Bluetooth speakers are often available for as little as $5, but we’ve never found such an inexpensive model to sound good enough to bother using-especially when the speakers built into today’s better phones can play loud enough for light listening.
Price: Even though we would like to test every type of portable Bluetooth speaker, we set a bottom price of $15.Although we don’t limit our testing to waterproof speakers, we do give preference in our judging to speakers with an Ingress Protection (IP) rating, which tells you exactly how waterproof and dustproof a speaker is. Ruggedness and waterproof design: We give priority to speakers that are built to survive the knocks and bumps of travel.For our top pick, we prioritize speakers that are compact and easy to toss into a backpack, beach bag, or suitcase-yet still produce great sound.
