Amazon is now offering the Ultimate Ears EPICBOOM portable Bluetooth speaker for $299.99 shipped. This is $50 off the usual $350 price tag for the very first time and marking a new all-time low. This speaker just hit the scene earlier this fall and is finally seeing a discount ahead of the holidays just in time to wrap up some portable listening that can tag along just about anywhere. We breakdown the whole experience over in our launch coverage, while also giving you a rundown below the fold.
The big selling point on the EPICBOOM is Ultimate Ears’ new adaptive EQ tech. The portable speaker can automatically tune its 4.6-inch woofer and dual high-frequency 45mm transducers to your surroundings. It then still has most of the other staples that the company is known for. There’s a familiar fabric-wrapped design that means the EPICBOOM is waterproof, with an IP67 rating that also comes backed by a floating design. It has NFC pairing to Android smartphones, and a Magic Button that can be customized for one-touch access to your favorite music.
If you’re hoping to make your next portable speaker one with a little more intelligence baked in, JBL’s new Assistant-powered Authentics smart speakers are on sale for the first time, too. There’s two different designs that each rock the same retro build, and are $50 off. Pricing starts at the same $300 as the EPICBOOM above, giving you a different approach to rocking out if you’re looking for something that’s a bit more stylish, but ditches the go anywhere mentality of the latest from Ultimate Ears.
