Top 10 Wireless Bluetooth speakers

When it comes to the world of modern gadgets and devices, it’s hard to completely skip over speakers—namely wireless and Bluetooth speakers. One, because there are so many of them and also because they’ve grown quite popular over the years and the market is projected to keep growing. This is no real surprise as speakers can be great for casual home use and due to their nature, you can conveniently take them along if you travel, go to a party, or even go for a hike, so their appeal is apparent.

Wireless speakers come in all shapes and sizes and what each person prefers will differ, so narrowed down a top ten for you to look into.

Last updated March 2023.

The Sonos One is a brilliant all-rounder as far as wireless speakers go, but it’s also not so big that it’s cumbersome or awkward to take out and about. And with rich, first-rate sound you can stream from all the popular music platforms—Spotify, Apple music and Amazon music. And by no means is it cheap, but you won’t have to spend a fortune for a high-quality speaker, which is always a good thing.

 

Sony once again impresses in the audio department with the XG300, portable by nature with a retractable handle and boasting up to 25 hours of playtime from a full charge. It looks and sounds great, with a large speaker surface area to deliver booming bass, while also meeting the standard for being waterproof and dustproof (IP67). It also features some fun, customisable lights to brighten things up when you’re listening.

 

Portability can be a key decision maker when it comes to wireless speakers and the Roam definitely has that covered, with a design made to make the best use of speaker surface area for great sound. And with the built in wi-fi and the Sonos app, it’s easy to get up and running so you’ll be listening to your favourite songs in no time. And as it’s also voice-controlled, the roam comes with both Google assistant and Alexa.

 

With resonating sound and bass that's more than enough to fill a room, the pill shaped Xboom Go from LG is a good choice to get a party going—and being IPX5 rated, its also suitable for use outdoors.

The speaker is bluetooth compatible, also features a 3.5mm jack for manual connecting, with Google assistant and Siri built in as voice assistants to be used if needed. And an approximate 24 hour battery life caps off a very solid speaker offering.

Portability is a big feature with Bose’s SoundLink speakers and the Revolve+ comes with a useful handle for extra convenience. On top of that you get a built-in microphone for hands-free voice control, 360-degree sound for great coverage over a wide area, deep bass and long battery life.

Bang & Olufsen have gone for a stylish, creative look for the Beosound explore, a capable and durable speaker that’s small enough to be classed as truly portable. It doesn’t have a voice control feature, but it’s rugged, waterproof and dust resistant enough to withstand the elements—and with two 30W amplifiers, it can provide satisfactory sound.

Small yet sturdy, the SoundLink Flex is another solid device from Bose, built to survive the elements, accidental drops and falls. It also meets the IP67 rating, being waterproof and it reportedly even floats, though it’s probably best to keep it on dry land. It’s ideal for outdoor listening but also handy at home, with a built-in microphone for taking calls and fast Bluetooth pairing.

Go for a retro, alternative look with the Roberts Revival speaker. You can choose between f a number of different colours to suit whatever you fancy—for a wireless DAB/FM radio that has Bluetooth connectivity. It's portable, easy to use and has a bass radiator for rich sound.

 

This wireless speaker is great for outdoor use, being waterproof and sturdy. It has a relatively simple design but gets the job done, delivering booming, clear sound from a fit-in- your-bag size package.

 

Seemingly built for travel, the Go 3 is a compact speaker that you can take just about anywhere, it can practically fit in your pocket and it’s under £50 as well. Though despite its size you can still get quality sound, up to five hours of play on a single charge and the ability to take your tunes with you wherever you go.
