This Sony speaker is almost as small as my self-esteem — and much cheaper too, thanks to Prime Day
The Sony SRS-XB100 is small. It's a tiny speaker designed to fit in tiny places — like your pocket, or that funny little slot in your rucksack that now finally has a use. The price is also pretty small, but it just got even smaller thanks to this Prime Day deal. The Sony SRS-XB100 is currently $33 at Amazon after a $26 discount. That's the lowest price we've ever seen on the speaker. Sad news though — the blue is already sold out. Sorry. I might be the reason. Sony's smallest speaker is a portable powerhouse. It's got plenty of sonic oomph where it counts, despite its small size. The colors are where it's really at though — just check out that fetching orange color. Blue is sadly out of stock, though. I love going to the beach (that's a lie). I love sand, and how much fun it is to build sandcastles (that's also a lie). I also really like this Sony SRS-XB100 and how portable it is — I can take it to all the beaches I want (that's not a lie). Despite being small enough to fit inside my skinny jeans pocket so that it can be carted around on different trips. It's waterproof and dust proof with an IP67 rating as well, so you don't need to worry about it getting damaged should you take it out and about somewhere rough and tumble. Like the beach (I won't be). You can't expect earth-shattering bass from something this size, but this little guy does a great job at shaking the table it sits on. I think it looks adorable as well, with it's fun stripe-texture making it more interesting than just a tiny sound-tube. This deal makes the speaker more affordable than ever, thanks to a pretty big discount for something so small. I'm tempted to grab a couple for the next time I go to the beach sit around inside, and listen to my tunes as the blazing heat melts my brain. There are plenty more deals to be had this Prime Day — make sure you check out our Prime Day live blog to make sure you're staying on top of all the latest sales and offers.

Bose's Soundlink Plus Is the Midsize Banger You Didn't Know You Needed
With so many Bluetooth speakers out there, and more arriving almost daily, it can be easy to underestimate one that dwells in the middle ground. Sandwiched between the packable Soundlink Flex and the beefy Soundlink Max (9/10, WIRED Recommends), Bose's new midsize Soundlink Plus (no, these aren't streaming services) carves out its own niche thanks largely to winning sound with equal parts nuance and bravado. Like its siblings, the Plus looks and feels like a premium speaker with an accordingly premium price; it's dressed to the nines, especially fetching in the Citrus Yellow color I reviewed, but bears commensurate dust- and waterproofing for good defense against the elements. Medium build notwithstanding, this is still a hefty package, but if you're after a good compromise between boombox might and breezy portability, the Soundlink Plus abides. Premium Protection Photograph: Ryan Waniata There's style in the Sound Plus's minimalism, with a sleek yet strong powder-coated steel grille, supple touch keys along its rubberized topside, and a hearty checkered nylon handle at the side that makes it easier to haul (or hang). At the back are vents for its four bass radiators and an open USB-C port. A point of note there: the Plus is fine to dunk given its IP67 rating, and it even floats, but you'll need to wait for the port to dry before charging. That's further notable given that, like the Max, the Plus takes a sluggish five hours to charge its 20-hour battery from zero. That said, it didn't take long for the orange-and-white flashing LED to return to solid white following a bath in my laundry sink, signaling a clear and ready port. Measuring 9.1 x 3.94 x 3.4 inches (WxHxD) and weighing over 3 pounds, this is not the most packable speaker, but it's still game for the open road. It took me a while to get used to its heft, but it fared well on its first task after unboxing, a camping trip in the Columbia River Gorge. If it seems risky taking a shiny new lemon-meringue speaker into the dusty woods, you're not wrong, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well the speaker cleans up. You'll inevitably attract some marks, though, and the Dusk Blue and Black should age better. Whatever the color, I dig the Plus' aesthetic, and so did most people I showed it to (though they mostly remarked on the great sound). It feels nice to the touch, and both the look and build quality seem a step above flack-jacketed rivals like the JBL Charge 6 and UE MegaBoom 4. I'd still prefer either of those speakers for a hard fall—not because the Bose wouldn't survive, it's just more likely to get nicks or dents. The Charge 6's IP68 rating theoretically gives it bragging rights for water resistance, but all three are dunkable, like most speakers we test. Solid Extras Photograph: Ryan Waniata Soundlink Plus features seem a little austere at first glance, but there's enough here to keep away feature envy. The unified Bose app's compact interface will be familiar to anyone with Bose headphones, with options like the ability to connect to two devices over Bluetooth multipoint, a three-band EQ and presets, and monitoring for battery and volume.
