Every Portable Speaker With a Removable Battery

Last updated: October 6, 2026

22 portable speakers in our rankings have a removable battery, so a degraded cell can be swapped instead of retiring the whole speaker. That matters most for an older or discontinued speaker, where a tired battery is otherwise the thing that ends its useful life. For a single top recommendation per size instead of the full list, see the best speakers with a removable battery.

This is every match, grouped by size and sorted by measured sound quality.

Large Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers

Ranked #2 of 102 in Large Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - JBL Xtreme 5: $399.95 Amazon B&H Photo Video eBay

JBL Xtreme 5 ranking card

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).

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 Xtreme 4.

Setup: Try this Oluv EQ for the most neutral sound

Ranked #44 of 102 in Large Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - JBL Xtreme 4: $309.95 Amazon B&H Photo Video eBay

JBL Xtreme 4 ranking card

Newer model: the JBL Xtreme 5, ranked higher, rated 4.6/5.

Pros: A rugged 2.1kg portable with IP67 protection, a replaceable battery, USB-C power-bank output, Auracast, stereo pairing and a useful 5-band app EQ. Independent reviews find the midrange detailed and the sound clear, punchy and refined for outdoor use; it also reaches a strong 106dB maximum level and has excellent real-world battery life.

Cons: It cannot produce the deep rumble of a larger speaker, and bass compression increases near maximum volume. The front-facing layout has only modest off-axis consistency, Bluetooth latency is high for video, and the default balance benefits from EQ adjustment. There is no aux input, so wired sources are not supported. Out of the box it leans bass-boosted, with a dip between the upper bass and midrange that EQ cannot fix, and it pushes the upper mids and treble at high volume. It is also expensive.

Ranked #47 of 102 in Large Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Marshall Bromley 150: $499.99 each Estimated Marshall eBay

Marshall Bromley 150 ranking card

Pros: The smallest and lightest Bromley at 6.3kg, with a carry handle, a 6.5-inch woofer, two 2-inch full-range drivers and a passive radiator driven by 200W of amplification, rated at 97dB. A removable LiFePO4 battery is rated for 40+ hours, recharges in about 3 hours and can be swapped for a spare. Two XLR/6.35mm combo inputs each have their own volume and effects controls for microphones or instruments, and it adds IP55 dust and water resistance, Auracast, Bluetooth 5.3 with AAC and LC3, a USB-C power bank output and built-in stage lighting.

Cons: Newly announced and not yet reviewed, so its sound can’t be compared with ranked party speakers. Marshall rates it at 97dB, well short of its bigger Bromley siblings, and at $499.99 it costs as much as some larger party speakers with more output.

Ranked #62 of 102 in Large Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Wet Sounds WS-L: $699.99 Estimated Amazon eBay

Wet Sounds WS-L ranking card

Pros: A marine-grade party speaker with a 10” woofer, a high-frequency compression driver and two passive radiators, rated for 126dB. IP67 dust and water protection with a salt-spray rated enclosure that can be rinsed after use on saltwater. The removable lithium-ion battery is rated for up to 40 hours at moderate volume and about 9 hours at full output. Bluetooth 5.3, SKAA wireless linking for up to four units in stereo or mono, app control of EQ and RGB lighting, and a stackable cabinet with integrated handles and a mount for elevated placement.

Cons: No independent measurements or side by side tests against other party speakers have been published, so its 126dB rating, bass extension and tonal balance are unverified. At about 11kg (25 pounds) it is a heavy carry, and SKAA linking only works with other SKAA speakers. Wet Sounds doesn’t publish a frequency response or Bluetooth codec support.

Boombox Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers

Ranked #4 of 91 in Boombox Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - JBL Partybox Encore 2: $330 Sam’s Club eBay

JBL Partybox Encore 2 ranking card

Older model: the JBL Partybox Encore (ranked lower, rated 4.3/5).

Pros: The Encore 2 improves the original with dome tweeters, a less boomy balance, slightly deeper bass, longer battery life and two included wireless microphones. Its compact karaoke-ready design and 7-band EQ make it more adaptable indoors than the earlier Encore. Measured bass extension of 42Hz (-10dB).

Cons: It still lacks some upper-bass punch and cannot match the scale of the larger PartyBoxes. The main value is compact karaoke convenience rather than full-range party output.

