Sonitrek Go XL Smart Bluetooth 5 Portable Wireless Waterproof Speaker With Bass Boost Dual Pairing (Green Camo)

Product Information

But Tribit has made no secret of wanting to bring the party to both your ears and your body, and it has emphatically delivered. This thing can go loud and still sound good when it does. If you're worried whether one speaker will be enough for the garden party, it will here – and for this money, it represents unbeatable sound-per-pound value. You want an aux-in for wired listening: The only port you'll get here is a USB-C two-way charger –although it does charge your phone.The Cleer Audio Scene has this, though.

You’re a frequent beachgoer: The Scene’s IPX7 rating means it’s at risk to fine particles, like sand, so it's not great for the beach.

Customer reviews

There are several key things you'll need to consider when you're looking for the best Bluetooth speaker. Absurd battery life with USB-C rapid charging. The Go XL itself will play continuously for 14+ hours, a feat we tested over several days. Not only that, but the included USB-C charging cable offers a full charge in under 30 minutes. No, that is not a typo. We were able to recharge in under 30 minutes via USB-C. That’s stunning, and makes us wonder why speakers from other brands costing 3-4 times more have just a third of the battery life and take over 90 minutes to recharge. We've tested and thoroughly reviewed all of the Bluetooth speakers in this guide ourselves by listening to them on their own and by comparing them to the current class-leaders. Basically, if it's listed here, you know we think it's worth it over the myriad rival models we've reviewed (because plenty do not make it here, believe us). A bass-heavy audio performance makes it ideal for use outdoors, because during our testing we found it's powerful enough to cut through wind noise. Meanwhile, a clever Automatic Switching feature means it seamlessly becomes part of your Sonos Wi-Fi multi-room setup indoors. It’s not perfect – it’s heavy as a byproduct of its incredible sound, and it’s expensive due to its rich feature set. This is not a speaker for taking on a hike; it's for taking into the garden. It's also not waterproof, though it is splashproof. But if you’ve got the money, it’s hard to fault the Sonos Move when it comes to getting high-quality sound in or out of the home.

Smart speakers add a bit of complexity and a bit of expense, though, and as a result most of the devices in this guide don't have them: they are simply designed to play your music. However, the ones that do can have the feature switched off or the microphone muted if you don't want your speaker to listen to you when you're listening to it. The Cleer Audio Scene is a mid-range Bluetooth speaker and it is going to upset some premium rivals. In our review we noted that this speaker seems designed specifically to compete with the JBL Flip 6, which enters our list just a few spots further up. However, although the Audio Scene looks similar, it's also newer, has a slightly lower price tag, and a few extra features that might tempt you away from JBL. We've been testing the best portable speakers for years, in all sizes and shapes – and, crucially, for all budgets. People aren't typically looking for audiophile sound quality here, but they do want something portable that delivers balanced and full audio outdoors (because if you're going to buy something, it might as well sound good, right?) and with a battery that lasts and lasts. These are our priorities when we're testing these speakers, and obviously we're balancing that with the price – otherwise known as value for money.You want audiophile sound: The Roam's audio performance isn't bad by any means, but the bass frequencies can be overwhelming.
