These speakers have no battery, come in pairs and generally will sound better than most portable battery Bluetooth speakers. Bigger woofers will have deeper bass but the speaker will generally be larger and heavier. They all come with a built in amp so you can stream directly from your phone or laptop. All of these speakers besides the small woofer models at the bottom are quite good.
