Our Favorite Backyard Bluetooth Speaker Is $25 Off

Looking for a Bluetooth speaker that’ll turn your next backyard get-together into a proper party? Amazon has the Ultimate Ears Boom 4 marked down to $125 in all four colors: black, blue, lilac, and red. It’s the perfect pairing for grilling and chilling, with a design that’s built to last and features that will keep the party going.

What makes this the perfect speaker to break out the next time you have friends over? The Boom 4 is wrapped in 360 degrees of speakers, allowing this little cylinder of sound to cover your patio in sound in a way that other Bluetooth speakers could only dream of. It has huge wireless range, so the tunes won’t cut out when you have to pop inside for another drink, and IP67 dust and water resistance in case you didn’t check the weather this morning.

It’s also extremely sturdy, a trait that Ultimate Ears has become known for over the years. The idea of a fabric exterior might sound flimsy, but this tough lining and hefty construction mean the Boom 4 won’t flinch if it gets knocked over reaching for the chips and can even take a tumble off the table and keep right on rocking. While it may start to accumulate dings and dents over time, I can tell you from experience it will still fire right up and start playing. I have a pair of the more compact Ultimate Ears Wonderbooms (also currently marked down) that live in my backyard and are well used, to say the least. They’re happy to blast some Steely Dan even after hibernating all winter.

Of course, the Boom 4 has all the trappings you’d expect from a modern Bluetooth speaker. There are two giant, can’t-miss-’em volume buttons on one face, and a “Magic Button” up top that functions similarly to what you might find on earbuds, allowing you to control the music with just a series of taps. The Ultimate Ears app adds a full equalizer, multi-speaker pairing, an alarm clock, and even a megaphone mode so you can make announcements to your guests.

If you’re sold on this portable party machine, head over to Amazon to grab $25 off the Ultimate Ears Boom 4 in black, blue, lilac, or red, or check out our guide to the best Bluetooth speakers to see what else is on offer.
