It all depends on exactly what you consider to be an ultra-affordable speaker these days and how much you’re willing to spend on a compact, durable, and totally “dumb” device for yourself or a loved one this holiday season.
If you think that’s inconvenient, you should probably remember that all of the Google Nests and Amazon Echoes out there are confined to a closed space due to their reliance on a power outlet. The JBL Clip 4, on the other hand, has its very own built-in battery, and compared to the rather modest Go 3, it can keep your tunes going out in the park or at your local swimming pool for a solid 10 hours between charges.
Said discount appears to be larger than almost everything any major US retailer has provided portable speaker fans in the past, matching Amazon’s Cyber Monday deal from nearly a year ago.
In addition to lasting longer on a single charge, the JBL Clip 4 promises to offer slightly more powerful sound than the Go 3 as well while including a handy carabiner in its sleek and easy-to-carry-around package. We know we’ve also said this about the JBL Go 3, but you really can’t do better than the Clip 4 at its (heavily reduced) price.
