The best mid-size Bluetooth speakers – our top list

The JBL PartyBox Encore 2 in review: A compact party speaker with strong bass, a microphone, light show, and plenty of power. But how good does it really sound?

The Teufel Boomster from 2021 is not only a great Bluetooth speaker with rich bass. It also features FM, DAB+ and a powerbank function.

A cube-shaped, pretty portable and light-weight party speaker by Klipsch with mic included offering balanced hi-fi sound and simple operation.

The Panasonic SC-BMAX5 did have some minor weaknesses in the review in terms of features and practice, but in terms of sound it is top for its class.

The B&O Beosound A5 offered excellent sound in the reviewt and scored points with Bluetooth and WLAN connectivity plus a power bank function. Only the high price and the controls are cause for criticism.

With The Three Plus, Klipsch wants to compete with the retro Bluetooth speakers from Marshall. Its wild card is extensive connectivity.

The Klipsch The One Plus is aimed at the small, select circle of retro Bluetooth speakers. It is technically at the forefront with a USB socket for PCs.

The Marshall Stanmore 3 is a really mature bluetooth speaker. It is easy to operate and gets you plenty of bass, SPL and live feeling.

Strong bass, long battery life and powerful sound: the Sony ULT Field 5 impresses in the review as a robust Bluetooth speaker with rich sound.

Sustainable, modular, powerful sound: The Teufel MYND scores points in the review with rich sound, up to 40h battery, IP67 protection & clever repair features.

The Tribit Stormbox Blast is a heavy device for its price range. In review, it heated us up with powerful bass and a light show.

Review: Tronsmart Fiitune X30 with 80 W output, hi-res audio, upward-firing drivers and IPX6 protection. Portable solution for living rooms and outdoors.

The Earfun Uboom X offers bass to the max. Other features such as a light organ, app or power bank are nice extras for its price.

The JBL Xtreme 4 promises more power, better sound, and Auracast. Does the outdoor Bluetooth speaker live up to JBL’s claims in our review? Sound, battery, and alternatives in the check.

The Sony SRS-XG300 is a compact portable boombox with rich sound and lots of cool features. Definitiely an alternative to the JBL Xtreme 3.

JBL´s Xtreme 3 is for good reason the most popular mobile speaker on a shoulder strap, combining party dynamics with hi-fi virtues.

The Orange Box surprised with naturalness and clarity in the review. For the kpmpakte size, it can play very loud and crisp in the bass.

The Marshall Acton 3 offers a stunning performance, homogeneous sound and amazing dynamic range. There is hardly anything comparable in size.

In the test, the 5th generation of the JBL Charge 5 could prove its maturity. Level stability, bass, voice reproduction and level: Everything top!

JBL Charge 6: We test the sound, battery, functions and price/performance. Is the upgrade worth it? All the info on the popular outdoor speaker.

Tronsmart´s Halo 100 looks pretty funny but offers mature sound, astonishing SPL and rich bass given it pretty affordable price tag.

The Tronsmart Bang 2 delivers 90 W of power, stronger bass and a longer runtime. In the review, the party speaker shows clear progress compared to its predecessor.

In the review, the Bose SoundLink Plus shows just how much sound can be packed into a compact Bluetooth speaker. Lightweight, robust, mobile and fresh thanks to the 2-way system.

Review: Marshall´s rather compact Middleton offered massive bass and plenty of dynamics outdoors. In homes, although, there are limitations.

The Tronsmart Bang offers a lot of features and power for the price. However, small compromises have to be made in terms of sound and detail.

The Tronsmart Mirtune S100 amazes in terms of features, bass and maximum volume, even if the sound becomes unclean at high levels.

The JBL Pulse 5 scored with great light effects, good operation and app in the review. Sonically, however, his concept takes a certain toll.

The IKEA Vappeby is a bright and well-sounding no-brainer: For 50 euros, it offers astonishing sound quality and Spotify.

On test: Marshall Acton II, the cult brand’s smallest Bluetooth home speaker combines retro design with balanced playback.

The Tribit Stormbox Lava leaves an ambivalent impression. It offers a lot of bass for the money, but often starts to boom at medium levels.

The Soundcore Motion Boom packs a powerful punch for less than 100 euros.
Its bass lives up to its name in the test, and the battery life is also impressive.

The Marshall Kilburn 2 is a mobile Bluetooth speaker with a stylish retro design that offers a pleasantly rich, unagitated sound.

The Tronsmart Bang Mini promises level and light show for under 100 euros. However, the stately party box showed some weaknesses in the review.
