JBL’s Pulse 5 portable Bluetooth speaker with 360-degree lighting returns to $140 low (Reg. $250)

Amazon is offering the JBL Pulse 5 Portable Bluetooth Speaker for $139.99 shipped. Bringing costs down from its usual $250 MSRP, most of the discounts we’ve seen over the last two years have taken things down to $200, though we did see a fall to $150 during 2023 Black Friday sales while the first fall to the $140 low took place during 2024 Black Friday. Today is another chance to grab it at the lowest price we have tracked, saving you $110 in the process. It even beats out JBL’s direct website where it’s still sitting at its full MSRP.

The Pulse 5 speaker from JBL arrives with a less common design than many of its counterparts on the market, namely that it presents itself more like a smart lamp than a portable speaker. Its illuminated capsule sports a 360-degree sound system, keeping your favorite tunes playing for up to 12 hours on a single charge. The exterior of this speaker comes wrapped in an LED grid, adding stunning visual displays to your audio while also providing IPX7 waterproof protections, ensuring the party won’t be stopped by accidental splashes, spills, and the like. It comes with improved Bluetooth 5.3 support over previous models, allowing for it to connect to more than one device for shared DJ responsibilities.
