TOP 15 best portable bluetooth speakers

We have compiled a rating of the best bluetooth speakers in 2020 based on reviews from real buyers and according to our personal observations. The rating was helped by Alexey Pazhidaev, manager of the department of the car music store. In the TOP, each column is good in its own way, some of the cheapest, some of the best in terms of price / quality.

Column selection criteria

Power. The column power is directly converted into several parameters:

• Sound volume;
• Waste of charge;
• The availability of surround and bass sounds.

The power of modern speakers can start from 10-20 watts (cheap copies, like the JBL Charge 3) and go up to 120 watts (for example, the Sony GTK-PG10), but these cost and weigh more. For a room, 5 W is already good. For nature and gatherings in gazebos with a company, it is better to look after a column from 20 watts. These were the minimum figures. And so, the more the better.

Versatility.A high-quality speaker should not only sound good, but also be able to connect to devices by different means:

• Via microSD;
• With USD and AUX;
• Via USB and Bluetooth.

A distinctive quality of a good speaker is the ability to connect several devices to it at the same time.

Battery durability.Battery capacity is measured in Amperes per hour (A * h), but their number will not tell the consumer anything. The battery must be able to withstand at least 2 hours of continuous operation.

Nowadays, many of the Bluetooth speakers are also equipped with voice assistants such as Alice or Alexa... Through such speakers, you can control the "smart home" system, as well as control the device from a distance using voice commands.
