The Best Small Pocket Size Speaker With Built In Microphone

The best small pocket size speaker with a built in microphone and the best sound quality is the $60 Tribit Stormbox Micro 2

The Best Medium Size Speaker With Built In Microphone

The best medium size battery powered speaker with a built in microphone and the best sound quality with modern features is the $50 Earfun Uboom L (after clipped coupon and coupon UBOOMLWC in the payment options)

Positives: Tuned by Oluv and he knocked it out of the park. The audiophile choice. Extremely neutral, possibly the best of any modern Bluetooth speaker slightly behind the Vifa Helsinki. This is the only speaker that sounds correct at every volume level. Other speakers will need a different EQ at each volume level. For maximum volume without distortion use max volume - 1 step for most songs. Oluv left another higher volume for songs that are quiet. Amazing sounding at low levels as it boosts bass and treble at low levels to account for the equal-loudness contour.
Negatives: Latency is high (400ms) without turning on low latency mode (66ms) which doesn’t work when two speakers are TWS paired. Low latency mode can be turned on by pressing the Bluetooth button twice. If latency in TWS paired mode is a very important feature, like if you watch a lot of video, you may want to choose another speaker. The power button can sometimes get accidentally pressed when put in a bag. The aux input has quite a bit of latency and isn’t recommended for video use.
Setup: Try setting up the Earfun App (Android or iOS) to see if that works. If not, you’ll need to flash firmware 1.2.7 to work with the app and set with Oluv’s EQ in the Earfun app which sounds the best. The instructions say that you need a USB3 cable, but most USB2 cables work just fine, try the one included with your phone. Check the current firmware version by turning it on, then pressing the power and Bluetooth buttons at the same time. To flash, turn the speaker off then hold down the Bluetooth button while plugging in the cable. To flash on a mac, see these instructions. In TWS mode, long press the outdoor button for 2 seconds to change TWS to Party mode and back.

If you need a medium size stereo and omnidirectional speaker with a built in microphone, get the $68 Soundcore Motion 300 running Oluv’s EQ instead.

Positives: Pretty deep bass for the small size. Pocket size in a big pocket. Can be used in stereo facing you, or omnidirectional lying down. Ability to have a custom EQ for each orientation, standing, lying flat, hanging. Try the Uboom L EQs from Oluv for a more neutral sound.
Negatives: Without the above EQ or turning the top 2 treble EQ bars to max, this speaker is very rolled off in the treble and will rank around #50 in the rankings. Bassup mode is worse than Signature. Not quite as detailed or neutral as higher ranked speakers. Slight bass distortion when turned up.

The best medium size speaker with a built in microphone and a 0 latency aux for video use is the $80 Soundcore Motion+

Positives: The previous best sounding in class, still a great speaker with separate tweeters, more bass at full volume and better off-axis treble frequency response than the Uboom L. Just okay with the default EQ, I highly recommend using this EQ setting from r/kai7895 to get it more neutral. To achieve the absolute best sound you’ll need the Wavelet app (Android only) and set the provided Wavelet EQ in there too. Turn off the wavelet EQ for outdoor use. An alternative is Oluv’s EQ which only needs the Soundcore app EQ.
Negatives: Not quite as neutral or detailed as the Uboom L. Without the above EQ, this speaker will rank around #25 in the rankings.

The Best Large Size Speaker With Built In Microphone

The best reasonably priced large size battery powered speaker for deeper bass with a built in microphone and great sound quality is the $119 Tribit Stormbox Lava running this Oluv EQ

Positives: Fantastic bass extension. Sounds pretty neutral in the Jazz mode. Goes deeper than the Boom 2 as seen in the linked video of sound samples. Try this EQ from Oluv for the flattest response although adjust the lowest slider to your bass boost preference. Firmware 2.0.0 is a big improvement in neutrality.
Negatives: Quite heavy for the size. Some bass boost way down low. Treble and mids have some peaks.
App: Yes
Aux Input: Yes

The Best Boombox Size Speaker With Built In Microphone

The best boombox size battery powered speaker with a built in microphone and deep bass with excellent sound quality, that can get loud for a party but can still be carried by hand is the $110 Earfun Uboom X (after clipped coupon and code UBOOMXDR in the payment options)

Positives: Tuned by Oluv and he knocked it out of the park again. Deeper bass than the Stormbox Blast. Extremely neutral, possibly the best of any modern Bluetooth speaker slightly behind the Vifa Helsinki. This is the only speaker that sounds correct at every single volume level due to Oluv’s individual EQ settings at each volume level. Other speakers will need a different EQ at each volume level. Amazing sounding at low levels as it boosts bass and treble at low levels to account for the equal-loudness contour. Just considering the midrange and treble, this speaker is better sounding than the Earfun Uboom L.
Negatives: The out of the box 0.33 firmware and EQ sounds horrible. Some people have mentioned sound interruption issues when using 2 in TWS, I don’t have this issue with my Pixel 7 Pro, try disabling AAC in that case
Setup: Please update it using the Earfun app (Android or iOS) and select an Oluv EQ. The Earfun app has sound profiles created by Oluv for Studio, Indoor, Indoor+, Outdoor, Outdoor+, BOOM xxX, and Ground 0 which are all fantastic.
App: Yes
Aux Input: Yes
Aux Latency: 16ms
Bass Extension (-10dB): ~38hz
