Every music lover understands how great it is to have a device at hand for high-quality reproduction of your favorite music. And electronics manufacturers understand this, which is why they are releasing more and more Bluetooth speakers. Some of them can fit into a jacket pocket, while some are only suitable for installation on a hard surface. flat surface. There are significant differences in the quality of track playback. In any case, you won't get confused - we have prepared a rating of portable speakers.
8.4 Evaluation
- Compact dimensions
- Possibility to place both horizontally and vertically
- Splash water protection
- Long battery life
- Noticeable vibrations when volume increases
The rating opens with a compact cylinder from Sony. The 2017 model has a pretty good shape, thanks to which the speaker can be placed on a table, laid horizontally, or hung on a hook. In addition, the dimensions of the case are more than modest, so constantly carrying the gadget in your hands will not be annoying.
The manufacturer can give a solid “A” for well-thought-out ergonomics: not much, but they took care of user convenience.
All the necessary buttons are at hand, and besides, there are many indicators that notify you about the status of the device.
The SRS-XB10 is easy to connect to any smartphone or tablet: in addition to the standard and familiar Bluetooth technology, there is a modern NFC chip. So connecting and starting to play songs is a matter of a few seconds.
Behind the modest dimensions are hidden immodest possibilities. The speaker perfectly reproduces any musical genre, with the main emphasis on bass. Here they are quite rich. Provided and large stock volume, although in a typical living room maximum volume is unlikely to be needed. And this is good, because listening to music at medium volume gives no less than 16 hours of battery life! You can enjoy your favorite tracks all day long and just plug the speaker into a power outlet at night.
7.3 Evaluation
- Convenient carrying strap
- Reliable materials
- Waterproof against splashing water
- Large volume range
- Long work without recharging
- Extraneous noise and whistling during playback
- Inability to remove the belt without damaging it
The model from Tesler deservedly gets its place on the list of the most powerful portable speakers. This gadget has an ideal shape: the rectangular speaker is easy to install on a table or floor, and can also be carried in your hands. Moreover, there is a leather strap for hand carrying.
Two speakers and two passive resonators provide good sound for both low and high frequencies - the output power is 8.5 W.
The best part is that you can enjoy your favorite tracks all day long. The built-in lithium-polymer battery has a record capacity (for this type of electronics) - 2000 mAh. In practice, this makes it possible to use the PSS-880 for up to 15 hours and not even remember about the outlet.
The model has one more undeniable advantage - the price! The starting price of the speaker did not exceed 3,000 rubles, which makes the model the most budget in our TOP.
To please music lovers with such an inexpensive boombox, the manufacturer had to abandon some fashionable options: the interface turned out to be quite modest, there is only Bluetooth and a 3.5 mm mini-Jack connector.
7.3 Evaluation
- Durable aluminum housing
- Stylish design in several colors
- Availability of a slot for microSD
- Excellent low bass
- Long battery life
- No charging cable included
- Instructions and alerts are in Chinese only
- Unfinished recording function
- Vibration and instability when reproducing low frequencies
The Chinese brand Xiaomi regularly offers many new products different types technology. And portable speakers are no exception. Our list of the best stereo and mono devices includes the Mi Bluetooth Speaker model.
There are no complaints about the design and assembly of this gadget: all the parts fit perfectly and even an attentive user will not find a single gap. Reliable plastic is used in the manufacture of the case.
Even a recognized aesthete will like the design - the compact speaker is reminiscent of a school pencil case in shape and size. Only, unlike the children's accessory, Xiaomi is decorated with stylish perforations.
Having done a great job on the appearance, the manufacturers did not forget about the content. Inside there are two speakers capable of reproducing high-quality sound in the range from 85 to 20,000 Hz. This means that the high frequencies will be quite detailed, and the bass will be soft.
Xiaomi is famous for its ability remote control gadgets and Mi Bluetooth Speaker was no exception.
For owners of the accessory it is provided branded application.
There you can switch tracks, the volume, and the equalizer settings are easy to figure out. Well, for those who prefer classic push-button controls, the engineers left the side keys and indicators.
7.6 Evaluation
- Improved design and many colors
- Dimensions and weight – the smallest
- Ease of use
- Reliable protection against splashes and rain
- Not bad sound in this class
- Low price for everyone
- Autonomy is very low
- Tight connector access cover
What should you pay attention to when you want to save money and listen to high-quality background music? Of course, Go 2 from JBL is one of the best wireless speakers for home or outdoor gatherings.
