101 portable speakers in our rankings sound even in every direction, either from true 360° dispersion (opposing front-and-rear or fully radial drivers) or from a single upward-firing driver that spreads sound around a table instead of at whoever’s in front. See the best omnidirectional speakers for a single top pick per size in each of those two approaches.
This is every match, grouped by size and sorted by measured sound quality.

Small Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers
Ranked #1 of 50 in Small Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Tribit Stormbox Micro 2: $59.99 Amazon AliExpress eBay
Newer model: the Tribit Stormbox Micro 3, ranked lower, rated 4.2/5.
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. Measured bass extension of 65Hz (-10dB).
Cons: Finicky phone charging, which doesn’t usually work.
Setup: Use in Music EQ mode, when you switch to custom it’s not able to boost the bass properly as it is missing an EQ band that Music EQ mode uses

Ranked #2 of 50 in Small Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Soundcore Boom Go 3i: $59.99 Amazon AliExpress 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

Ranked #5 of 50 in Small Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Tribit Stormbox Micro: $40 Discontinued eBay
Newer model: the Tribit Stormbox Micro 3, ranked lower, rated 4.2/5.
Pros: Quite neutral. Slight hollowness in the mids. Built in strap is super useful for attaching it to things. Highly recommend spending a little more on 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. Measured bass extension of 62Hz (-10dB).
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. Discontinued and no longer sold new; superseded by the Stormbox Micro 2.

Ranked #6 of 50 in Small Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Tribit Stormbox Micro 3: $49.98 Amazon AliExpress eBay
Older models: the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 (ranked higher, rated 4.5/5) and the Tribit Stormbox Micro (ranked higher, rated 4.3/5).
Pros: Tribit Stormbox Micro 3 uses 48mm NdFeB driver with coaxial passive radiators. Its 330 g, claimed 24 hours (Manufacturer specified) battery life, IP68 protection, up to 93dB and mono playback make it a practical option for its intended room or portable use. PartyUp and Auracast party mode link multiple speakers. Measured bass extension of 62Hz (-10dB).
Cons: Bass is limited by its 62Hz specification. Bass is thuddy and distorted by default and needs EQ.

Ranked #8 of 50 in Small Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Soundcore Mini 3 Pro: $30 Discontinued eBay
Pros: Lights on top. Deeper bass than most other speakers in the size. Measured bass extension of 58Hz (-10dB).
Cons: Rolled off highs. Real-world battery life falls well short of the 15-hour claim at higher volumes. Buttons are hard to see (black print on black housing) and it won’t multipoint to two phones at once. Discontinued and no longer sold new.

Ranked #10 of 50 in Small Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Vifa City: $139.00 Discontinued Amazon eBay
Pros: Quite detailed. Balanced, controlled sound with clear vocals even at low volume rather than a bass-forward ‘boombox’ voicing. Two units can pair for a stereo pair. Measured bass extension of 73Hz (-10dB).
Cons: Dip at 1200Hz. Doesn’t boost bass at low levels. Not that deep of bass. Only IPX4. Discontinued.

Ranked #11 of 50 in Small Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Marshall Willen II: $129.99 Amazon eBay
Older model: the Marshall Willen (ranked lower, rated 3.8/5).
Pros: More balanced than the first Willen, no sharp treble. Measured bass extension of 70Hz (-10dB).

Ranked #12 of 50 in Small Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Ultimate Ears Miniroll: $49.99 Amazon eBay
Older model: the Ultimate Ears Roll 2 (rated 2.2/5).
Pros: Ultimate Ears Miniroll uses 45.6mm active with passive radiator. Its 279 g, claimed 12 hours (Manufacturer specified) battery life, IP67 protection, up to 83dB and mono playback make it a practical option for its intended room or portable use. Good clarity and detail in the mids and highs, with a warmer balance than most speakers its size.

Ranked #17 of 50 in Small Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Mifa Tango: $95 Discontinued eBay
Pros: A compact 390g speaker that reaches an unusually high 97dB maximum level for its size, with IP67 protection, USB-C charging, a flashlight, microSD playback, speakerphone capability and TWS/PartyAdd linking. Its orientation-aware tuning and strong output make it a capable choice for travel or a small outdoor group. Measured bass extension of 69Hz (-10dB).
Cons: The rising response and 4kHz peak make the sound more balanced off-axis than directly in front, while its 69Hz -10dB bass point limits real low-end weight. There is no app or EQ, and reports note potential Android pairing/distortion issues. It is discontinued, so condition and support matter on the used market.

