Medium Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers

Ranked #11 of 164 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).

Pros: Seems more neutral than the Charge 5. Flatter frequency response through the mids and treble as the 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.

Ranked #25 of 164 in Medium Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Harman Kardon Luna 2: $199.95 Amazon B&H Photo Video eBay

Older model: the Harman Kardon Luna (ranked lower, rated 4/5).

Pros: Articulate, spacious midrange with precise imaging and instrument separation. Tight, well-controlled bass from the 62mm x 82mm woofer and passive radiator despite the compact body, and it stays cleaner at volume than pricier rivals like the Sonos Play. IP67 rated, and two units pair via AirTouch for true stereo sound.

Cons: Treble can sound bright and edgy, and it loses more output off-axis than some rivals. Some listeners hear mid-range rattling on certain tracks, similar to sibling JBL models. 12-hour battery life trails category leaders like the JBL Charge 6, which doubles it. Single unit is not stereo (1.1 driver layout).

Ranked #30 of 164 in Medium Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - JBL Charge 5: $139.95 Amazon B&H Photo Video eBay

Pros: Doubles as a power bank (USB-A out) for charging your phone. IP67 rated, survives a 1m dunk for 30 minutes. ~20 hour battery life. Measured bass extension of 53Hz (-10dB).

Cons: Not stereo. Warm sound. Shouty upper mids. Boosted bass. Slightly rolled off treble. Overly expensive.

Ranked #43 of 164 in Medium Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - JBL Charge Essential 3 SE: $199.95 JBL eBay

Older models: the JBL Charge Essential 2 (ranked higher, rated 3.8/5) and the JBL Charge Essential (ranked lower, rated 3.2/5).

Pros: Gets louder than the Bose SoundLink Flex 2nd Gen and digs deeper in the bass, with a separate 20mm tweeter, two passive radiators and 40W of amplification in the familiar Charge body. IP67 water and dust protection, a claimed 20 hours of battery life, a USB-C power bank output, Auracast stereo pairing and multi-speaker linking, Bluetooth 5.4 with AAC, and app EQ.

Cons: In side-by-side listening against the Charge 6, its bass is weaker and less stable and distorts on bass-heavy tracks even with the bass turned down in the app, while a narrow boost in the upper mids makes it sound less natural. Against the Bose SoundLink Flex 2nd Gen it sounds muddier and more strident, with less detail and a smaller soundstage. At full price it costs as much as the Charge 6, which is the better speaker.

Ranked #56 of 164 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: A racetrack woofer and a tweeter rated for 50W, with IPX7 waterproofing, Bluetooth 6.0, Auracast multi-speaker sync, stereo pairing, USB-C audio input, app EQ and a detachable lanyard, at 0.81 kg.

Cons: In side by side tests by Clinch Audio Bass and Mateusz Cholewa, the Xiaomi Sound Party and Soundcore Boom 3i sounded more refined and fuller, and listeners described the C3 Plus’s treble as dull. Tronsmart rates the battery at only 12 hours at half volume. It is a mono unit with no aux input.

Large Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers

Ranked #3 of 102 in Large Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Tribit Stormbox Lava: $100 Amazon AliExpress 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; use a restrained EQ rather than expecting neutral sound out of the box.

Setup: 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

Ranked #10 of 102 in Large Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Soundcore Boom 2: $99.99 Amazon B&H Photo Video eBay

Older model: the Soundcore Motion Boom (ranked lower, rated 4.5/5).

Larger model: the Soundcore Boom 2 Plus (rated 3.6/5).

Pros: Pretty deep bass for the size. Cool lights in the side passive radiators. For the best sound quality use Oluv’s EQ or Alan Ross’s EQ. With the stock tuning, this speaker would rank around #24, due to the boosted bass and rising treble. Measured bass extension of 47Hz (-10dB).

