Bring the party anywhere with the JBL PartyBox Ultimate, a speaker that is true to its name. This absolute monster blasts out an earth-shaking 118dB of sound and is better equipped than any other on this list to serve as a powerful home speaker.
Unlike the PartyBox 1000, which is best suited for DJs and storefronts, the PartyBox Ultimate uses modern Bluetooth advances and Wi-Fi support to create a speaker that can be effectively incorporated into your home audio setup. It also comes with IPX4 water resistance, a feature not offered by the PartyBox 1000.
The formula behind its powerful yet accurate sound lies in its dual woofer, multiple tweeters, and dedicated subwoofer configuration. While it retains the classic deep bass found in the PartyBox range, it has a more balanced midrange and highs that audiophiles will approve of.
With an 1100W power output, it’s easy to understand why, like the PartyBox 710 and 1000, the Ultimate relies on a direct AC input and doesn’t have a built-in battery.
Overall, the PartyBox Ultimate is ideal for audiophiles who want a speaker that can get incredibly loud without sacrificing the fine nuances in audio reproduction.
2. JBL PartyBox 1000
Also available from Walmart
Specifications

The JBL PartyBox 1000 is a large, extremely loud speaker that easily fills even large rooms with deep bass. It’s one of the largest speakers in the JBL’s PartyBox series and is best suited to professional use and large parties.
Since it weighs almost 80 lbs and needs a direct power line to work, it’s not the most portable option out there. That’s right, the PartyBox 1000 doesn’t have a built-in battery and instead works better as a stationary speaker that isn’t going to move around much.
When we ran a decibel test on the PartyBox 1000 using one of the more reliable mobile apps, we recorded 116 dB, but we haven’t yet tested it with our measuring microphone (again, not the most portable speaker).
What makes this speaker special, differentiating it from competitors – is its extremely deep and powerful bass that even surpasses that of the PartyBox 710. This speaker is a bass monster, which has made it very popular for demanding environments where a deep thump is essential.
This powerhouse uses a dedicated 12-inch subwoofer that delivers earth-shaking bass, ideal for genres like electronic music and hip-hop. Despite its size, the PartyBox 1000 isn’t completely immobile. Built-in wheels allow easy transportation between locations with AC power access, making it perfect for storefronts, dance studios, or occasional DJ gigs. It might not be the most portable option on this list, but for those seeking a speaker that prioritizes pure volume and powerful lows, the JBL PartyBox 1000 is a bass beast that can get the whole floor dancing.
2. Soundboks 4
Specifications
- Power: 216W
- Battery Life: Up to 40 Hours
- Weight: 35.5 lbs
- Waterpoofing: IP65
Best Suited For
- Indoor & outdoor parties
- Street performers
- Storefront businesses
The Soundboks 4 is the loudest battery-powered Bluetooth speaker on the market, it competes with the large AC-powered JBL Partybox speakers. It’s this combination of power and portability that has made Soundboks one of the most recognized niche speaker manufacturers in recent years.
At 35.5 lbs, it still takes a bit of muscle to move the speaker around, especially if you’re frequently loading in and out of a car or truck. However, there’s just no other way to get these types of volume levels, and using the built-in handles – it’s still possible for one person to carry it.
So who’s the Soundboks 4 for? I’d say it’s best suited to indoor and outdoor parties, events, and large social gatherings and this is in part owed to its sound design.
It has a powerful, thumping bass that could keep the neighbors up all night – so be careful how hard you push it. It is also slightly brighter than its predecessor, the Soundboks 3, which creates clear vocals that are well-designed to cut through wind when used outdoors.
I’ve found that although Soundboks rate the speaker at 126 dB, a more realistic sound pressure level is around 115 dB. This volume still fills large rooms and fairly broad outdoor areas. If you need more power or want to improve stereo separation, use a second Soundboks in a TWS pairing.
The Soundboks 4 isn’t just about power—it’s built for endurance too. Despite its high output, the battery can last up to 40 hours at lower volumes and provides around 12 hours at full blast. The swappable battery design also means you can keep the music going for as long as the event lasts; just bring an extra battery to switch out when you need it.
Designed to handle both indoor and outdoor use, the Soundboks 4 is waterproof, so it’s ready for poolside parties, beach outings, or rainy-day adventures. With its rugged design, unmatched sound output, and versatile features, this speaker is well worth the investment, even with its $1000 price tag. For those seeking a powerful, adaptable, and truly portable audio solution, the Soundboks 4 stands as our top choice, combining quality, durability, and immersive sound.