Ranked #5 of 91 in Boombox Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - JBL PartyBox On-The-Go 2 Plus: $349.95 Amazon eBay

JBL PartyBox On-The-Go 2 Plus ranking card

Older model: the JBL Partybox On the Go (ranked lower, rated 3/5).

Pros: Well balanced with strong vocals, and its front-firing bass ports give it cleaner, smoother bass than other PartyBoxes, so even the Punchy bass boost setting never overpowers the vocals. It gets a touch louder than the PartyBox Encore 2. EasySing AI vocal removal strips vocals from any song on the speaker itself, with 25%, 50% or 100% removal, and the included rechargeable wireless mic has a tight pickup pattern that rejects handling noise. A removable 34Wh battery shared with the Encore 2 and PartyBox 120, a claimed 15 hours, a padded shoulder strap, USB-C playback and charging, a 3.5mm aux input, Auracast and a light show.

Cons: The bass has less kick and physical impact than the Encore 2 or PartyBox Club 120, and the Club 120 gets noticeably louder. There is no wired microphone or guitar input, so more mics means buying JBL’s EasySing mics separately, and AI vocal removal is disabled while the speaker is linked to other speakers over Auracast. Real world battery life is closer to 7 hours at 80% volume with lights and bass boost on. IPX4 only covers splashes, the grille dents easily, and the battery must be installed for it to run even when plugged in.

Ranked #20 of 91 in Boombox Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - JBL Boombox 4: $549.95 Amazon B&H Photo Video eBay

JBL Boombox 4 ranking card

Older models: the JBL Boombox 3 (ranked lower, rated 3.8/5), the JBL Boombox 2 (ranked lower, rated 3.5/5) and the JBL Boombox (ranked lower, rated 2.9/5).

Pros: Pretty insane output capability for the size. IP68 protection and Auracast pairing with other current JBL speakers. Measured bass extension of 41Hz (-10dB).

Cons: Pretty overpriced for the category. Better than the Boombox 3 mostly because there are more 7 EQ bands instead of just 3 and it can be better tuned. Try Oluv’s EQ for it. Out of the box sounds worse than the Boombox 3. No Aux input.

Ranked #22 of 91 in Boombox Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Hopestar A90: $351.65 AliExpress eBay

Hopestar A90 ranking card

Pros: A huge, powerful 700W boombox with eight drivers (two 5” woofers, two 3.5” midranges and four tweeters), a removable 36,000mAh battery and a wireless microphone. In side by side tests it had better highs, clarity and soundstage than the Zealot ZE21 while still reaching deep, reviewers picked it over the JBL Boombox 4 for its bass and output, and it sounded powerful and true to the music against the JBL PartyBox Encore Essential 2. Bluetooth 5.4 with Auracast, IPX6, USB, TF and aux inputs, RGB lights and a strap attachment.

Cons: The JBL PartyBox Encore Essential 2 was the better, more refined listen in a direct comparison. The Yeahbox Sonic Boom Ultra measured roughly 3 to 5dB louder. There is no app or EQ. It is very large and heavy (13.2 kg boxed), claims only 6 to 8 hours of battery, and it is sold through AliExpress rather than US retailers.

Ranked #53 of 91 in Boombox Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Teufel Boomster NG (2017): €99 Discontinued eBay

Teufel Boomster NG (2017) ranking card

Newer model: the Teufel Boomster 4, ranked higher, rated 3.4/5.

Pros: Teufel Boomster NG (2017) uses 1x 90mm woofer + 2x 65mm midrange drivers + 2x 20mm tweeters. Its 3.4 kg, claimed 18 hours (Manufacturer specified) battery life and stereo playback make it a practical option for its intended room or portable use. The battery is removable. Measured bass extension of 47Hz (-10dB).

Cons: Bass is limited by its 47Hz specification. There is no companion app. No EQ adjustment. The bass port can make noise, and there is no water rating. Discontinued.

Ranked #2 of 44 in Party Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - JBL Partybox 330: $629.95 Amazon B&H Photo Video eBay

JBL Partybox 330 ranking card

Older models: the JBL Partybox Stage 320 (ranked lower, rated 4.6/5), the JBL Partybox 310 (ranked lower, rated 4.5/5) and the JBL Partybox 300 (ranked lower, rated 4.3/5).

Pros: A highly complete rolling party speaker: removable battery, telescoping handle and wheels, light show, Auracast, USB-C lossless and optical inputs, plus dual mic/guitar inputs. It supplies a little more power than the JBL Partybox 310 and JBL Partybox Stage 320, while reviewers report better midrange clarity than the older JBL Partybox 310 and the same deep party-speaker bass.