Ranked #18 of 50 in Small Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Bose Soundlink Micro 2: $129.00 Amazon eBay
Older model: the Bose Soundlink Micro (ranked lower, rated 3.5/5).
Pros: IP67 rated, survives a 1m dunk for 30 minutes. Compact fabric strap for clipping to bags/bikes: replaces the 1st-gen’s hook clip, which was prone to breaking. USB-C charging. Surprisingly good bass when mounted outdoors, like on a bike.
Cons: Lack of clarity. Overly boosted bass that causes some thudding, and can overdrive/distort at higher volumes: worse in this regard than the 1st-gen model. Overly boosted treble, turn down bass and treble in the EQ. Falls clearly behind the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 on bass depth, cleanliness, and loudness.

Older models: the JBL Clip 4 (ranked lower, rated 3.4/5), the JBL Clip 3 (ranked lower, rated 2.7/5) and the JBL Clip (ranked lower, rated 2.7/5).
Pros: JBL Portable app adds custom EQ. Wider carabiner and thicker back padding than the Clip 4. IP67 rated. Auracast support for pairing multiple JBL speakers.
Cons: Generally more of the same from the Clip series in terms of sound but with more features. Basically about the same as the Clip 4.

Newer model: the JBL Clip 5, ranked higher, rated 3.4/5.
Pros: Very light (0.4 lb) with a sturdy spring clip that attaches to bags/belts. Real-world battery life often beats the 10-hour rating. Measured bass extension of 80Hz (-10dB).
Cons: Quite a lack of bass. Not very loud.

Ranked #24 of 50 in Small Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Soundcore Select 4 Go: $22.99 Amazon AliExpress B&H Photo Video eBay
Pros: Quite inexpensive for what you get
Cons: Not as deep of bass as higher ranked speakers. Doesn’t get very loud before sound quality drops; some sibilance on snare/stick transients. No built-in mic; playback is mono unless you buy a second unit.

Ranked #26 of 50 in Small Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - JBL Go 5: $39.95 Amazon eBay
Older models: the JBL Go 4 (ranked lower, rated 3.2/5) and the JBL Go 3 (ranked lower, rated 3.2/5).
Pros: IP68 rating, up from the Go 4’s IP67. AirTouch tap-to-pair stereo linking. 7-band custom app EQ, up from the Go 4’s 5-band. USB-C wired audio input.
Cons: Still overpriced for what it delivers, not very different from the Go 4 besides the lights. Still lacking bass and not very clear overall. Mono downmixing produces an audible growling artifact, the same issue noted on the JBL Charge 6. Falls well short of similarly priced rivals like the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2. Weak off-axis dispersion and an uneven, upper-mid-heavy tonal balance. Doesn’t get meaningfully louder at max volume, just harsher.

Ranked #27 of 50 in Small Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - JBL Go 4: $49.95 Amazon B&H Photo Video eBay
Newer model: the JBL Go 5, ranked higher, rated 3.2/5.
Pros: A little more bass than the Go 3 and they fixed the strange mids peak. Measured bass extension of ~82Hz (-10dB).
Cons: Not much bass at all, especially with electronic/bass-heavy tracks pushed past ~50% volume. Midrange can sound grainy and treble a bit sizzly; loses clarity at higher volumes.

Ranked #29 of 50 in Small Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Tribit PocketGo: $22.99 Amazon eBay
Pros: Fuller low end than the JBL Go 5, despite the JBL’s clearer, more typical JBL sound. Costs about half the price of the JBL Go 5. Can stand, hang from its loop, or lay flat on its feet for flexible placement. About on par with the Soundcore Select 4 Go, and a touch louder at lower volumes. App support with signature EQ and customization.
Cons: Battery life isn’t the biggest for this speaker class. JBL Go 5 has better build quality plus lightshow, Auracast, and AirTouch. Loses more bass than the Soundcore Select 4 Go at maximum volume. Slightly nasal quality to the sound.

