Small/Medium Size Bluetooth Speakers

Earfun Uboom L

This page ranks 117 small/medium size powered Bluetooth speakers. The small/medium size powered Bluetooth speaker size is one of the best general use size classes. 1L water bottle sized and light enough to hand carry, but with enough output to fill a bedroom or for a small outdoor gathering. Small enough to usually fit in a water bottle holder and take with you anywhere. The best of these speakers will have no problem filling a reasonable sized room with sound. Outdoors they will sound a bit bass light but are fine for background music. The best here will have bass extension similar to a 5.25” woofer bookshelf speaker. Bigger size class speakers will generally have deeper bass. All speakers are IPX7 or better unless noted.

To the average non-audiophile, generally speakers in the top 50% of this category will likely sound “good” to you. To the critical listener, generally speakers in the top 20% of this category will likely sound “good” to you. Don’t be afraid to pick one of those if you have budget, feature or aesthetic priorities. There’s a lot of good speakers out there.

  • Negatives: Not stereo, barely any bass, recessed treble. You can tell from the micro USB that they are just feeding you the same crap hardware over and over, this is inexcusable for a product released in 2021.