Cons: Only a single midrange driver, so you only get stereo for the tweeters. Sound processing issues with inconsistent bass notes that disappear at low levels like the Soundcore Boom and Soundcore Boost, not great for listening at low levels. Quite bass heavy with BassUp turned on, which is best left off. A little bit of a bright tuning in the treble, about +5db.

Smaller models: the Bose Soundlink Flex 2nd gen (rated 3.8/5) and the Bose Soundlink Micro (rated 3.5/5).

Pros: IP67 rated: dustproof and waterproof to 1m. Up to 20 hour battery; real-world testing found 43+ hours. Deep, rich bass with neutral tuning, app EQ. USB-C doubles as device charger. Sturdy carry handle. The aux input has lower latency (about 33ms) than most Bluetooth connections. Measured bass extension of 48Hz (-10dB).

Cons: Big peak in the upper bass, dipped midrange and lots of peaks and dips above the midrange. Bass not as deep as a Boom 2. Gets distorted above 80%. Self drains the battery about 20% a week.

Pros: Better treble and deeper bass than the Xtreme 2. More balanced sounding than the Xtreme 4. Measured bass extension of 53Hz (-10dB).

Cons: Boosted bass. Not as deep bass as better speakers. Not as balanced as better speakers.

Ranked #19 of 102 in Large Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Soundcore Motion X600: $150 Amazon B&H Photo Video eBay

Smaller models: the Soundcore Motion X500 (ranked lower, rated 4.1/5), the Soundcore Motion 300 (rated 4.5/5) and the Soundcore Motion 100 (rated 3.7/5).

Pros: Firmware 4.2.9 is a big improvement in sound quality over previous releases. Try this Oluv EQ for the best sound quality. Measured bass extension of 52Hz (-10dB).

Cons: Stock frequency response is wavy. Use spatial mode for best sound quality. Need a different EQ for each volume step. Dip in the upper bass around 120Hz. Rising frequency response, treble a little hot. Would be ranked around #20 without the Oluv EQ. Even with the Oluv EQ the bass isn’t very deep and the sound is still a little unnatural.

Ranked #20 of 102 in Large Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Loewe We. Hear Pro: $275 eBay

Pros: A true stereo speaker with two 70mm woofers, two 25mm tweeters and two passive radiators, and its stereo separation is a standout: in side by side listening it had a wider, more detailed soundstage than the JBL Xtreme 4, with a spacious presentation reminiscent of the old Denon Envaya. At low and moderate volume (up to roughly 60 to 70%) its bass reaches deep enough to shake furniture, and its warm, balanced midrange made it the preferred pick over the Harman Kardon Go + Play 3 and Bogasing S8 Pro Max for background and indoor listening. Bass and treble sliders on the speaker let you tune it without an app. Claimed 24 hours of battery, IPX6 water resistance, USB-C fast charging, a power bank output, an aux input, AAC support and multi-pairing with up to 14 speakers.

Cons: It runs out of headroom quickly: above about 70% volume the bass drops away, the treble gets harsher, and near maximum there is heavy compression and clipping, so the JBL Xtreme 4, Harman Kardon Go + Play 3 and Bogasing S8 Pro Max all sound fuller and cleaner when played loud. At very low volume it benefits from a treble boost. At 2.2kg it is heavy for its size.

Ranked #24 of 102 in Large Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Bogasing S8 Pro Max: $123.49 Amazon eBay

Older model: the Bogasing S8 Pro (ranked lower, rated 2.7/5).

Pros: A true three way stereo design in an aluminium body: a 70mm woofer, two 52mm midrange drivers and two 31mm silk tweeters angled outward, backed by two 80mm passive radiators. Its 3D mode throws a noticeably wider soundstage than mono rivals like the Bose SoundLink Plus and JBL Charge 5, and in side by side listening it came across as fuller, punchier and more detailed than both the Charge 5 and the Soundcore Motion X600. Unlike many portables it stays clean at full volume without audible compression or distortion, where the Bose SoundLink Max, Marshall Middleton and Loewe We Hear Pro all strained. Vocal mode is the most neutral preset. Plays FLAC and other lossless files from USB drives and microSD cards, has an aux input and a built-in mic, and two units pair for stereo.

