Black Friday has been and gone, and now it's the turn of Cyber Monday. You can consider this to be your last chance to save, and while we might formerly have advised you to hold back on some of the deals below, we can't see figures falling any lower than they are right now. It's now or never, people!
This page has rounded up some of the best Cyber Monday deals on wireless speakers (including smart speakers) and Bluetooth speakers, with advice on whether to buy now or simply avoid them altogether. We'll still be updating it throughout the sales period, so if a deal does move, we'll be there to keep you in the know.
Cyber Monday wireless speaker deals
Sonos Era 300
This is definitely a deal to go for if you're hunting for an outstanding smart wireless speaker. The Sonos Era 300 is a former What Hi-Fi? Award winner and a product that we'd recommend wholeheartedly, so now that it's hit its lowest price, we'd urge you to investigate. The Era 300 likely won't get any lower than this: if you're thinking of getting one, now is likely the time to do so.
Verdict: Grab one while you can
Sonos Era 100
This is one of the best prices we've seen on the Sonos Era 100. It was rare that we ever saw the Era range drop by more than around £20, but a combination of time and the Black Friday period are hauling prices down considerably. Were the Era 100 at a mere £20 off, we'd likely advise you to hold fire for now, but with a £70 discount, this is likely the lowest it's going to get.
Verdict: Want one? Get one
Audio Pro C20
The Audio Pro C20 is one of the newest additions to our pantheon of Award-winning wireless speakers, meaning any price is a good price for the performance provided. We love the C20 for its fantastic sound and breathtaking versatility, and readily concede that a £50 reduction is a tasty saving.
Verdict: Now's the time to buy
Apple HomePod 2
HomePod deals are, to use a cliché, as rare as hen's teeth. It's strange to see the HomePod 2 or Mini drop by more than a few measly pounds, making this deal a blockbuster bargain that we'd urge you to snap up. We're getting the impression that Apple is finally easing the reins out a little with its precious HomePods and their respective RRPs, but even so, Cyber Monday is the time to strike.
Verdict: Grab it while it's hot
Best Cyber Monday Bluetooth speaker deals
JBL Go 4
The JBL Go 4 hasn't been around for long. That said, we've already seen two major price drops, one of around £10 and this stellar deal which ups the ante to take £15 off a pretty dinky RRP. We initially said that we couldn't see the Go 4 fall any further than this, before John Lewis decided to knock the RRP down by an extra £5. Stunning value.
Verdict: Buy it now!
JBL Flip 6
This is the best JBL Flip 6 deal you're going to get. Sevenoaks has also offered some 10 per cent discounts which we're keeping an eye on, but for now, it's Peter Tyson's sales event that has our eyes bulging with imagined riches. The Flip 6 is its 'usual' £89 price at Peter Tyson, made better, and lower, when you factor in that extra 10 per cent.
Verdict: Stop crying, start buying
Dali Katch G2
We've never seen any deal on the Dali Katch G2 before. Dali simply wouldn't give out savings on the five-star Katch until a few weeks ago, resolutely sticking to that static £349 RRP. As they've only just lowered that figure for the first time, don't expect it to sink beyond that. If you want one, get one.
Verdict: A rare treat. Take advantage while you can
Sony ULT Field
This is a tricky one. Much as we like the Sony ULT Field 1, this price takes it to around the same level as the rival JBL Flip 6, a five-star performer that we've always recommended as the best Bluetooth speaker of its size and price for most would-be users. Our Sony ULT Field 1 versus JBL Flip 6 will help sort out the one from the other, but we still feel that the JBL is a better deal thanks to its extra 10 per cent off at Peter Tyson.
Verdict: A good deal, but we'd recommend the JBL Flip 6 instead
JBL Charge 5
The wonderful Charge 5 is always getting a discount. It's still an Award winner after all this time, and with an excellent deal at Peter Tyson taking it lower than it's been in months, we'd recommend you to get one. We'd previously stated that you should hold fire and wait for a lower price, and now that said price has arrived, you're well within your rights to pull the trigger.
Verdict: The time has come. Pull the trigger!
Bose SoundLink Max
We love the Bose SoundLink Max and can absolutely see its appeal as a bold, entertaining and full-bodied speaker that will impress your friends and make your Friday nights go with a bang. It's a big-name brand, too, and we never underestimate the allure that Bose products have on some prospective buyers.
£50 off is the first discount we've witnessed for the Max, making this an even more tempting proposition. That said, we've explained why we feel that a bigger discount on the Award-winning JBL Xtreme 4 could be a better deal, so that spectacular rival, listed below, should be considered first.
Verdict: You'll love it, but you might love the JBL Xtreme 4 more
JBL Xtreme 4
The JBL Xtreme 4 truly is 'that speaker'. It's the best Bluetooth portable that we tested in 2024, and much as we admire the Bose SoundLink Max above, the JBL is in a class of its own as far as we're concerned. Everything about its sonic performance, from that sparkling mid-range to those perfectly handled dynamics, speaks of a product that's a cut above the rest.
For its sonic prowess, build, aesthetics, practicality, usability and an extensive bag of tricks, the Xtreme 4 has to be snapped up when discounts arrive. Now that they have, we wouldn't hesitate to give it our seal of approval.
Verdict: An Xtremely good deal. Get it, don't regret it.
