Best Wireless Portable Bluetooth Speakers<\/h2>\nContent Map<\/h2>\n
Our Picks<\/strong><\/p>\n When in 2013 Ultimate Ear\u2019s boom UE boom came out, it had much running for it, including being waterproof and high volume. It fell short of expectations, however, when it came to audio quality. UE Boom 2 was designed to correct the flaws of the former.<\/p>\n The Boom 2 doesn\u2019t only correct some of the flaws; it as well brings in some improvements, as it maintains the great part of UE Boom. While the waterproof of the former could only survive a splash, this can survive being dipped in a meter of water for up to half an hour. Also, there is better sound quality when compared with\u00a0most of its peers in the market.<\/p>\n It has a tube design with 360 speakers\u00a0and comes with great features as well as advanced controls through iOS and Android applications. Its battery life is designed to last 15 hours, but that is only possible if played on a very low volume. Nonetheless, it still maintains a decent battery life. More so, you can update the speaker’s firmware via UE’s new app without connecting to a computer.<\/p>\n Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n Verdict<\/strong><\/p>\n Like every other, UE Boom 2 has its lapses, but by great measures, it is one of the best portable speakers you can find. Not only does it have features that most can\u2019t compete with, it is compact and rugged. Therefore, it is your product if you want something that is good and not in any way fragile.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n SoundLink Mini II has a story that is somewhat similar to UE Boom2. The speaker is an improvement of the SoundLink Mini which Bose made in 2013. It was developed to correct the short battery life and absence of speakerphone.<\/p>\n The Mini II doesn\u2019t only go above the first make; it is one of the best portable speakers today. The Mini and Mini II are similar in many ways, just as they are different in many. Both have the same fine design and are compact made. They are as well both great wireless speakers.<\/p>\n One difference is that the new one has voice prompts, as against the old. Also, it is hands-free and has nice control features. As regards the sound quality, the II slightly manages to go above the previous version.<\/p>\n Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n Verdict<\/strong><\/p>\n The Bose SoundLink Mini II is a great speaker that you get to enjoy even more if you need something mostly for indoor use. If you want something very compact with great sound, then this may be exactly what you’re looking for.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n This is one speaker that seems to have everything just right. From its design to sound quality and additional features, it\u2019s all almost the right hit.<\/p>\n It has decent bass and treble, the volume pretty much holds together even as you get it louder. More so, you can easily pair two Pulse 2 speakers wirelessly to cover a wider place. What gives it a different standing from the crowded speaker market is the multicoloured LED light it offers to go with music, even though it may not necessarily go with the tempo of the song.<\/p>\n The JBL pulse 2 has features including a built-in microphone with which you can answer your calls, LED lights, and a companion app for iOS and Android devices. With the app, you can adjust the light show, have firmware updates\u00a0from your mobile device, and make some settings.<\/p>\n Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n Verdict<\/strong><\/p>\n The truth is JBL has always produced some of the best wireless portable speakers including JBL charge 2. Nevertheless, with Pulse 2, it has brought something that is hard to beat. It is not only a speaker which can suit many situations, it is one that is compact, durable, and multi-functional. If you want a speaker you can enjoy for a long time and have fun all the way, the pulse 2 should be on your list.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The Creative Sound Blaster Roar 2 is not only one of the best portable speakers; it is one of the most multifunctional as well. While it is less portable than most others, it goes above what so many can give.<\/p>\n Apart from the speaker that it is, it has an inbuilt mic, a voice recorder, music player, and can serve as a power bank. It also has a Micro SD port which allows you play music from the SD card or record songs through the microphone.<\/p>\n The speaker is lighter and a little smaller than its original version, and it has quite a number of controls.<\/p>\n Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n Verdict<\/strong><\/p>\n If you are looking for a portable speaker that will be able to take care of so many things all at once, then this should do. If you want to compare it to the previous Roar, it is smaller\u00a0but more powerful in more ways than one.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The Beats Pill+ became the first portable wireless speaker to be produced by the Beats after it was bought by Apple. It is a beautiful and portable speaker with its sound bigger than its size.<\/p>\n It comes with features such as a built-in speakerphone, which will allow you answer your calls through it, the ability to Sync two Beats Pill+, and is to a good extent, water resistant. Also, its apps are available for iOS and some Android devices.<\/p>\n Although it does not offer the best in bass, one thing that stands it out from most others is how it manages to control distortion at a very loud volume.<\/p>\n Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n Verdict<\/strong><\/p>\n The Beats Pill + is not an upgrade of the previous speakers, it is, in fact, different, and definitely better.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n It has features which include a strap that allows you hang down the speaker. The speaker is also splash and dust proof, and can automatically connect to the last paired device. One problem most people have is as regards the charging. You do not get to charge it with the regular USB cord, therefore\u00a0keeping the one it comes with very well is of the essence.