Small portable bluetooth speaker

15 replies

Any recommendations for a small portable bluetooth speaker? Something with really good sound quality. Some of the £20-30 speakers either sound tinny or assume everyone wants the bass amplified for every single song. Anyone tried any Bose speakers? I know they're about £100 or so but a solid speaker is one area I'd be willing to spend extra.

I have the Bose ones. I have a Micro and a Flex. For what I listen to, they are fine, definitely not tinny, more bass-y. You can link them together too. They often go on special offer, so don't pay full price.

We have Wonderbooms and they are brilliant! Great sound quality, incredibly robust and you can link them together.

I just bought a little Marshall one from John Lewis, on offer. It’s really good.

Much better than my previous Juice cheapo ones.

Anker great sounding compact speaker

I was going to say Anker too, bought one recently for listening to music in the garden and am impressed

I have this and it is magnificent! It might be one of my favourite possessions. I'm a musician, so I'm fussy about sound quality. I regularly listen to music through this and I regularly pump up the volume and play along with music too. It's small and mighty.

I agree with the Bose Soundlink Revolve recommendation. I love mine and it was worth every penny. I’ve also got a Soundlink Micro which is okay, better for audiobooks than music.

I am using Anker Soundcore Mini 3, although small, the sound is very good and the price is also very budget friendly. If you want something for outdoors, JBL Clip 5 is a very good option, waterproof and has a long battery life. And if the budget is low, Tribit StormBox Micro 2 also works quite well. Hope this helps.

Anker Soundcore here too. We have the original, the bass isnt great, but the battery life is phenomenal. DD has the mini3 and the battery life isnt quite as good but the sound is great. I wish they hadn’t stopped doing the earphones I absolutely loved. We also have a Robert’s Revival Petite and despite being adorable and having the DAB radio function I would not recommend due to the abysmal battery.

I've got the Marshall one and it is excellent quality sound, build and battery life. The bass is phenomenal.
