Small Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers Ranked

This page ranks 45 small size Bluetooth speakers. Only choose this size if you need something ultra-compact that fits in a pocket. Larger classes will get louder, have deeper bass, stereo imaging, and generally better sound at the same price. Bass can sound a bit slappy since these speakers can’t quite reach low enough for full bass notes. All are mono (single driver) and IPX7 or better unless noted.

To the average listener, speakers in the top 50% of this category will likely sound great. For the critical listener, aim for the top 20%. Don’t hesitate to pick any of those if you have budget, feature, or aesthetic priorities, there are a lot of good speakers here.

#1 Tribit Stormbox Micro 2: $50 Amazon Aliexpress

Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 ranking card

Pros: Best in class sound. Much deeper bass than most other speakers in the size. Built in strap is super useful for attaching it to things. Very neutral. To have it aimed directly at you unclip the strap and the speaker will sit upright with a slight lean back.

Cons: Finicky phone charging, which doesn’t usually work.

Setup: Use in Music EQ mode, when you swtich to custom it’s not able to boost the bass properly as it is missing an EQ band that Music EQ mode uses

#5 Tribit Stormbox Micro: $40 Amazon

Tribit Stormbox Micro ranking card

Pros: Quite neutral. Slight hollowness in the mids. Built in strap is super useful for attaching it to things. Highly recommend spending the extra $10 for the Micro 2 which goes louder and deeper. To have it aimed directly at you unclip the strap and the speaker will sit upright with a slight lean back.

Cons: Gets murky and slightly sharp near max volume; boosted bass distorts when pushed loud. Down-firing passive radiator needs a flat surface underneath or the bass gets muffled.
