Top 16 Best Portable Bluetooth Speakers 2022

It's our top selection for the best Bluetooth speaker on the planet, with a loud sound, durable build and superb smart features. Audiophiles may not appreciate the overpowering frequency range and repetitive handling, but it's perfect for usage outside thanks to the Automatic Switching feature. In the footsteps of the Sonos Move, the Sonos Roam has both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing you to take it wherever with you and still be able to use it as part of a larger multi-room Sonos system. With its inexpensive pricing, you receive a lot of value here, regardless of how much you pay. Despite its stylish design, the Sonos Roam is built to withstand the elements and has a long battery life for listening to music on the go.

Despite the fact that you've probably never heard of Tribit, its Bluetooth speakers sound better than they should. The 7-inch-long pill-shaped speaker boasts dual-firing drivers and passive radiators. Although it cannot power a Trance dance party on its own, its sound quality is remarkable and it includes a fun extra bass button that adds some surprise, but muddy, thump to the music. While it's not dust-proof, it can be submerged in water for up to 30 minutes at a time, making it an ideal companion for backyard parties, river trips, and other casual get-together.

Whether you're lounging at home or throwing a wild party, the JBL Xtreme 3 is the perfect companion. Even though this speaker is IP67 dust and water-resistant, you would think it's more concerned with its bass output than its sound quality at first appearance. JBL Xtreme 3 proves to be an attentive and conscientious performer at all volume levels, from low to high. There's a lot of low-end clout to go around, but there's also a lot of quality as well. We gave the JBL Xtreme 3 five out of five stars for overall performance during our in-house testing, and it never seemed to be overwhelmed by the complexity of the musical arrangement.

JBL's new-for-2021 PartyBox 110 packs a major punch and offers far more sound than some of the other portable boombox speakers on this list, including JBL's own Boombox 2 portable speaker (see below). The PartyBox 110 weighs 23 pounds and is slightly more than 22 inches tall, and it has a built-in handle for carrying it about. Because it includes rubber feet on both sides of the speaker, you can either put it up vertically, as shown in the picture above, or horizontally, as seen in the picture below.

Designed to provide up to 12 hours of playback time at moderate volume levels, it also features an updated light display those syncs to the beat of your music. You can personalize the light show from the speaker itself or by downloading and installing the JBL PartyBox companion application.

The speaker may be connected through Bluetooth or a traditional USB connection, and it offers both guitar and microphone inputs. Notably, the speaker is splash-proof to IPX4 standards, and it is possible to wirelessly connect two PartyBox 110 speakers together to create a stereo sound experience.

The only thing smaller than the Go 3 may be its pricing, which may cause even the Anker Sound core 2 to get a little nervous when they see the Go 3's price tag of less than four inches wide. And, despite the low initial outlay, you will reap the benefits of waterproofing to IP67 standards. The device can withstand complete submersion in shallow water for up to half an hour, and it is also completely dust-proofed as part of the overall package. Even though the battery life appears to be bad at 5 hours, we were able to extend it out to over 10 hours in our testing if we didn't crank up the volume too much. As a result, if you need to fill a huge place with sound, there are better options available, but the Go 3 is a very nice personal portable speaker.

To my dismay, I completely missed Anker's Sound-core Motion Plus when it was released in 2019, despite the fact that it's one of the best-sounding and best-sounding wireless speakers under $100. Even though it's a bit bigger than other Bluetooth speakers, it's still very portable. It has more bass, greater loudness, and better clarity than many of the competitors in this price range. With the apt X streaming codec, which is supported by devices like Samsung's Galaxy phones, it is also totally waterproof. As a result of its enduring popularity, it has recently increased in price to $106, but it was previously marketed at around $100.

The UE Megaboom 3 is the greatest Bluetooth speaker on the market right now because to its great sound, long battery life, and sturdy design. With a maximum volume of 100 decibels and 360-degree sound, this massive portable speaker is capable of pumping out a wide range of highs and lows. In addition, it has an IP67-rated construction that can withstand drops, splashes, and even a fall into the pool. This speaker is on the large side when compared to other portable speakers; it doesn't include Alexa or Google Assistant support, or any other smart capabilities. For the price, the Megaboom 3's sound quality and robustness are unbeatable. For a stereo sound experience, you can also connect it to earlier Megaboom and Boom versions.

