INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Looking for the best Bluetooth speaker We can help. We've listened to hundreds of these wireless speakers over the years and have put our
heads together to form a definitive list of the best ones you can buy. Curious what Bluetooth speakers are all about If you want a quick
and easy way to play music around your home or on the go, then nothing beats the convenience of a Bluetooth speaker. Simply charge it up,
pair it to your phone, and you'll be able to play your entire music collection wherever you choose. While the latest set of audio cans can
do amazing things, they previously offered a weak and tinny sound
Improvements in Bluetooth technology meant that they're able to offer a very capable audio experience in their own right
And, better yet, battery capacities have improved such that you can use a Bluetooth speaker for several days on the trot without needing to
recharge it. But all of them are well worth a place in your tech arsenal, and with that in mind, here's our list of our top picks for the
best Bluetooth speakers around
Some are rugged, some are stylish, some are weatherproof and some aren't fit for the outdoors - read through and take your pick. 1

Bose SoundLink Mini IISlightly dated, but still one of the best sounding wireless speakersWeight: 667g | Dimensions: 2 x 7.1 x 2.3 inches (H
x W x D) | Battery life: Up to 10 hours | Wireless range: 30 ft (10 m) | Frequency response: N/A | Drivers: N/A | NFC: No | Bluetooth
version: N/A | Aux-in: Yes | USB charging: NoStellar soundBuilt like a tankCompact form factorNo NFC or multipoint BluetoothThe Bose
SoundLink Mini II is relatively ancient, having been released in June 2015
However, writing off the SoundLink Mini II because of its age would be a mistake, as it remains one of the best sounding wireless
speakers. That said, it punches way above what its size would suggest, producing deep bass, sparkling highs and a lush midrange
While most wireless speakers sound OK, the Mini II proves that small speakers don’t need to compromise on sound.Read the full review: Bose
UE WonderboomOne of the best-sounding waterproof speakers you can buyWeight: 425g | Dimensions: 102 x 93.5mm (H x D) | Battery life: Up to
10 hours | Wireless range: 100 ft (33 m) | Frequency response: 80 Hz – 20 kHz | Drivers: two 40 mm active drivers and two 46.1mm x 65.2mm

confined soundingWhen someone asks us for a recommendation for a waterproof speaker, the UE Roll 2 was always on the top of our list
We loved the Roll 2’s unique form factor, 50-foot wireless range and, obviously, it sounded good, too
Where it was lacking was in the bass department. Logitech, UE’s parent company, has fixed the Roll 2’s lack of bass by creating the
appropriately named UE Wonderboom. In our eyes, the UE Wonderboom bests the Roll 2 in just about every way – except for the Roll 2’s
handy bungee cord. Still, ignoring that, if you’re looking for one of the best waterproof Bluetooth speakers on the market today, it’s
hard to do better than the UE Wonderboom. The UE Wonderboom is still not available in India but we have confirmation about its arrival to
Our global team has tested the device, hence we were sure about putting it on the best Bluetooth speakers' list. Read the full review: UE
Creative Muvo 2CThe best budget Bluetooth speakerWeight: 0.35 pounds | Battery life: 6 hours | Wireless range: N/A | Frequency response: N/A
| Drivers: 1 x full-range | NFC: No | Aux-in: Yes | Bluetooth version: 4.2 | Weatherproofing: Yes-IP66 | Charges devices over USB:
NoFeature-richHas some actual bassBuggy appAdvanced features can be complexThe Creative Muvo 2C is a speaker than punches well above its
weight in terms of its sound quality. This tiny Bluetooth speaker is one of the smallest we've seen to pack its own bass radiator, which
results in much better dynamic range than many other speakers at this price point. Plus, it's also feature-rich in terms of its inputs,
allowing you to play music either over Bluetooth, a 3.5mm jack, USB or even insert a microSD card to play MP3 files directly. Of course,
that being said, if you spend more you'll get a more refined sound, better bass still, and a longer battery life
But if you're looking for a budget speaker than the Muvo 2C is hard to beat at this price. More recently we've reviewed its older sibling
the Creative Muvo 2, which could be an option if you want this same functionality in a slightly larger form factor
However, it doesn't present quite the same value for money as the 2C. Read the full review:Creative Muvo 2C7
Bose SoundLink Color IIA vibrant Bluetooth speaker that packs impressive sound Weight: 544g | Dimensions: 5.25 x 5 x 2.25 inches (H x W x D)

| Weatherproofing: Yes | Charges devices over USB: NoFun, curvy designBooming soundAverage battery lifeOnly splash-proofIt seems just about
every speaker company has a wireless speaker that can take the abuse of being outdoors and Bose, a company most well-known for its brand of
excellent noise-canceling headphones, is no different. If you’re looking for something from Bose to take with you on your next hike, the
SoundLink Color II is the company’s only splash-proof speaker that can stand up to the elements with an IPX4 rating. Read the full

Marshall KilburnVintage looks with excellent soundWeight: 3kg | Battery life: Up to 20 hours | Wireless range: N/A | Frequency response: 62
- 20,000Hz | Drivers: two 3/4-inch dome tweeters, one 4-inch woofer | NFC: No | Aux-in: Yes | USB charging: YesBass and treble
controlsEarth-pounding bassNo playback controlsNot as portable as competitionThe Marshall Kilburn might not appear to be the best choice in
It’s large, heavy, doesn’t have USB charging and isn’t waterproof
Plus, almost Rs 25k is a lot to pay for a Bluetooth speaker. But none of this matters because the Kilburn sounds so darn good. If design
and audio performance are your two most important criteria for a Bluetooth speaker – and they should be – the Kilburn is near
perfect. Read the full review: Marshall Kilburn9
JBL Flip 4A life-friendly speaker that doesn't skimp on soundWeight: 515g | Battery life: Up to 12 hours | Wireless range: 40 feet |
Frequency response: 70Hz – 20kHz | Drivers: 2 x 40mm | NFC: Yes | Aux-in: Yes | Bluetooth version: 4.2 | Weatherproofing: Yes | Charges
devices over USB: NoDecent, rugged designPlenty of bassUnderwhelming mid-range soundSlightly basic looksBringing bluntness over refinement,
the JBL Flip 4 is a good Bluetooth speaker for the rugged outdoorsman in your friend circle
Its rough, tough design makes it perfect as a portable speaker to accompany all aspects of your life without worrying your home audio
system.Its all weather friendly design is a win, but a lack of definition and distinction in the mid-range ultimately means its sound
quality is not quite up to scratch when compared with some, more high-end portable speakers.Read the full review: JBL Flip 410
Bose SoundLink RevolveAn excellent 360-degree speaker for the homeWeight: 680g | Battery life: 12 hours | Wireless range: 30ft (10m) |

NoTrue 360-degree soundBeautiful design and buildOnly 30ft (10m) rangeCharging dock not includedThe Bose SoundLink Revolve is an excellent
sounding speaker for users looking for the true 360-degree sound
It’s great for sharing music during a party or for moving around the room without losing audio fidelity. It continues the company’s
history of excellent build quality and sound and crams it all into a cylindrical speaker you can take with you on the go. On the debit
side, though, it’s also not fully dust or waterproof so you’ll want to think twice before bringing the Revolve to the beach. Read the
