Black Friday deals are in full swing (even if the event proper is still days away) and nothing says Black Friday like scoring 80% off a premium Bluetooth speaker. That's exactly what you can get right now with the Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 8 dropping to just $100 at the brand's site. That's a humungous $400 discount, with the final sale price being reflected in-cart for either the black or blue models. The deal expires Dec. 6 or when it sells out.

As well as looking truly unique, this speaker is a beast with 50 watts of output, a dynamic frequency response range of 50Hz to 20kHz, and the ability to self-tune when moved from room to room, ensuring it's always calibrated to its environment. It has an eight-hour battery life, meaning it's ideal for toting around your home or out onto your deck without worrying about how to keep the tunes going. It even has a sleek aluminum handle to make carrying it around easier.

This is an older model, but you won't find it this cheap even used or refurbished elsewhere. It's rare to find a premium speaker like this with such a whopping discount, so we recommend not waiting too long, as this is easily one of the best speaker deals available at the moment. If you're planning to host a holiday party this year (or just blast some Christmas songs all on your lonesome, no judgment here), this is an ideal buy at $100.

Why this deal matters

The ability to get anything for 80% off is something that's worth at least a quick look, but when it's a speaker of this quality from a brand you've actually heard of, you really should pay attention. Harman Kardon and its Samsung-owned sibling brands AKG and JBL produce some of the best audio gear on the market, meaning this is a rare chance to massively upgrade your home audio for very little.