Ranked #30 of 50 in Small Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Onn Small Rugged Speaker: $14.88 Walmart eBay
Pros: A highly portable 286g, IPX7-rated speaker with USB-C charging, a built-in mic, aux input and Party Sync support. For a very small, single-driver speaker it is easy to throw in a bag and owner feedback is consistently positive about its straightforward setup, toughness and everyday sound. Measured bass extension of 66Hz (-10dB).
Cons: Its 1.5-inch driver cannot create meaningful deep bass (about 66Hz at -10dB) or the clarity and scale of better small speakers. It is mono, has no app or EQ, and the upward-facing driver makes it more of a close-range tabletop speaker than a room-filling one.

Pros: Very small, one of the smallest in the small class and good performance based on the size and weight. Nice magnetic clip with hole for hanging. Measured bass extension of 90Hz (-10dB).
Cons: For the small class, lacking quite a bit of bass compared to the top ranked speakers. Discontinued and no longer sold new.

Ranked #33 of 50 in Small Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Monster Bluetooth Speaker: $19.99 Amazon eBay
Pros: A very light, IPX7-rated mini speaker with USB-C charging, aux and microSD playback, speakerphone support and TWS pairing. It is a convenient rugged travel speaker when water resistance and small size matter more than bass. Measured bass extension of 95Hz (-10dB).
Cons: Its tiny 36mm driver has very limited bass (about 95Hz at -10dB), elevated mids and rolled-off highs. It cannot deliver the scale, detail or battery endurance of stronger small-speaker rivals, and no app or EQ is available to improve the tuning.

Older models: the Sony SRS-XB13 (ranked lower, rated 2.8/5) and the Sony SRS-XB12 (ranked lower, rated 2.5/5).
Pros: Long real-world battery life (~17 hours in testing). IP67 rated and pocketable at 267g, with a clip for bags/gear. Can stereo-pair two units.
Cons: Not much bass. Seems pretty much the same as the XB13, maybe a teeny bit deeper bass and a little less muddy.

Pros: Sony SRS-XB13 uses 46mm. Its 255 g, claimed 16 hours (Manufacturer specified) battery life, IP67 protection, up to 88dB and mono playback make it a practical option for its intended room or portable use. A removable strap hangs it from a bag or bike. Measured bass extension of 88Hz (-10dB).
Cons: Bass is limited by its 88Hz specification. There is no companion app. No EQ adjustment. Not much bass, and the sound is muddy. Discontinued.

Ranked #38 of 50 in Small Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - JBL Clip: $50 Discontinued eBay
Newer model: the JBL Clip 5, ranked higher, rated 3.4/5.
Pros: Very compact and light (5.3 oz) with an integrated carabiner. Has its own built-in 3.5mm aux cable, so you don’t need to carry one separately. Measured bass extension of ~95Hz (-10dB).
Cons: Quite a lack of bass. Mids are a little hollow. Discontinued.

Ranked #48 of 50 in Small Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Xiaomi Sound Pocket: $22.62 Amazon AliExpress eBay
Pros: A genuinely pocketable 200g speaker with IP67 protection, USB-C charging, speakerphone capability and TWS pairing. Independent listening finds it surprisingly loud and clear for hotel rooms, patios and travel, with acceptable sound at moderate volume.
Cons: Its 5W driver has little real bass, and vocals can become harsh as volume rises beyond roughly 80%. When upright on a hard surface it can vibrate or walk around, and the claimed 10-hour battery life applies only at modest volume; full recharging is slow at around three hours.

Cons: It sounds worse than a clock radio with the worst bass of any speaker. It’s a huge compromise in sound for the small weight.

Medium Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers
Ranked #2 of 157 in Medium Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Soundcore Motion 300: $79.99 Amazon eBay
Older model: the Soundcore Motion+ (ranked lower, rated 4.4/5).
Pros: 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. Measured bass extension of 50Hz (-10dB).
Cons: 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.

Ranked #7 of 157 in Medium Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Minirig 3: $140 Discontinued eBay
Newer model: the Minirig 4, ranked higher, rated 4.3/5.
Pros: Modular, can easily attach a subwoofer. Measured bass extension of 53Hz (-10dB).
Cons: Not stereo. Calls itself splash resistant and has no official water rating. App is buggy. Wireless TWS pairing is buggy. A bit expensive. Has reliability issues more often than any other speaker. Discontinued; Minirig now sells only the Minirig 4, and the old product page redirects to it.