This gadget is exactly what most people mean when they call it pocket-sized. The case dimensions are only 71.2x86x31.6 mm. You can put it in your pocket, on the back of the sofa, or on the side of the pool - Go 2 will be convenient everywhere. Moreover, the manufacturer has equipped the case with water protection according to the IPX7 standard: the device can lie next to a body of water, but it is better not to put it in the water.
The device is clearly aimed at young people: wide choice colors (most of the shades are bright and colorful), excellent volume reserve. The two 40mm drivers are designed to cover the entire frequency spectrum, but in practice the highs and mids sound best.
Among the functions of this model, it is worth noting the ability to answer calls received on a synchronized smartphone.
The compact gadget has a noise-canceling microphone, so voice recording is in no way inferior to a telephone voice recorder.
This little guy works for only 5 hours without recharging - this time is quite enough for a party away from an outlet, but within an apartment or house you can connect it to the mains. The playback quality will not be affected in any way while charging the battery.
8.5 Evaluation
- Compact dimensions
- Large selection of colors
- Increased frequency range
- Capacious battery
- Lacks detail at high and mid frequencies
JBL Flip 4 is not far behind its colleague and took sixth place in the ranking of portable speakers. The stylish gadget also received large selection colors: users have at their disposal not just a standard assortment, but also periodic limited collections with patterned fabric covering the body.
A boombox with a bright design is created for the same bright and cheerful music lovers: the model seems to be created for parties.
- Firstly, it is easy to take with you and can be placed anywhere - a neat thin strap allows you to even hang the gadget on a tree branch or any hook.
- Secondly, the emphasis on bass makes it possible to listen to dance tracks, electro or house music.
However, high frequencies are not drowned out, so the manufacturer managed to find an approach to lyrical compositions.
The proprietary application has been improved especially for users. As before, it allows you to completely control the operation of the gadget - switch the song, change the volume. But now two Flip 4 boomboxes can be combined into a single stereo system for better sound. While the speakers are combined, the user can even receive a call - there is a microphone here.
In this mode, at maximum volume, the device operates for up to 10 hours. And it’s not only suitable for charging electrical outlet, but also a modern POWERBANK.
8.6 Evaluation
- Availability of LED backlight
- Almost a day of work without recharging
- Connectivity via NFC
- Quite a lot of weight
- Weak microphone
This stylish and powerful model from Sony combines several new technologies and cool features, which is why it made it into this TOP. And it’s not surprising, because it was the XB41 model that became the flagship in the updated 2019 line.
Sound quality is still pretty good high level. The range of supported frequencies has been increased - now the minimum is 20 Hz. And this affected music playback.
The bass literally “pumps” - even the speaker vibrates slightly.
Unfortunately, they also overlap the mid and especially high frequencies.
Well, we have to admit that the holder of fifth place in the ranking is unlikely to brighten up working hours light lounge music, but will fit perfectly into the party atmosphere. This is also facilitated by the built-in lighting. The speakers are decorated with LEDs that can simply light up, or they can “blink” to the beat of the music or respond to touches on the body.
What about battery life? The built-in battery allows the gadget to work up to 20 hours - and this is more than enough for even the longest party. If you use a Bluetooth connection to a smartphone or tablet, use the device’s backlight and turn the volume up to maximum, the battery charge will last for 10 hours.
8.6 Evaluation
- Excellent autonomy
- IPX 7 waterproof rating
- Availability of built-in microphone
- Grippy textile surface
- Ability to charge other devices in power bank mode
- Mediocre sound when connected via Bluetooth
- Possible involuntary activation
- The plug on the underside of the case is too hard
What is JBL Charge 3? It's still the same stylish and thoughtful design, but with improved performance and a couple of new technologies. The new product has a convenient barrel-shaped body. Plastic and silicone were used - the materials are already reliable, and together with water protection of the IPX7 standard, they are practically indestructible. The dimensions are perfect for carrying in your hand, bag or deep pocket.
The main changes are concentrated inside: two wide-range speakers along with two passive radiators with a power of 10 W allow you to listen to music of any genre - from the heaviest rock and roll to gentle romantic compositions. Moreover, the frequency range is quite wide - from 65 Hz to the classic 20,000 Hz.
Thanks to these technical characteristics, the sound that Charge 3 offers has become smoother and more balanced.
Good sound allows you to listen to music from several speakers at once, like in an advanced stereo system. There is an app called JBL Connect+ for this purpose. By the way, unlike other JBL gadgets, which are located in lower positions in the ranking, this hero supports integration into unified system both new and old models.
