If you're waiting until Friday, Nov. 29, to start your Black Friday shopping, you're cutting yourself short (and likely stressing yourself out). There are many early Black Friday sales and deals on tech products already at record-low prices from retailers like Amazon, Walmart, Target, and Home Depot.

If you haven't splurged on that one big ticket item yet and are still looking for something worth your hard-earned money, let me tell you why the JBL PartyBox Stage 320 might be it. To start, it's down to the lowest price it has been since Prime Day, according to price-checking tools. You can get it for $399.95 (originally $599.95). And also, it's incredibly fun. If you don't believe me, check out my review.

JBL has been working on the PartyBox Stage speaker for years and it has reached a point where it sets the standard for what a party speaker should be. I haven't seen another speaker that can reach 100 decibels of sound around its price point (much less with its current discount). It has a replaceable battery that lasts up to 18 hours at 50% volume, you can play it with just the power cord (without the battery), is rated IPX4 (splashproof), and you can connect up to two microphones or one microphone and one instrument, but the app is what takes it to another level.

The JBL app lets you control the music and the microphone's EQ, customize what the buttons on the panel of the speaker do, and control the lights and media. But one of the most unique features I've seen is the "Effect Lab," which essentially lets you mess with your music with some basic DJ functions in real time. I've spent too many hours messing around with my favorite songs and letting friends live their DJ fantasies at my house parties.

If you're looking for a speaker for karaoke (with virtually no mic feedback), poolside lounging, or tailgate parties, consider the PartyBox Stage 320 as your Prime Day splurge.
