If you love music and can’t seem to get enough of it, then it’s time to get a new portable speaker with an advanced version of Bluetooth and a powerful battery. Also, you need to find one that is water and dust resistant, to ensure better performance in the long run. So that literally means that you must look for one that you can both shower with, and also use in your backyard. Now, none of that is going to be fun if the sound crackles when you raise the volume and so the sound quality is not something worth compromising.

Now, finding a product with all of those features is definitely not going to be easy. So, to help you cut short the chase, and to make the right choice, we skimmed through hundreds of portable speakers, before narrowing down to the best ones. Picking the wrong speakers can be a party pooper and to help avoid that, we have reviewed some of the best performing and reasonably priced portable speakers with Bluetooth. Below listed are some of the best ones that we have come across, so far.

Oontz Angle 3 Portable Bluetooth Speaker

This tiny Bluetooth speaker runs on Bluetooth 4.2 and can work pretty well within a distance of 100 feet from the connected device. Also, it can resist water and dust, which makes it your perfect outdoor companion. So if you want to sit in your backyard and listen to some cool music then this one is great.

Since this product features IPX5-level water resistance, it can also take some rain and work just fine. However, don’t take it inside the pool while you take a dip, as submerging this product into the water could cause damage. Coming to its aesthetics, the Oontz Angle 3 comes in six different colors, but we like the seventh model which imitates a cola can. That’s because the cola can design instantly puts us in the party mood.

JBL Flip 4 Portable Bluetooth Speaker

If you crave for some non-stop, distortion-free music, try the JBL Flip 4, which comes with a powerful 3000 mAh battery. It is one of the best portable Bluetooth speakers that can last for about 12 hours at a stretch. Moreover, it is compatible with both Alexa and Google Assistant, and to connect it you simply need to press a button and you are done. It features water resistance at the IPX7 level, which means it can be submerged in water, but only about a foot deep.

Comiso Portable Bluetooth Speaker

Comiso is an awesome speaker that comes with the IPX7 certification and is ideal for those who are into water sports or live in regions like Forks. With a single charge, this portable Bluetooth speaker can play loud music for up to 20 hours and that’s awesome. This product is highly water-resistant and is ideal for Rock buffs and anyone who loves loud music.

We say this because this one is a lot louder than most other portable Bluetooth speakers and the sound quality does not drop, even when you raise its volume to the maximum. It comes with a modest 4.2 Bluetooth connectivity and is compatible with most voice assistants. As the Bluetooth range of this product is just about 100 feet, it is a perfect companion while you soak in the tub or are at the pool. However, for portable speakers with better range, you can look through other products like the one from Bugani on this list.

Anker Soundcore 2 Portable Bluetooth Speakers

Loaded with all the good stuff, the Anker Soundcore 2 comes with 12 watts stereo sound, 24 hours non-stop playtime, and features the IPX7 water resistance level. The makers claim that this product can also stay good in rains, dust and snow. So you could use it whenever and wherever you wish to, without the worries of damaging it. Although it doesn’t cost a lot of money to buy most of these toys, but eliminating that possibility would be the smartest thing to do, as a buyer. This product comes with a deep bass and moderate sound, so it isn’t something that you can use for hard core partying. Nonetheless, it is a wonderful companion while you do your gardening, cooking, or are working on your desk.

JBL Charge 3 Portable Bluetooth Speakers

This can-shaped portable Bluetooth speaker connects with up to 3 devices, and can play your favourite numbers non-stop for about 20 hours. In the meantime, if you need to answer any calls, then you can do it by simply pressing a button. Don’t worry if you need to do that while you are swimming because this product features IPX7 water-resistance level. The coolest thing about this product is that it is quite easy to put it on the low-frequency mode, by simply pressing the Bluetooth button, until one of the LED lights turn red. When you do this, the bass hits much deeper and the sound is great. The only drawback is that this portable Bluetooth speaker isn’t as small as most others are, so don’t be surprised by that.

Bugani’s portable Bluetooth Speakers

How would you like to have a power bank that can play awesome music and features two subwoofers? This retro-styled portable Bluetooth speaker comes loaded with an 8000 mAh battery that lets you play nonstop music and also allows you to charge your mobile phone. This product comes with some awesome features that include 5.0 Bluetooth, which ensures better connectivity and lets you use your Bluetooth device from a distance of 800 feet from the connected device.

The Bugani Portable bluetooth speaker is a versatile product that is compatible with a wide assortment of smart devices. You can connect it to laptops, computers, smartphones, smart TVs, iPhone, iPads, Tablets, and several other devices. However, it comes with IPX5 level water resistance, so it isn’t advisable to swim with it, but yes, it can take some splashes.

XLeader Portable Bluetooth Speaker

Xleader brings you a decent portable Bluetooth device which comes with a design that mimics echo dot. This product looks extremely trendy and sophisticated, which makes it absolutely perfect to gift. It makes use of the Bluetooth 4.1 technology which ensures better connectivity. The upper portion of this product comes with LED touch buttons, which makes it easier to use as compared to most other portable Bluetooth speakers that come with buttons underneath.

It comes with 1000 mAh battery that lasts for weeks if used for a couple of hours, on a daily basis. On the whole, the XLeader Portable Bluetooth speaker is a great bargain and is moderately priced under $20. However, you could also buy other add-ons for this product, such as the XLeader case and mobile stand. So if you are broke, but wish to gift someone a Bluetooth speaker, then this one from XLeader Portable would be your best choice.

Aomais Sport II Portable Bluetooth Speakers

The Aomais Sport II comes with a spectacular design and a whole bunch of awesome features. You can take it under water or use it while you spend time outdoors, and all of that without any worries about its maintenance. After all, this product is certified for IPX7 level water-resistance and that reconfirms its durability.

This product comes with Bluetooth 4.0 and its rubberized durable exterior makes it a great companion for campers and hikers. We say this because even if you drop it, this product isn’t going to break. However, if you dropped it down below, while climbing a hill, it’s completely up to you to either fetch it, or to simply buy a new one. If you went back to fetch it, the product would work just fine. However, since it is moderately priced under $35, you may not want to go through the grind.

Sony SRS X B12 Portable Bluetooth Speaker

The Sony SRS X B12 is an IPX67 Portable Bluetooth speaker comes with a detachable shoulder strap, and is easy to carry around. Despite its IPX67 level resistance, we recommend that you restrict its outdoor use to your backyard or patio, due to its delicate design. So, in our opinion, this may not be the best one to carry while camping or hiking.

We haven’t ranked this product as high as we otherwise would, due to its fragile design and the missing battery indicator. Also the fact that we like extremely loud speakers, and that this one isn’t as loud as most other portable Bluetooth speakers, contributed to it. Now, this shouldn’t bother someone who likes to listen to country or some other form of soft music. It is also ideal if you wish to use it on your work desk, as it is portable and easy to carry around.

We have curated the above list based on each product’s price, features, and functionality. In compiling this list, we have focused on the sound quality, battery life and resistance to external factors like water, moisture and dust. Most importantly, we have evaluated each of the above listed portable Bluetooth speakers based on the value that you derive from it.