<\/p>\n While it is rather a smaller speaker compared to most others, it does a lot effortlessly. This includes giving good audio quality with hardly any distortion even at a loud volume and giving a 360-degree sound as a result of its round shape.<\/p>\n You can easily connect two Beoplay A1 speakers wirelessly to either\u00a0create a stereo pair or augment the volume.<\/p>\n Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n Verdict<\/strong><\/p>\n This is one of the most convenient portable speakers which can serve you both indoors and outdoors. Once you are alright with the price, this is a speaker you can easily go with. it combines beauty, quality, good battery life, and great sound quality.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n You will be permitted to look at the speaker more than once, as a result of its beautiful shape. That, however, is only where it begins. The speaker has other really cool things\u00a0including portability, ruggedness, loudness, and great Bluetooth connectivity working for it.<\/p>\n It is an improvement of the UE Roll which happens to look exactly as the latter, although performing below. The good news is that this is not only an improvement in performance but also in price, as it is cheaper than the former. The Roll 2 is great for both indoor and outdoor use, as a result of its portability and ruggedness like most other Ultimate Ears\u2019\u00a0speakers.<\/p>\n Roll 2 has features such as a\u00a0waterproof fabric which covers the front, provisions to work with Apple and Android Bluetooth wireless devices, as well as\u00a0a nice floatie which allows the speaker to float on water if you want to relax in a\u00a0pool. While you can place this side by side the\u00a0Beoplay A1, this is quite a better speaker in many ways.<\/p>\n Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n Verdict<\/strong><\/p>\n For prices in its range, this is the best portable speaker you could\u00a0get. Like all other speakers, it has its shortcoming; however, it is great in so many ways. If what you’re looking for is a great value for money that can perform great in so many ways, then this product is for you.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n The most special thing about the Fugoo Sport is its excellent battery life which can last up to 40 hours if played on average volume. It is is the best you can get out there.<\/p>\n it is designed with various interesting capabilities, alongside it’s ruggedness. It can be submerged in water for up to 30 minutes and it will still work fine. There is as well the voice prompts that come up when you hold down the on\/off button. It tells you if your speaker is on, as well as your battery level.<\/p>\n It has features such as 6 acoustic drivers\u00a0mounted on the speaker to help in delivering a 360-degree audio, SIRI and Google Now voice control to serve as a\u00a0personal assistant in getting audio information on scores, weather and other things, as well as waterproof ability.<\/p>\n Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n Verdict<\/strong><\/p>\n This is definitely one portable speaker that can do different interesting things, and yet not put pressure on you to constantly charge because of its hard to beat battery life. Also, it is one that will give you more sound quality at quite the right volume. If you want a speaker with good quality and value as icing, then this speaker is for you.<\/p>\n When JBL Charge was introduced, many actually thought it had everything a Bluetooth speaker should have. It was sturdy, compact, with good audio quality, loud and had good battery life. It was a darling until the Charge 2 came on board.<\/p>\n With the Charge 2, there was an improvement of the former, as well as an integration of more interesting features. The result is a Bluetooth speaker that had great treble and bass sound quality, as well as multi-functionality and versatility. Also, its design is sleek and great in many ways.<\/p>\n It has features such as the Bluetooth Social Mode which allows three people to pair their devices to the speaker and take turns to play music from their individual devices, cool! isn’t it?. It also has 12 hours battery life and can be used as a power bank to charge your mobile device. There is as well the speakerphone function with which you can answer and end calls without necessarily going for the phone.<\/p>\n Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n Verdict<\/strong><\/p>\n The JBL charge 2 is a good bet even among the very best portable speakers. It is specifically good as it is convenient and great for both indoor and outdoor use. Its Bluetooth connectivity is great and in general, it is a speaker that is highly valuable.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n With the Sony SRS-XB3, you get good audio quality, loud volume, and a\u00a024 hours battery life. It delivers both treble and bass high and clear, although it is much better when it comes to delivering bass.<\/p>\n This compact speaker is not as light as most, or even as sleek as others, but it is as good on the track as only a few. It is fused with a different technology such as SBC sound decoder and D SEE technology for a greater audio experience.<\/p>\n The speaker is designed with features such as Bluetooth wireless range of 33 feet, waterproof properties, EXTRA BASS button to enhance the bass, and built-in microphone. It supports android, iOS, and Windows app. The speaker can be controlled from any Bluetooth enabled device.<\/p>\n Pros<\/strong><\/p>\n Cons<\/strong><\/p>\n Verdict<\/strong><\/p>\n With the Sony SRS-XB3, you may get the best sound quality you have ever gotten from any speaker. It has been able to meet price and functionality on the same floor, making it ideal for everyone, although it is best for high beat music like rock and hip-hop. What makes it the more interesting is that it is durable.<\/p>\nHere are our best portable speakers: <\/a><\/h3>\n
