What is the Best Bluetooth Speaker Overall?
After testing a wide array of Bluetooth speakers over the past decade, we’ve narrowed down our top pick to the Soundcore by Anker Boom 2. This speaker stands out for its exceptional value, balancing sound quality, battery life, and affordability. However, there are several other noteworthy models to consider, including the Bose SoundLink Flex, Bose SoundLink Max, Tribit StormBox Flow, and the new Beats Pill. The Ultimate Ears Everboom and Tribit XSound Plus 2 are also among our latest top choices.
While some of these speakers are premium options with higher price tags, we’ve also included budget-friendly picks that cost less than $50. Our evaluations focus on sound performance, battery longevity, design elements like water resistance and durability, and overall value for the price. The list is regularly updated based on new releases and ongoing tests to ensure you get the best recommendations.
