Having the best portable speaker to take with you on holiday, or to the beach is essential these days.
Mobile phones are an infinite library of music these days thanks to streaming platforms like Apple Music and Spotify. Yet don't really offer decent audio quality.
Bluetooth speakers fill that void nicely.
The biggest challenge is finding the right product. You can pick up a tiny, tinny speaker for under $10 from Amazon, but it is unlikely to give you any level of satisfaction.
You could also spend thousands on a top of the line speaker that offers Bluetooth functionality but sacrifices some of the implied portability for sound quality.
I've tested a range of Bluetooth speakers here at BTTR over the past few years. These are my favourites.
These are the best Bluetooth speakers I've tested:
Best for sound: Sonos Move 2
Sonos's first attempt at a portable speaker was something of an experiment for the company. The original Move was light on battery life, but wasn't overly portable given its hefty weight.
The Move 2 strikes a much better balance between portability, connectivity and sound quality. It sounds exceptional for a portable speaker, offering a tonne of bass and mid-range audio quality.
With the addition of Sonos' Truplay, the speaker automatically balances itself to offer the perfect sound for the environment it's in.
Battery life stretches to 24 hours, controls are a bit easier and the inclusion of Alexa and Sonos' own voice controls makes it easy to use.
Plus, it can integrate into your home Sonos speaker system effortlessly, giving you an even more complete audio experience.
