Best portable mini Bluetooth speakers for 2024

Mini Bluetooth speakers are a must-have for anyone who enjoys traveling. They’re convenient, lightweight, and generally sound quite good despite their size. They make for great pool companions, liven up small parties, and are perfect for camping trips. Their small size and portability means you’ll find uses for them indoors as well, allowing you to carry room-filling sound with you wherever you go.

Top 5 Mini Bluetooth speakers

If you’re looking for a new travel companion to fulfil the above roles, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s take a look at your top options.

1. Croma 25W Portable Bluetooth Speaker

2. PORTRONICS Sound Drum 1 10W Portable Bluetooth Speaker

3. Marshall Emberton II 20W Portable Bluetooth Speaker

4. BoAt Stone Ignite 90W Portable Bluetooth Speaker

1. Croma 25W Portable Bluetooth Speaker

The Croma 25W Portable Bluetooth Speaker is the ideal all-rounder. Featuring a 25W output and a frequency response that goes as low as 80 Hz – i.e. it delivers great bass – this is the unit you want. It even comes with a fast-charging 2,500 mAh battery that can give you 15 hours of use per charge. An IP67 dust and water resistance rating is very welcome, adding to the unit’s durability and versatility as a go-anywhere Bluetooth speaker. We also like the fact that it supports Bluetooth 5.0 for good wireless connectivity and bandwidth.

2. PORTRONICS Sound Drum 1 10W Portable Bluetooth Speaker

While the Portronics Sound Drum 1 10W is a budget mini Bluetooth speaker that retails for less than Rs 1000, it’s hard to fault any of the Portronics Sound Drum’s features. The design is stylish and functional, audio output is great at 10W, the bass goes as low as 70 Hz, and you get a 2,000 mAh Li-ion battery that can power the speaker for 10+ hrs.

Additionally, you get a great mic for hands-free calls, fun LED indicators for a more interactive experience, and a TWS option that syncs multiple speakers together! It’s hard to believe that you can get so much for so little, and that’s why it makes it to our list.

3. Marshall Emberton II 20W Portable Bluetooth Speaker

If you’re looking to enter the big leagues and price is no object, it’s hard to go wrong with the Marshall Emberton II. Marshall is a well-known name in the guitar amp scene, and it’s nice to see that they’re making superb Bluetooth speakers as well. This one goes to 20W, can last 30+ hrs on a single charge, and even comes with an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance. At a little over Rs 17,000, the Emberton II is expensive, but few mini Bluetooth speakers can offer a full, rich, and loud sound of this calibre.

4. boAt Stone Ignite 90W Portable Bluetooth Speaker

For those who are looking for a speaker that packs a serious punch, the boAt Stone Ignite is the way to go. Capable of a whopping 90W sound output, the Ignite is easily one of the most powerful mini Bluetooth speakers you can get. boAt has been very generous with the connectivity, equipping the speaker with Aux, USB, and Bluetooth 5.3 support. Be warned, the high output rating of the speaker results in high power draw, limiting battery life to just five hours. Given that it’s 2-3 times more powerful than most other Bluetooth speakers though, we’re not complaining.

5. JBL Flip 6 20 W Portable Bluetooth Speaker

At one time, the JBL Flip was the definitive portable Bluetooth speaker. The market today is more heavily packed with tonnes of alternatives of course, but that doesn’t mean they’re better than the original. The JBL Flip 6 still is an incredible sounding mini Bluetooth speaker that offers all the features we’ve always loved. This includes excellent connectivity (Bluetooth 5.1), great battery life (12 hrs), stereo sound, and of course, an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance.

Offering a combination of portability, convenience, and quality, it’s hard to argue against the value that mini Bluetooth speakers offer. They’re great to have no matter the situation, and once you get one, you’ll wonder how you ever managed without it.

These are some of the best Bluetooth speakers you can get for the year. Our options include ones from multiple price segments too, so there’s something for everyone. Happy buying!
