Once the weather gets warm enough, my family and I start spending as much time in the backyard as possible. At our house, spring and summer are the seasons of barbecues, pizza oven days, and poolside relaxation. But the party doesn't officially start until the music is playing. That's when I reach for my JBL GO2, which is on sale for Amazon Prime Day.
From $27.98 at Amazon (Save $11.97)
This handheld portable speaker is the perfect companion to outdoor (and indoor!) celebrations. First of all, it's waterproof, which means you can control it from the pool or beach with no worries. (How waterproof is it, you might ask? My personal JBL GO2 may or may not have fully fallen in the pool once or twice … and it's still alive today.)
This speaker also boasts impressive sound quality and five full hours of playtime after a full charge, which makes it great for a beach day in the sun. Plus, it can be connected via Bluetooth or wire cable so that anyone at the party can play DJ.

Passing the speaker to friends is easy, thanks to the extremely intuitive control panel. There are just five buttons that are easy to distinguish: power, Bluetooth connect, volume up, volume down, and play. It won't take much explaining to get everyone at the party involved in the soundtrack.
