I tested this sub-$40 Bluetooth speaker that can do it all — it blasts my favorite tunes, clips on my bag, and even takes showers
After using the speaker for three weeks I can say with certainty that everybody needs a speaker in their shower, and the Tozo PE1 is the best one for it. It is super compact and easily portable, making it the perfect companion for any situation.
The Tozo PE1 has quickly become by go-to speaker for quite literally any eventuality. It may be ultra-budget, but that is no comment on how well it performs. It is fully waterproof and comes with a built in carabiner, making it easy to take with you anywhere. You can use the speaker with the Tozo Signature Sound app to get an EQ to best suit the kind of music you want to listen to.
The Tozo PE1 Bluetooth speaker is completely waterproof. With a water resistance rating of IPX8, so it can be fully submerged in water and still come out good as new.
This meant that I could take it with me into the shower and not worry about all of the water splashing over it. It also meant I could listen to music with the great acoustics of my bathroom to amplify everything even further.
But being waterproof also means I can take it on adventures, and clip it to the outside of my bag, without stressing that the wind and rain is going to take a toll on it.
At the top of the speaker is a loop which is a built-in carabiner. This is metal covered with silicone so it is super sturdy, but does take a bit of force to move. I actually found that the sound was better when using the carabiner, rather than the speaker being set on a flat surface.
I actually don't think the Tozo PE1 speaker could be smaller, even if it tried. It measures just 5.7 x 4.2 x 1.8 inches, and fits into the palm of my hand.

It is potentially the most convenient speaker I have ever used because while it is small, the sound it makes is anything but. At full volume, the battery drains a little quicker but it is so loud that I could hear it playing through the walls.
In short: This is a great little speaker for taking on the road, to the beach, or poolside. You can find out more about how my testing went by reading my full Tozo PE1 review.

Why Is Price Comparison So Important for Bangladeshi Shoppers?
Many shoppers in Bangladesh don't realize just how much prices can vary for the same item across different online stores. A Bluetooth speaker priced at BDT 3,000 on one platform may be listed for BDT 2,500 on another—with no difference in features or authenticity. Over time, these differences add up, costing you thousands of unnecessary Taka. This is where platforms like Best Prices BD become incredibly valuable. When you skip price comparison, you risk overpaying or missing out on deals and discounts. Many shoppers think they're saving time by heading to the first vendor they find, but in reality, they often end up paying more. In today's world, where prices fluctuate frequently based on demand, vendor strategy, and product availability, relying on a single source is simply not wise. Best Prices BD helps you dodge that trap by offering a side-by-side look at prices from leading vendors in Bangladesh. What sets Best Prices BD apart is that it doesn't rely on guesswork. It uses actual data from trusted Bangladeshi online retailers and keeps it up to date. Whether you're buying tech gadgets, kitchen tools, or personal care products, the platform constantly monitors price shifts and updates its listings accordingly. This ensures that you're not just comparing—but comparing accurately . When you know you're paying the lowest or most reasonable price for a product, you feel confident. That peace of mind is priceless. You don't wonder if you could have gotten a better deal somewhere else. You don't regret your purchase the next day. You feel empowered—and that confidence turns into loyalty toward platforms like Best Prices BD. Suppose you're a university student buying a mid-range laptop for studies. It's a major investment for your family. Without a comparison tool, you might settle for BDT 65,000. But with Best Prices BD, you find another trusted vendor selling the exact model for BDT 59,000. That's a BDT 6,000 saving—enough to buy a printer or pay for your internet bill for a few months. Using Best Prices BD also trains you to shop smart. You start recognizing patterns, such as which stores offer better deals on electronics versus home goods. You learn when to buy and when to wait for price drops. Over time, you become a more informed shopper, which benefits you financially in the long run. And since the platform is updated regularly, every visit feels fresh and timely. More info is always just a click away. In a market as dynamic and diverse as Bangladesh's, being an informed buyer is not a luxury—it's a necessity. And the best way to stay informed is to rely on platforms that are built to empower you, not sell to you. That's exactly what Best Prices BD does. So next time you're about to hit 'Add to Cart,' pause and head to Best Prices BD. Your wallet will thank you. TIME BUSINESS NEWS

Huge audio sale at Best Buy — 5 deals I'd get from $124
The Best Buy Back to School sale continues this week offering deals on all things college related. This week's sale has a particularly large number of deals on headphones and Bluetooth speakers. For example, right now you can get the JBL Xtreme 4 Portable Speaker for just $249 at Best Buy. That's $130 off and the lowest price I've seen for this Editor's Choice speaker. Below I've rounded up five of the best audio deals you can get right now at Best Buy. For more savings, see our Best Buy coupon codes and our guide to the best back to school laptop sales. Yes, there's a newer model of these headphones, but we called the original OpenRun Pro the ultimate bone conduction headphones for athletes thanks to their competitive sound, barely-there feel, and amazing 10 hours of battery life. They earned a near-perfect score in our Shokz OpenRun Pro review. The Beats Pill is a redesigned version of the company's first (and most popular) Bluetooth speaker, now with improved sound, 24-hour battery life, USB-C charging, access to Apple's Find My network and compatibility with Android and iPhone. Plus, it's IP67-rated for water resistance, so you won't get caught short in the rain. The JBL SoundGear Sense Hybrid are a great set of earbuds for those who want to enjoy their workout music and monitor their environment at the same time. They feature JBL's OpenSound Technology with air conduction, which doesn't completely close off your ear canal. Their flexible hooks can latch onto your ears and be adjusted at different angles to form a secure fit. The Beats Solo 4 might not feature noise canceling, but they make up for it by sounding pretty good. They're comfortable as well thanks to Beats new foam, and they fold up super small so that they can fit into any bag. There's also loads of battery life — 50 hours, to be exact. The Xtreme 4 is the GOAT of portable speakers. In our JBL Xtreme 4 review, we said the Editor's Choice speaker offers excellent bass, party mode, and a terrific design. Its IP67 rating also helps protect it against water or dust. At 4.6 pounds it's not something you'll want to carry all day, but its performance is unrivaled.

If you missed out on taking advantage of that, then you're in luck because now you can get it at a lower price. For a limited time, Visible is offering its unlimited cell phone plan at an all-time low cost of $19/month to new customers. That's a savings of 24% off from the usual $25/month rate that the wireless carrier offers year round. In order to get it down to $19/month, you need to apply the code "6OFF12" at checkout. Don't hold off on getting this offer because it'll expire by August 20. Visible: was $25/month now $19/month @ VisibleStop overpaying for your wireless cell phone service because Visible has its unlimited cell phone plan down to its all-time lowest cost at $19/month. On top of unlimited data, talk, and text, you also get unlimited mobile hotspot and international service to Canada and Mexico. If you need the fastest speeds, you can get more of it by upgrading to Visible+ and Visible+ Pro. Use code 6OFF12 at checkout to get this deal. I've been on the base Visible plan for a long while now and I have to say it's been reliable. The $19/month plan does have perks beyond unlimited data, talk, and text. You also get unlimited mobile hotpot to share your data connection with other devices, along with unlimited talk and text to Mexico and Canada. Although it's all-you-can-eat data, just know that speeds could be temporarily slowed down.

Visible+ does provide you with premium data that doesn't get throttled and also includes smartwatch services, while Visible+ Pro offers faster mobile hotspot speeds, broader international calling, up to 4K video streaming quality, and more.

In fact, I haven't experienced any outages in my two years of being with the carrier — unlike T-Mobile and Verizon.