Older models: the B&O Beosound A1 2nd gen (ranked higher, rated 4.3/5) and the B&O Beosound A1 (ranked higher, rated 4.3/5).
Pros: Longer battery than the 2nd gen (~24 hours at sensible volumes). IP67 rated with a serviceable, replaceable battery: the first Bluetooth speaker with Cradle to Cradle certification. Multipoint connectivity and aptX Adaptive.
Cons: Distorts easier than the 2nd gen with deeper bass. Dipped area in the upper mids. Not as deep of bass as the 2nd gen

Ranked #33 of 157 in Medium Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Earfun Uboom 360: $42 Discontinued eBay
Pros: Similar to the Maxsound Plus in sound, likely uses the same drivers. Likely the best 360 speaker. Measured bass extension of 61Hz (-10dB).
Cons: Not stereo. Slightly rolled off treble, not as deep of bass as the best in category. Outdoor mode is more flat, indoor mode boosts bass. Not technically a 360 speaker, only front and rear. Discontinued and no longer sold new.

Pros: 24 hour battery life (60% volume, XBass off); doubles as a power bank. IP67 rated. Multi-point Bluetooth 5.3 pairing. Measured bass extension of 58Hz (-10dB).
Cons: Bottom woofer was fixed in a later firmware, upgrade for best sound. Peaky mids, highs rolled off. Not technically a 360 speaker, only front and rear. Discontinued; Tribit has retired it.

Ranked #46 of 157 in Medium Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - JBL Pulse 5: $219.99 Amazon eBay
Newer model: the JBL Pulse 6. It’s likely to perform similarly, though we can’t confirm that yet.
Pros: JBL Pulse 5 uses 64mm woofer, 16mm tweeter. Its 1500 g, claimed 12 hours (Manufacturer specified) battery life, IP67 protection and mono playback make it a practical option for its intended room or portable use. A cool light show, though it is not synced to the music like the Pulse 2. Measured bass extension of ~58Hz (-10dB).
Cons: Bass is limited by its ~58Hz specification. Bass does not reach as deep as others, and the plastic scratches easily.

Ranked #52 of 157 in Medium Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Bose SoundLink Revolve (Series II): $194.00 Amazon eBay
Older model: the Bose Soundlink Revolve (ranked lower, rated 3.5/5).
Pros: RTINGS measured a fairly neutral sound with a balanced midrange, so vocals and lead instruments come through clearly, and excellent directivity from the 360° design for an open, even sound around the room. In a side by side test against the Revolve+ II and B&O Beosound A1 2nd gen, several listeners preferred its clearer, less bass heavy tuning to the Revolve+ II. Up to 13 hours of battery, IP55 dust and water resistance, a built-in microphone for calls and voice assistants, and multi-connect for two devices at once.
Cons: RTINGS found it lacks low bass, so there’s little deep thump or rumble. It doesn’t get loud either: DXOMARK measured only about 73 to 74 dBA at maximum volume, against 85 to 89 dBA for speakers like the Sony SRS-XB43 in the same test, and bass compresses and pumps as you turn it up. There is no EQ in the Bose Connect app, a single unit plays mono, and it still charges over micro USB.

Ranked #53 of 157 in Medium Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Tronsmart T8: $49.99 Best Buy Tronsmart eBay
Pros: Two upward firing drivers, a woofer and two passive radiators spread sound evenly around the speaker, so placement matters less. In AudioPro Reviews’ and Dresser’s comparisons most listeners preferred it to the JBL Flip 6, JBL Flip 7 and Ultimate Ears Megaboom 3 for its fuller body and less fatiguing treble, and Audioreviews.org found it stayed clean at maximum volume. It is rated for 40W, with IPX7 waterproofing, an 18 hour battery rating, app EQ, lights, a volume wheel, aux input, TF card playback, a lanyard and stereo pairing.
Cons: Against the Xiaomi Sound Outdoor, listeners in Mateusz Cholewa’s comparison found the T8 harsh and tiring, and Techder Audios’ test showed the Xiaomi Sound Party with deeper, heavier bass. Josh’s Gadgets and More preferred the cheaper Vortex Blast for smoother highs and deeper bass. Bass is rated only down to 56Hz.

