You can always find some good Bluetooth speakers among the best Amazon Prime Day deals, and this year's Big Deals Day event has brought us a bunch of record-low prices on options from big names. I've picked out the options that I think offer the best value, based on our reviews of the products and experience with the brands.

If you’re going to buy a Bluetooth speaker on Prime Day, get the Sony SRS-XG300 that’s now on sale for $148 — that’s a whopping $202 off its MSRP and the best price we’ve ever seen for this particular model.

Right now, the May 2023-release Sony SRS-XB100 Bluetooth speaker can be yours for just $38 at Amazon (was $59.99) – that’s a huge 37% slashed from its list price and means it's gone right back down to the cheapest we've ever seen it!
