Small Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers

Ranked #22 of 59 in Small Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - JBL Clip 5: $59.95 Amazon B&H Photo Video eBay

Older models: the JBL Clip 4 (ranked lower, rated 3.4/5), the JBL Clip 3 (ranked lower, rated 2.7/5), the JBL Clip 2 (ranked lower, rated 2.7/5) and the JBL Clip (ranked lower, rated 2.7/5). See every JBL Clip generation.

Pros: JBL Portable app adds custom EQ. Wider carabiner and thicker back padding than the JBL 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 JBL Clip 4.

Ranked #30 of 59 in Small Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - JBL Go 4: $49.95 Amazon eBay

Newer model: the JBL Go 5, ranked higher, rated 3.2/5, released Mar 2026. It adds USB audio input, AAC and LC3, but drops the built-in mic. Water resistance goes from IP67 to IP68.

Older model: the JBL Go 3 (ranked lower, rated 3.2/5). See every JBL Go generation.

Pros: A little more bass than the JBL 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.

Medium Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers

Ranked #12 of 167 in Medium Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - JBL Charge 6: $149.95 Amazon B&H Photo Video eBay

Older models: the JBL Charge 5 (ranked lower, rated 4/5), the JBL Charge 4 (ranked lower, rated 3.5/5), the JBL Charge 3 (ranked lower, rated 3.2/5) and the JBL Charge 2 (ranked lower, rated 3.2/5). See every JBL Charge generation.

Pros: Seems more neutral than the JBL Charge 5. Flatter frequency response through the mids and treble as the JBL Charge 5 was quite rolled off up high. Use this EQ from Joy/Oluv and turn down the lowest bass slider for the best sound quality. Oluv has even more paid EQs specifically for the GG and TL models indoors and outdoors here. IP68 protection, a 7-band app EQ, Auracast, USB-C charging and a power bank output. Measured bass extension of 53Hz (-10dB).

Cons: Still some boosted bass by default. Mids are recessed. Bright above 2kHz. Quite a V shaped frequency response.

Older models: the JBL Flip 6 (ranked higher, rated 4.2/5), the JBL Flip 5 (ranked lower, rated 3.3/5) and the JBL Flip 4 (ranked lower, rated 3.3/5). See every JBL Flip generation.

Pros: A very neutral speaker, very small, almost pocket size. Just slightly more treble than the JBL Flip 6 which was already a great speaker. Slightly deeper bass than the JBL Flip 6. IP68 protection, a 7-band app EQ, Auracast and a USB-C digital audio input. Measured bass extension of 59Hz (-10dB).

Cons: A little bit of a bump at 4kHz, not quite as neutral as the JBL Flip 6. On balance it is the slightly worse of the two.

Ranked #48 of 167 in Medium Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - JBL Pulse 5: $219.99 Amazon eBay

Newer model: the JBL Pulse 6, ranked lower, estimated 3.7/5, released 2026. It adds USB audio input, AAC and LC3. Water resistance goes from IP67 to IP68. See every JBL Pulse generation.

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 #97 of 167 in Medium Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - JBL Grip: $99.95 Amazon B&H Photo Video eBay

Pros: Ambient light on the back with settable themes. Measured bass extension of ~68Hz (-10dB).

Cons: Lacking deeper bass, definitely the worst of the JBL line until you get to the smaller clip. Not as much clarity as higher ranked speakers, rolled off highs and wavy midrange

Setup: EQ from Oluv in his post can help it a bit but still isn’t very neutral

Large Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers

Ranked #22 of 103 in Large Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Teufel Rockster Cross 2: €249.99 Teufel eBay

Older model: the Teufel Rockster Cross (ranked lower, rated 4.2/5). See every Teufel Rockster Cross generation.

Pros: Keeps the original Teufel Rockster Cross’s sound, which was fairly neutral and vocal focused with punchy, well controlled bass, and the new Teufel Go app EQ gets noticeably more bass punch out of it than the original could manage. Claimed battery life more than doubles to 38 hours, or 46 in Eco Mode. USB-C charging with a power bank output and a built-in USB-C sound card, a 3.5mm aux input, multipoint pairing, AAC, and Party Link for a true stereo pair or up to 100 current Teufel speakers.

Cons: It uses the same drivers and amplifier as the 2018 original, so without EQ the two sound almost identical, even at maximum volume, and it measured about the same 101dB. In a direct comparison it struggles somewhat against the Soundcore Boom 2. aptX was dropped, water protection is still only IPX5 (water jets, not submersion), Party Link does not work with the original Cross, and the app’s bass and treble controls are limited. It is not sold in the US.

Ranked #44 of 103 in Large Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - JBL Xtreme 4: $309.95 Amazon B&H Photo Video eBay

Newer model: the JBL Xtreme 5, ranked higher, rated 4.6/5, released Apr 2026. It adds USB audio input, AAC and LC3, but drops the built-in mic. Water resistance goes from IP67 to IP68.

