Every music lover understands how great it is to have a device at hand for high-quality reproduction of your favorite music. And electronics manufacturers understand this, which is why they are releasing more and more Bluetooth speakers. Some of them can fit into a jacket pocket, while some are only suitable for installation on a hard, flat surface. There are significant differences in the quality of track playback. In any case, you won't get confused - we have prepared a rating of portable speakers.

8.4 Evaluation

Compact dimensions
Possibility to place both horizontally and vertically
Splash water protection
Long battery life

Noticeable vibrations when volume increases

The rating opens with a compact cylinder from Sony. The 2017 model has a pretty good shape, thanks to which the speaker can be placed on a table, laid horizontally, or hung on a hook. In addition, the dimensions of the case are more than modest, so constantly carrying the gadget in your hands will not be annoying.

The manufacturer can give a solid “A” for well-thought-out ergonomics: not much, but they took care of user convenience.

All the necessary buttons are at hand, and besides, there are many indicators that notify you about the status of the device.

The SRS-XB10 is easy to connect to any smartphone or tablet: in addition to the standard and familiar Bluetooth technology, there is a modern NFC chip. So connecting and starting to play songs is a matter of a few seconds.

Modest dimensions hide immodest possibilities. The speaker perfectly reproduces any musical genre, with the main emphasis on bass. Here they are quite rich. There is also a large volume reserve, although in an ordinary living room the maximum volume is unlikely to be needed. And this is good, because listening to music at medium volume gives no less than 16 hours of battery life! You can enjoy your favorite tracks all day long and just plug the speaker into a power outlet at night.

7.3 Evaluation

Convenient carrying strap
Reliable materials
Waterproof against splashing water
Large volume range
Long work without recharging

Extraneous noise and whistling during playback
Inability to remove the belt without damaging it

The model from Tesler deservedly gets its place in the list of the most powerful portable speakers. This gadget has an ideal shape: the rectangular speaker is easy to install on a table or floor, and can also be carried in your hands. Moreover, there is a leather strap for hand carrying.

Two speakers and two passive resonators provide good sound for both low and high frequencies - the output power is 8.5 W.

The best part is that you can enjoy your favorite tracks all day long. The built-in lithium-polymer battery has a record capacity (for this type of electronics) - 2000 mAh. In practice, this makes it possible to use the PSS-880 for up to 15 hours and not even remember about the outlet.

The model has one more undeniable advantage - the price! The starting price of the speaker did not exceed 3,000 rubles, which makes the model the most budget in our TOP.

To please music lovers with such an inexpensive boombox, the manufacturer had to abandon some fashionable options: the interface turned out to be quite modest, there is only Bluetooth and a 3.5 mm mini-Jack connector.

7.3 Evaluation

Durable aluminum housing
Stylish design in several colors
Availability of a slot for microSD
Excellent low bass
Long battery life

No charging cable included
Instructions and alerts are in Chinese only
Unfinished recording function
Vibration and instability when reproducing low frequencies

The Chinese brand Xiaomi regularly offers many new products of various types of technology. And portable speakers are no exception. Our list of the best stereo and mono devices includes the Mi Bluetooth Speaker model.

There are no complaints about the design and assembly of this gadget: all the parts fit perfectly and even an attentive user will not find a single gap. Reliable plastic is used in the manufacture of the case.

Even a recognized aesthete will like the design - the compact speaker is reminiscent of a school pencil case in shape and size. Only, unlike the children's accessory, Xiaomi is decorated with stylish perforations.

Great job on appearance, the manufacturers did not forget about the filling. Inside there are two speakers capable of reproducing high-quality sound in the range from 85 to 20,000 Hz. This means that the high frequencies will be quite detailed, and the bass will be soft.

Xiaomi is famous for its ability remote control gadgets and Mi Bluetooth Speaker was no exception.

A proprietary application is provided for owners of the accessory.

There you can switch tracks, the volume, and the equalizer settings are easy to figure out. Well, for those who prefer classic push-button controls, the engineers left the side keys and indicators.

7.6 Evaluation

Improved design and many colors
Dimensions and weight – the smallest
Ease of use
Reliable protection against splashes and rain
Not bad sound in this class
Low price for everyone

Autonomy is very low
Tight connector access cover

What should you pay attention to when you want to save money and listen to high-quality background music? Of course, Go 2 from JBL is one of the best wireless speakers for home or outdoor gatherings.

