Why You Can Trust CNET Pump Up the Volume This Memorial Day With a Limited-Time Deal on the Sony ULT Field 7 Speaker
Holiday savings bring the boom box to under $400.
Boom boxes have come a long way since the iconic serenade scene in the 1989 film Say Anything. They're smaller, lighter, more powerful — and they come with new-fangled technology called Bluetooth.
Whether you're looking for a portable speaker to woo your soulmate or to simply play your favorite tunes this summer, you're in luck. The Sony ULT Field 7, is now 20% off in a limited-time deal on Amazon. That brings this Bluetooth boom box down to just $398 while the deal lasts. Its list price is typically $500, so this deal is pretty sweet.
Best Buy is currently matching the deal with $100 off.
In his review of the best wireless Bluetooth boom boxes, CNET's David Carnoy said the Field 7's sibling, the Sony ULT Field 1, packs a punch with its ULT button, which boosts the bass and makes the sound fuller overall.
The speaker has about 30 hours of battery life and can be oriented vertically or horizontally. It includes LED lighting, a karaoke function and even a port to charge external devices.
No matter where you go this summer, the Sony ULT Field 7 can tag along. It is waterproof, dust-proof and rust-proof. Need something smaller and cheaper? The Sony ULT Field 1 is also on sale, down to $98.
Other options for big Memorial Day savings include the JBL Clip 4 Bluetooth speaker, which is just $50 after a 40% markdown. Carnoy rated this speaker "best for clipping onto a backpack."
The Soundcore Motion X600 Bluetooth speaker is also $50 off, bringing it down to $150. It was rated the top mini Bluetooth boom box overall.
