You really shouldn’t be surprised that a Bose system made its way to this list, with the brand’s reputation for high-quality sound.

This speaker walks the line between a semi-professional device and a fun mobile speaker to use with your friends, making it ideal for a number of different situations.

Sony’s mini Bluetooth speaker is a good choice for the extra-portable class of speakers, a tiny unit that you can carry with no trouble but which still offers dual passive radiators and a wide stereo mode. The battery life, however, is a little disappointing at 7 hours, and the speaker won’t win any awards with its style. But sometimes the basics are exactly what you need, and you can find this speaker at a reasonable $124.99

Key Factors to a Top Bluetooth Speaker
When you’re shopping for a Bluetooth speaker there a four things to keep in mind: battery size, portability, ruggedness, and sound quality.  Unfortunately, sound quality and size, while not entirely mutually exclusive, are closely tied to one other.  However, our #1 pick, the Fugoo Sport, fulfills both of these criteria despite its size, or in this case portability. Which is to say it’s portable and provides ample power and sound quality.  More, the Fugoo provides up to 40 hours of battery life, destroying our next highest rated pick by more than double.  You could very well travel with the Fugoo for a full two weeks and never have to charge it.

That in mind, look for a Bluetooth speaker that is rugged.  One that is able to survive falls and water as you’ll likely want to take it to the beach or by the pool – look for an IP Code.  The Bose Soundlink III is the exception in this case but thanks to excellent sound quality you won’t need to have it as close to the water.  Though there is no disputing that the lack of this feature does reduce the overall value proposition of a Bluetooth speaker.

Mistakes to Avoid
There are many cheap Bluetooth speakers on the market.  And by cheap I mean both in price and build quality.  Don’t get wrapped up in those knock off esque devices unless you can evaluate their quality from a third party.   And don’t just mean sound quality.  You’ll want a Bluetooth speaker that will last you the test of time, or last for a few years.  And one that won’t fall apart by tossing it into a bag.

Also, make sure you get a Bluetooth speaker that can be charged by microUSB.  At this point, miniUSB should have been phased out, but it’s worth taking note.  All of our picks are microUSB, so you won’t have a problem there.  And if you’re an Android user, you’ll be able to charge both your phone and these Bluetooth speakers from the same cord.

Which Bluetooth Speaker is Right for You?
I honestly believe that the Fugoo Sport is the best bluetooth speaker money can buy.  As of March 2016 it sells for just $169.99, which is a bargain, as it usually goes for $30 more.  And thanks to a set of neodymium speakers that are arranged in such a way it’s able to emit 360 degrees of sound, with bass no less – your ears won’t be sorry.

Of the list, the Bose Soundlink 3 is probably the standout of the pact, largely because it’s, well, larger in size than the bunch.  However, it isn’t waterproof, though it provides the widest frequency range, hitting lows that aren’t achieved (some come close) by any other Bluetooth speaker on the list.

If you’re on a tight budget, you won’t be sorry with UE’s Roll. It’s inexpensive, very versatile thanks to the built-in bungie cord, and is 100% waterproof.  Call it a value pick without much  compromise.