4. JBL Partybox 710
Also available from Walmart
Features
- Power: 800W
- Battery Life: AC Only
- Weight: 62 lbs
- Waterproofing: IPX4
Best Suited For
- Dance classes
- Home music and karaoke
- Indoor & outdoor parties
- Storefront businesses
The PartyBox 710 is one of JBL’s largest and loudest Bluetooth speakers. It is slightly smaller and more affordable than the PartyBox 1000. It also doesn’t feature the DJ controls found on the 1000 model. Despite being large, the PartyBox 710 is easier to carry than the 1000, and the built-in wheels help transport. While the PartyBox 1000 has a bit more volume, the 710 can hold its own against other PartyBox models and competitors.
Unlike the smaller, more portable PartyBox 320, the 710 is not battery-powered and will require an AC power source, similar to the PartyBox 1000.
The woofers utilize the tuned bass reflex port to provide powerful bass. The lows are punchy but extend far enough into the low end to drive those earth-shaking rumbles. We often find that speakers of this caliber may overemphasize the low end and not have enough treble to compensate, but the PartyBox 710’s dual tweeters strike a great balance in the frequency range.
You’ll find that the treble is still intelligible right through to the upper treble without being excessively harsh. The tweeters do a great job of covering much of the upper mids and treble. This is true for the vocals, which don’t feel drowned out by the bass.
The volume from the PartyBox 710 will exceed anything you need in a personal speaker and is specifically intended for larger areas that need coverage.
Overall, if you’re a fiend for deep bass and powerful sound, the PartyBox 710 is a great choice – it offers impressive volume capabilities and clear, detailed midrange and highs.
5. BOSE S1 Pro+
Features
- Power: 160W
- Battery Life: Up to 11 Hours
- Weight: 14.4 lbs
- Waterproofing: None
Best Suited For
- Buskers & street performers
- Professional use
- Indoor use
The Bose S1 Pro+ is a premium portable PA system with a built-in battery and carry handle, it separates itself from other speakers on this list through its unique combination of portability, power, and being packed with features. It’s not exactly for your casual outdoor speaker, instead being best suited to street performers, karaoke parties, or professional storefront use. However, it is very versatile and not limited to any one use-case scenario.
Weighing just 14.4 lbs, it’s a good choice for buyers who want something portable, but not as stripped back as the Turtlebox, for instance. However, keep in mind that it isn’t waterproof, meaning care must be taken when using it around water or in areas where guests may be placing drinks.
The S1 Pro+ can be thought of as the ultimate entertainment speaker, as it includes a 3-channel mixer with two channels for microphones and another for instruments. You can even go wireless, as it includes RF receivers. Additionally, the speaker’s app support is outstanding, offering EQ adjustments, reverb effects, and a comprehensive array of presets which make getting the perfect sound quick and easy.
It produces powerful bass which is especially punchy, but lacks the same deep bass extension found on larger party-centric speakers. Its mids are balanced and astonishingly clear, even at relatively high volume levels, though there is a slight drop in quality when pushed to the max.
When cranked to max volume, the S1 Pro+ produces 106 dB, which is enough volume to fill even a large room. This sound also carries well outdoors and is one of the reasons why it’s such a popular choice for street entertainers.
Overall, if you’re looking for a versatile speaker that can get extremely loud, while still enjoying the luxuries that come with a PA system, this is the best choice out there. Not only is it extremely loud, but it sounds great too.
6. Soundboks Go

- Battery Life: Up to 40 Hours
- Weight: 20 lbs
- Waterpoofing: IP67
Best Suited For
- Those who need portability
- Indoor and outdoor gatherings
- Parties
Craving loud sound on the go? The Soundboks Go delivers a powerful punch in a portable package. Significantly more affordable and easier to carry than the Soundboks 4 (weighing just 20 lbs), the Soundboks Go lets you toss it in your car or carry it by hand, perfect for pool parties, camping trips, or any outdoor adventure.
The Soundboks Go is rated to provide up to 121 dB of volume, when I tested it at our retail partner, we only measured 105 dB. Still, this is an impressive volume level for its size and can easily fill a medium to large-sized room.
While packing a punch, the Soundboks Go is relatively easy to transport and suitable for regular use indoors and outdoors. Still, its compact size and relatively light weight make it a portable powerhouse. The built-in battery provides up to 40 hours of playtime, keeping the party going all day and night. It uses the Batteryboks, which can also be swapped out in mere seconds to keep the tunes pumping. Durability is a strong point, with an IP65 rating, which means it’s dust-proof and water-resistant, ideal for outdoor use. Just be mindful of the front-facing reflex ports when cleaning.