Full-bodied, dynamic sound that adjusts to any environment. You can listen to lossless HD audio on some streaming services, such as Amazon Music High Definition (HD).

It is a tiny Bluetooth speaker that's attractive, robust, and offers excellent sound quality. This tiny pocket rocket is a wonder of engineering, producing a far louder sound than you'd think from its diminutive size. Waterproofing to IPX7 and a 20-hour battery life leave very little to be desired. In addition, there is a convenient control knob, a battery indicator, and a USB-C port on board. This is now the greatest high-end portable Bluetooth speaker available at a lower price than many of its competitors. 3.5mm jack input and stereo pairing are the only real drawbacks, however they are quite standard.

The fact that they fit flat in a bike basket, as well as the fact that they are under $100, have made these Sony speakers a favorite for people who commute to socially isolated meetings. Battery life is up to 16 hours, and they have an IP67 rating for dust and water protection. You can even connect several speakers to create stereo sound by connecting them together. It helps that they are available in a range of eye-catching colors—favorites include bright blue and pink—so you'll never get lost in the sea of people.

It's hard to find fault with the Sony SRS-XB23, an entry-level portable Bluetooth speaker that costs $99 $150. It has an IP67 rating and a 12-hour battery life.

In terms of performance, it is capable of reaching high volumes without experiencing significant distortion, and the passive radiators assist the bass to sound more clean than on any of Sony's prior models. This is due to the fact that the XB23 uses Bluetooth 5 and supports three key codecs - SBC, AAC, and LDAC, the latter of which is found on newer Android devices and sounds fantastic. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the durability of this Sony Bluetooth speaker, while those of us who prefer to sit back and relax will appreciate how snuggle it fits into the cup holder of a lawn chair.

Bang & Olufsen isn't known for being one to follow the crowd. In the catalogue of the Danish electronics specialist, you'll find a wireless speaker in the shape of a wheel, a TV that opens up like a butterfly, and an 8200-watt monolithic speaker with 18 drivers. The output of the B&O Beosound A1 (2nd Gen) wireless speaker may be legitimately described as "premium" and "innovation," and this is true of all of their products. It has dimensions that are similar to those of a huge floury bap, but that is where any similarities with baked foods end. A1 supports Qualcomm's most recent apt X adaptive Bluetooth 5.1 codec, and of course, Alexa is pre-installed on the handset. It also works exceptionally well, producing a pleasingly comfortable yet commanding performance that you'd be glad to listen to for the rest of the day. Add in its elegant, well-constructed design, simple operation, and the inclusion of Alexa, and you've got yourself a Bluetooth speaker sequel that has been well worth the wait.

Not many soundbars come with Bluetooth, but the Stage 360 from Creative does, and at less than $230, it's still far less expensive than many competitors. For those searching for a Bluetooth speaker that can be placed in an area where a TV or computer is present, this soundbar will accomplish two tasks at the same time. The sound quality is excellent, and it has a slew of useful features including as Dolby Atmos, HDMI connections, a remote control, and even a sub-woofer as standard. The lack of an aux input shouldn't be a problem in this case, but keep in mind that the USB port will not be able to charge a streaming stick.

The portable smart speaker market is flourishing, and with products such as the Bose Portable Home Speaker, which incorporates the capabilities of Google Assistant and Alexa as well as Bluetooth connectivity, the market is already expanding at a rapid pace. The Bose Portable Home Speaker isn't the brand's first outdoor-friendly speaker, and it shows: attractive minimalist design meets weather-ready durability, with a light build and handle that makes it easy to take with you wherever you want to listen to your music. This portable speaker doesn't quite match the sonic dexterity of the Sonos Move, or the value for money of the UE Boom 3 and JBL Charge 4, but it does deliver the signature Bose sound and build quality that we've come to expect from the company.

Its design is not so attractive however, underneath the plain exterior of the Urbanista Brisbane there is a highly effective Bluetooth speaker with impressive sound quality. In addition to being loud and rich-sounding, it's a reasonably cost accessory to anyone's house, with a long battery life and the possibility of pairing it with another Brisbane for complete stereo sound. The Urbanista Brisbane is, in the end, a good deal for the money you'll pay. However, you will pay significantly more for superior sound quality elsewhere. As a whole, this mid-range speaker has the potential to be a fantastic pick for anyone who desires the freedom of wireless listening without losing sound quality or volume.
