In case you haven't heard, it's Amazon sale time again: the retail giant's Amazon Big Spring Sale kicks off officially next week (March 25 - March 31), although this side of the pond, we've seen Amazon going early on its own Big Spring Sale extravaganza.

And for me, top of the pile is this all-new lowest-price Ultimate Ears Miniroll 43% deal – it was ~~£69.99~~, now £39.99 at Amazon, and good for black, white and pink colourways.

To save you doing the maths, that's a huge 43% off (we know, our header to our main deals pages only lists savings of up to 40%, but this is even better!) and although this classy little crumpet-type speaker has been reduced beforehand, the current all-time low saving is £10 cheaper than it's ever been, so you know you're getting a great deal.

Today's best Ultimate Ears Miniroll deal

Not had the pleasure of this little bun-shaped beauty? Don't worry – it only arrived in September 2024. Have a quick glance at our glowing Ultimate Ears Miniroll review for the full scoop but in a nutshell, it's one of the cutest portable speakers around and although it has dropped to a penny under £50 before (late last year) it's never been discounted by this much 'til now. Our advice? For a tenner less than it's ever been (or a whopping 43% off the RRP) it's one of the best deals going, and it'll set you up for an Easter break.

I know, the word Miniroll makes me hungry for a Cadbury's treat too (as do the images in our full Ultimate Ears Miniroll review) but look past that and there's really so much to enjoy here for the money.

First off, that bass: for a speaker the size of a crumpet, it brings it. There's a limit to the scale and volume of its audio output obviously (it's great for a picnic, tent, or the beach; less suitable for a 200-seat wedding venue) but what it can do, it does very well indeed.

You get a useful strap to carry it around, but even if you were to drop it in a puddle, its IP67 rating means it'll survive a good deal of dust, dirt, or sand and it is certified waterproof to a depth of one meter for 30 minutes. So even at the wettest of UK festivals or the longest of rainy Easter Sunday hikes, it'll be OK.

There's no companion app support, so no EQ options and extra whistles and bells, but if that doesn't worry you (and for the money, it really shouldn't) it's a great option. Also, you can pair two sources at the same time if you're sharing playlist duties, or daisy-chain as many Minirolls as you'd like to really amp up the audio – and at this price, it's certainly worth buying more than one.

Not the deal for you? That's fine: Amazon UK kicked off its massive Spring sale early - here are the 23 best deals I'd buy.

Happy shopping!
