Sonically, the Bose SoundLink Revolve+ is a winner. And its solid, water-resistant build makes it a versatile party speaker. That said, like all Bose products, the Revolve+ feels a smidge overpriced at $300. For the same amount of money or less, we're...

It's pretty clear that the SoundLink Mini boosts bass, but mostly in the low-mids and lows rather than the sub-bass realm. In fact, sub-bass can get limited by the speaker's DSP, depending on the volume level. All this considered, this is probably the...

Performance and Conclusions The Kilburn can get quite loud — if you top out the volume on your device and the speaker itself, the speaker doesn't distort. Even pumping up the bass EQ all the way and playing a track with intense sub-bass, like The Knife...

The JBL PartyBox On-The-Go is really a great device, and it does what it sets out to do and does it well. Since this speaker doesn’t use an app, I’m not sure if JBL can improve battery life with an update, but it would be nice to see battery life...

Conclusions Yes, the B&O Play Beoplay A1 is expensive, but your money is going toward a powerful, bi-amplified system that outperforms most small Bluetooth speakers we've seen. If the A1 is out of your price range, there are less expensive...

As you should expect, Google Assistant works just fine here to deliver a “smart” speaker experience. But, Panasonic doesn't deliver on its promise of high-quality audio, and the GA10 is much pricier than a lot of its competition.

No matter the mode, the Sony SRS-XB3 provides a bass punch that we rarely hear in speakers this size and price. If you're looking for a portable Bluetooth speaker in the sub-$200 price range, this is the one to get—you can consider the water-resistant...

If you're in the market for a radio, rather than a smart speaker on which to listen to radio stations, and you want it to both look the absolute business and sound very agreeable in most circumstances, Ruark has you covered. It'll cost you, mind.
