Portable speakers
A portable speaker is chosen for where it will be used: at the bottom of a bag, by a pool or in the middle of a party. Real battery life, resistance to water and dust, and carrying weight then matter above all. Large party models deliver fuller bass, at the cost of bulk. Light shows and the maximum power figure make little difference in use.

What we rate in this category
Every product in the category is rated from 0 to 100 on these criteria : the same for all of them, whichever merchant sells it.
- Sound power
- Measures the audio power delivered by the speaker: the longer the bar, the louder and clearer the sound stays at high volume.
- Battery life
- Measures how long the speaker can play on a single charge: the longer the bar, the more playtime it offers.
- Battery capacity
- Measures the energy stored in the battery: the longer the bar, the longer it can power the speaker before recharging.
- Speakers
- Measures the number of built in speaker drivers: the longer the bar, the richer and more spread out the sound.
- Price
- Compares the speaker’s price to other models on the market: the longer the bar, the better the deal.