Cons: It remains very large and heavy, and the sound improvement over the JBL Partybox Stage 320 is modest rather than transformational. JBL removed the dedicated mic gain/control knobs found on earlier models, a real drawback for frequent karaoke use. Do not upgrade from a JBL Partybox 310 or JBL Partybox Stage 320 just for the higher watt figure.

Newer model: the JBL Partybox 330, ranked higher, rated 4.6/5.

Smaller model: the JBL Partybox Club 120 (ranked lower, rated 4.5/5).

Larger model: the JBL Partybox Ultimate (rated 4.7/5).

Pros: Among the best-sounding party speakers in its size class, and it keeps more bass than the JBL Partybox 310 at high volume. Two 6.5-inch woofers and two tweeters run on 240W, with a removable battery rated for 18 hours, a 5-band app EQ, mic and guitar inputs and Auracast linking. A handle and wheels make the 16.5 kg cabinet easy to move, and the color lighting modes are customizable.

Cons: Slightly sibilant in the treble at full blast. Very large.

Ranked #5 of 44 in Party Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Sony ULT Tower 5: $448.00 Amazon eBay

Sony ULT Tower 5 ranking card

Pros: At $448, its 300W system with a 9-inch woofer delivers a notably capable party-speaker package: a removable 20-hour battery, IPX4 splash resistance, 10-band EQ and ULT1/ULT2 modes. AudioTribe’s first impressions praise its deeper bass and clearer sound than the JBL PartyBox Club 120; it also has USB-C and USB-A, RCA, balanced XLR and mic inputs for DJ and karaoke use.

Cons: It has a shorter 20-hour battery claim than the Tower 7’s 30 hours, no wheels, and only IPX4 splash resistance. Its single-woofer, two-tweeter layout lacks the Tower 7’s 360-degree rear-driver array, and the reviewer describes the sound assessment as first impressions rather than a controlled measurement comparison.

Older models: the JBL Partybox 110 (ranked lower, rated 4.4/5) and the JBL Partybox 100 (ranked lower, rated 4.4/5).

Larger models: the JBL Partybox Stage 320 (ranked higher, rated 4.6/5) and the JBL Partybox Ultimate (rated 4.7/5).

Pros: JBL Partybox Club 120 uses 2x 5.25” woofers, 2x 2.25” tweeters. Its 10.8 kg, claimed 12 hours (Manufacturer specified) battery life, IPX4 protection, aux input and limited-stereo playback make it a practical option for its intended room or portable use. Handle and wheels, customizable lighting, and quite neutral sound with deeper bass than the Partybox 100 and 110.

Cons: Its 40Hz to 20kHz (Manufacturer specified) specification points to limited deep-bass reach for the cabinet size. High price, and JBL’s wired daisy chain only works with other JBL speakers.

Pros: A relatively manageable 11.3kg PartyBox with removable battery, foldable handle, light show, USB audio and modern JBL connectivity. Independent reviews describe it as unusually balanced and powerful for its format, while owner feedback praises clear voices and deep bass.

Cons: It is still bass-forward and less clear than the PartyBox 120 in direct comparisons. The smaller battery and stripped-back controls/features make it a questionable upgrade when the 120 is similarly priced. JBL’s wired daisy chain only works with other JBL speakers.

Ranked #24 of 44 in Party Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Marshall Bromley 450: $599.99 Amazon B&H Photo Video eBay

Marshall Bromley 450 ranking card

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.

Ranked #26 of 44 in Party Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Audiocase S5: $645 Discontinued eBay

Audiocase S5 ranking card

Pros: Audiocase S5 uses 2x 5” woofers, 1” tweeter. Its 7.9 kg, claimed 30 hours (Manufacturer specified) battery life, aux input, up to 108dB and stereo playback make it a practical option for its intended room or portable use. The battery is removable.

Cons: There is no companion app. No EQ adjustment. Discontinued.

