Today's best Bluetooth speaker deal
Anker Soundcore Flare £69.99 £49.49 at Amazon
This brilliant deal from Amazon sees £20 slashed off the price of this fantastic portable speaker, which comes dressed in a fancy Christmas box. It's waterproof, loud for its size, and it comes with its own LED light show, making it the perfect gift for a party animal.
What's good about the Soundcore Flare?
A year after we first reviewed it, the Anker SoundCore Flare remains on our lists of the best Bluetooth speakers and the best waterproof speakers, thanks to its impressive sound and excellent mobile app.
Despite its small size, the Flare can get pretty loud, and its bass frequencies are admirable – although you may find treble frequencies sound somewhat harsh at higher volumes.
Its party-friendly design is what sets it apart from competitors like the Ultimate Ears Boom 3; with an LED light ring that pulses with your music, you get a personal light show alongside your favorite tunes.
With Black Friday and Cyber Monday looming on the horizon, it's entirely possible that the price of the Anker Soundcore Flare could drop even further – however, as a special edition, the festive gift set version could sell out fairly quickly.