Overall, the Soundboks Go is a powerful, compact option that retails for around 30% less than the larger Soundboks 4. It provides outdoor enthusiasts with a reliable solution to their audio demands.
7. JBL Partybox Stage 320
Also available from Walmart
Features
- Power: 240W
- Battery Life: Up to 18 Hours
- Weight: 41.7 lbs
- Waterproofing: IPX4
Best Suited For
- House parties
- Outdoor gatherings
- Street performers
- Storefront businesses
The PartyBox Stage 320 is the latest release in the PartyBox 300 series and outperforms the PartyBox 310 in many ways. It is a powerful speaker that produces several more decibels than the 310 at maximum volume while offering better sound quality.
Alongside the PartyBox 120, the Stage 320 is the first in the PartyBox series to support Auracast multispeaker pairing. This new innovation, made possible by the upgraded Bluetooth 5.4 support, allows more than one speaker to connect to the same source device – providing a low-latency pairing, ideal for covering large areas with multiple speakers.
While the PartyBox Stage 320 retains the same driver configuration as the 310, it has a deeper frequency response range, spanning 40Hz to 20kHz. This wider frequency response produces a deep bass that rivals the PartyBox 710. The 320 also sounds brighter and more detailed, with a lot of vocal frequencies sounding particularly vibrant and lively.
It features a replaceable battery that provides up to 18 hours of playtime at moderate volume.
Overall, the PartyBox 320 is a wonderful upgrade to the popular 310 and is great for party lovers who frequently host social events.
8. Sony SRS-XV900
Also available from Walmart
Features
- Power: 100W
- Battery Life: Up to 25 Hours
- Weight: 56.6 lbs
- Waterproofing: IPX4
Best Suited For
- Medium to large gatherings
- Parties with a need for bass
- Home theatre use
This is the largest and loudest of Sony’s portable Bluetooth speakers; it competes with JBL’s PartyBox range and can fill a medium-sized room with powerful bass and clear mids. It offers marked improvements over the SRS-X700, producing more volume and better clarity.
It features omnidirectional sound, using a substantial array of drivers to boost its audio spread. The result is a speaker that sounds great from every direction, allowing it to be placed in the center of a room.
The IPX4 waterproofing helps to protect the speaker from accidental spills or brief encounters with rain while transporting it. Weighing 56.6 lbs, it’s a heavy speaker – which is best for uses where it isn’t frequently moved between locations.
Its built-in, rechargeable battery provides up to 25 hours of playtime at lower listening levels and around 12 hours at higher volume, enough to keep the party going all night.
Overall, the Sony SRS-XV900 is a great alternative to JBL’s PartyBox series. Its omnidirectional sound makes it extremely well-suited to entertaining larger groups of people.
9. Turtlebox Gen 2
Also available from Walmart
Specifications
- Power: 85W
- Battery Life: Up to 25 Hours
- Weight: 10 lbs
- Waterpoofing: IP67
Best Suited For
- Outdoor enthusiasts
- Indoor and outdoor gatherings
- Street performers
For a loud portable speaker that can keep up with a demanding outdoor lifestyle, the Turtlebox is our favorite. Although similar in ways to the Soundboks Go, the Turtlebox is substantially lighter and more compact. The Soundboks Go has better sound than the Turtlebox, but I’ve found it to be more difficult to carry over long distances, whereas the Turtlebox can be used every day without it feeling like a mission to carry along.
The durable outer shell is a key feature of the Turtlebox, and it separates it from similar speakers like the ecoXgear Defender that I cover below. The Turtlebox doesn’t care about fancy features and lighting effects, instead relying on its extreme volume and rugged capabilities, making it ideal for the outdoor adventurer who needs a speaker capable of keeping up.
Turtlebox is rated to provide up to 120 dB, but when I tested the SPL using a measuring mic at one meter, I found the actual volume to be closer to 102 dB. While significantly lower than the claim, it’s still an extremely loud speaker for its size, close in volume to the much larger JBL PartyBox 320.
The Turtlebox isn’t really made for the indoors and sounds best when used out in the open air. That’s because its sound design is made to cut through wind, which is done effectively. The bass is punchy, but not particularly deep when compared to larger speakers on this list. That’s because it uses a single 6×9″ main driver alongside a centered tweeter.