Ranked #27 of 44 in Party Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Soundboks Rider: $599.00 Amazon eBay

Soundboks Rider ranking card

Pros: At 6.5 kg it is the lightest Soundboks yet, with a carry handle, IP66 dust and water protection, and the same swappable 100Wh battery as the Mix and Soundboks 4, rated for 35 hours at mid volume and 8 hours at maximum. Xander’s measurements found its flat profile genuinely flat, with distortion around 0.2 percent at moderate volume and below 2 percent from 500 Hz to 10 kHz even at full output, and the Indoor profile reaching down to 40 Hz at moderate volume. Both Xander and M1M Tech Channel preferred its punchy, controlled kick bass to the larger Soundboks Mix, and the app adds a six-band EQ with saveable presets.

Cons: Its sealed 8in woofer runs out of real bass at high volume: Xander measured the -6 dB point rising to roughly 75 to 85 Hz at maximum, with 40 Hz some 20 dB down, and M1M heard the bass pulled back toward the upper bass above mid volume. It measured 107 dB(C) outdoors for Xander and 113.2 dB(C) for M1M, about 3 dB below the Soundboks Mix and well short of the claimed 118 dB. There is no TeamUp, so it cannot link with other Soundboks speakers, the strap and charger are sold separately, and Xander found the grille causes dispersion artifacts around 5 kHz and judged the price too high for what it delivers.

Ranked #29 of 44 in Party Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Soundboks Mix: $799 Soundboks Amazon eBay

Soundboks Mix ranking card

Older model: the Soundboks Go (ranked lower, rated 3.1/5).

Pros: USB-C fast charging (65W) for the swappable battery, up to 40 hours of battery life at mid-volume, IP65 dust/water resistance, and TeamUp linking with up to 5 other SKAA-equipped Soundboks speakers. High efficiency drivers reach 2-3x the volume of typical speakers for the same wattage.

Cons: Doesn’t have as deep of bass as higher-ranked speakers, and can sound somewhat bright in the treble. Only 72W of output and a single 10-inch woofer, less powerful than the Soundboks Go or Soundboks 4, and no microphone input for karaoke like the Pro Panel models.

Ranked #30 of 44 in Party Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Soundboks Go: $799 Discontinued eBay

Soundboks Go ranking card

Newer model: the Soundboks Mix, ranked higher, rated 3.2/5.

Pros: Exceptional 40-hour battery life at mid-volume (10 hours at full volume), swappable design (second battery $200 available). 7.8Ah Li-ion with external charging option and pass-through charging capability. 121dB max volume (Bass+ mode). Premium audio quality, durable ABS polycarbonate with rubberized bumpers. Portable enough for vehicle adventures. High efficiency drivers reach 2-3x the volume of typical speakers for the same wattage. Measured bass extension of 55Hz (-10dB).

Cons: Not as loud as the other Soundboks. Not as neutral or as much bass as the above Partyboxes. Not stereo. External power brick for charging. Discontinued; Soundboks has removed it from their lineup and the product page is gone.

Large Party Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers

Ranked #5 of 13 in Large Party Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - JBL Partybox 720: $1,099.95 Amazon B&H Photo Video eBay

JBL Partybox 720 ranking card

Older model: the JBL Partybox 710 (ranked lower, rated 4.7/5).

Pros: JBL’s most powerful battery-equipped PartyBox combines 800W output, two removable batteries, wheels, a light show, Auracast, USB-C playback, app EQ and karaoke/guitar inputs. Independent testing confirms very high output, strong bass and a flexible 5- or 7-band EQ; it can easily cover a backyard or large event.

Cons: At 31kg and 94cm tall, it is still cumbersome despite the wheels. Its front-facing vertical driver layout gives uneven sound to listeners at the sides or behind it, bass compresses at very high volume and reviewers note a faint hiss. The default is dark/bass-heavy, so use the app EQ and do not expect a neutral indoor hi-fi speaker.

Ranked #8 of 13 in Large Party Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - JBL Partybox 520: $879.95 Amazon B&H Photo Video eBay

JBL Partybox 520 ranking card

Pros: JBL’s biggest battery-powered PartyBox after the 720 combines very high output, deep chesty bass, wheels and a telescoping handle with a capable app EQ, lights, USB-C audio and mic/instrument inputs. RTINGS finds it loud enough for backyards and unusually well-equipped for a battery party speaker.

Cons: It is very large and heavy, Bluetooth latency is high for video, and its front-facing design loses much of the mids and treble to people off to the sides. The bass-heavy default can also make dialogue less clear without EQ.

Ranked #13 of 13 in Large Party Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Marshall Bromley 750: $999.99 Amazon eBay

Marshall Bromley 750 ranking card

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.
