The 10 Best Compact Bluetooth Speaker of April 2023 | Why Pink Floyd

Top Picks

• Best Overall: Soundcore 3 by Anker, Bluetooth Speaker 

The Anker Soundcore 3 is the finest budget Bluetooth speaker on the market, in our opinion. Enjoy high-quality audio for music, podcasts, and audiobooks without breaking the bank. This rectangular speaker is great for mobility since it can be used independently of an electrical outlet, allowing you to listen to music regardless of where you happen to be.

• Best For Home: JBL Clip 4  

When it comes to portable Bluetooth speakers, the JBL Clip 4 outshines the Anker Soundcore 3 in both price and portability. The large buttons and integrated carabiner hook make it easy to set the volume and clip it to your luggage. It is similarly well-made to the Anker, earning an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance to attest to its ability to withstand being submerged in water up to 1 meter deep for 30 minutes with no damage. This opens up the possibility of singing along with your music while taking a rainy or steamy shower.

• Best Portable Speaker: DOSS SoundBox Plus Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker 

If you want to play music at very loud levels, the DOSS SoundBox Plus is a fantastic choice. The volume from this speaker can fill even the largest of arenas without breaking the budget. Bring it out to the garden for your next party and crank up the volume without fear of sound distortion. The RGB lights surrounding its drivers may be changed to suit your party's aesthetic needs, adding an extra layer of personalization.

• Best Smart Speaker: Echo Dot (4th Gen, 2020 release)  

The Amazon Echo Dot Gen 4 is a more budget-friendly alternative to the Amazon Echo Gen 4, yet it offers comparable capabilities as a voice assistant. The built-in Alexa technology allows the speaker to be operated only by voice; this can be done with remarkable precision, even in a noisy setting or at a longer distance. Just use the mute button if you don't want your voice to be recorded. It is also attractive enough to be used at home.

• Best For Outdoor Parties: Soundcore Flare Mini Bluetooth Speaker 

The Flare Mini has two 5W neodymium speakers set back to back so that the sound can be heard from all directions. Even if the host gets caught in the rain or goes for a 30-minute swim, the party may go on, provided the speaker has an IPX7 rating. Connecting two Flare Mini speakers doubles its playtime to 12 hours on a single charge. It's Bluetooth 4.2 compatible and has a range of up to 20 meters.
