Our winner—the JBL Flip 3—is splashproof, durable, well-built, and it sounded far better than almost every other model in our roundup. It was a great value at its list price of $99.99, but it's also an Amazon Gold Box deal today, dropping the price to just $63.99.
Take it from our TV and home audio expert, Lee Neikirk:
There's really no reason not to go with the JBL Flip 3. If you're looking for a portable Bluetooth speaker that wears many hats, it's got good audio quality and reliable functionality, allowing it to stand in as a stay-at-home speaker—but also boasts the portability, splash-proof features, and tough rubbery build to allow it to flourish on trips to the beach or at the campsite.
