Amazon is now offering the Bose Portable Smart AirPlay 2 Speaker for $349 shipped in both colorways. While you would more typically pay $399, today’s offer is marking a new 2022 low at $10 below our previous mention and a total of $50 off. The model with bundled charging cradle is also $50 off, as well. Centered around a 360-degree internal audio array, the Bose Portable Speaker packs a portable design that can be carried around indoors or out onto the patio as the weather warms up. It packs 12-hour battery life to complement all of the built-in smart features like AirPlay 2 and Alexa, as well as an IPX4 water-resistance rating for some extra versatility. You can learn more in our announcement coverage, as well.
While not quite as capable in the sound department, a notable alternative that lets you make out for less cash would be the Sonos Roam at $179. This portable speaker also comes in one of two styles and delivers on-the-go listening with a built-in battery. Its Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity matches the lead deal, and offers up AirPlay 2 support on top of Alexa and Google integration, too.
Speaking of Sonos, the company is currently running one of its rare in-house refurbished sales that’s offering the best prices of the year across its collection of smart speakers. Starting from $139, you’ll find everything from the high-end home theater upgrades with AirPlay 2 to more affordable portable models and everything in-between.
Bose Portable Smart Speaker features:
The Portable Smart Speaker is a wireless home speaker, a portable Bluetooth speaker, and a voice-controlled speaker, all in one. Around the house, you can move it from room to room — and when you leave home, you can take it with you. Anywhere with Wi-Fi, you can control it with your voice and stream music directly from the cloud. Outside Wi-Fi range, you can control it like any other portable speaker with your mobile phone or tablet via Bluetooth and listen to anything you can play on your device.
