We've tested hundreds of speakers over the years, and we put the best ones into our buying guides -- namely the ones for soundbars, portable Bluetooth speakers and smart speakers. Now that Cyber Monday has arrived, we're seeing notable discounts on many of our top picks. So if you need a soundbar to make the dialogue on your TV clearer or want to take your music out on the porch once the weather warms back up, this is a good time to grab a new music maker. And if you need a speaker to do your bidding (like turning on your smart lights or reminding you to take out the trash) you can save on a smart speaker, too. Here are the best Cyber Monday speaker deals we could find. Portable Bluetooth speakers make it easy for you to bring the music where plugs don't reach -- a picnic, the front stoop, an aimless wander along the Pacific Crest Trail.