If you’re constantly in the outdoors and want a speaker that can survive the same trials you put yourself through, the Turtlebox is a solid choice. However, if you’d prefer a speaker that sounds good indoors too, consider the ecoXgear Defender, which I cover more below.
10. ecoXgear Defender
Specifications
- Power: 100W
- Battery Life: Up to 25 Hours
- Weight: 10 lbs
- Waterpoofing: IP67
Best Suited For
- Outdoor adventures and camping
- Group gatherings of between 15 and 30 people
- Indoor parties
The EcoXgear Defender is a new release that takes much of its inspiration from the Turtlebox, however, it’s a distinctly different speaker when it comes to sound. It also retails for just $259, making it the most affordable speaker on this list. If you’re on a tight budget but want powerful sound that can fill a medium to large room – the Defender may be it.
Durability is a key feature of this speaker, and although I found the plastic can take a lot of knocks, it is prone to some superficial scratches when moved across rough surfaces. Still, it’s built for indoor and outdoor use, with an IP67 water-resistance rating. You can use it by the pool, at the beach or in the heaviest of rain without any problems.
Its brilliant lighting effects also make it well suited to parties, especially since it also has a microphone input which allows the speaker to be used for karaoke too. These lighting effects can be toggled via the speaker or associated app, but the app quality is definitely a shortfall as it doesn’t do anything other than adjust the lights.
Unlike the Turtlebox, which is designed almost entirely for outdoor use, the Defender has several different EQ presets that can be toggled between from a button on top of the speaker. This gives the Defender more versatility, and when using it indoors I was surprised by how vibrant and clear it sounds. That doesn’t mean it’s not also good for the outdoors though, as a quick EQ toggle and you’ll have it cutting through the wind with its punchy bass and vibrant mids.
Overall, this speaker has incredible value, competing with speakers close to double its price point.
Understanding Loudness: How Many Decibels Do You Need?
Decibels are a measurement, much the same as pounds are used for weight and gallons for liquid. Measuring the decibels of a speaker is done with what’s called an SPL test, where a special microphone or sound level meter is positioned 1 meter from the speaker, and the speaker is turned to full volume. The microphone then measures how much air the speaker is pushing toward it.
Volume, however, is not a linear measurement it’s an exponential curve, and every 10 dB increase in volume represents a doubling of the perceived loudness of the speaker. For instance, a 90 dB speaker will sound twice as loud as an 80 dB speaker.
This is important to keep in mind, as the difference in decibels can often look less meaningful than they actually are.
So how many decibels do you need? That depends on how you plan to use it, but here’s some basic guidelines to help gauge:
Large parties with 30+ guests: 115+ dB
Outdoor parties (20 to 30 guests): 115 – 120 dB
Moderate-sized parties with 15 to 30 guests: 115 dB
Dance studios & street performers: 105 – 115 dB
Kids’ outdoor parties: 105 – 115 dB
Kids’ indoor parties: 105 – 110 dB
Sound Pressure Levels For Speakers On This List
Why Manufacturer’s Volume Claims May Not Align With Third-Party Tests
There are often discrepancies between the manufacturer’s volume claim and the results achieved by third-party testers and reviewers who perform their own tests. So why does this happen?
This problem occurs because of the different ways that volume can be measured. When we here at Outeraudio test a product, we use a standardized approach of playing pink noise through the speaker at a distance of 1 meter. This is the most relevant way to test for consumers, as it accurately captures the volume in a similar way to how your ears would hear it. These pink noise tests cover a broad range of frequencies.
Manufacturers often use different methods of testing, which is great for generating powerful marketing potential but doesn’t translate to the listener. Some ways they do this is to use a line-level input and run a sweep on a single frequency (eg: 1khZ), which returns a higher measurement. They may also use anechoic chambers to perform the test, which results in a higher reading.
Buyer’s Guide: What Everyone Should Know About Large & Loud Bluetooth Speakers
These large and loud Bluetooth speakers don’t come cheap and are considered a significant investment by many buyers. As such, we recommend spending a few minutes understanding what types of features you can expect, and how they differ from everyday Bluetooth speakers.
Big Speakers Can Deliver Big Volume
Since we focus on loudness, most speakers on our list will be large. The driver size is arguably the largest factor influencing a speaker’s loudness. At the same time, not all large Bluetooth speakers are necessarily loud. Following driver size, the manufacturer’s efficiencies will typically contribute to dictating the volume levels. Plenty of large speakers on the market, with large drivers and poor efficiency, are outperformed in volume by much smaller, louder Bluetooth speakers. Speakers, like the Turtlebox, are exceptionally loud relative to their size.
