Libratone’s colorful and versatile Zipp speakers are on sale at the lowest prices ever (thanks to an exclusive Cheapskate discount code).
Libratone
How do you fix your speakers these days? Let me rephrase: how do you fix portable battery-powered Wi-Fi speakers that offer 360 degree sound, support for AirPlay and, in some cases, Alexa onboard?
For a limited time, and while supplies last, MorningSave has four models of Libratone Zipp speakers for $ 49 to $ 99and coupon code CHEAPSKATE 15 you get an extra 15% discount on each one. Meet me in the next paragraph to talk about shipping.
The MorningSave shipping setup works like this: you can pay a one-time $ 8 charge (for everything, including anything you can return and order within one hour of your purchase), or you can pay $ 5 a month for free shipping on all orders. But if you choose the latter option, you can cancel at any time, effectively leaving with $ 5 shipping on it is order.
I know, it’s a little bit confusing; I kind of wish MorningSave would only take shipping costs into account in the price, as almost all other stores do. On the other hand, $ 5 is very cheap, especially if you end up buying multiple speakers.
Speaking of which, let’s talk about it. As noted, there are four; you will choose the model (s) and color (s) as soon as you arrive at the checkout:
- Libratone Zipp Mini: $ 41.64 with code
- Libratone Zipp: $ 67.15 with code
- Libratone Zipp Mini 2: $ 67.15 with code
- Libratone Zipp 2: $ 84.15 with code
All four models are portable (with variable battery life) and offer Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity. All of them support AirPlay 2 and can be configured for listening in multiple rooms. You can link up to six of the original Zipps or up to 10 of the Zipp 2 models.
The latter also adds Alexa to the mix, although, of course, if you’re using it on the go, your phone must be present for voice commands to work. (Alexa requires Internet connectivity.)
CNET has not analyzed any of these speakers, so I will drive you to Amazon for some user reviews of Zipp 2 – which is currently selling for $ 199 (and originally cost $ 300).
Last thing: this discount code will work for all Libratone products currently on sale at MorningSave, including the Dual Libratone ONE Click Bluetooth Speaker Pack for $ 99. (A single currently costs $ 130 on Amazon.)

Get a free Amazon Echo Dot when you sign up for 3 months on SiriusXM for $ 15

Not sure if you want satellite radio? This is a terribly inexpensive way to test it: for a limited time, new customers can get three months of SiriusXM Premier for just $ 15 – and a free Echo Dot to follow.
What does a point have to do with a service you hear in your car? In fact, SiriusXM also supports streaming, which means that you can listen on your phone or tablet via the app and at home through – you guessed it – smart speakers like Dot.
The latter is the third generation model (so, hockey puck, not orb), definitely a small advantage if you don’t already have a full house.
The important caveat here: after three months, you will begin to be charged at the standard rate ($ 13 per month), unless you cancel.