This gadget is exactly what most people mean when they call it pocket-sized. The case dimensions are only 71.2x86x31.6 mm. You can put it in your pocket, on the back of the sofa, or on the side of the pool - Go 2 will be convenient everywhere. Moreover, the manufacturer has equipped the case with water protection according to the IPX7 standard: the device can lie next to a body of water, but it is better not to put it in the water.

The device is clearly designed for young people: a wide selection of colors (most of the shades are bright and colorful), an excellent volume reserve. The two 40mm drivers are designed to cover the entire frequency spectrum, but in practice the highs and mids sound best.

Among the functions of this model, it is worth noting the ability to answer calls received on a synchronized smartphone.

The compact gadget has a noise-canceling microphone, so voice recording is in no way inferior to a telephone voice recorder.

This little guy works for only 5 hours without recharging - this time is quite enough for a party away from an outlet, but within an apartment or house you can connect it to the mains. The playback quality will not be affected in any way while charging the battery.

8.5 Evaluation

Compact dimensions
Large selection of colors
Increased frequency range
Capacious battery

Lacks detail at high and mid frequencies

JBL Flip 4 is not far behind its colleague and took sixth place in the ranking of portable speakers. Stylish gadget also received a large selection of colors: users have at their disposal not just a standard assortment, but also periodic limited collections with patterned fabric covering the body.

A boombox with a bright design is created for the same bright and cheerful music lovers: the model seems to be created for parties.

Firstly, it is easy to take with you and can be placed anywhere - a neat thin strap allows you to even hang the gadget on a tree branch or any hook.
Secondly, the emphasis on bass makes it possible to listen to dance tracks, electro or house music.

However, high frequencies are not drowned out, so the manufacturer managed to find an approach to lyrical compositions.

The proprietary application has been improved especially for users. As before, it allows you to completely control the operation of the gadget - switch the song, change the volume. But now two Flip 4 boomboxes can be combined into a single stereo system for better sound. While the speakers are combined, the user can even receive a call - there is a microphone here.

In this mode, at maximum volume, the device operates for up to 10 hours. And for charging, not only an electrical outlet is suitable, but also a modern POWERBANK.

8.6 Evaluation

Availability of LED backlight
Almost a day of work without recharging
Connectivity via NFC

Quite a lot of weight
Weak microphone

This stylish and powerful model from Sony combines several new technologies and cool features, which is why it made it into this TOP. And it’s not surprising, because it was the XB41 model that became the flagship in the updated 2019 line.

The sound quality is still at a fairly high level. The range of supported frequencies has been increased - now the minimum is 20 Hz. And this affected music playback.

The bass literally “pumps” - even the speaker vibrates slightly.

Unfortunately, they also overlap the mid and especially high frequencies.

Well, we have to admit that the holder of fifth place in the ranking is unlikely to brighten up his working hours with light lounge music, but he will fit perfectly into the party atmosphere. This is also facilitated by the built-in lighting. The speakers are decorated with LEDs that can simply light up, or they can “blink” to the beat of the music or respond to touches on the body.

What about battery life? The built-in battery allows the gadget to work up to 20 hours - and this is more than enough for even the longest party. If you use a Bluetooth connection to a smartphone or tablet, use the device’s backlight and turn the volume up to maximum, the battery charge will last for 10 hours.

8.6 Evaluation

Excellent autonomy
IPX 7 waterproof rating
Availability of built-in microphone
Grippy textile surface
Ability to charge other devices in power bank mode

Mediocre sound when connected via Bluetooth
Possible involuntary activation
The plug on the underside of the case is too hard

What is JBL Charge 3? It's still the same stylish and thoughtful design, but with improved performance and a couple of new technologies. The new product has a convenient barrel-shaped body. Plastic and silicone were used - the materials are already reliable, and together with water protection of the IPX7 standard, they are practically indestructible. The dimensions are perfect for carrying in your hand, bag or deep pocket.

The main changes are concentrated inside: two wide-range speakers along with two passive radiators with a power of 10 W allow you to listen to music of any genre - from the heaviest rock and roll to gentle romantic compositions. Moreover, the frequency range is quite wide - from 65 Hz to the classic 20,000 Hz.

Thanks to these technical characteristics, the sound that Charge 3 offers has become smoother and more balanced.

Good sound allows you to listen to music from several speakers at once, like in an advanced stereo system. There is an app called JBL Connect+ for this purpose. By the way, unlike other JBL gadgets, which are located in lower positions in the ranking, this hero supports integration into unified system both new and old models.