It seems that with such good capabilities one should not expect long-term autonomy. But the developers managed to surprise their fans here too.
Inside there is lithium ion battery at 6000 mAh. So the user can safely count on 15-20 hours of listening to music at high volume.
7.7 Evaluation
- Reliable housing materials
- Good battery life
- Nonlinear volume switching
- "Clean" sound
- No memory card slot
- No water protection
You are unlikely to want to take this model to the beach or to a street party - the Loftsound GZ-44 looks too expensive and presentable. The body is made of a combination of metal and genuine leather.
Ergonomics - above all praise! For user convenience, the manufacturer has equipped the speaker with a strap, which can be easily removed if necessary. Convenient buttons make it easy to control the operation of the device.
Interestingly, the speakers have a classic diameter, but the speaker itself is slightly larger than the iPhone.
GZ-44 allows you to listen to music of any genre and at any volume. The device copes equally well with classics, where it is necessary to detail many individual instruments, and with modern rhythms, in which only the bass is often important.
The built-in microphone did not disappoint either - if the synchronized smartphone is far away, then using the speaker you can quickly answer an incoming call.
Perhaps the only drawback of the device is that it does not have the longest operating time without recharging. At maximum volume the battery will be drained in 5 hours. But to be fair, it’s worth saying that you’ll hardly have to listen to music at maximum volume in an apartment or office - 50% is enough. Otherwise, problems with disgruntled neighbors may arise
8.5 Evaluation
- Cool design from the 70s
- Wide range of adjustments
- Pairing with a smartphone via Bluetooth
- High quality build

Portable speakers allow you to listen to music wherever there is no network access. They will save your smartphone's charge, and due to the volumetric speakers they will provide deeper sound than the speakers built into the phone. Often, such speakers are purchased for outdoor recreation, but if your laptop supports the Bluetooth protocol, then they can be turned into compact system for home without unnecessary wires and busy USB/3.5mm connectors. Also, a number of speakers support AUX. This means they can also be used in a car. The main advantages of portable speakers:
- Compactness. The speakers have small size, weigh little, and easily fit into a pocket or bag.
- Sound. Speakers are used large diameter and depth. They allow you to maximize the potential of low and mid frequencies (which is physically impossible to realize even on the most expensive smartphone or tablet).
- Wireless connection. The speakers connect to the device via Bluetooth or NFC. Even at a distance of several tens of meters from the smartphone, they will continue to work effectively.
- Can be used as a headset. Many speakers, even the cheapest ones, are equipped with a microphone and a call button. Therefore, during a call you can not turn them off, but simply receive the call via speakerphone
- Use as a Powerbank. A number of speakers are equipped with a capacious battery and a USB connector for charging gadgets.
- Autonomy. There are models with connection of memory cards or flash drives. Such devices can be used without connecting to a smartphone or other data device.
The Best Inexpensive Mono Portable Speakers
Mono speakers are devices that use only one sound source. They weigh little, are very compact and do not consume much energy. At the same time, such speakers often sound quieter than stereo speakers. The devices are ideal for sports, cycling and hiking.
4 Philips PixelPop
Excellent implementation of the hands-free function. Anti-clipping
Country: Netherlands (manufactured in China)
Average price: 1,290 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.5
The Philips Pixel Pop wireless audio speaker has already been called the JBL GO killer, and it seems with good reason. They are equally cheap, but many people think the Philips is prettier and it has better battery life, operating at maximum volume for 7-8 hours. In size, this speaker is comparable to a man's wallet, but the sound it produces is clear, bassy and loud - it is impossible to listen to it at maximum in an apartment. In general, the device copes with its direct responsibilities with flying colors.
There is another nice feature: if someone calls while listening to music through a smartphone, you can answer the call and talk directly through the speaker. This feature is available in many devices, but it is optimally implemented in PixelPop. Using a speakerphone, you can talk from a distance of about 1 m, and the mutual audibility of the interlocutors remains at a high level. No less pleasing is the “anti-clipping” option, thanks to which sound distortion is prevented even when the battery charge is low. What do the reviews say about the shortcomings? There is only one - there are no volume buttons, it is suggested to change it from the phone.
3 Xiaomi Mi Round 2
Optimal balance of characteristics
Country: China
Average price: 1,890 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.7
Fans of the brand had great hopes for the second generation of the Mi Round series speakers from Xiaomi. Some things came true, but the characteristic “sores”, despite the voice of reason, remained in place. Thus, consumers really liked the updated design and weight and ergonomic parameters, complemented by high build quality. The updated Bluetooth 4.0 module also came in handy, thanks to which the speaker provides reliable connection with the source.