Pros: True 360° sound stays consistent no matter where you stand around it, unlike most portable speakers. Measured bass extension of 64.5Hz (-3dB).
Cons: Not stereo. Strange sizzling treble, peaks and dips. Overly boosted boomy bass at 75Hz. Discontinued.

Ranked #56 of 157 in Medium Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Tribit Stormbox Flow: $79.99 Tribit eBay
Pros: Up to 30 hours of battery life: roughly double most rivals (~20-24 hrs with XBass on). IP67 rated with a loose handle for carrying/hanging. Pairs with a second Flow for stereo; USB-C port charges your phone too. Measured bass extension of 47Hz (-10dB).
Cons: Not stereo. Midrange and bass are weirdly recessed about 4db below 700Hz. You need xbass mode for it to not sound like a clock radio with missing bass. You also can’t turn up the bass enough in the custom EQ modes to get it neutral, so it will sound bass light. Firmware 1.2.3 fixes the distortion issues with xbass mode on, but bass still sounds wobbly and uncontrolled.

Ranked #59 of 157 in Medium Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Bogasing M5: $52.99 Amazon eBay
Older model: the Bogasing M4 (ranked higher, rated 4/5).
Pros: Compact enough for a backpack side pocket at under 1.7 lb. Up to 30 hours of battery life. USB-C charging: no proprietary cable to lose. Measured bass extension of 61Hz (-10dB).
Cons: Front/rear driver configuration. Use bass mode for the flattest response. Sounds thin in the midrange. Hot treble and rolled off bass in default mode. Treble a bit rolled off in bass mode.

Ranked #72 of 157 in Medium Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Bose Portable Smart Speaker: $399.00 Bose eBay
Pros: Both Alexa and Google Assistant are built in, and RTINGS rates its microphones as excellent at hearing commands from far away or in a noisy room. It works as a Wi-Fi speaker at home (AirPlay 2, Chromecast built-in, Spotify Connect) and as a Bluetooth speaker away from Wi-Fi, weighs about 1 kg with a carry handle, and is IPX4 splash resistant. SoundGuys measured 13 hours 6 minutes of playback at 75 dB, beating Bose’s 12 hour claim, and found the bass impressive for its size, especially near a wall or corner. Its 360 degree design spreads sound evenly around a room.
Cons: RTINGS found the out of the box tuning boomy and says it doesn’t get very loud; the app’s bass and treble sliders help, and SoundGuys recommended cutting bass by 10 to 20 steps to balance it. Pushed to full volume, Tom’s Guide heard unbalanced sound and Pocket-lint found the bass struggling and turning incoherent. RTINGS measured only about 5 hours of battery in its own test. It is mono, has no aux input (the USB-C port only charges), uses Bluetooth 4.2, and the Bose Music app supports a limited list of streaming services. IPX4 covers splashes only, not submersion or dust.

Pros: Sturdy rubber-coated build. ~24 hour battery life with fast 18W USB-C charging; can reverse-charge your phone. IP67 rated. Measured bass extension of ~64Hz (-10dB).
Cons: Upper bass boost. Bass not as deep as the top ranked speakers. Boosted lower treble, sounds a little harsh like most Klipsch speakers.

Older model: the Tribit Stormbox (ranked lower, rated 2.8/5).
Pros: A little better sounding than the Stormbox 1, less of a rolled off treble. Keep Xbass on for best frequency response.
Cons: Drivers on the side, so it will have a rolled off treble listening to it face on.

Cons: Not stereo, barely any bass. You can tell from the micro USB that they are just feeding you the same crap hardware over and over, this is inexcusable for a product released in 2018. Not technically a 360 speaker, only front and rear.

Ranked #101 of 157 in Medium Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2: $80 Amazon eBay
Newer model: the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4, ranked higher, rated 2.9/5.
Pros: IP67 rated and floats. Compact and light enough to toss in a bag. Measured bass extension of 82Hz (-10dB).
Cons: Not stereo, barely any bass, recessed treble. Slightly boosted 93Hz upper bass Dip at 9kHz. You can tell from the micro USB that they are just feeding you the same crap hardware over and over, this is inexcusable for a product released in 2019. Not technically a 360 speaker, only front and rear.

