r/Bluetooth_Speakers

Hey everyone, I recently put together this video to help first-time buyers make the right choice when picking out their first Bluetooth speaker (or their next one).

I cover a few things that aren't always obvious from looking at the specs, and some lessons I've learned from testing a ton of Bluetooth speakers over the years.

Hope it helps!

I've been using older smartphones connected to the stereo in my garage and my living room to stream music. It works great except that the phone has to be plugged in at all times. Both of the phones that I've been using now have swelled batteries and I don't feel comfortable using them anymore. Is there a budget ​standalone component that can serve that same purpose without risking burning the house down? Less than $50? "!Thanks.

I live in Washington in the United states, and" I am using an older Sony amplifier receiver combination.

Ok so I need some help deciding what to do here.

I want to get a Bluetooth speaker and I'm deciding between either 2 SRS-XB100's or one good speaker for a similar price as I might pay for both of these. What do yall suggest?

I've seen people saying that 2 SRS-XB100's is nice because of the stereo mode, but whats it like in comparison to one speaker? BTW I've never had an SRS-Xb100.

I'd mostly be using it for work (on my desk, I work remote, maybe other places in the house), in the yard maybe while grilling and sometimes at the beach.

Any suggestions appreciated, thx!

My dad got a party box 120, and I was planing on using it for I house party I got on Saturday. We got about 40-50 people pulling up and the speaker is gonna go on this balcony on the second floor which is pretty big. We want the inside of the house to not be at as loud do you think the speaker will give the loud vibe on the balcony and the second floor while giving the rest of the house space. I tested the speakers outside, and I stood a good 30m away, and it stayed pretty loud. I do have the option of getting proper speakers but it feels like a lot of hassle

Hey zusammen,

ich bin aktuell auf der Suche nach einer mobilen Musikbox und schwanke zwischen der JBL PartyBox 520 und der Teufel Rockster Air 2.

Der wichtigste Einsatzzweck wären bei mir Feste/Veranstaltungen, wo die Box(en) eher als kleine PA-Anlage dienen sollen. Zusätzlich möchte ich sie auch für kleinere Partys, Gartenpartys etc. nutzen.

Ich würde die Box zweimal kaufen, damit ich sie als Stereo-Paar betreiben kann.

Aktuell habe ich diese beiden Modelle im Blick und könnte sie für ungefähr 500 € pro Stück bekommen:

• JBL PartyBox 520
• Teufel Rockster Air 2

Welche würdet ihr für meinen Einsatzzweck empfehlen?

Oder gibt es in der Preisklasse um 500 € pro Box noch ein ganz anderes Modell, das ich mir unbedingt anschauen sollte? (JBL EON)

Mir sind vor allem Lautstärke, Klang, Bass, Sprachverständlichkeit wichtig.

Bin gespannt auf eure Erfahrungen und Empfehlungen

I’ve been using a really cheap speaker for a while and the sound is starting to bother me, especially with music that has a lot of bass. I’m looking to spend more or less $700 on something that sounds full but still has clear vocals and instruments. I’ll mostly use it indoors, with some occasional backyard use. What would you say is the best bluetooth speaker for this? Thanks for the help!

Hi everyone, I looked on the Internet and I didn't find any answer I hope to find some suggestions otherwise it means that I threw money away. About a year ago I bought two Marshall Acton 3 speakers and I am very happy with the sound performance and the flawless Bluetooth connection even at a distance. Unfortunately I had bought them to place them in 3 different rooms (I already had another one of Marshall Acton 3 speaker) to make a multiroom effect (I think it's called that) that is, that you could hear the same music with the phone app in all 3 rooms. Unfortunately I read that the speaker app no longer supports this function. The alternative is to connect all 3 speakers with a wire all 3 speakers but also understand that it is not the best to see wires in all rooms. I was asking if anyone had had the same problem as me or if by chance there were alternative apps or something else to share the speakers. I forgot the speakers only work Bluetooth or cable they don't have a wireless connection. Thank you, any suggestion will be very welcome.

Want to get a boombox for house listening and also in the car listening, because my cars speakers suck.

I have been looking at the harman kardon go+ play 3, which i could get as an outlet product for 177€.

Every sub reddit I have been to so far has some niche products that blow the mainstream stuff out of the water, so I am open for recommendations.

Budget should be around 200€.

Also based in Finland so amazon isn't really viable due to the expensive shipping.

Hey guys do you know any portable speaker that has sd card slot with little screen so I can know what I am playing?

What is best bass speaker for outdoors? I have had boom 2 and boom 2 plus. Are they the best?

Looking for a small portable speaker under $50 and seen a lot of good reviews about the StormBox Micro. The Micro 3 is currently $50 vs $40 for the Micro 2 on amazon. Is the model upgrade worth the price difference?

Title somewhat sums it up.
I need a cheap wired speaker to use so I can hear audio with ps3, and ps4. My current monitor does not output audio. If need be, I can upload a picture of the back of my monitor to see which plugs I need. Thank you very much.

Heya! I'm trying to buy myself a mini speaker. My options are the soundcore Select 4 Go, JBL Go 5, and the Tribit Stormbox 2.

Hi, I hope y'all find well. A friend is seeking for a better equipment for her musical performances on the street, has a xboom speaker but we think it doesn't work really well for her necessities. We don't have that much of budget for professional stuff, but we're interested in some point upgrade the stuff.

In the performance there is no opportunity to connect to electricity, so it needs to be previously charged, and this are performance in crowded areas, and the equipment suppress the audio of her singing. So I would appreciate it a lot if you have recommendations for this case and make this more events have more presence on the area without the sound suppression problem

I would appreciate if there are recommendations that could be found on marketplace or second-hand products

Hello I’m asking this question of behalf of my friend who does not have Reddit. She’s a music teacher and needs a speaker that’s as good as like a JBL Charge 5 but not as expensive. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated! thank you!

I see others have asked this before, but it’s been a few years and new stuff is always coming out. I’ve had a megaboom 3 for like 8 years now and it did great work but at high volume it’s starting to distort and sound gross. I’d surely buy a new megaboom but I’m interested if there’s anything better in the price range that also holds up to outdoor play. Right now I’m leaning towards a refurbished soundlink max.

What do yall think?

I know it's very overpriced, even if there are some for 1k on Ebay right now, but I'm unfortunately in the market again for some top quality Bluetooth speakers, and these tick every box exceptionally. Cost aside, are there any others that have a similar level of detail and can get as loud if not louder?

I have a special use case of needing a speaker to play my instruments to outside (primarily the saxophone), so balanced, loud, and portable are my priorities, in that order.

Used to own a Beosound Level that, minus the software issues, I seriously loved. They were just about loud enough. Got them for cheap on Drop, but as of last night they have been stolen... They had a directional, accurate detail about them that worked really nicely however, even though the bass was a little lackluster. So yea, just trying to find a good enough replacement.
