Walmart+ Week kicked off June 17, but so far, the deals aren’t dealing. We’ve had our eyes glued to Walmart.com waiting for the members-only sales event to wow us, and yet, we’ve been left scratching our heads.
Typically a Prime Day rival, Walmart+ Week showcases deals on all sorts of products, including TVs, robot vacuums, headphones, and speakers. But the speaker deals, in particular, on day one of the sale are lacking.
If you’re looking for a way to bump your favorite summer jams by the pool, at the campground, at a backyard barbecue, or practically anywhere else, Walmart+ Week (as it stands) is probably not your best bet. In fact, we’re currently seeing better deals at Amazon.
What is Walmart+ Week?
Just like Prime Day, Walmart+ Week is a members-only shopping event held annually. You’ll need a Walmart+ membership in order to access the deals, which costs either $12.95 per month or $98 per year. If you’re brand new to Walmart+, you can sign up for a free trial for 30 days and unlock access to some of the deals during the savings event.
Typically, the sale runs alongside Prime Day as a direct competitor. This year, Walmart is shaking things up. While Prime Day won’t happen until July, Walmart+ Week is running from June 17 through June 23.

The best non-Walmart+ Week speaker deals
While we haven’t seen any speaker deals exclusive to the Walmart+ Week sale, there are a few deals you can shop at Walmart, Amazon, and Best Buy that aren’t tied to any official savings event. The good news is more deals are supposed to drop daily and we’ll be keeping our eyes peeled. In the meantime, here are the best speaker deals we think you should check out.

Why we like it
Reminiscent of the boombox of yesteryear (but with souped-up features), the JBL Boombox 3 is the life of any party. While it weighs just under 15 pounds, it’s equipped with a top handle to make it easy to tote around wherever you go. Bring it to the beach, the pool, the park, or the campground and enjoy 24 hours of your favorite tunes — even in the rain. Rated IP67 dustproof and waterproof, this thing is nearly indestructible when it comes to the elements. It regularly goes for $499.95, but if you pick it up at Amazon, you’ll only pay $349.95. While Walmart has the speaker listed at the same price, it’s from a sketchy third-party seller. We recommend grabbing it at Amazon instead.