It seems that with such good capabilities one should not expect long-term autonomy. But the developers managed to surprise their fans here too.

Inside there is lithium ion battery at 6000 mAh. So the user can safely count on 15-20 hours of listening to music at high volume.

7.7 Evaluation

Reliable housing materials
Good battery life
Nonlinear volume switching
"Clear sound

No memory card slot
No water protection

You are unlikely to want to take this model to the beach or to a street party - the Loftsound GZ-44 looks too expensive and presentable. The body is made of a combination of metal and genuine leather.

Ergonomics - above all praise! For user convenience, the manufacturer has equipped the speaker with a strap, which can be easily removed if necessary. Convenient buttons make it easy to control the operation of the device.

Interestingly, the speakers have a classic diameter, but the speaker itself is slightly larger than the iPhone.

GZ-44 allows you to listen to music of any genre and at any volume. The device copes equally well with classics, where it is necessary to detail many individual instruments, and with modern rhythms, in which only the bass is often important.

The built-in microphone did not disappoint either - if the synchronized smartphone is far away, then using the speaker you can quickly answer incoming call.

Perhaps the only drawback of the device is that it does not have the longest operating time without recharging. At maximum volume the battery will be drained in 5 hours. But to be fair, it’s worth saying that you’ll hardly have to listen to music at maximum volume in an apartment or office - 50% is enough. Otherwise, problems with disgruntled neighbors may arise

8.5 Evaluation

Cool design from the 70s
Wide range of adjustments
Pairing with a smartphone via Bluetooth
High quality build
Super sound from a famous brand

High price

The audio equipment and acoustics market is filled with numerous devices and accessories, including both budget models and mid-range products. price range, as well as premium options. We analyzed the current offers of manufacturers, and here are whose products were included in the ranking of the best portable speakers:

Xiaomi - this Chinese company is widely known in Russia. It produces smartphones, headphones, tablets, and portable speakers. Its acoustics provide a high-quality connection with any gadgets via Bluetooth 4.0 and ensure long-term listening to audio files even when running on batteries. The company produces both premium and budget products.
JBL - unlike Xiaomi, this company specializes in the production of audio equipment and acoustics. It was founded in 1946 and today offers quality portable speakers at an affordable price. They are resistant to moisture, small in size, convenient in shape and light in weight. There are models that work both from the mains and from a battery that can withstand up to 8 hours of load.
Perfeo - the brand appeared in 2010, under which it is produced portable electronics and accessories. His products have received awards more than once - “Best Choice of the Year”, “Editor’s Choice”, “ Best buy" Their high quality is guaranteed by thorough testing of finished devices, as well as strict control at all stages of production. The brand's portable acoustics are unique - they have a built-in FM tuner, a power of up to 50 W, and batteries with an average capacity of 1000mAh, depending on the model.
Divoom is a company created with the goal of debunking the myth that you cannot listen to your favorite music outside the home in comfort. It is trying to remove restrictions on sound quality, for which it produces portable speakers. All its equipment is environmentally friendly and has the necessary certificates. The company's devices are functional and can be connected wirelessly to almost any gadget. There are models here that run on battery power for up to 12 hours. It is very convenient that in the assortment the same acoustics are often offered in several colors.
Sony - like JBL, the company is considered one of the leaders in the audio and video equipment market. And such success is not surprising, because its products are reliably protected from the negative effects of dust and water, have good lighting, clear sound and batteries that last up to 15 hours on average. She follows trends and regularly develops modern new products, for example, the range includes units that can play music in two rooms at once. The company has a fairly flexible pricing policy, designed, among other things, for budget buyers.
Sven - this company is widely known among buyers of subwoofers, which are very powerful here. The company pays special attention to the quality of its products, so you can listen to music loudly even from your phone. It does not tie the buyer to electricity due to the presence in the range of devices powered by batteries. The equipment has durable housings and is made from environmentally friendly materials that are safe for humans. The prices are not low, but if you want to find inexpensive options It's quite possible here.
Ginzzu is a company that independently develops products and assembles them at its own plant, which turns the enterprise into a full-cycle production. After customers purchase a product, it does not leave the user alone with any difficulties encountered when operating the devices, providing reliable service in more than 300 locations throughout Russia, and also provides a valid guarantee. The company's products are chosen, in particular, because of the optimal ratio of quality and price.
Marshall is an English company engaged in the development and assembly of audio equipment and speaker systems. Its products are popular among world celebrities in the field of music. The company's amplifiers were used by Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, and Elton John. Its products have become so popular due to the stylish design of the products in a retro style, their high-quality “filling”, versatility and ease of use even for non-professionals.

