Best Mini Bluetooth Speakers

By Tinh Lee, December 8, 2021

Oct. 2022 - Small but mighty, these cheap, pocket-sized will be a worthy travel companion.

  • Power output is rated from 3W to 5W
  • Their weight is varied from 50 grams to 200 grams
  • You can attach it to a bike, backpack, go anywhere to the beach or on a hike

Newer models offer better sound, longer lasting battery and Bluetooth connection, advanced codecs and durability. But since they are too small and compact, they can accomodate mono speaker and indeed the sound has its limitations like volume and weak bass performance. 

How we picked?
Multipoint feature
This feature allows a speaker can connect with two source devices at once.
TWS (True Wireless Stereo)
Two or more Bluetooth speakers can connect with an audio source device at the same time.