Newer model: the Tribit Stormbox 2, ranked higher, rated 3/5.
Pros: IPX7 water resistant, dual pairing for stereo setup, excellent battery life (20 hours), instant on/off buttons, 97dB max volume. Measured bass extension of 52Hz (-10dB).
Cons: Muffled sounding, treble dips from 5kHz-12kHz. Listening from the front is the worst frequency response, lay it down facing up with xbass off for the smoothest response. Not technically a 360 speaker, only front and rear. Discontinued; Tribit has retired it, superseded by the Stormbox 2.

Ranked #115 of 157 in Medium Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Marshall Emberton III: $129.99 Amazon eBay
Older model: the Marshall Emberton II (ranked lower, rated 2.7/5).
Pros: 30 hour battery life: among the best in its class; a 20 min quick-charge gives 4 hours. IP67 rated, durable rubbery build using 50% recycled plastic. Measured bass extension of 62Hz (-10dB).
Cons: Strange unnatural echo-like sound coloration, bass not as deep as competitors. Not technically a 360 speaker, only front and rear. Not very loud. Not really any different from the Emberton II except having the treble turned down a little bit.

Ranked #5 of 97 in Large Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Minirig 4 with subwoofer: $290 Minirigs eBay
Older models: the Minirig 3 with subwoofer (ranked lower, rated 4.6/5) and the Minirig 2 with subwoofer (ranked lower, rated 4.5/5).
Pros: Very balanced sound. Finally USB-C charging. Deeper, more impactful bass than the old Sub 3. Subwoofer pairs wirelessly and can be placed anywhere in the room for extra bass. Fine-grained tuning via the app: 5-band EQ plus separate bass/treble and subwoofer controls. Sounded more accurate than the JBL Xtreme 5 in a side-by-side comparison, and the whole 2.1 setup is smaller and lighter than it.
Cons: Not stereo, app is buggy. Not easy to carry on the go, no handle and there’s 2 pieces. Calls itself splash resistant but has no official water rating. A bit expensive. Has reliability issues more often than any other speaker. Default out-of-the-box tuning sounds off and needs a custom EQ to sound its best.

Ranked #11 of 97 in Large Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Marshall Stockwell II: $229.99 Amazon eBay
Newer model: the Marshall Stockwell III, ranked lower, rated 3/5.
Pros: Marshall Stockwell II uses 3” woofer, 2x 2” fullrange tweeters. Its 1.4 kg, claimed 20 hours (Manufacturer specified) battery life, IPX4 protection, aux input, up to 96dB and mono playback make it a practical option for its intended room or portable use. Possibly the most natural sounding Marshall speaker, with excellent off-axis sound. Measured bass extension of 44Hz (-10dB).
Cons: Bass is limited by its 44Hz specification. There is no companion app. No EQ adjustment. Not very loud, and the added DSP reverb may annoy purists.

Ranked #35 of 97 in Large Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Ultimate Ears Everboom: $149.99 Amazon eBay
Pros: Ultimate Ears Everboom uses 2x 56.6mm x 56.2mm fullrange transducers + 2x passive radiators. Its 949 g, claimed 20 hours (Manufacturer specified) battery life, IP67 protection, aux input and mono playback make it a practical option for its intended room or portable use.
Cons: Careful placement and volume setting remain important for balanced sound. Warm tuning with an upper-bass boost and rolled-off treble, and the bass does not go very deep.

Ranked #71 of 97 in Large Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Marshall Stockwell III: $249.99 Marshall eBay
Older model: the Marshall Stockwell II (ranked higher, rated 4.5/5).
Pros: 40+ hour battery life with a user-replaceable battery, strap, sleeve and grilles. Doubles as a USB-C power bank. IP55 dust/water resistance. App includes parametric EQ, a Soundstage widening control, and wall/corner placement compensation. Endless-rotation control knobs.
Cons: Highs are recessed by default and need the treble control maxed to compensate, still lacking detail even then. Bass tends to sound resonant and boomy, with reported frequency cancellation and phase issues on complex material that EQ doesn’t fully resolve. Oluv’s A/B testing against the outgoing Stockwell II finds the default tuning muffled and muddy enough to prefer the seven-year-old original out of the box, and output loses dynamics and bass while turning harsh well below maximum volume. No aptX support.