Do You Plan To Use The Speaker Indoors or Outdoors?
Some speakers are made to be durable and are suitable for use both indoors and outdoors. Others are intended solely for indoor use and lack the same durable design found in outdoor-focused models, instead focusing on lighting effects, additional features, or cleaner aesthetics. An IPX4 rating is effective against spills and light splashes, but we recommend opting for IPX5 or IP65 protection or higher for peace of mind in outdoor conditions.
It’s not just weather protection that you should take into account though. Some speakers are designed specifically for outdoor use and their sound design caters to this. Outdoor speakers often have a more elevated bass as well as an increase in the upper mids which help to promote clearer vocals in outdoor conditions where sound sometimes has to compete with the wind.
Multispeaker Pairing: Do You Need It?
A key feature of modern Bluetooth speakers is multispeaker pairing. This is a method of connecting more than one speaker so that they play the same audio, despite only needing to use one source device (ie: a phone).
There are two types of multispeaker pairing. A general pairing can link together multiple speakers, sometimes even up to 100. This is commonly used to fill a house with sound during a large house party or be set up around a venue for broad coverage.
The other type is a TWS pairing. True wireless stereo pairings can only be done using 2 speakers, but the benefit is that in a TWS pairing, each speaker becomes a separate channel, meaning one will play left-channel sounds and the other will play right-channel sounds. This technology is best used to increase coverage and improve quality by creating a more immersive sound.
The Trade-Offs Between Portability and Volume
We define portability as the combination of weight, size, power source, and assisted carrying features. In many cases, there will be a correlation between the speaker’s portability and how loud it is. This is because more sound will typically require more or larger drivers, which adds weight to the speaker. Additionally, huge speakers like the JBL PartyBox 1000 and the PartyBox 710 require a wired power source, which limits portability.
Consider how portable you need your speaker to be. We recommend a speaker weighing under 20 lbs for everyday use, while larger options are more suited to a single location or event use.
Audio Clarity and Balance Is Just As Important As Volume
Sound quality is essential when looking at a list of the loudest Bluetooth speakers on the market. That’s because many speakers excel at their sound quality up to a certain threshold, whereafter there is a degradation in sound quality. However, the opposite is true with some of these high-quality, large Bluetooth speakers. They often require more volume to show their true colors.
Speakers of this magnitude sound best with deep bass, clarity, and detail in the midrange and treble. A wide sound dispersion is also key to covering a large area, especially using a single speaker.
Top Pick
Soundboks 4
The Soundboks 4 is the loudest battery powered Bluetooth speaker. It has a lengthy battery life, is built for indoor and outdoor use, and is relatively easy to carry.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Soundboks 4 louder than the JBL PartyBox 710?
While both speakers can pack a punch, the Soundboks 4 is still a few decibels louder than the PartyBox 710. If you want to compete with the volume of the Soundboks, you may want to look at the PartyBox 1000 instead.
How long do speaker batteries last when played at full volume?
The stated battery life offered by manufacturers is typically under the assumption that the speaker will be played at moderate volume levels. If you’re cranking the volume, you can typically expect a 25-50% reduction in battery life.
How long do large Bluetooth speakers take to charge?
While the charging time will vary between each model, new battery and charging technologies have meant that we’ve seen marked improvements in charging times on Lithium batteries compared to older lead acid variants.
Do I need to wear ear protection when using a loud Bluetooth speaker?
While it isn’t always necessary, if you’re close to a loud Bluetooth speaker with its volume turned up, we recommend taking precautions with ear protection. Any sound at or above 85 dBA will likely damage your hearing over time. This is especially true for longer listening periods and in closed spaces.
Have you heard of the Devialet Gold Phantom?
Kenneth – we have indeed! We left it out on our original list because it was so next level (price-wise as well) from the other contenders You’ll be happy to hear we’ve included a special section about the Devialet Phantom at the bottom of the article now. Check out the video. Love that guy!
My favourite blue tooth speaker so far is my anchor soundcore 2. Compact, long battery life good sound and doubles as a charger. Waterproof and shock resestant as well.
I still really like my old BOSE Wave Music System. It didn’t come with bluetooth, but did come with a bluetooth receiver that you plugged into it. It plays music from my devices very well. The sound is really good.
