Looking for a Bluetooth speaker that charges your phone? A power-bank output lets the speaker’s battery top up a phone or other small USB device away from an outlet. It is useful on a camping trip, at the beach, or during an outage, but it trades speaker runtime for phone charge. These picks have a verified power-bank output and are still ranked for sound quality.

Check the output type and wattage before buying. USB-C can be more convenient than USB-A, but connector shape alone does not guarantee fast charging; a 5V/1A port is much slower than a higher-current or USB-PD output. For all-day playback with a replaceable cell, see the best speakers with a removable battery.

Best Overall

The best boombox Bluetooth speaker that can charge a phone is the Tribit Stormbox Blast: $179.99 Amazon $179.99 eBay

Newer model: the Tribit Stormbox Blast 2, ranked lower, rated 3.8/5, released Oct 2024. It adds AAC. See every Tribit Stormbox generation.

Same family: the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 (smaller model, rated 4.5/5), the Tribit Stormbox Flow (smaller model, rated 3.5/5) and the Tribit Stormbox Pro (smaller model, rated 3.7/5).

Pros: Amazing speaker given its size, competes well with some speakers in the Party size class, bass almost as deep as a JBL Partybox 100. Quite neutral in the default and xbass modes, but try Oluv’s EQ or Alan Ross’s EQ for a slightly more neutral sound. Oluv has mentioned v3.5 now uses his EQ as the defaults and sounds extremely good. 2 different light modes or can be turned off. Measured bass extension of 43Hz (-10dB).

Cons: Lacks a bit of detail compared to the top ranked speakers in other size categories, dip at 5.5kHz. Without the above EQ this speaker would rank around #4 in the rankings. The curved underside of the handle makes it a little harder to grip and can be uncomfortable to carry long distances.

Best Large Speaker

The best large Bluetooth speaker that can charge a phone through USB-C is the JBL Xtreme 5: $349.99 Amazon $349.99 B&H Photo Video eBay

Older models: the JBL Xtreme 3 (ranked lower, rated 4.3/5), the JBL Xtreme 4 (ranked lower, rated 3.8/5), the JBL Xtreme 2 (ranked lower, rated 3.4/5) and the JBL Xtreme (ranked lower, rated 3.2/5). See every JBL Xtreme generation.

Pros: Removable battery. Quite deep bass, reaching well below 40Hz. A fantastic sounding speaker with excellent off-axis dispersion, a big step up from older JBL portables. Beats the Soundcore Boom 2 and Tribit Stormbox Blast on bass depth and clarity. Plays clean at volume, unlike the JBL Boombox 4.

Cons: High priced. Some bass boost. A hole in the mid-upper bass which can’t be EQ’d out. Default EQ presets are weak (Signature is boring, Chill and Vocal are close to unusable): needs the custom EQ to sound its best. Bigger and heavier than the JBL Xtreme 4.

Setup: Try this Oluv EQ for the most neutral sound

For the same power-bank function (via USB-A instead of USB-C) at about a quarter of the price, get the Tribit Stormbox Lava: $119.99 Amazon $119.99 Lowest AliExpress $180.61 eBay

Pros: A powerful, IP67-rated portable speaker with a measured 44Hz -10dB bass point, 10-band app EQ, aux input and 24-hour claimed battery life. Independent reviews find that it gets loud with impactful bass, and careful EQ or current firmware can produce relatively clean sound through the mids and highs. Measured bass extension of 44Hz (-10dB).

Cons: XBass can make the low end muddy and obscure vocals, while the deepest notes lose authority and clarity falls at maximum volume. It is heavy for its size, its front-facing design has a narrow soundstage, and one review noted a brief sound interruption while changing volume.

Setup: Update the firmware to version 2 or later first, since version 2 was a big step up in sound quality. Then try out the Alan Ross EQ’s at this timestamp in his video. There’s also a max bass EQ from Oluv and you can turn down the lowest slider for it to be more neutral.

Best Compact Speaker

The best small Bluetooth speaker that can charge a phone is the Soundcore Boom Go 3i: $59.99 Amazon $59.99 AliExpress $133.27 eBay

Pros: An exceptionally rugged 380g mini speaker with IP68 protection, a floating sound-forward design, app EQ, RGB lighting, a battery display, USB-C power-bank output and Auracast/TWS linking. It reaches about 92dB and independent testing finds it lasts nearly six hours at maximum volume with lights and BassUp enabled, matching its demanding claim.

Cons: This is still a 15W mono speaker: bass impact and stereo width are limited, and critical listeners may find the upper treble piercing or metallic. It is directional by design, so the sound changes off-axis, and independent reviews note it lacks a built-in microphone; it is far better for rugged outdoor background music than a large gathering.

Setup: Try out Oluv’s EQ which slightly improves the sound

Best Party Speaker

The best party Bluetooth speaker with a built-in USB charging output is the Sony ULT Tower 7: $648.00 Amazon $648.00 eBay

Older model: the Sony SRS-XV800 (ranked lower, rated 4.1/5). See every Sony XB and ULT generation.

Same family: the Sony ULT Field 1 (smaller model, rated 3.1/5), the Sony ULT Field 7 (smaller model, rated 3.2/5), the Sony ULT Tower 10 (smaller model, rated 3.9/5), the Sony ULT Field 3 (smaller model, rated 3.4/5), the Sony ULT Field 5 (smaller model, rated 3.5/5), the Sony ULT Tower 5 (smaller model, ranked lower, rated 4.5/5), the Sony ULT Tower 9 (larger model, rated 4.2/5) and the Sony ULT Tower Max (larger model, rated 4.8/5).

Pros: A compelling large-party value at $648: 420W output, an IPX4-rated 30-hour battery, 360-degree sound, wheels and four carry handles at 22.8kg. The full review praises its punchy, clean ULT1 bass, ULT2’s higher-output mode, simplified controls and unusually complete I/O: USB-C, USB-A, RCA, balanced XLR and mic input.

Cons: The reviewer notes that Auracast pairing is not backward-compatible with Sony’s older Party Connect speakers, and the hard-plastic corners lack protective rubber bumpers. IPX4 is splash resistance rather than full weatherproofing; the 30-hour claim requires lights off.
