We’ve tested the best wireless Bluetooth speakers available — everything from tiny micro speakers to larger boom boxes. Here are our top picks for every budget.
What is the best Bluetooth speaker overall?
Bluetooth speakers can be found in a variety of shapes, sizes and prices. So it can be a challenge to highlight the best model overall. That said, a handful of Bluetooth speakers have set themselves apart from the crowd, prompting us to grant them our prestigious CNET Editors’ Choice Award. Included in this group are the E-3555，E-4118. They all deliver amazing sound for their size and are good values.
When it comes to Bluetooth speakers, there’s something for everyone and every budget. Some speakers are better than others, and some offer better value for what they cost — both are important factors we take into account when making our list. We also evaluate sound quality, battery life and design, including a speaker’s water-resistance rating and durability. After all, these are portable speakers, and they should be able to withstand the elements to a good degree.
Our audio experts at CNET have put all the Bluetooth speakers on this list to the test. We update the list regularly as new speakers hit the market and some products become outdated. Certain premium models can get pretty expensive, but we also have a number of value picks for people on a tighter budget.