But users had the right to expect more from the sound of Mi Round 2. The built-in 5 W speaker showed a complete inability to reproduce bass, which simply could not be ignored by those who like to listen to music with a predominance of low frequencies. All other playback parameters (HF and MF) turned out to be at their optimum, which is why the situation that arose became a compromise. In general, the speaker is not ideal, but it is definitely worth the money.
2 JBL GO
The most compact and best-selling model
Country: USA (manufactured in China)
Average price: 1,810 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.7
If the previous participant in the rating gained popularity due to its powerful sound, then JBL GO conquered the market with its affordability while maintaining excellent functionality. The speaker comes in a compact case. It even has a drawstring to make it easier to take it out of your pocket. In addition to black, there are 7 bright colors of the device. The body is quite original; in appearance, the speaker resembles a very compact version of a guitar amplifier.
Device Features:
- Compactness. In terms of dimensions, the speaker is smaller than a modern smartphone. Weight only 130 grams.
- Can be used as a headset. The body has call acceptance buttons and volume keys.
- The disadvantage is the relatively short operating time without recharging. (5-6 hours of listening to music).
It is noteworthy that the second version of GO 2 has become even more interesting in appearance and characteristics, with virtually no increase in cost. The sound is different for the better, although the speaker remains the same size, 40 mm. Yes, the bass cannot be called good, but the volume reserve is excellent. And what a color scheme! 12 clever names like Sunkissed Cinnamon or Icecube Cyan - for every taste. Unfortunately, the new product is not designed to hold a charge longer, but for business trips, to the beach or to the country house, you won’t find a better device.
1 Sony SRS-XB10
Good bass. NFC function. Pairing with other speakers
Country: Japan (made in China)
Average price: 3,390 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.8
With the release of the portable speaker SRS-XB10, the Sony brand proved that it can make sound in any format and in any price category. Surprisingly, the baby, which easily fits in your hand, belongs to the Extra Bass series and produces “fat” low frequencies. It’s worth getting two of these devices to pair them and get excellent stereo sound at a decent distance from the source. The only pity is that the proprietary SongPal application does not support this model, so to improve the sound you can select a high-quality recording and work with the equalizer.
Pairing with other devices is easy - via NFC or Bluetooth module. The instructions on what and where to connect consist entirely of clear pictures, so even a child won’t be able to get confused. Users noticed an interesting software function for distributing power across frequencies. Thanks to it, with a significant increase in volume, the lowest and highest frequencies are muffled, making listening to the recording more comfortable without additional manipulations with the settings. The only drawback they complain about is the soiling of the case. However, the speaker has IPX5 water protection, so if necessary, you can simply rinse it lightly.
The best inexpensive stereo portable speakers: budget up to 5,000 rubles.
Stereo speakers generally produce more sound power than mono speakers. They have more capacious batteries. But this also affects portability. The dimensions of such devices are larger, because It is necessary to place 2 speakers at once. But you shouldn’t expect surround sound from such devices. Although the sound comes in 2 channels, the speakers are located close to each other and are mounted in a compact housing.
5 Xiaomi Mi Bluetooth Speaker
A budget solution to problems with “camping” sound
Country: China
Average price: 2,790 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.3
Another representative Xiaomi company is not one of the top series among the entire product line, but is actively in demand as a source of “quality freebies”. Bluetooth Speaker is a good seasonal stereo speaker, designed for lovers of long walks under musical compositions, cyclists and active people in all their diversity.
But with the advent of cold weather, the model is not revealed from the very beginning. the best side. The fact is that many competent reviewers bypass the complete inability there are columns to take out negative temperatures, although such a precedent is present in this model. The batteries begin to fail and lose charge, which is why the speaker switches off within a couple of minutes. Compared to the price, this mistake by the developers does not look the best in the best possible way, but the situation is saved due to acceptable sound, design elaboration (a la Apple) and high reliability in normal climatic conditions.
4 Tronsmart Element T6
Cool design. A developing brand. Circular placement of speakers 25W
Country: China
Average price: 3,140 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.5
Despite the fact that Bluetooth technology trademark Tronsmart appeared only in 2017, and managed to make a lot of noise, literally and figuratively. Of the small assortment of speakers and headphones, the best choice for buyers was the Element T6, which successfully combined an impressive appearance, a very affordable price and clear sound. The speaker has an interesting form factor, reminiscent of a thermos to some. The cylindrical shape (height 22 cm, diameter 7 cm) turned out to be very practical as it does not require much space to fit on an ever-busy desktop. The column looks very impressive in red.
