Save $30: As of November 10, the Sony SRS-XB13 EXTRA BASS Bluetooth speaker is on sale for $29.99 instead of $59.99 at Amazon — which is a discount of 50% and the device's lowest price to date.

Black Friday 2023 is upon us, which means now might be the perfect time to invest in tech you've been wanting to cop for a long time. In our humble opinion, everyoneneeds and deserves a high-quality Bluetooth speaker which they can use to blast all their favorite songs poolside in the summer or while decorating the tree in the winter. Not all speakers are worth buying, but Sony has proved to be a veritable leader in the world of audio tech. This is your chance to experience some Sony magic for yourself.

As of November 10, you can get the brand's SRS-XB13 EXTRA BASS Bluetooth speaker for a whopping 50% off at Amazon. The lowest this speaker has ever sold for was $39.99, so its current price of $29.99 is worthy of applause (and some cheers, for good measure). Though Amazon's official Black Friday sale is set to start on Nov. 17, we're clearly already seeing discounts on top-quality products at the retailer's site. Perhaps this trusty little speaker will drop even further in price closer to the Nov.17-27 date range; in that case, we recommend you bookmark its Amazon page ASAP to stay in the know.

The Sony SRS-XB13 EXTRA BASS Bluetooth speaker has the advantage of a Sound Diffusion Processor, which ensures the generated audio spreads far and wide in whatever room (or outdoor area) you place it. The "EXTRA BASS" in its name indicates that this speaker also provides bass-boosted, lower frequency tones without distortion — always a win, especially when this feature doesn't cost you a ton. Its IP67 rating ensures the speaker is waterproof and dustproof (lo-fi music in the bathtub, anyone?), and it's got 16 hours of battery life for you to enjoy all the aforementioned audio perks in peace. Besides functionality, this Sony device deserves praise simply for its looks: It's got a multiway strap that makes it highly travel-friendly, it only weighs 8.9 ounces (a baby, indeed), and you can buy the speaker in an assortment of aesthetic colors (though only the basic black is currently on sale).
