I believe this is the lowest price ever offered from JBL on the PB100, which is a really great speaker in this market.

Been looking to buy one and almost jumped on it when it was $250. This is awesome for $200.
I've listened to a few Bluetooth speakers, and unless you're just looking for something that very portable (not saying this isn't, it's just bigger than most), I think it's very hard to beat this for this price.
It also sounds fantastic for karaoke if you're Asian and into that kind of thing
My brother also has a Bose S1 Pro and it sounds pretty similar. I would say audio wise, the Bose sounds cleaner, but definitely not $400 better. I actually prefer the JBL for karaoke.
Just an all around great buy for $200!
What about non Asian people that are into that kind of thing???

The one in the link is renewed, but I think WM has them for 200.
Edit. Yep. $200 at WM.

The difference is one of them is a true $199 speaker, and the other is a once $300-ish speaker being offered for $199.
JBL PartyBox 100 is the king in this category.

I purchased the ion pathfinder 4 for 89.99 and later purchased another to pair. Basically 2 linked together sound amazing and you get water proof speakers. Each speaker also 120 watts. The jbl is great knowing it's only one speaker. While the ion will have the Costco warranty which will always win in my case.

I have the 100 and trust me it's the one you want. Tremendous sound for it's size and true wireless portability.

It doesn't seem to be portable... No battery

How would one use this for Karaoke...?
Obviously you're not a golfer

Here is a video comparing both speakers. Hear it for yourself with headphone on. The ankers lack of treble and sound muddy compared to Jbl.

Tell me what's you JBL speaker bought comparing to your Anker's speakers ?
I have two of these and this speaker has been available at $199 several times this year.
It's great for outdoor movies. I use a fire TV stick hooked up to my projector, linked to one speaker over bluetooth (the fire seems to think it's a bluetooth headphone, but whatever). Turn the speakers on, hold down the bluetooth buttons on both simultaneously for five seconds and the speakers link and connect to the fire TV. I do have to use a test audio clip to figure out which is right and which is left, though.
Sold me a pair because of the outdoor movie setup. Have the same and been using a sound bar which has been a PITA. Thanks!

Ok speaker, but I don't recommend it if you want it as a portable speaker. The ION used "Sealed Lead acid battery" which make it heavy and don't hold charge over time comparing to JBL 's Lithium Polymer batteries.I owned monster rocking roller 4 which similar with this ION with better sound. The monster speaker's lead acid battery died after one year of lightly used indoor. In addition, I did charge the lead acid battery full monthly to keep the battery last, but it didn't.Partybox 100 speaker is retail for $300+ for a reason. The Lithium Polymer batteries and build in light are costly to make. For $200 I think it is a great investment!