There is no need to be embarrassed by the youth of the brand. He approached his own development with full responsibility - just look at the reputation of 99.3 on a well-known marketplace and his own Russian-language website. And in 2018, Luis Suarez himself, a Barcelona football player, became the face of Tronsmart. Not every manufacturer will allow themselves to collaborate with stars of this level. The sound of the speaker is also noteworthy. For audiophiles, its capabilities will not be enough, but it is impeccable as portable music for the outdoors or in the garage. There is plenty of volume, the mid-bass is good, it plays at 50% power for 14 hours. And the speakers are placed in a circle, which means in a large fun company no one will be bored.
3 Rombica mysound BT-28
Balanced speaker system. Good finish
Country: Singapore
Average price: 4,540 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.7
The first thing that “Rombika BT-28” surprises its buyer with is the size of the box and the speaker itself. In the photo it looks much more compact. This narrows its portable capabilities, but does not limit the technical characteristics of the speakers too much. Elegant finishing made of textiles and eco-leather (an unexpected solution for the cheap segment), together with aluminum parts, turns the device into a very stylish interior decoration. You can safely purchase it for static use at home or at work - it belongs on a shelf or on a table.
And the device sounds very decent: users note a wide dynamic scale, which allows you to vary the volume from very quiet sound to extremely loud, even to the point of discomfort when being nearby. The tone can be adjusted using the equalizer. In addition to manual settings, 3 modes are available: “normal”, “jazz” and “bass”. The purity and balance of sound is also at a high level. Rombica does an excellent job of reproducing even classical and instrumental music, allowing you to fully enjoy its natural sound. And it’s great that universal Bluetooth allows you to output audio from any media – be it a smartphone, laptop or tablet.
2 SVEN PS-420
The best balance of price and sound power (12 W)
Country: Russia
Average price: 1,970 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.8
An inexpensive and powerful device from the domestic brand SVEN has become a kind of reason for pride and faith in Russian production. The acoustic speaker of the PS-420 model was made with a clear emphasis on ergonomic indicators, but unexpectedly for itself (and, perhaps, for the developers) it turned out to be almost ideal in terms of sound.
Actually, the sound here is controlled by two oppositely placed speakers with a power of 6 W each, which cancel out any extraneous noise in the range of up to 5 meters. Yes, they lack a little low frequencies, but competitive environment they simply have no equal. Users were also pleased with other features of the SVEN PS-420, such as the ability to customize playback using an equalizer, intuitive controls, a clear display and an ultra-comfortable carrying handle. Objectively, this is one of the best offers on the domestic market, capable of competing with recognized niche leaders.
1 JBL Flip 4
The best bluetooth speaker for cycling. Improved characteristics
Country: USA (manufactured in China)
Average price: 5,490 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.8
Connoisseurs of good bluetooth music acquire equipment from the JBL Flip series of the 3rd generation, just as the company introduced the 4th. Externally, they are practically no different, and the problem of weak bass is also well solved in the “four” by installing side bass radiators. Global improvements affected the audio range: for Flip-3 it was 85Hz‒20kHz, and for Flip-4 it was 70Hz‒20kHz. Users rated the sound of the new product as “excellent” and “well-defined across the entire spectrum.” When listening to complex musical compositions, you can make out which instrument is playing where, and the balance of frequencies is not distorted as the volume increases.
The “Flip” differs favorably from the older model Charge 3 in size: you just want to throw it into a backpack pocket, or even into a bicycle bottle holder and go somewhere for an active holiday. It is important that on the road or during training you don’t have to worry about the integrity of the device - it is not afraid of either rain (IPX7 water protection) or falling from a small height. What else is important to know about this speaker: its battery life has increased from 10 to 12-16 hours, you can connect up to 100 (!) devices, and if you wish, you can listen to audio files from several sources in turn. If you really want to, you will also find some disadvantages: some people don’t like the fact that “Flips” cannot be used as power banks, while others lack a slot for a flash card.
The best stereo portable speakers: premium segment
Cheap speakers have powerful hardware and can be equipped with a high-quality case and battery. But diffusers for speaker systems are the main element on which the manufacturer is trying to save money. Portable equipment in the premium segment is equipped, first of all, with high-quality sound elements. Such devices may not have an FM receiver on board, but their sound is an order of magnitude better than that of cheap analogues.
4 DreamWave Tremor
The most capacious battery (20800 mAh)
Country: China
Average price: RUB 19,490.
