FULL STORY ======================================================================Summer is on its way, and the essential gadget you need to bring the vibes to any al fresco gathering is a good speaker. Something compact, portable, with good battery life and the ability to deliver some meaty sound when required. We've tested a whole load of Bluetooth speakers here at TechRadar, and many of our favorites from the likes of JBL, Sony and Tribit have been treated to a big discount to coincide with the sun finally coming out.

I've rounded up our top picks below. Any of these speakers would make a banging summer party companion: almost all come in well under 50, pack a
punch when it comes to sound quality, and are water- and dust-proof too (although do double-check your particular pick's weatherproofing credentials before you take it for a dip). Oh, and they're also pleasingly colorful, so you won't lose them in your garden. The JBL Clip 5 has the benefit of a built-in carabiner that lets you dangle it above the party for more immersive sound for everyone, while the Tribit StormBox Micro 2 is the winner when it comes to sound quality. If budget is your main consideration, the JBL Go 4 is hard to beat with its current discounts. Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 The Tribit StormBox Micro 2 earned a perfect five stars in our review, with Audio editor Becky Scarrott crowning it "the best-sounding and most fully-featured mini Bluetooth speaker we've had the pleasure of testing". It's one of the
priciest speakers featured here, but if you value great sound quality, it's worth splashing that extra cash. 21% OFF Tribit StormBox Micro 2 49.99 62.99 shop now 21% OFF Tribit StormBox Micro 2 49.99 62.99 shop now 20% OFF Tribit StormBox Micro 2 47.99 59.99 shop now JBL Go 4 The JBL Go 4 holds the #2 spot in our best Bluetooth speaker ranking, and is the winner when it comes to outright bang for your buck, delivering decent audio in a convenient,