We have a little Bose speaker that seems to be doing the job for us right now (well, it’s my daughter’s actually …!), but I haven’t got anything to compare it against!
So on the recommendation of a friend we got an earlier-version of the Oontz shown here…and wow! The sound quality is great, and we’ve had very long playing times. Another to take to the beach would be perfect!
I like the Anker Soundcore 2! I prefer something easy to carry around! I can bring it to the beach, toss it in the car for road trips, etc. without sacrificing volume!
I love my UE Roll 2! I take it with me anywhere I go, lot battery life, ok sound. I can strap it to anything, my kayak, backpack, mountain bike handlebars. It comes with a small life floatie for it to take in the pool. Just an all around great speaker. You can even connect 2 together for better sound.
My boyfriend has a OontZ Angle 3 portable speaker and we love it. We take this speaker with us whenever we travel because it is so small and portable. I use it every time I shower or go on an outing because the sound quality is loud enough to hear over other noises. It is easy to use and wireless which makes it so convenient for us to use with our mobile devices. In addition, the battery life is great. It lasts us weeks at a time without charging. Lastly, the price of the speaker is very reasonable for the amazing quality. Thank you for this opportunity!
I have owned the OontZ Angle 3 speaker for several years and it is fantastic. Its very small build quality is convenient for portability and sleek design with nice silicone end pieces. The speaker has excellent sound with surprisingly good bass. The big surprise is the volume. I can take a shower and still hear the sound quality perfectly over the noise of the running water. The battery life is great, and it doesn’t lose much over time either. I use the speaker on every travel expedition I take from cruises, to family getaways, to an outing to the beach with my girlfriend. We love this speaker and would love the opportunity to have another one! Thank you!
From the list my favourite would have to be Anker Soundcore 2 Bluetooth Speaker because it’s the lightest; I’ve scoliosis so I only carry lightweight things.
I’ve a speaker gifted to my by my bosses. I like it so far because I can plug-in a memory card, it’s with a bluetooth function, has blue light (though I prefer it to be red light for sleep; I’m a child care worker), it’s bottom has anti-slip thing(when we clean it before and after setting it down on a surface), and it’s very affordable (elementary school student price)
My favorite speaker is one that is small and portable with awesome, big sound capability.
I’m looking for a Bluetooth speaker that is compact yet has premium features. Quality construction is important. Of course decent power is important. Being able to deliver a rich tone is paramount to my wishes. I would want a high end speaker with all the trappings one would expect. That includes WiF, AirPlay, Spotify Connect and Web Radio. A long-lasting battery would be great. I would be listening to the speed and transfer of the speaker and it’s ability to maintain the desired frequency. I would love a built in microphone and Alexa enabled feature.
What I’m looking for in a Bluetooth speaker is sound quality, durability, reliability, an aesthetically pleasing design, reasonable cost, long battery life, short charge time, and a neutral sound signature. Good sound range is also important to me, I want one that can play the deepest bass as well as the high notes. I also need one that is easy to use and doesn’t have complicated controls. A mobile app would be nice but isn’t a dealbreaker for me. A good warranty would be another plus but I wouldn’t consider it absolutely necessary. Being waterproof would be great. I would also like Wi-Fi connectivity.
Best article on the internet about portable speakers in 2020, PERIOD.
By the way, there is a typo “Battey” instead of “Battery” on a few of the speaker profiles.
Jordan – thank you for the kind words, and thank you for pointing out that typo. Much obliged.
I have checked a few of these online forums for the best speaker, Why doesn’t anyone have the monster super blaster on their lists? This speaker is absolutely amazing. It’s high priced and heavy but so worth it. Have you checked this speaker out? Thanks for all you hard work and letting us know which ones are your best, I’m going to check into a couple of these to see how they compare to what I already have.
Hi have just received my Soundcore Mini 3.Am a young music loving 72 year old and this is a brilliant piece of kit for listening to my music collection on my phone.To get a good stereo sound would buying another of these do the trick?.One criticism is the very limited data supplied with it.Not able to understand the full capability of the Speaker..ie the Multifunction button?.As you can tell my technology knowledge is basic and would like more details.
Have you heard from the Abramtek E500 or E600? Could beat some of these for a fair price.
Jose – yes we have heard of the Abramtec E500 and E600. The 100W E600 (in 3rd party tests) produces about 95dB and the 200W E500 about 100dB. While that brings it in line with the speakers on this list, they are not the loudest by far. The biggest issue with the Abramtec speakers is that they are not that readily available in the US.