Rating (2019): 4.8
A speaker characterized by a free style and suitable primarily for harsh hiking and off-road battles, rather than for everyday walks or as a set of “distributing” media equipment. Although the DreamWave Tremor was designed and developed in China, there are few obvious differences in quality with its Western competitors. Of course, he failed to reach the level of recognized market leaders in sound, but there is little negative in this. Two speakers of 25 W each do an excellent job of squeezing out maximum bass and very precise high frequencies from a portable stereo speaker. It is noteworthy that the speaker can play in this mode for a good 18 hours, which is facilitated by the presence of a 20,800 mAh battery.
Ultimately, DreamWave Tremor is a free alternative to technologically advanced Western competitors, which has a high price tag, but has every right to exist (and high sales figures).
3 Bang & Olufsen Beoplay A1
The most powerful speakers in the segment (100 Watts)
Country: Denmark (made in China)
Average price: RUB 15,990.
Rating (2019): 4.8
With a power of 100 watts, this speaker is incredibly compact. Its dimensions are only 13 by 4.8 cm. The speaker looks as simple as possible, but at the same time stylish. The appearance was developed by the well-known designer in Denmark, Cecilia Manz.
Key Features:
- The peak power of the speakers can reach 140 watts.
- Pair two Bang & Olufsen Beoplay A1 devices for maximum surround sound.
- The touch keys do not stand out against the background of the body and prevent accidental pressing.
- Incredible autonomy. The speakers can work up to 24 hours while listening to music without the need for recharging.
- There is only one minus: These are the most expensive speakers in the rating. Their price exceeds $300.
2 JBL Xtreme
The best solution for active recreation
Country: USA (manufactured in China)
Average price: RUB 14,790.
Rating (2019): 4.8
Portable speakers for recreation outside the city must not only produce high-quality sound, but also be productive enough to replace the standard system. JBL Xtreme cannot be called a compact audio system. The weight of the device is 2.1 kg, length is 28 cm. However, it is comfortable to wear on the shoulder, thanks to the strap that comes with the kit. The carabiner fastener is made of metal, it is as reliable as the device itself.
Peculiarities:
- powerful bass. Installed 2 speakers with a diameter of 35 mm + 2 subwoofers with a diameter of 63 mm;
- capacious 10,000 mAh battery;
- noise canceling microphone;
- 6 hardware control keys;
- the ability to charge 2 smartphones simultaneously from the speaker.
After the presentation at CES-2018 and the appearance on the market of the updated version of Xtreme 2, the first modification has not lost its relevance. They both sound great both outdoors and at home, both are protected from dust and moisture according to the IPX7 standard, and both can play on a single charge for up to 15 hours. Generations differ slightly in appearance (2 are slightly larger), in number USB connectors(the 1st model has two of them, the 2nd has only one) and the JBL Connect function: the new product already supports Connect+, which means it can communicate with hundreds of other devices.
1 Harman/Kardon Go + Play Mini
Best in sound quality
Country: USA (manufactured in China)
Average price: RUB 17,899.
Rating (2019): 4.8
The Harman/Kardon Go device appeared on the music equipment market several years ago. The Play Mini version is a long-awaited update to the legendary portable player. Despite the high power (2 speakers of 25 Watt), the speaker operates up to 8 hours in playback mode without recharging. Note that the capacious battery and powerful sound did not have the best effect on the portability of the device. The weight of the speaker is 3.4 kg. Therefore, it is unknown where the Go + Play Mini is more appropriate - on vacation or at home.
Device characteristics:
- 2 Ridge tweeters (20 mm) + 2 Atlas woofers (90 mm).
- Frequency range – 50-20,000 Hz.
- 2 microphones for improved sound transmission.
- Proprietary HARMAN TrueStream technology to improve sound and adjust streaming playback via Bluetooth.
The best inexpensive portable speakers 2 in 1 (with subwoofer): budget up to 10,000 rubles.
A subwoofer is an additional acoustic element of an audio system. Its task is to reveal the sound of low frequencies. Speakers with a subwoofer have more surround sound, while conventional speakers perfectly transmit only mid and high frequencies. Usually, speakers with a subwoofer are more expensive than ordinary ones, but also price segment up to 10 thousand rubles you can find decent models. We have prepared a rating of the best portable audio systems with a built-in subwoofer. Your task is to determine the best of the best.
4 Ginzzu GM-886B
Favorable price
Country: China
Average price: RUB 2,323.