Cons: Its tuning is bright: the 3D mode pushes the mids and treble hard, can sound sharp or tiring at higher volumes, and sometimes adds an echo effect to vocals. Bass is punchy but not especially deep, and the Tribit StormBox Lava, Harman Kardon Go + Play 3 and Loewe We Hear Pro all deliver warmer, fuller low end at moderate volume; the Sony ULT Field 5 also sounded richer at moderate levels. Bass mode is its quietest preset rather than its fullest. There is no app or adjustable EQ, only three fixed sound modes.

Pros: Very deep bass for the size/weight. Measured bass extension of 38Hz (-10dB).

Cons: Bass boosted which drowns out the midrange. Dip around 200Hz, peak at 1kHz, dipped at 1.6kHz. Strange frequency response through the mids.

Pros: Unique spherical design. Up to 30 hours battery at 50% volume. IP67 + MIL-STD-810H military certification for impact/vibration/temperature. Multipoint pairing stays connected to two devices. LED lights add flair. Measured bass extension of 54Hz (-10dB).

Cons: Bass extension not as deep as the top speakers. Overpriced. This may move around in the rankings as we get better sound samples

Cons: 5db dip at 1.7kHz and 6.3kHz. 9kHz treble peak. Not a very smooth frequency response. A lot of Marshall’s added dsp echo which cannot be turned off, very distracting and annoying. It’s like forcing you to listen to your music in an echo chamber. Bass is reasonably deep but artificial sounding and flabby, with no attack and no dynamics. Treble is rolled off.

Ranked #42 of 102 in Large Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Marshall Kilburn III: $379.99 Amazon eBay

Older model: the Marshall Kilburn II (ranked lower, rated 3.8/5).

Pros: Spacious soundstage with broad stereo dispersion from Marshall’s True Stereophonic multi-driver layout, delivering warm, room-filling sound with 45Hz bass extension. Independent physical bass and treble dials allow quick tonal adjustments on the fly, backed by app-based EQ and placement compensation. Battery life is outstanding at up to 50+ hours with USB-C power-bank charging, IP54 splash resistance, 3.5mm aux input, and Bluetooth 5.3 with Auracast broadcast support. Measured bass extension of 45Hz (-10dB).

Cons: Noticeable dips in the midrange compromise frequency response neutrality, making vocals and acoustic instruments sound somewhat recessed or muffled compared to more linear competitors like the JBL Xtreme 4 unless the bass dial is dialed back. Kilburn II retains slightly punchier perceived loudness at maximum volume due to a more aggressive V-shaped contour. At 2.85 kg with only IP54 splash resistance, it is heavy and cannot withstand water immersion. Lacks a built-in microphone and LDAC codec support.

Pros: 20W Class D amp + dual 8W tweeters. 20+ hour battery with quick-charge (20 min charges 3 hours of play). Rugged design with leather handle and reinforced corners, IPX2 rated. Thrives with rock music. Bluetooth 5.0 with 30ft range. Measured bass extension of ~58Hz (-10dB).

Cons: Boosted upper bass, not very detailed, not as deep bass as competitors, upper mids peak. Very low IPX2 water rating. AC charging

Ranked #44 of 102 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.

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 #55 of 102 in Large Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Sony ULT Field 5: $348.00 Amazon eBay

Older models: the Sony SRS-XB43 (ranked lower, rated 3.5/5) and the Sony SRS-XG300 (ranked lower, rated 3.1/5).

Pros: A tough 3.3kg portable with IP67 protection, LDAC/AAC support, aux input, a 10-band app EQ, Party Connect, USB-C power-bank output and a claimed 25-hour battery. Reviews find it energetic and dynamic with substantial bass, enough volume for a yard, and two ULT modes that let bass-focused listeners choose a deeper or punchier presentation.

