There’s a reason the Ultimate Ears Boom 3 Portable Speaker has been so popular for so long and ranks among our best portable Bluetooth speakers: It’s just great. One thing that always makes a great product even better is a solid deal, like this 35% discount Best Buy and Amazon have on the UE Boom 3 that brings the price down to $98.

Standing only a little over 7 inches tall, the UE Boom 3 is close to the size of many water bottles, but it packs some impressive audio for its size. The speaker evenly projects your home audio with ample volume to fill a small room, even at low levels and it’s got more than enough might to tackle bigger spaces and outdoor gatherings as well.

Packing all that sound into such a portable design is made all the more useful with the long battery life of the UE Boom 3. In our testing, it ran for 14 hours at 60% volume. And since you might take it on any number of adventures, Ultimate Ears has made it fairly water-resistant and built in an anchor strap you can use with a carabiner.

While one UE Boom 3 is enough to get a small party going, there’s plenty of room to expand, as UE’s Boom app can let you sync loads of its speakers together. So this discount from Best Buy can come in handy if you’re looking to pick up more than one unit of the Boom 3.