Rating (2019): 4.3
A small but weighty new product from China, rapidly gaining popularity among domestic consumers. Like most devices from the Middle Kingdom, Ginzzu GM-886B is designed to play music from as many media as possible (from MicroSD, via USB or Bluetooth) in order to remain competitive in several market segments at once. According to users, it copes very well with playing tracks, which is achieved thanks to the built-in 12 W subwoofer and two high-frequency speakers with a power of 3 W each.
One of the special features of the Ginzzu GM-886B is the presence of an RGB surface on the body to create a light-music effect (which gives it brightness and originality). In general, the model looks good even against the background of obvious leaders, and with the exception of a number of ergonomic and management nuances, there are no obvious flaws.
3 Creative iRoar Go
The best ratio of sound, functionality, design. Wow effect
Country: Singapore
Average price: 8,990 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.6
iRoar Go wireless speakers appeared in 2016, and this was already the fifth generation of Bluetooth speakers from Creative. The model is the first representative of the line, oriented towards outdoor use, however, without serious moisture protection: the IPX6 standard does not provide for immersion in water or getting into sand. Fans of retro design like the appearance of the device - it vividly resembles the 70s and cassette recorders of those times. The quality of materials and workmanship is excellent. To perform direct “responsibilities”, the speaker can be used in several scenarios: via Bluetooth, NFC module, 3.5 mm audio input, microSD card (up to 32 GB) or USB drive (up to 128 GB). The list of supported recording formats includes the most popular MP3 and WMA, as well as FLAC.
As for the most important thing - sound quality, it fully corresponds to the first impression of design and tactile sensations. Loud, rich and balanced, the sound gives a super positive feeling. The bass is good, and users in the reviews note that they are felt not by the body, as with large subwoofers, but by the ears. But the distance between the active speakers is too small to provide a stereo effect at a short distance, and there is also no way to install two iRoar Go speakers in a stereo system. Nevertheless, the device is praised and loved on the market, and today it is considered an interesting proposal in terms of acoustic capabilities and choice of sources.
2 SVEN PS-330
High-quality sound in a compact size. Backlit keys
Country: Finland (manufactured in China)
Average price: 3,720 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.7
Usually, owners of 2.1 audio systems find it difficult to carry them with them due to their impressive size. When going out into nature or to the country, they have to be content with the much more mediocre sound of portable speakers with the usual configuration of two full-range speakers. But with the advent of the PS-330 model in the Sven assortment, the need to compromise disappeared: the developers managed to fit an entire orchestra into a device weighing 1.3 kg (with battery) and dimensions 283x130x122 mm. Two active 2x7 W radiators together with two passive ones and a subwoofer with “honest” 16 W provide excellent sound quality and volume. The bass, as often happens in cheap devices, does not sag at maximum volume, the highs also remain rich, so you can listen to your favorite music compositions with true pleasure even in the noisiest company.
Among the advantages of the device, good ergonomics and a well-thought-out interface should be noted. The manufacturer took care of backlit control keys, a sufficient number of connectors (USB, microUSB, memory card slot, AUX), and LED battery status indication. To ensure the stability of the speaker on any horizontal surface, he added a rubberized protrusion - a small thing, but a nice touch. But what’s missing are equalizer buttons, moisture protection, and at least some fastenings for the carrying belt. But for such a price tag and with such a sound, users are ready to forgive such little things and recommend the device for purchase.
1 Hopestar A6
The most powerful wireless speaker among cheap analogues
Country: China
Average price: 3,410 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.9
Unlike many other models, the A6 is equipped with three active speakers at once, and what kind of ones: two with a power of 8 W each and one 18-watt subwoofer with a diameter of 65 mm. The total output power of the unit is 34 W. In addition, passive radiators are located on its sides, which further emphasize the depth of the bass. Together they provide that signature sound that impresses all listeners without exception. The manufacturer has also provided the possibility of pairing two of the same speakers into a single stereo pair using TWS technology, after which the sound becomes comprehensive, full of the entire musical range, and almost flawless.
Of course, such a design of the speaker could not but affect its dimensions. It weighs more than 2 kg and is similar in size to a decent mp3 player. This is good - with such acoustic capabilities, the device will definitely not bounce on the surface when the volume is cranked up, and it can be made portable using the convenient carrying strap that is included in the kit. By the way, the device copes with the function of an mp3 player perfectly due to USB and SD connectors with support for memory cards up to 32 GB. Judging by the reviews, during operation it shows itself positively, it is not afraid of falls, water and dust, there are no complaints about the sound quality - the bass is good, the treble and midrange too. The only downside is that due to its cylindrical shape, the column constantly strives to uneven surface fall forward.