When selecting the best portable speakers of 2018, we also paid attention to the reputation of the manufacturers, the number of reviews about them, and their nature - positive or negative.

There are quite a few criteria for choosing a gadget. Therefore, I divided all the characteristics into groups:

Dimensions and appearance
Sound quality
Connectivity
Autonomy
Control
Protection from dust and moisture
Additional features

The built-in speakers in smartphones or laptops are almost always far from ideal. Buying bulky speakers with a huge number of wires is not always profitable, but buying a compact portable audio system is still worth it. Such devices are universal, they can be used both at home and taken with you on picnics or walks.

JBL Flip 3

Price: 4,600 rubles

Power: 16 W;
Battery: 3000 mAh;
Dimensions: 64 x 169 x 64 mm;
Weight: 450 g.

The Flip 3 is one of JBL's cheapest offerings in the portable speaker segment. The body of the audio system is made in the shape of a cylinder; most of the wall area is occupied by the “chain mail” of the speaker. Everyone can choose the color of the device to suit their taste; customers have 8 color options available.

The speaker control buttons are located on a plastic platform. Here you can find the activation key, an hourglass icon, as well as a microUSB input and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. The last two are closed with a plastic plug; the device is not afraid of splashes of water and sand. The speaker's built-in battery provides up to 10 hours of music listening at medium volume.

JBL Flip 4

Price: from 4,000 rubles

Power: 16 W;
Battery: 3000 mAh;
Dimensions: 68 x 175 x 70 mm;
Weight: 515 g

The new generation of Flip is not much different in appearance from its predecessor; its individuality can be seen in the little things. The first of them is increased battery life. Now music can last at least 12 hours on a single battery charge.

The JBL Connect feature has also received improvements. Now you can connect up to hundreds of other JBLs to your wireless speaker. Previously, the device could only be synchronized with two portable audio systems. The previous waterproof standard has been changed to IPX7, which makes it possible to safely immerse in water.

Conclusion: An excellent portable audio system for outdoor activities. It costs 300 rubles more than the previous model.

Price: 2,300 rubles

Frequency range: 85Hz – 20kHz;
Power: 9 W;
Battery: 1500 mAh;
Dimensions: 168 x 24.5 x 58 mm;
Weight: 270 g.

The design of the speaker is made in Xiaomi style. This is a minimalist white block with elaborate perforation on one side. Control keys and wired interface connectors are located on opposite sides of the device. The body of the Bluetooth Speaker is very miniature, it can be easily stuffed even into a jeans pocket.

Considering the price of the device, the sound quality here is at the highest level. There is no crackling or distortion, but there is a slight dip in the low frequencies. The built-in 1500 mAh battery lasted exactly 10 hours of listening to music at medium volume.

Conclusion: for $40 this is one of the best solutions in terms of price/quality ratio.

JBL Charge 3

Price: 7,200 rubles

Frequency range: 65Hz – 20kHz;
Power: 20 W;
Battery: 6000 mAh;
Dimensions: 213 x 87 x 88.5 mm;
Weight: 800 g.

Charge 3 belongs to the segment of flagship portable audio systems. You can understand that this is not a cheap speaker just by its dimensions. Charge 3 is quite large and heavy; the body of the device is unlikely to fit into a pocket. The size of the device turned out to be a justified sacrifice for the sake of sound quality.

Playing your favorite tracks on the Charge 3 is truly flawless. All thanks to high power and a very wide frequency range. You can enjoy music for as long as twenty hours! In addition, the body of the audio system is protected according to the IPX7 standard, so the device will withstand not only rain, but also a fall into the pool without consequences.

Like its predecessor, Charge 3 can charge a smartphone or tablet in parallel with playing music. The only drawback of the speaker is the loud, unadjustable sound warning signal immediately after switching on.

Marshal Killburn

Price: 14,300 rubles

Frequency range: 62Hz – 20kHz;
Power: 10 W speakers 15 W subwoofer;
Battery: 2200 mAh;
Dimensions: 242x140x140 mm;
Weight: 3000 g

Marshall embodies its own old-school design in all of its audio products. The Kilburn portable speaker looks more like a jukebox from the sixties. The body of the device is made in a similar style - no plastic, the edges of the device are trimmed with black leather.

