For one of the most portable Bluetooth speaker deals around, take a look at the Marshall Willen on sale at Best Buy. Usually $120, it’s currently enjoying a $40 discount down to an even more affordable $80. It’s super portable and perfect for a dorm room or for taking on trips. Here’s what we have to say about it before you commit to a purchase.

Why you should buy the Marshall Willen

Marshall makes some of the best Bluetooth speakers out there, and it has a truly iconic style which will be familiar to anyone used to its amps. With the Marshall Willen you get a 2-inch full range driver along with two passive radiators in a super portable design. It has a strap on one side so you can hang it off something or easily carry it around with you.

It also has a IP67 dust and water resistance rating, which means it won’t quite compete with the best waterproof Bluetooth speakers, but it’s still built to survive a rugged lifestyle.

With over 15 hours of battery life, the Marshall Willen keeps going throughout the day. Three hours of charging gets it up to full, but just 20 minutes will give you back a very respectable three hours of playback. Other useful features include a stack mode so you can combine multiple speakers, a built-in microphone for taking calls, and a choice of equalizer presets via the Marshall app.

Due to its size, the Marshall Willen isn’t up to the power of the very best wireless speakers, but it is perfect for when you need to be on the move often. You can easily take it out and about with you; it looks just as good at a poolside as it does while camping or just studying. Its rugged design is built to last. It’s PVC-free and 60% of the plastic is post-consumer recycled from used electronics, so you can feel good about your more sustainable purchase.

The Marshall Willen normally costs $120. Right now you can buy it from Best Buy for $80 so you save $40 off the regular price. This deal is unlikely to stay so cheap for very long, so if it appeals to you, buy it now before you miss out.

Get a portable HD projector for only $300 from Amazon’s Cyber Week sale

The Xgimi MoGo 2 portable projector placed outdoors.

If you're thinking about getting a projector instead of taking advantage of Cyber Week TV deals, but you don't want to handle a big and bulky device, the good news is that there are portable models like the Xgimi MoGo 2. It's on sale from Amazon with a 25% discount, which brings its price down to a more affordable $300 from its original price of $400. You'll have to act fast if you're interested in this offer though, as there's no telling how much time is remaining before you miss out on the savings of $100.

Why you should buy the Xgimi MoGo 2 portable projector
Xgimi has several entries in our list of the best projectors, including the Xgimi MoGo 2 Pro as the best portable 1080p projector. The Xgimi MoGo 2 is its more affordable version, and while it's not as powerful as the Xgimi MoGo 2 Pro with 1920 x 1080 resolution, it's still a pretty worthwhile purchase, especially with Amazon's discount. The Xgimi MoGo 2 is capable of up to 1280 x 720 resolution, but at the same maximum brightness of 400 ISO Lumens as its cousin, and it also offers Intelligent Screen Alignment and Intelligent Obstacle Avoidance, which makes setting up the projector much easier.

Ending soon: My favorite JBL speaker has finally gone on sale for Cyber Week

JBL's long-praised lineage may be rooted in its classic loudspeakers, but the California-based audio masters have made nearly equal a name for itself with its portables that are among some of the best Bluetooth speakers money can buy.

In fact, when JBL's premium mid-sized speaker, the Xtreme 4, launched in June of this year, it easily elbowed its way to the top of our best-of list after I gave it a 4.5/5 rating in my review. Which is why I was excited to see the Xtreme 4 go on sale for the first time for Cyber Week. And while its $80 discount only drops the price to $300, if you've had your eye on this powerful mini boombox for a while like I have, now's the time to strike. With Black Friday and Cyber Monday over, we're not sure how much longer that price is going to be available for Cyber Week.
