The Tribit PocketGo will be your new best friend. For less than $30, this Bluetooth speaker packs one heck of a punch in the sound department, and with some very minor EQ adjustments in the Tribit app, it quickly became my go-to speaker for everything from outdoor adventures to my shower playlist.

On top of that, it’s the ultimate rugged speaker. Its IP68 waterproofing and military-grade drop protection make it perfect for long hikes in unpredictable weather. And I do mean long hikes because the speaker has a total battery life of 20 hours, making it ideal for a weekend camping trip.

The Edifier ES20 is a powerful and stylish speaker. I mean, seriously, just look at it. The metal covering. The faux leather perimeter. The gold detailing. She is a vision.

And for under $100, the Edifier does a good job of creating a huge sound despite its tiny size. It even offers stereo pairing if you have multiple speakers. It works best with pop and electronic music at higher volumes, but this is ideal for me when I want to soundtrack my friend/’s get-togethers.

It offers 12 hours of battery life, which isn’t as much some competitors. but it’s still enough to last me a couple of days. I like to keep this speaker on my desk at home so I know I have something great to soundtrack my work day.

The Flip series from JBL has long been a favorite of mine. They always seem to nail the sound while keeping the size suitably portable. And the JBL Flip 7 is no exception to that rule. You can also choose from seven colors, so this speaker becomes a real statement.

This speaker can last you up to 16 hours between charges, so this compact speaker packs a lot of juice. But the sound quality will win you over here. The vocals and trebles are detailed and clean, while the bass offers plenty of that famous JBL oomph.

It’s also pretty rugged, with the ability to survive against sand, dirt and water.

The Edifier ES60 adopts the same styling as the ES20, just on a larger scale. But this is still very much a compact speaker. This speaker has bass for days, and can support some of my favorite bassy tracks from the likes of Twenty One Pilots.

But this is going to be a speaker you want to keep at home since the battery life is only 9 hours. Still, it can provide great sound for its small stature, and that’s all I want from a portable speaker.

The Marshall Kilburn III isn’t just a pretty face — it’s a powerhouse of sound quality. The battery life is totally impressive, and the on-device time controls make keeping the music going easier than anything else.

This is one of the best-looking speakers out there, but that’s no surprise given that this is a Marshall speaker. But what really wins me over? The epic 50-hour battery life. This speaker can literally last me weeks without needing to charge it up.

It produces sound with epic bass, perfect for listening to the likes of Charli XCX, and that makes it something of a party monster. You’re never going to be let down by the sound here.