The best 2 in 1 portable speakers (with subwoofer): premium segment
3 Marshall Stanmore
Unique design in a classic style
Country: England (made in China)
Average price: RUB 26,990.
Rating (2019): 4.6
At first glance, it seems that this is a device from the 50s of the last century - soft colors, adjustment knobs instead of futuristic keys, and a retro-style toggle switch. However, connoisseurs of audio equipment will see here the signature style of Marshall, one of the leading manufacturers of audio equipment of professional taste. All company products have unique style, and Stanmore is no exception.
System characteristics:
- RCA connector, AUX, Bluetooth, optical input, analog connection via a tulip connector.
- 2 speakers 20 watts + subwoofer 40 watts.
- Wide range of HF/LF settings. Ideal for professional musicians, but quite challenging for amateurs at first.
- There is an important disadvantage: Although the column supports wireless connection to a smartphone, it itself is powered from the network and there is no built-in battery on board.
2 Klipsch The Three
Iconic American brand. Pronounced spatial effect
Country: USA
Average price: 35,000 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.7
Back in 1947, Paul Klipsch, a passionate audiophile and acoustic engineer, started a modest hand-built loudspeaker shop that has grown into the most influential player in the professional audio market. The Three speaker is just one of many products under the Klipsch name that amazed spoiled contemporaries with the power and intelligibility of sound, unprecedented frequency width and richness of the sound stage. It can play music of any genre - from hip-hop and pop to rock and classical.
It’s hard to call the device portable – firstly, its image doesn’t allow it, and secondly, it doesn’t have a battery or even a basic carrying handle. But does anyone really want to take this handsome man out into the street? natural wood and regulators made of noble brass? No, this is still a device exclusively for home use. And here, thanks to a full range of modern functions, a rich set of communication tools and original sound, it shows itself in all its glory.
1 Bang & Olufsen Beolit 17
Record autonomy. Premium materials. Signature B&O sound
Country: Denmark (made in China)
Average price: RUB 36,990.
Rating (2019): 4.8
Since the 2000s, Bang & Olufsen has supplied audio equipment to the world's best automobile companies: Audi, BMW, Aston Martin and Mercedec-Benz. However, you can listen to music through a Hi-End device not only while sitting in a premium car, but also simply walking down the street or looking at the sky while lying on a green lawn. To do this, it is enough to become the owner of a portable speaker Beolit 17. Its creators tried in every possible way to emphasize the uniqueness of their creation. Anodized aluminum, genuine leather, rubber and advanced polymer - each material has been carefully selected, tested and refined to perfection.
Keeps up with the chic outer shell internal filling. The model, like the previous 15th, pleases with its amazing autonomy - up to 24 hours. The fact that the charge is really enough for a day of activity has been tested in practice many times. There is nothing to say about the sound - it is unconditionally the best in its segment. This is probably the first time that a portable speaker can compete with a home speaker. And if you add the most convenient equalizer in the Beoplay application of the same name, remember the two 35-watt class D amplifiers and speakers with a total power of 240 watts, there are no questions left. Beolit 17 is wonderful!

Large speakers are good for powerful acoustics, but taking them with you on the road or on vacation is problematic. However, this is not a reason to leave your favorite music at home. A portable speaker will allow you to enjoy loud and high-quality sound in any conditions.
Basic selection options
When choosing portable speakers, decide on the following parameters:
- Number of channels. Monaural models with 1 channel are not as popular as stereo (two-channel), but for those who value primarily compactness and light weight, such acoustics remain the best option.
- Power and frequency range. The greater the power and the wider the frequency range, the more accurate the sound transmission and the more natural the sound, but also the higher the cost.
- Nutrition. If you want to buy compact speakers only for home use or for the office, check whether the device provides mains power. After all, many models are powered only by a battery or batteries.
- Display. Makes it easier to control the device and displays information about the song, its duration, and also shows a list of songs. But prices for portable acoustics with a screen higher than analogues without it.
Additional features
If price is not the main factor of choice for you and your budget allows you to choose functional model, you can buy a portable speaker with wide possibilities. For example, you may find the version with karaoke, MP3 player, charging option useful mobile phone, remote control, with support for Bluetooth or memory cards. If you buy a device with an FM tuner, you can listen to the radio, and the bass reflex will add velvety bass.
The Yulmart online store offers a large catalog with prices, including models of various functionality. Our assortment includes only quality products leading manufacturers. Portable acoustics are sold with delivery in Moscow and other cities.