Ranked #73 of 97 in Large Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Tronsmart Force Max: $119.99 Tronsmart eBay
Pros: Two woofers, two tweeters and two passive radiators on opposite faces spread its 80W of sound all around it. IPX6 water resistance, a 13 hour battery rating at half volume, a retractable strap, aux input, TF card and USB playback, a USB-C power bank, three EQ presets, a speakerphone microphone and stereo pairing.
Cons: Sonido Pesado found the Tronsmart Halo 100 clearly better, with clearer mids and highs. The Force Max’s mids are recessed and it audibly distorts near full volume, which Dominik Reviews put down to a poorly set limiter, and listeners preferred the Sony SRS-XB43 for balance. There is no app, it uses the older Bluetooth 5.0, and it weighs 2.54 kg.

Boombox Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers
Ranked #42 of 90 in Boombox Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Kicker Bullfrog BF400: $399.99 Discontinued eBay
Pros: In a five speaker side by side from Livin’ Loud with Andy it had the clearest sound of the group, ahead of the JBL Xtreme 3, JBL Flip 5 and Kicker’s own Bullfrog BF100, with a flatter pink noise response through the mids and highs. In Williston Audio Labs’ test most listeners also preferred it to the much bigger Turtlebox Original Gen3 and Pioneer PBM5 for its cleaner sound. Two full range drivers and two passive radiators fire from both sides for 360° sound. IP66, a rated 20 hours at medium volume, an FM tuner, aux input, a USB power bank output, the Kicker Connect app with five EQ presets, and DoubleKICK pairing with a second Bullfrog.
Cons: It trades bass for that clarity: listeners heard less low end than from the JBL Flip 5 and the Turtlebox. It isn’t very loud either, peaking at about 96 dB in Williston Audio Labs’ test against 102 dB for the Turtlebox and 105 dB for the Pioneer, from a modest 20W amplifier. Battery life falls to about 3 hours at loud volume, and it charges only from its own 15V barrel plug adapter. Discontinued.

Party Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers
Ranked #1 of 44 in Party Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Sony ULT Tower 7: $648.00 Amazon eBay
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.

Ranked #24 of 44 in Party Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Marshall Bromley 450: $649.95 Amazon B&H Photo Video eBay
Pros: A balanced, warm sound with a flat midrange that keeps vocals and instruments clear, plenty of bass rumble and enough treble for energetic vocals, per RTINGS’ lab tests. Drivers on all four sides keep the tonal balance nearly the same from any angle, and M1M Tech Channel found it more open and airy than the Soundboks Mix and Teufel Rockster Air 2, with deeper bass than both. RTINGS measured 18.8 hours of battery from a swappable LiFePO4 pack shared with the Bromley 750, and it adds IP55 protection, two XLR/6.35mm combo inputs, USB-C audio, Auracast and physical bass and treble knobs.
Cons: It is the quietest of its rivals: both the Soundboks Mix and Teufel Rockster Air 2 play louder, and near max volume the bass recedes and the sound gets less composed. The warm tuning lacks some fine treble detail. There is no graphic EQ, only bass and treble knobs, and its stereo spreads left and right channels around the cabinet, so panned elements can land on the wrong side. At 12.3 kg it has a carry handle but no wheels.

Large Party Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers
Ranked #1 of 12 in Large Party Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Sony ULT Tower Max: $1,498.00 Amazon eBay
Pros: AudioTribe measured 110.6dBC at roughly 6m outdoors with Flat EQ and ULT1 enabled, 4.4dB above the JBL PartyBox Ultimate in the same setup. Its three 11-inch woofers held about 110dB from 40-100Hz; Sony also provides 10-band EQ, Sound Field Optimization, RCA and XLR inputs, USB-C, a mic input, and XLR output.
Cons: The same comparison found it 1.2dB behind the JBL in A-weighted loudness and weaker below 40Hz. At 56.3kg (124lb) and AC-only, this is a wheeled event speaker rather than a portable battery model.

Ranked #12 of 12 in Large Party Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Marshall Bromley 750: $999.95 Amazon eBay
Pros: Much wider, more consistent off-axis dispersion than the JBL Partybox 720, which only fires forward: the Marshall’s standout feature, sounding about the same from any angle.
Cons: Not as deep bass as the JBL Partybox 330 or JBL Partybox 720. Not a great frequency response overall, with some midrange peaks. Only basic bass/treble controls, no full custom EQ like the JBL Partybox 720’s app. Default bass (dynamic mode) is overdone out of the box and needs trimming.