Optimal sound can only be achieved after some presets. Moreover, changing the genre of an audio track constantly entails adjusting the equalizer knob. All efforts are nullified after turning the volume wheel to the maximum value. The Kilburn is suitable for creating a noisy background at a picnic, but audiophiles may not like the detailed sound.

Conclusion: a must have for lovers of the old style with excellent battery life but not the best sound.

JBL Clip 2

Price: 2,300 rubles

Frequency range: 120Hz – 20kHz;
Power: 3 W;
Battery: 730 mAh;
Dimensions: 141 x 94 x 42 mm;
Weight: 185 g.

Clip 2 – typical a budget option, which is perfect for the role of an original gift. The speaker body has a round shape with a metal clip. The system is splash-proof and can withstand short periods of submersion.

Clip 2 can connect to a smartphone via Bluetooth, the communication range is up to 6 meters. The device can be combined with another similar device from JBL. The sound quality of the speaker is consistent with its price. There is nothing supernatural here, but no significant flaws were noticed during music playback.

The built-in 730 mAh battery is barely enough for seven hours of uninterrupted operation.

Conclusion: a good choice For its price, I am pleased with the presence of moisture protection and the ability to synchronize with other audio systems of the manufacturer.

Price: 2,900 rubles

Frequency range: 50Hz – 20kHz;
Power: 20 W;
Battery: 2600 mAh.
Moisture protection: IPX7;
Dimensions: 149 x 79 x 25 mm;

On the side panel of the device there are volume, power and Bluetooth buttons. The speaker can act as a headset - a microphone is built into the bottom panel, so you can not only hear the voice of your interlocutor, but also answer him. The sound quality here does not depend at all on the small dimensions.

JBL Xtreme

Price: 10,400 rubles

Frequency range: 70Hz – 20kHz;
Power: 20 W;
Battery: 10000 mAh;
Dimensions: 126 x 283 x 122 mm;
Weight: 2112 g

The flagship audio system from JBL is not that portable, given its large dimensions and weight of more than two kilograms. However, this even plays to the benefit of such a device. The manufacturer even included a durable strap for transportation in the package. JBL Extreme. The body of the audio system is covered with rubberized fabric with hard inserts at the ends. The insides are completely protected from moisture.

The huge size is justified by a large and high-quality subwoofer. Of all JBL devices, this device is the loudest, with deep bass. At the same time, Extreme is quite universal; almost any genre sounds equally good. Strong bass gives the body noticeable vibration, so it is better to place the speaker on a stable horizontal surface.

The built-in 10,000 mAh battery lasts approximately 15 hours on a single charge. While playing music, the speaker can charge up to two portable devices via USB.

Conclusion: JBL Extreme will not only serve as the main speaker at a noisy party, but is also perfect for regular home or office use.

There is also IPX5 water protection.

The device is adapted for transfer from one place to another, as can be understood from the name. Almost all speakers have a special hole or handle that allows you to conveniently and comfortably carry the speaker with you.

Features of speakers depending on application conditions

You need to listen to music when it sounds good. This opinion is shared by true music lovers and there is no point in challenging their opinion. Depending on the main direction of music, there are Various types speakers that differ in appearance, playback quality, and volume.

Although all phone speakers are universal and can be used to play any type of music, preference should be given to darker tones with increased bass. This is due to the fact that speakers are not needed for modest playback, when the volume does not differ significantly from the phone.

If the speaker is built into a car or used in a gym where extraneous noise is constantly present, a speaker with increased bass will be the ideal solution.

If the music will be played from a different genre, then you shouldn’t choose based on external parameters. It is preferable to choose a speaker with sound quality. Because in pop styles the main thing is clarity of rhythm and words, and in rock style it’s about volume and explosive bass guitar.

Outdoor recreation relaxes not only physically, but also mentally. And what could be better than going on a picnic, singing songs, and when you have no strength left, lie down and turn on calm music.

The main task of a traveler is to purchase a speaker with a large charge capacity. Most modern acoustics do not work for more than 10 hours, which may not be enough for a good rest.

To avoid this situation, you need to use speakers with a battery capacity of at least 15 hours. Moreover, the speakers do not operate in a “barely” audible mode, but at maximum volume, even squirrels from the neighboring forest will hear you.

