Black Friday deals on speakers, checked against their usual price

Black Friday is Friday, November 27, 2026. Amazon has not announced its own sale dates. Checked November 2, 2026, at Amazon: of the 330 we have watched long enough to judge, 48 are below their usual price today. The rest cost what they usually do or more, whatever badge they carry. Black Friday against Prime Big Deal Days, product by product.

Most bought: Anker soundcore 2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker $44.99, Bluetooth Speaker, 20W HD Sound $19.99 and JBL Go 5 Portable Bluetooth Speaker $54.95. Cheapest today: Portable Bluetooth Speaker 5.4 $12.99.

Soundbars and portable speakers are bought for different reasons, and priced accordingly. A soundbar is judged by what it connects to: HDMI eARC is what carries full-resolution Dolby Atmos from the TV, and only a 3.0 or wider bar has a centre channel of its own for dialogue. A portable speaker is bought by colour, and Amazon often prices the colours of one model differently — where it sells them as one model, the product page lists every colour’s current price beside the one you clicked.

How much does a speaker cost?

“A speaker” covers a pocket Bluetooth speaker and a home-cinema soundbar, and the price follows which one you mean. The type and brand tables on this page separate them better than one average can: today’s Amazon prices for every new speaker we track.

Three kinds of speaker share this shelf

Portable Bluetooth speakers, smart speakers and soundbars are counted together here, and they sit at different levels. Portable speakers run on a battery and fill the lower half of the shelf; smart speakers answer to Alexa or Google Assistant; soundbars sit under a TV and reach the top of it.

The brand tells you the kind

Each maker leans to one kind, so the brand table doubles as a guide to the three. JBL and Marshall list mostly portable speakers; Sonos and Samsung mostly soundbars and home speakers; Bose and Sony sell both, which is why their spread is wide.

Speakers by type

A 18% band is real but not dramatic. Worth checking the history before buying; not worth holding out for months.
