#1 VAVA Voom Premium Portable Bluetooth Speaker

The VAVA Voom Premium is one of the loudest bluetooth speakers you can find in the market. Compared to many other bluetooth speakers we’ve heard over the years, this rates up near the top for sound quality, build quality, features and appearance. If you are looking for a cheaper option to more expensive brands such as the Bose SoundLink Mini and the Creative Soundblaster Roar, you will definitely be blown away by the performance of the VAVA Voom.

These loudest bluetooth speakers feature powerful and dynamic audio with two 5W drivers, two passive radiators, a 10W subwoofer, plus aptX technology for sublime audio performance. It also comes with a decent handsfree feature for your smartphone, and has EQ with three settings: standard, party and surround. The VAVA Voom supports wireless streaming, and you can use Wifi to play and wirelessly stream music at all times. The super long lasting battery provides 10 hours of music playtime, keeping this loud bluetooth speaker powered from dawn to dusk.

We were seriously not expecting a speaker at this price to sound as good as this one does. It had solid bass and clear mids and highs in the “Standard” EQ mode. A very good balance of sound. When certain music is played in the “Party” EQ mode, the bass is more pronounced and very punchy. Not all music will sound better in the party mode. In fact, some bass-heavy-to-begin-with music will sound worse in party mode simply because the sound will become too bass heavy and muddled. The Surround EQ mode is magical when certain types of music are played. If you sit a few feet away from the speaker you will be immersed in sound that seems to be coming from all directions. It’s like being in a concert hall.

Finally, the design and appearance of the VAVA Voom is superb. It comes with a full-wrap-around metal grill with all the controls on the top. The buttons are flush with the top and sculpted. Your finger goes “into” the button a little bit and there is no doubt that you are pressing a button as opposed to some speakers that either have “touch” surfaces or rubberized membranes over the actual buttons that feel indistinct when pressed.

The Verdict? The VAVA Voom is one of the loudest bluetooth speakers you can find at this price range, is superbly well-build and very solid, and produces surprisingly good sound. Given the sound that this bluetooth speaker produces, we have no doubt that this is a high quality product – even with the parts on the inside and outside, everything is well done and top-notch. At the time of writing, theVAVA Voom is now selling at a very good price with free shipping, so don’t forget to snap it up fast while the price is low!

The bass that this speaker produces is clean, powerful and punchy, and is enhanced by the passive bass radiator which produces a decent amount of passive bass. Although this cannot be compared with the bass from a dedicated subwoofer, the bass is still very impressive coming from a speaker of this size.

Apart from good bass, the speaker produces rich mids and incredibly crisp highs – we were very impressed that so much quality sound was coming from these speakers. The audio performance on classic rock felt smooth and buttery throughout, with decent separation and very clean, crystal clear sound. You can really hear the details in the music from each soundtrack and the overall sound performance is quite breath-taking.

#4 Anker Premium Stereo Bluetooth 4.0 Speaker

If you are looking for a high performance Bluetooth speaker at a cheaper price, the Anker Premium 4.0 Bluetooth Speaker is definitely something to be reckoned with. It produces huge stereo sound – you can enjoy crisp, clear audio with impressive volume powered by dual ten-watt drivers. The combined 20W output is the highest available in this price range. It also features MaxxBass technology and two passive subwoofers for enhanced bass performance, allowing you to hear the soaring highs and deep lows of all your favorite tracks.

Compared to the more expensive Bose Mini SoundLink option, the two devices have much in common, having a similar shape and aesthetic. The Anker is about an inch wider (still delightfully portable), but they share the curved appearance. From a functional perspective they are identical – they do the core functions brilliantly, but don’t offer microphones or NFC features for example. Bluetooth performance is quick, and set up is simplistic (on an iPhone 6 in this instance). Battery life is pretty much identical.

Where are savings made? Well the Anker is a plastic case (albeit a lovely, robust one), with a fabric speaker cover, rather than the fully-aluminium Bose. There is no docking station. There is no charger plug, just a USB cable (and a 3.5mm jack). You can charge from and USB socket. If you have a limited budget, then the Anker Soundcore Boost would be a good choice for under $100 (you can see more low-cost options in this cheap bluetooth speakers review).

But when it comes to sound, the Anker really holds its own. It has great bass for such a small device and feel really sharp. When you ratchet them both up max, we reckon the Bose gets a bit louder, but we have never taken the volume to that level under normal circumstances. But in a blind test with friends, at normal volume, it was pretty much fifty-fifty.

So, yes, the Bose is the more ‘complete’ device, but it’s nearly four times as expensive. Pound for pound, the Anker definitely wins it – the money has gone where it matters, in making it sound phenomenal. It retains a real sense of physical quality – it feels heavy, and the buttons are reassuringly when you press them. The rechargeable battery provides up to 8 hours of music and playtime – you can play up to 160 songs at 50% volume before needing to recharge. The compact size is also a definitely added plus. It is truly one of the loudest bluetooth speakers for speakers at this size range.

