The best deals on Bluetooth speakers and true wireless earbuds right now

A collection of deals on speakers and true wireless earbuds, just in time for summer Lend an ear to our awesome midweek selection If you buy something from a Verge link, Vox Media may earn a commission. See our ethics statement. We now know that Amazon Prime Day will run from Tuesday, July 12th, through Wednesday, July 13th, and there are already a handful of early Prime Day deals available. Until then, however, The Verge deals team is continuing to sift through the best deals the internet has to offer. For this edition of our newsletter, we've gathered an assortment of excellent audio deals that are perfect taking advantage of the warmer weather or jamming out inside if the warm weather is, well, too warm (sorry, Columbus).   Starting things off on the deals front are Jabra Elite 85t, which are currently on sale at Woot for $139.99 — the best price we've seen on the solid, noise-canceling earbuds to date. However, if you're in the market for a pair of earbuds that are a little more iconic, Woot has also discounted the Beats Studio Buds to $114.99, down from their original price of $149.95.     If neither deal is for you, there are plenty of other terrific sales to cash in on this week, and we'll be back on Friday with more of the same. Woot has discounted the Jabra Elite 85t to their lowest price ever Right now, you can pick up a pair of Jabra's Elite 85t on Woot for just $139.99, which is $90 off the original price and the lowest price we've seen on this model to date. These noise-canceling buds also come with a one-year warranty from Jabra and free shipping if you're an Amazon Prime members, not to mention a two-year warranty that covers the earbuds in the event of any unwanted dust or water damage.   The Elite 85t may not be Jabra's newest set of earbuds — that distinction goes to the Elite 7 Pro, Elite 7 Active, and Elite 3 — but they still offer impressive noise cancellation and, unlike many true wireless earbuds, can pair with two devices at the same time. Other useful features include an IPX4 rating for water and sweat resistance, good on-earbud controls, and a wireless charging case equipped with USB-C.   However, be aware you can only use the right earbud by itself and that the IPX4 rating is actually a slight downgrade from the IP55 of their predecessor, the Elite 75t, and the IP57 protection found on the Elite Active 75t. That being the case, the Elite 85t aren't as suitable for intense workout sessions. Read our review. Jabra's Elite 85t  $140 $230 40% off Prices taken at time of publishing. Jabra's Elite 85t have noise cancellation and a semi-open design, letting them breathe a bit more than the company's other models. One of their most impressive features is the ability to handle multiple Bluetooth connections simultaneously. $140 AT WOOT The Apple-centric Beats Studio Buds are discounted to just $115 at Woot If Jabra's aforementioned Elite 85t are outside your budget but you still want a pair of noise-canceling earbuds, the Beats Studio Buds are on sale for $114.99 instead of $149.95 at Woot until June 24th (or while supplies last). Their noise cancellation capabilities are nowhere near as good as the Jabra Elite 85t's — and they can't pair with multiple devices simultaneously — but they're still a decent, comfortable pair of earbuds that deliver great sound quality on a budget. Plus, they support both Android and iOS features, unlike Apple's AirPods. Read our review. Beats Studio Buds $114.99 $149.95 34% off Prices taken at time of publishing. The Studio Buds from Beats offer support for iOS and Android, with noise cancellation, a cozy fit, and good sound quality for the price. These don't have all of the same features as AirPods, but their broader compatibility may make them the better choice for you. $115 AT WOOT Take the party outside with the JBL Charge 4, which is on sale right now at B&H Photo Normally $179.95, B&H Photo has discounted the JBL Charge 4 in both the black and blue colorways to just $99.99, which remains the best price we've seen on the last-gen Bluetooth speaker. The hardy, versatile device can last for up to 20 hours on a single charge, and is more than capable of weathering the elements thanks to its IPX7 waterproof rating. It also uses USB-C for charging, allowing you to top it off quickly, and even features a built-in USB-A port for charging phones, tablets, and other devices.   In addition to its ability to pair with up to two Bluetooth sources simultaneously, the Charge 4 includes a 3.5mm audio jack to pipe in legacy audio sources. You can even daisy-chain the waterproof speaker with other JBL devices with JBL Connect Plus, which allows for simultaneous playback between devices. Luckily, the speaker offers good sound for its size, whether you use it solo or as part of a pair. JBL Charge 4 $99.99 $179.95 21% off Prices taken at time of publishing. JBL's Charge 4 is a Bluetooth speaker that has IPX7 water and dust resistance, and its 7,800mAh battery can last for up to 20 hours per charge. You can charge a device like a phone via its USB-C port. $100 AT B&H PHOTO Best Buy has discounted the ultra-portable JBL Clip 4 to $59.99 The aptly-named JBL Clip 4 normally retails for $79.99, but is currently on sale for just $59.99 at Best Buy and Amazon. The Clip 4 is one of our favorite Bluetooth speakers, partly because it's equipped with a built-in carabiner that allows you to hook it to backpacks, belt loops, or any other surface that's narrow enough.    Like many of other portable speakers from JBL, the Clip 4 features IP67 weatherproofing, which helps it resist the elements with confidence. It's also rechargeable via USB-C, and can last for up to 10 hours on a single charge, giving it the longevity needed for extended outings. The Clip 4 isn't the biggest or loudest Bluetooth speaker available, but it manages to provide an acceptable compromise between size and sound quality. JBL Clip 4 $59.99 $79.99 25% off Prices taken at time of publishing. JBL's Clip 4 is an ultra-portable Bluetooth speaker that, as the name gives away, can be clipped onto just about anything. What's most surprising is how good and clear it sounds despite its small size. $60 AT BEST BUY $60 AT AMAZON Some more midweek deals I don't know who is crazy enough to give a child a Bluetooth speaker, but the JBL JR Pop speaker is almost too cute to pass up. Currently, you can get this pocket-sized speaker in any of its pastel-tinted colorways at Best Buy for $19.99, which is half off its original price. Not only is the rugged speaker waterproof, but it also lights up so your kid won't lose track of it in the dark.  They might lack wireless charging, but the current discount on the extremely comfortable Sony Linkbuds S shouldn't be ignored. Normally $199.99, Best Buy and B&H Photo have discounted the solid pair of noise-canceling earbuds to $179.99. Read our review. Apple's second-gen AirPods are still available at Target and Walmart for $99.99, their typical sale price. The first-party earbuds usually cost $129.99, making this sale worth looking into if you're an Apple user who doesn't mind their aesthetic and needs a reliable set of earbuds. Read our review.