Cons: It prioritizes bass and loudness over fidelity: reviews find the upper mids and highs subdued, with limited stereo separation and soundstage depth. Deep bass is less authoritative than the enclosure suggests, and the loud confirmation tone when pressing the ULT button is an unnecessary annoyance. Use the app EQ and audition it before buying for detail-focused music.

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 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 #2 of 91 in Boombox Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Tribit Stormbox Blast: $199.99 Amazon eBay

Newer model: the Tribit Stormbox Blast 2, ranked lower, rated 3.8/5.

Smaller models: the Tribit Stormbox Pro (rated 3.7/5), the Tribit Stormbox Flow (rated 3.5/5) and the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 (rated 4.5/5).

Pros: Amazing speaker given its size, competes well with some speakers in the Party size class, bass almost as deep as a 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.

Ranked #3 of 91 in Boombox Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Harman Kardon Go + Play 3: $385 Amazon eBay

Older model: the Harman Kardon Go + Play 2 (ranked lower, rated 3.9/5).

Pros: Warm sound with boosted bass. Deepest bass out of any speaker in this size. Sound is more natural than the Go + Play2. An aux input, a built-in microphone, a power bank function, stereo pairing and hidden button combinations for adjusting bass and treble. Measured bass extension of 35Hz (-10dB).

Cons: Just a little over half as loud as the higher rated boomboxes. Only 8 hours of battery at medium volume. No water rating.

Setup: Use the hidden EQ modes to adjust the bass up when outside and down when inside. To adjust bass, quickly press the bluetooth and volume down buttons together, the number of light flashes tell you what mode you’re in. To adjust treble, quickly press the volume up and phone buttons at the same time, the number of yellow flashes on the light tell you what mode you are in.

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).

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 #30 of 91 in Boombox Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - W-King X20S: $150.99 AliExpress W-King eBay

Pros: Clearer and smoother than the larger W-King X20 at about half its size and weight, and in side by side tests it held its own against the Harman Kardon Go + Play 3, with nicer, more exposed mids and more volume. 140W RMS (180W peak), IPX7, Bluetooth 5.4, a built-in microphone, TF card, USB and aux playback, FM radio, a carry handle and a shoulder strap.

Cons: Less bass and depth than the X20 and about 3dB quieter, and at maximum volume its mids and highs start to drown out the bass. With a flat EQ the bass is cut off, so it needs the bass boost. The JBL PartyBox Encore Essential 2 sounded better in a direct comparison. Sold direct from W-King in the US.

Pros: Pretty deep bass. Measured bass extension of 40Hz (-10dB).

Cons: Sounds quite muddy with the boosted lower and upper bass. Boosted treble around 6kHz. Xbass mode makes it sound even more muddy. Nowhere near as neutral and balanced as the first Blast and a big downgrade unless you only care about max volume

Setup: Try the EQ from Alan Ross at this timestamp of his video

Ranked #45 of 91 in Boombox Size Portable Bluetooth Speakers - Teufel Boomster 4: €249.99 Teufel eBay

Older models: the Teufel Boomster 2021 (ranked lower, rated 3.4/5) and the Teufel Boomster NG (2017) (ranked lower, rated 3.2/5).

Pros: Warmer and more open than the Boomster 2021 it replaces, with nicer, less harsh highs, a wide stereo image from its three-way layout (two 20mm tweeters, two 65mm midrange drivers and a 110mm woofer with passive radiators) and good detail. Its new treble control and remote let you tame the top end. DAB+ and FM radio, a claimed 23 hours of battery at medium volume, IPX5, Bluetooth 5.0 with AAC and aptX HD, multipoint, an aux input, USB-C charging and stereo pairing.

Cons: Side by side with the Boomster 2021 the sound barely changed, and it has a little less deep bass. Against the Harman Kardon Go + Play 3 it sounds sharper and thinner, with weaker bass and a less natural stereo image, and its bass drops off at full volume. At 3.75 kg it is heavy for its size, it has no power bank output, and IPX5 is a step down from the older model’s IPX7.