The Verdict? The Anker Premium is an impressive and one of the loudest bluetooth speakers at this price range. It is stylishly designed with an impressive battery life and will give its competition a good run, not to mention for half or three times less the price.

The sound on the G-Boom is unbeatably loud with its incredibly powerful 10W x 2 3 inch woofers and two 1 inch tweeters. It comes with a rechargeable battery which allows up to 6 hours of on-the-go playtime.

The audio performance out of the G-Boom was sublime. The speaker sounded very clean and vivid, and has a very good command of highs, mids and lows to form a well-balanced blend of music. You can a lot of audio clarity with these speakers, such as bass in a voice, or the vibration of a guitar strum, and of course the impact in drums. We were highly impressed that a lunchbox shaped speaker which costs only $99 would be able to sound just as full as most anything in its price point and speakers costing twice as much.

Why it beats everything out there is the sum of all of its parts. It’s built like a rank. G project really did there homework with this speaker as it is rugged and the speakers are high quality at a $99 price this speakers a steal. What also sets it apart is it has tweeters and it plays the vocals at higher frequency and smoothness than any small speaker can even hope to match.

#10 The Devialet Phantom, 750 Watts (White)

The Devialet Phantom is probably one of the most expensive, powerful and futuristic audio device we have reviewed. It is by far one of the loudest bluetooth speakers in its own category – and by its own category we mean 750 Watts of pure energy, although Devialet developed a more powerful 3000 Watt version which can pump out a massive 105 db. Listening to the Phantom for the first time was for us, quite an amazing experience we would not forget. The manufacturers claim that the Phantom emits the best sound in the world, with a unique physical impact. With no distortion at high volumes, no saturation, no background noise – the Devialet Phantom truly lives up to its name as a master piece of audio technology.

The Phantom speakers look very futuristic. These simply do not look like the classic speaker-box design. They just appear like they were just beamed in from a Starwars stellarship or something. They come in a strong and very nice designed box. Opening the box is a little party in itself: when you fold the box open sideways, the Phantom stands there on a little platform. Well thought out. The speaker itself is a little heavy. When you hold one this makes it very clear: this is serious, high quality equipment!

The Phantom speakers are very easy to setup. You place them on a sturdy platform or sidetable. Then you install the ‘Spark’ app on your iPhone or iPad (most Android devices are also supported). Then something magic will happen: when you touch each of the Phantoms, they start to make some ambient breathing sound and their ‘ears’ will move a little. They really come to life! Next is that you swipe some speaker icons in the Spark app according to your needs: 1 to the left, 1 to the right. Then you’re ready to go.

When it came down to sound performance, we were initially surprised by the really good sound quality. The Phantom emits an ultra-dense sound with physical impact with no distortion from 16hz to 25khz. The bass goes deep down and is rich and full but never rumbling. The mids are clear and well defined. Highs are excellent. This is a speaker which can easily compete with systems that are much more expensive. Although the Phantoms do cost some serious money, they perform well above what we expected. We have listened to some nice high-end setups over time. The Phantom is easily one of the best of these and by far not among the most expensive.

What really stands out from the Phantom is that the sound is very realistic. A voice really sounds as if someone is singing in my very own room. Guitars, drums, piano’s, strings – everything is just so realistic. We would also mention that to a certain degree this would depend on the quality of the recording. Phantom is very enjoyable late in the evening when other people are asleep and you tune them down. They really come to life at moderate volumes. And they will almost blow you away when you play them loud (there is no need to go for the 3000watts version unless you live in a really big room).

The Verdict? If you are an audiophile looking for one of the loudest bluetooth speakers at this high-end range, we can really recommend the Phantom system due to the incredible design and sound quality. The volume can go VERY loud and produces very well defined sound. We absolutely loved the futuristic look, deep bass, heavy, unique sound, good customer support, and realistic omnidirectional sound.   The Phantoms cuts through all of this in one purchase. The audio stream, if you use the Devialet software, is done digitally perfect straight to the Phantom system. The audio performance of the Devialet Phantom is something that you just have to experience once in a lifetime to believe that it actually exists. We were told that everything in Phantom is unique – the Phantom is protected by 88 worldwide patents and we can see why the manufacturers have gone through such lengths to protect this revolutionary invention.

You will have to set your device and not move it. Other than this minor issue, this speaker is completely worth the money. The Big Blue is just much better sounding than many other bluetooth speakers out there, and probably the loudest bluetooth speaker in this field.

