#Boom 2 app bluetooth portable#
If you want a portable bluetooth boom box at half the size with slightly more refined sound, check out the Anker Soundcore Motion Boom Plus. It also can be used as a backup battery to charge your smartphone or other mobile device. It also travels well, so it's ideal for a beach excursion or a little tailgating. For the record, the Motion Boom actually does float and it's got an IPX7 waterproof rating.Īnker says the Motion Boom delivers "huge stereo sound" and, yes, this portable bluetooth speaker plays pretty loud and has a decent amount of bass with reasonable clarity - but I wouldn't call it huge and there's not much stereo separation (I kept the bass boost on at all times because the speaker sounds better that way.) It can't compete against bigger and more expensive speakers like JBL's Boombox 2 ($400) and Ultimate Ears' Hyperboom ($400), but it packs a lot more volume and punch than more compact Bluetooth speakers like JBL's Flip 5 that cost around the same. Equipped with a handle and weighing a little over 4 pounds, the speaker reminds me of one of those giant flashlights or "floating lanterns" that were in vogue about 30 years ago. It's kind of a poor man's version of JBL's well-regarded Xtreme 3 speaker, which lists for $350. To be clear, this offers bigger and better sound than the JBL Boombox 2 - but it is harder to carry around.Īnker's Soundcore Motion Boom is what I'd call a mini portable boom box speaker. This is your best bet if you want a portable speaker that can deliver big, quality sound and operates on battery power. The upcoming PartyBox 710 ($800) is a massive party speaker that has integrated wheels and requires a power source to operate it does not have an integrated rechargeable battery. But it does deliver enough volume to fill a spacious living room with sound and also plays loud enough for a small pool or beach party. For longer parties during which you're really cranking the tunes, you'd want to plug the speaker in if possible. I also liked how the speaker has no external AC adapter brick and only requires a cord for charging (the power adapter is in the speaker). I didn't test the stereo mode, but I was impressed with the sound of a single PartyBox 110 - this bluetooth device puts out lots of well-defined bass with good overall clarity in the highs and mids - and I suspect that pairing two of these together would be pretty awesome. It's also worth noting that the speaker is IPX4 splash-proof and you can wirelessly link two PartyBox 110 speakers together for stereo sound.
The speaker has Bluetooth or a wired USB connection and there are guitar and mic inputs. It's rated for up to 12 hours of playback time at moderate volume levels and has a redesigned light show that syncs to the beat of your music (you can customize the light show from the speaker itself or use the JBL PartyBox companion app). You can put this bluetooth boom box up vertically as shown in the picture above or place it horizontally, as it has rubber feet on both sides of the speaker.
There's an integrated handle for toting the speaker, but the PartyBox 110 is pretty hefty, weighing in at 23 pounds and measuring slightly more than 22 inches tall. JBL's new-for-2021 PartyBox 110 packs some serious punch and delivers bigger sound than some of the portable boombox speakers on this list, including JBL's own Boombox 2 (see below).

I've personally listened to all of these (or, in the case of the Soundcore Trance Go, its nearly identical sibling speaker). Since these are designed for everything from camping trips to tailgating to pool and beach parties, they're all fairly rugged, with most offering a good degree of water resistance and several being fully waterproof. But if you want to go loud, the battery life drops to more like 3 to 5 hours. All of these bluetooth boom box options are designed to play a long time at moderate volume levels on the go. They also have built-in straps or handles for transport. The powerful higher-end models require a bulky AC adapter - not just a standard USB phone charger and cable - for charging. The speakers on this list weigh a minimum of 6 pounds (2.7 kg) and some weigh a lot more than that. They don't always look quite like the boom boxes of yesteryear, but they're still sometimes referred to as wireless boom boxes. But if you're looking for monstrous sound with thumping bass, you have to step up to one of the jumbo models. You can play your favorite music on the go with a supercompact portable Bluetooth speaker that travels well and weighs just a few ounces.