This speaker is great to take on hikes with friends, when the background of a loud company needs to be diluted with music. Despite the miniature size of portable speakers, you may be surprised that they are so loud. The presence of mechanical controls on the speaker will allow you to independently select the music equalizer and adjust the frequency and bit.

Thus, you turn on any style of music, adjust the sound as needed, and that’s it, enjoy the result.

For hiking

The size of the speaker should be miniature and fit into any bag, so there is no need to purchase an additional accessory for storage and transportation. It is worth noting that many speakers sound at 360 degrees, which is a huge plus compared to the low price. On average, a column of this type costs 2 or 3 times more.

You can take the speakers with you outdoors and in the rain and not worry about the consequences, because the speakers for such purposes are waterproof. Excellent protection allows the speakers to be submerged under water for short periods of time. Shockproof capabilities are also excellent, as they can withstand a direct hit against a wall.

Concerning technical characteristics travel speakers, they should be as follows:

In continuous operation mode they can operate for 10 hours, and the autonomous mode lasts up to 4 days.
High protection against impact and water penetration.
Radius Bluetooth reception connection 10 meters, which allows you to adjust the operation of the speaker at a distance.

A bicycle stand should be made of durable material, preferably rubber, to soften the impact in case of a fall. As for the sound, you should give preference to speakers with bass, since extraneous noise while driving does not allow you to enjoy the sound quality.

The speaker should be miniature so that you can carry it with you without any discomfort. The plugs on the elastic bands must be protected with a strong mesh so that dirt or insects do not get into the column during the trip.

The speaker must be waterproof so that it can be used in rain or cloudy weather. Some types of bicycle speakers have additional fastenings in the form of a carabiner, which allows you to secure the device to any surface.

For home

When purchasing speakers for your home, you should immediately decide on the parameters that will be important to you. Sound quality is subjective for everyone and some are looking for higher quality and clearer sound to understand the text, while others are looking for speakers with bass that will just sound loud.

Do right choice you will be helped by your faithful companion - hearing, which always helps to determine the most important criterion that you should rely on when choosing home speakers. Most users prefer speakers with high frequencies, since clear sound is more in demand than loudness.

What could be better than to start cleaning the house when all your relatives are at work or have a free minute, turn on Johann Strauss and flutter around the parquet to the calm sound?

And if you need a speaker for a home where there are always parties or large gatherings of people, then purchasing speakers with low frequencies and bass will be an excellent solution.

Main selection criteria

The world of technology is so rich that users have the opportunity to choose any device for storing music: computer, smartphone, MP-3 player, flash card, and so on. But when it comes to playback, there are 2 devices: headphones and speakers. If the essence of the former is to maintain a more closed playback mode, then the speakers should be audible throughout the entire area. If this is not the purpose of purchasing speakers, then you should opt for headphones.

First of all, you need to pay attention to the presence of an audio module, namely a speaker. It is best if there are at least 2 of them, and Hi-fi or Hi-End level.
Do not give preference to cheap ones, since their service life may be significantly shorter than the manufacturer indicates. As practice shows, cheap speakers often end up in stores with defects, and no one can predict the quality of playback and their integrity after a couple of months. The minimum price for a good speaker is 1,500 rubles and above. The only exception may be a promotional offer (immediately check for defects) or a new brand that has not yet become popular.
As for power, preference should be given to two-way ones, which can reproduce sound not at one frequency, but at two. If you are lucky enough to purchase a speaker with 3 playback bands, then you will get not only sound at low and high frequencies, but also at medium frequencies. This way the sound will be natural, not dry. The minimum power of a portable speaker should be 3 W. If the column is single-sided, then the maximum high frequency will vary from 10 thousand to 55 thousand Hz and the higher this number, the better. If at a low frequency, then from 20 to 500 Hz and the lower it is, the better the sound will be. The ability to adjust the equalizer allows you to adjust the noise level.
The presence of good batteries allows you to extend the life of both autonomous and active mode. It would be preferable if the speaker has a USB charging connector. Before purchasing a speaker, read the instructions and make sure you have the necessary supplies to charge the speaker.
Possibility of use Wi-fi networks, helps prevent the device from electromagnetic interference. Thus, the user will be protected from noise and extraneous sounds that may occur when another device approaches.

Every year new models appear on the music market, which constantly introduce novelty and dilute the number of functions, introducing something new.
