This time of year, everyone needs a reliable party starter -- something you can toss in a bag and bring anywhere with you. And if you're looking for a speaker that can keep the vibes up during your Christmas game night or a New Year's Eve party, you might want to consider the JBL Xtreme 3.

For today only, you can snag the JBL Xtreme 3 for $192 at Best Buy -- that's $188 off the usual $380 price and just $2 above its all-time low. Walmart currently has it for slightly more at $210, making Best Buy the better deal right now. So if you’ve had your eye on this speaker, we suggest buying it while you can get this discount.

The Xtreme 3 packs four drivers and two bass radiators, delivering loud, clean sound without distortion. JBL’s PartyBoost feature lets you link multiple compatible speakers together for an even bigger soundstage.

Plus, it comes with up to 15 hours of battery life per charge, Bluetooth streaming for up to two devices simultaneously and a built-in power bank to charge your devices. With IP67 waterproofing and dust-resistance, it's built to handle accidental spills. The included carrying strap with a built‑in bottle opener is handy, too.

This price is about as close as you’ll get to the all‑time low, and JBL’s reputation for durable, great‑sounding speakers makes the Xtreme 3 a safe bet. You’re getting a reliable, party‑ready speaker without paying full price, but only if you act fast.
