Sonitrek Go XL Smart Bluetooth 5 Portable Wireless Waterproof Speaker With Bass Boost Dual Pairing (Burnt Orange)

Product Information

The Tribit Stormbox Blast is an unusual speaker and there are a few things you need to know before you consider it: it's quite heavy and you can't turn those lights off completely –although you can make it so they only pop up when you're switching the volume levels. FM radio: You can find a Bluetooth speaker with radio that lets you tune into FM, so you can cut out the middleman and not have to stream from a radio app on your smartphone. Like its predecessor, the Flip 6 supports Bluetooth 5.1, the cutting-edge version of the wireless standard. JBL says it gets 12 hours of battery life per charge. The Flip 6 is tube-shaped and measures seven inches long, and roughly 2.7 wide and deep. This speaker has earned an IPX7 durability rating, which means it’s totally dust-proof and can be totally submerged under up to one meter of water for up to 30 minutes. Often not very customisable, however some portable speakers can be connected to mobile apps which let you adjust sound settings.

This compact speaker from Sonos is a portable Bluetooth speaker with an ace up its sleeve: Wi-Fi connectivity. When out and about you’ll be making use of Bluetooth and the Roam’s 10-hour battery life but at home, you can hook it up to your wireless network and integrate it into an existing Sonos multiroom speaker system. The Logitech Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2 has an IP67 rating, so it can be submerged in 1m of water for up to 30 minutes at a time. Voice controlIt’s even got an IP67 waterproof rating, which means it’s dust-proof and waterproof in up to 3.3 feet of water for up to 30 minutes. Use it indoors or outdoors, your new Marshall speaker can handle it all. Bluetooth speakers that rely solely on mains power are less common and normally less portable, too. You may still be able to carry one around in your bag, but if you want to use it while out and about, you’ll need access to an external power source. Can I use my Bluetooth speaker outdoors? Yes, it's still 'just' a Bluetooth speaker – but what a great-sounding Bluetooth speaker it is. If you want to boost the sound presentation to your liking, you can now tweak things thanks to a new EQ feature in the app. For a nominal price hike over the launch price of the Flip 5, there’s certainly more detail here, too, while that improved IP rating offers peace of mind when you're hitting the road. The best Bluetooth speakers come in all shapes and sizes and at all kinds of prices. Some are rugged so you can take them on adventures; others are bigger and designed for larger spaces or parties. Bluetooth is particularly good for water-resistant speakers too: the best waterproof speakers use Bluetooth instead of cables, which makes it easier to keep the water from getting in. A great choice for summer pool parties or beach trips, and should be fine even if things get wild. Building on the success of the original Stormbox Micro and featuring an all but identical woven finish design, the Micro's sequel trumps its predecessor by delivering enjoyable audio and massively improved battery life (our Tribit has been passed around the office for months and still boasts three bars of power). We easily coaxed 12 hours of listening out of a single charge, while an IP67 rating let one of our reviewers use it in the shower without any issue or damage. Again, the Stormbox Micro 2's diminutive size and durable design make it well-suited for travelling far beyond the confines of a bathroom or kitchen.

During testing, we found that bass depth was better than the Sonos One, and there’s plenty of coherent energy on display, even at lower volume levels. Midrange clarity had just the right balance, and radio voices and vocal clarity were always convincing and expertly conveyed with whatever song or radio show we streamed. The stereo soundstage is perhaps a bit narrow even with the Era 100’s twin tweeter arrangement, but nevertheless it's a strong performance and a great Bluetooth addition to Sonos’ ecosystem. But Tribit has made no secret of wanting to bring the party to both your ears and your body, and it has emphatically delivered. This thing can go loud and still sound good when it does. If you're worried whether one speaker will be enough for the garden party, it will here – and for this money, it represents unbeatable sound-per-pound value. Portable speakers now have a host of features that can make them more suitable for all kinds of uses.Following in the footsteps of theSonos Move, the Sonos Roam comes with both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, which means it can work as aportable speakeras well as part of your wider multi-room Sonos system – and with Google Assistantand Alexa onboard (when you're on Wi-Fi), it doubles up asmart speakertoo. The Ultimate Ears Hyperboom is a powerful speaker that will deliver a party atmosphere, both indoors and outdoors. Its Ultimate Ears' largest Bluetooth speaker to date, but stays in keeping with the company's stylish designs, and adds two Bluetooth radios so you can switch seamlessly between two phones. If waterproofing is a priority then look out for models from Ultimate Ears, which combine fun, colorful designs with rugged builds – many of which can withstand a dip in the pool.
