Bluetooth speakers are now available in every imaginable shape, color and performance class.
AllesBeste took a close look at some models.
In addition to the well-known top dogs, there are also increasingly unknown brands and interesting concepts on the market for portable music enjoyment.
Depending on the music genre and target group, the requirement profiles for a Bluetooth speaker differ considerably.
The art is to meet all requirements as much as possible, in that the loudspeaker ideally reproduces the music exactly as it was intended: Sure, with many ups and downs.
The sound quality is primarily dependent on the size of the loudspeaker, because the more volume is available for generating the sound, the more voluminous the resulting sound - logically.
But because you don't always want to lug around a large loudspeaker, manufacturers are increasingly trying to cheat the laws of physics and conjure up ever stronger sounds from ever smaller enclosures.
Because despite these efforts there is still a clear difference in the size of the loudspeaker, the speakers for the test were divided into four different categories.
If you are thinking about purchasing a battery-operated Bluetooth speaker, you can expect the battery to last between eight and 16 hours at room volume - exceptions in both directions naturally confirm the rule.
Because the range of a Bluetooth connection can easily be 50 meters or more, in most cases there is no need to worry about the connection.
Bluetooth speakers in the test: This is the test winner
The test portal AllesBeste tested 136 models in different sizes in cooperation with the editorial team.
In the smallest category, the mini Bluetooth speakers, the test winner from
Bose is
: The
Soundlink Micro
elicits surprisingly powerful and clear sounds from its small housing.
In addition, the housing only looks robust, but is also protected from dust and water.
A disadvantage of the Bose, however, is its price, for which you could also get larger models.
The category of small Bluetooth speaker is from
Bang & Olufsen BeoSound A1 2nd Gen
cited.
Like all products from the Danish manufacturer, the loudspeaker is superbly processed and looks very chic.
The sound of the Beosound A1 2nd Gen can be described in one word: phenomenal.
However, if you want more bass, you can't avoid buying a medium-sized Bluetooth speaker.
In the test, the
JBL Xtreme 2
turned out to be
an absolute party animal.
It delivered a rich sound with powerful bass and high levels, which you could enjoy for 15 hours thanks to its 10,000 mAh battery.
If you don't compromise on sound and prefer to lug around a bit more, you are in good hands in the category of large Bluetooth speakers.
The
Boomster XL from hell
is a mobile stereo system.
With a width of 37 centimeters, you think twice about lifting the colossus off the living room shelf.
In terms of sound, the devil has almost no weaknesses: the giant was full, clean and loud in the test.
