Why we love this deal

Music is a key piece of a party or outdoor event. It can make or break your get-together if your music isn't loud enough or if your speaker battery dies early. When you invest in a Bluetooth speaker, you want to be sure it'll provide high-quality sound and can last all day. We've found a great deal on a speaker that will do just that and more, at a low price.

During the Walmart Deals event, you can get the $119 Ion Audio Game Day Primetime Portable Speaker for just $49. It's lightweight enough to take it on the go, and has a high-powered 60-Watt sound system, so it's loud enough to hear in a large area. And it's water-resistant, so you can safely take it outdoors to the beach, pool, or lake.

Why do shoppers love it?

Shoppers love that this speaker provides a great balance of portability and sound quality. It's only eight pounds and has a handle that makes it easy to transport, but it still gets loud enough to use at events or in large spaces. One reviewer even noted that they can use it outside at their large 7-acre property and still hear the music everywhere. "I've taken this little guy to the beach – it's big enough to really project a nice sound but small and lightweight enough to pack or carry," explained another reviewer. You can even connect two speakers for a surround sound experience.

Set the vibe using the multi-colored LED lights that pulse to the beat of your music. And if you hit the Boom button, it will increase the bass, volume, and lights instantly. One shopper commented on the added value of the lights on the speaker, saying, "The colorful lights are a bonus and a lot of fun in the dark (but surprisingly still pretty visible in daylight)."