Older models: the JBL Xtreme 3 (ranked higher, rated 4.3/5), 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: 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.

Boombox Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers

Ranked #1 of 91 in Boombox Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - EarFun Uboom X: $159.99 Discontinued eBay

Pros: Tuned by Oluv and he knocked it out of the park again. Deeper bass than the Tribit 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. Measured bass extension of ~38Hz (-10dB).

Cons: The out of the box 0.33 firmware and EQ sounds horrible. Some users have reported sound interruption issues when running two in TWS, though not on every source device, and disabling AAC resolves it where it occurs. Discontinued.

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. Oluv has a newer firmware pack that brings it up a few more notches of neutral

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

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

Same family: the JBL Partybox Encore Essential 2 (larger model, 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 #20 of 91 in Boombox Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - JBL Boombox 4: $549.95 Amazon B&H Photo Video eBay

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 JBL 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 JBL Boombox 3. No Aux input.

Party Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers

Ranked #2 of 46 in Party Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - JBL Partybox 330: $629.95 Amazon B&H Photo Video eBay

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). See every JBL PartyBox generation.

Same family: the JBL Partybox 130 (smaller model, ranked lower, rated 4.4/5) and the JBL Partybox 720 (larger model, rated 4.7/5).

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.

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 #6 of 46 in Party Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - JBL Partybox Club 120: $349.95 Amazon eBay

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

Same family: the JBL Partybox Stage 320 (larger model, ranked higher, rated 4.6/5) and the JBL Partybox Ultimate (larger model, 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 JBL 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.

Ranked #7 of 46 in Party Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - JBL Partybox 130: $449.95 Amazon eBay

Same family: the JBL Partybox 330 (larger model, ranked higher, rated 4.6/5) and the JBL Partybox 720 (larger model, rated 4.7/5). See every JBL PartyBox generation.

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 46 in Party Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Marshall Bromley 450: $599.99 Amazon B&H Photo Video eBay

Same family: the Marshall Bromley 150 (smaller model, estimated 3.8/5) and the Marshall Bromley 750 (larger model, rated 3.6/5).

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 Marshall 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 #27 of 46 in Party Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Soundboks Rider: $599.00 Amazon eBay

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 Soundboks 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 #30 of 46 in Party Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Soundboks Mix: $799 Soundboks Amazon eBay

Older model: the Soundboks Go (ranked lower, rated 3.1/5). See every Soundboks Go and Mix generation.

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.

Large Party Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers

Ranked #3 of 13 in Large Party Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - JBL Partybox Ultimate: $1,499.95 Amazon B&H Photo Video eBay

Newer model: the JBL Partybox Ultimate 2, ranked higher, estimated 4.8/5, released Oct 2026. See every JBL PartyBox generation.

Same family: the JBL Partybox Club 120 (smaller model, rated 4.5/5) and the JBL Partybox Stage 320 (smaller model, rated 4.6/5).

Pros: A true large-venue party speaker: its 1,100W system, dual 9-inch woofers and six-driver array produce exceptionally deep, authoritative bass and very high clean output. Independent reviews praise its unusually clear, articulate sound at extreme levels. Wi-Fi streaming, app EQ, inputs for two mics/guitar, USB playback, Auracast, a polished light show and wheels make it unusually complete for karaoke and DJ-style use.

Cons: At 39kg and more than a metre tall, this is not casually portable despite the wheels. It needs AC power, has no battery and only IPX4 splash resistance. Reviews also note that its bass-heavy presentation can obscure fine detail and overwhelm a small room; its size and cost only make sense for very large spaces or frequent events. JBL’s wired daisy chain only works with other JBL speakers.

Ranked #5 of 13 in Large Party Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Teufel Rockster 2: $1,269.94 eBay

Older model: the Teufel Rockster (ranked lower, rated 4.4/5). See every Teufel Rockster generation.

Pros: Sounds better and more evenly tuned than the JBL Partybox 720. Horn-loaded tweeter gives far more consistent off-axis sound, unlike the JBL Partybox 720’s dual tweeters, which suffer from comb-filtering interference. Gets louder without distorting: the JBL Partybox 720 starts breaking up at high volume well before this does. Projects clearly over long outdoor distances, covering a large area evenly.

Cons: Not quite as deep bass as the JBL Partybox 720. Bass output drops off further at high volume.

Ranked #6 of 13 in Large Party Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - JBL Partybox 720: $1,099.95 Amazon B&H Photo Video eBay

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

Same family: the JBL Partybox 130 (smaller model, rated 4.4/5) and the JBL Partybox 330 (smaller model, rated 4.6/5).

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

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.

Pros: Tied for the loudest battery powered speaker. Removable 40 hour battery. High efficiency drivers reach 2-3x the volume of typical speakers for the same wattage. Measured bass extension of 52Hz (-10dB).

Cons: Very large. Not as neutral or as deep of bass as the above Partyboxes. Not stereo. External power brick for charging.
