss out, you're going to have to complete your purchase as soon as you can.

Why you should buy the JBL Clip 4 Bluetooth speaker
The JBL Clip 4 is an extremely portable Bluetooth speaker that still delivers rich audio and punchy bass despite its small size. Take it with you wherever you go as it features a redesigned carabiner that you can attach to your bag or belt, as well as an IP67 waterproof and dustproof rating for protection against the elements. The JBL Clip 4 can last up to 10 hours on a full battery, so you won't have to keep charging it over each day, and it comes in several colorways so that you can choose the one that best fits your style.

Bose has a bigger Bluetooth speaker to power your next pool party

Bose SoundLink Max in blue.

Sometimes, your outdoor (or even indoor) gatherings require a bit more power when it comes to blasting out the tunes. Bose's new SoundLink Max is designed for just that scenario, and it can be preordered in black or blue starting May 2 for $399. Shipping expected on May 16 -- just in time for the start of the summer season.

The SoundLink Max is essentially a larger, more powerful version of the existing SoundLink Flex. The two Bluetooth speakers share a lot in common, including their design. Both are fully waterproof and dustproof (and can float) thanks to an IP67 rating, both have a USB-C connection for charging, and both can be wirelessly linked to other Bose Bluetooth speakers and soundbars via SimpleSync.

LG’s pill-shaped Bluetooth speaker doubles as a soundbar

LG StanbyMe Speaker attached to a StanbyMe TV.

You're looking at the new LG StanbyMe Speaker -- a $200 portable Bluetooth speaker that can be wirelessly linked with the company's StanbyMe display. An included mounting cradle lets you attach the speaker to the display's adjustable stand. You can order the StanbyMe Speaker starting March 7 from LG's U.S. website. LG says that following today's launch in the U.S. and Korea, the speaker is scheduled to be available globally.

Though the StandbyMe Speaker connects via Bluetooth to the StandbyMe display, LG's Wow Orchestra feature manages the connection. This feature sends audio to both the external speaker and the display's internal speakers simultaneously for a more immersive sound. Once linked, the display's remote can control both products, and you can see an on-screen display of the speaker's status.
