Portable audio deals of the week: 5.2.14


Let's face it. We all like music. If you're like those of us parked at Engadget HQ, you listen to hours of the stuff on a daily basis. This week, we're looking to help boost those audio experiences with Bluetooth speakers and both over-ear and in-ear headphones. Discounted items are ready to suit those listening preferences, so jump down past the break to take a gander.


If there are other audio gadgets you're after that we haven't included here -- join us and add them to your "Want" list. Every time there's a price cut in the future, you'll get an email alert!


Logitech UE Boombox



Price: $145

Regular Price: $250

Engadget Global Score: 83

Buy: Amazon


This portable Bluetooth speaker from Logitech/UE provides solid performance with a substantial dose of bass, and avoids distortion when cranked up to 11. However, it does tip the scale at well over four pounds, so it'll weigh down the ol' backpack significantly. The current price is the lowest our price history tool has seen over the past 90 days.


Shure SE315



Price: $199

Regular Price: $250

Engadget Global Score: 82

Buy: Amazon


If you don't mind shelling out some extra dough for your in-ears, the Sure SE315s are seeing a modest discount at the moment. For the added price of admission, the pair touts detachable cables that make replacement a breeze, high-def MicroSpeakers and tuned BassPorts. There's also an in-line remote/mic -- if you're into that sort of thing.


Aiaiai Capital



Price: $74

Regular Price: $109

Engadget Global Score: 75

Buy: Amazon


Ballin' on a budget? No worries. Here's a $100 set of over-ear cans for more than $25 off. Reviewers note respectable sound quality of Aiaiai's Capital for the price and solid durability, but they've deducted points in the overall comfort column. Of course, the set folds up nicely to get tucked into a bag, so that's certainly a selling point.


Jawbone Mini Jambox



Price: $107

Regular Price: $180

Engadget Score: 81

Buy: Amazon


We wouldn't usually repeat a gadget in this here roundup so soon, but Jawbone's Mini Jambox has dropped another $20 in the span of a month. That's if you don't mind the silver or blue diamond color options. Not sure which Jawbone speaker is for you? Mosey on over to our compare tool for some quick and easy research.
