1. Sonos Move

Integrates into a home network of Sonos speakers Pieces on the way Not as feature-rich when using Bluetooth Can't be used as theater rear speakers Here's what about the Sonos Move - it's so good you might want to consider it more than just as your party station on the go, but also as your main wireless speaker at home. With two quality drivers, a robust app that unlocks playback from hundreds of wireless sources, multi-room capabilities, and intelligent audio-tuning technology that adjusts output to suit the speaker's immediate environment, the Sonos Move is designed well beyond your average Bluetooth speaker. It's a versatile speaker, sitting securely alongside the Sonos designed-for-home speakers the company made its name for. It's not perfect: it's heavy as a byproduct of its incredible sound, it's expensive due to its rich feature set, and unfortunately it can't be used as rear channels for a home theater setup. But if you have the money, it's hard to blame the Sonos Move when it comes to finding the best Bluetooth speaker in the world. Read the full review: Sonos Move review

4. Bose Home portable speaker
A great alternative to Sonos MoveWeight: 2.4 pounds | Battery life: 12 hours | Wireless Range: N/A | Frequency Response: N/A | Drivers: N/A | NFC: no | Bluetooth version: 4.2 | Auxiliary input: no | USB charging: yes Super design Well balanced sound Expensive Lack of bass If 2019 was the year of the smart speaker, 2020 should be the year of the portable smart speaker, and with the Bose portable speaker as well as competing models like the Sonos Move with tips from Google Assistant and Alexa along with Bluetooth connectivity, the market is already growing rapidly. The Bose portable speaker isn't the brand's first compatible outdoor speaker, and it shows: a gorgeous minimalist design and weather-resistant sturdiness, with a lightweight build and handle that lends itself to listening on the go. It doesn't quite match the sonic prowess of the Sonos Move, nor the value for money of the UE Boom 3 and JBL Charge 4, but if you like Bose sound and build quality, this is the speaker for you.

We recommend the Flare to anyone looking for a wireless speaker that can do it all without breaking the bank. Read the full review: Anker Soundcore Flare review

The best outdoor speaker is updatedWeight: 0.93 pounds | Dimensions: 104 x 95.3mm (H x D) | Battery life: up to 13 hours | Wireless range: 100ft (33m) | Frequency response: 75 Hz - 20 kHz | Drivers: Two 40mm active drivers and two 46,1mm x 65,2mm passive radiators | NFC: no | Bluetooth Version: N/A | Auxiliary input: no | USB charging: no Great sound for its size. IP67 dustproof/waterproof 30% longer battery life Restrictive sound scene The original EU Wonderboom has been at the top of our best waterproof speaker list since its inception and for good reason: it's tough, sounds louder than its diminutive sound suggests, and could be combined with others. EU Wonderboom speakers to amplify the sound. And while the EU Wonderboom 2 is almost identical to the original, the Ultimate Ears is packed with a multitude of upgrades that make the Wonderboom 2 even better, like increasing battery life (up to 30% compared to the original). ), better bass response and the new Outdoor Boost function that helps the speaker to be even louder than before.

7. Bose SoundLink Mini II
Best midrange speakerWeight: 1.5 pounds | Dimensions: 2 x 7.1 x 2.3 inches (H x W x D) | Battery life: up to 10 hours | Wireless range: 30 feet (10 m) | Frequency response: N / A | Drivers: N / A | NFC: no | Bluetooth version: N / A | Auxiliary input: yes | USB charging: no
It's stellar Built like a tank Compact form factor Not waterproof The Bose SoundLink Mini II is relatively old, having been released in June 2015.

The best party speaker with the built-in Google AssistantWeight: 6lbs 14oz | Battery life: 12 hours | Wireless range: approx. 98 feet | Frequency response: 20 - 20,000 Hz | Drivers: 45mm | NFC: yes | Auxiliary Input: N/A | USB charging: no Portable Party Speaker It's powerful and roomy. Lights out of sync Voice detection average The SRS-XB501G is a large speaker that offers a light show, tripod mount, great sound, and the Google Assistant. It's a speaker you can really use on the go and at home after a day out. On the go, the speaker is brilliant, playing loud and up to 4 p.m. But at home, its dated design and average voice detection are compromises compared to dedicated speakers at home. Competitors like the LG PK7 sound a bit better and have a light show that actually reacts to your music, but they don't have the Google Assistant built in. If you're looking for a true portable speaker that you can pack in a bag that also supports Google Assistant, the JBL Link 20 is a good choice. Don't expect it to produce as much bass or offer as wide a soundstage. To this end, the XB501G is a good overall compromise that pulls multiple punches. It's not the best wireless speaker or the best smart speaker, but it's a solid entry in both categories and one of the few to exist on either side.

It's also built like a tank, making it one of the most durable speakers we've ever gotten our hands on.

These are ultimately minor complaints, and the Denon Envaya is still an excellent Bluetooth speaker, easily among the best you can buy this year. Read the full review: Denon Envaya (DSB-250BT) review
