There are tons of different brands offering Bluetooth speakers at a range of prices. But it's hard to look beyond the Sony ULT Field 1 at this new price. Usually listed a smidge below $130, this speaker has plenty of features to justify that admittedly eye-watering price. But right now, Amazon is offering this colorful and capable speaker for just $88, the lowest price that we've ever seen it.
The speaker comes in your choice of four colors, the most striking of which is the orange. A more subdued black or off-white are also available, while those who really want their speaker to blend into the background can choose a gray. But really, you should choose the orange.

No matter which color you choose, the speaker itself will be waterproof, dustproof, rustproof and even shockproof, which makes it perfect for taking on trips. The music won't stop for 12 hours, at which point you can charge the speaker and go again. Sony says that the sound diffusion processor fills any space, but you can also add another speaker to get a real stereo experience as well. Hands-free calls are also supported via the built-in microphone, too.