Some eye-popping technical specifications that the Big Blue Party has are (1) Four 2.5” drivers are mounted inside on 45-degree angles under the top rubber cap, (2) One 5.5” circular subwoofer above the bottom cap firing directly to the left, and (3) One 5” by 7” passive box radiator firing off to the right. It also cranks up to 72 Watts of juice (18W per channel +36 W for subwoofer), and also features a 3.5 Aux connection. The charge life of the Big Blue is 4.5 hours, and the recharge time can go up to 5 hours.  Big Blue Party actually performs properly stereo-separated sound through its speakers, with left- and right-channel audio clearly projecting out from the respective edges of the chassis.

The Verdict? The Big Blue Party is the real deal for party goers who want to get serious about partying to the beat of the music. It has virtually no competition if you are looking for a portable Bluetooth Speaker that bumps and cranks up the volume. If you like hip-hop/R&B/reggae this thing kills. It also handles Jazz, alternative and just about everything else that you can throw at it. You can bring the Big Blue everywhere you go to the beach, BBQ, party, vacation, pool or just chilling in the backyard. This is one of the loudest bluetooth speakers of 2017 that definitely packs a huge punch.

Some other features that we liked about the OontZ Angle 3 Plus is the fact that it is IPX5 splashproof, rainproof, dustproof and perfect for beach, poolside or boating uses – with this rating it will easily resist gentle water sprays and splashes – just don’t submerge it. The speaker also comes with an included 3.5mm audio cable to connect to the AUX-in jack for non-bluetooth devices. It comes with a built-in microphone for handsfree calling, which is a nice added touch. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides a good solid 30 hours of play time, although we did not max out the volume while testing it because it was too loud.

The Verdict? If you are looking for a powerful bluetooth speaker, the Oontz Angle 3 PLUS easily tops as one of the loudest bluetooth speakers at this size, and yet retains much of its portability and lightweight design. The sound on this speaker is simply excellent, although you may get some distortion issues when first using it – we found that you may need to use the speaker for some burn-in time before cranking them up. The service support by Cambridge Soundworks is amazing and fast – so you if run into any issues you don’t have to worry at all! All in all, this is definitely one of the best loudest bluetooth speakers we have encountered.

Special Mention: Bose SoundTouch 30 Series III

The Bose SoundTouch 30 Series III is undoubtedly the best-performing one-piece wireless music system from Bose. Although the SoundTouch is not built for portability, it’s one of the loudest Bluetooth speakers for home audio, and works very well with your home Wi-Fi network and Bluetooth devices so you can play almost anything you can imagine. Bose SoundTouch systems do not require extra controllers to use on a dispersed WIFI system like Sonos. The newest Soundtouch includes Bluetooth. Sonos does not. So you can link to a speaker by Bluetooth and have that music play on all grouped speakers. The Bose SoundTouch 30 Series III’s dimensions are 9.7″ H x 17.1″ W x 7.1″ D (25.75 lbs).

The SoundTouch 30 Series III is part of Bose’s next generation of stand-alone home entertainment solutions. In short, we love the functionality the system brings, with easy wireless web integration and multiple input options. The sound is what you would expect from Bose, clean and full.

Installation of this unit is a breeze. It comes with a power cord and a remote. You plug it in and you go. Setup involves using their app to configure the device through your existing wireless network. We did the setup on a PC, but we’ve also used the app on iPhone. The steps are simple, and the app is very clean and usable. You can connect online music services that you use (Pandora, Spotify, iHeart Radio) so that the device can draw from them, and this is a quick process of selecting them from a list and entering your login info. Then you’re all set to play. You can control the device (what it plays, volume) wirelessly through the app, from the remote, or on the device itself. So that’s all to say that setup is easy, and brings me to fuller comments on functionality.

The SoundTouch has bluetooth, so you can stream audio from any bluetooth device (and this provides the necessary workaround for Spotify if you only have a free account; you can stream a playlist from a phone or PC). It also has an aux input jack, so you can use a cord to connect anything with a headphone jack. So those additional options lend some great flexibility.

In terms of audio performance, the SoundTouch 30 Series III has a nice and full sound, and it puts out quite a lot of volume. Apart from its size, it is one of the loudest Bluetooth speakers for home environments – it will fill a relatively large living room without trouble. The bass and treble are both very clear and defined. There may be a bit of weakness in the mid-range tones, but overall it’s a very clean and enjoyable sound. Because of the way the sound comes off of this unit in both the front and the back, it does fill a room well, although we speculate two speakers would create a fuller sound picture. But that would be a different unit. As for the sound of this unit, there’s no doubt it is very good, and it holds up at low volume and high volume.

The Verdict? We absolutely love the SoundTouch 30 Series III. The functionality is top notch. It is simple to use with great flexibility of inputs. The app only enhances this functionality. The sound is full and clear, and it will fill a room beautifully. This is an exciting peak at the possibilities of simple music listening. Push a button and listen; no logging in or pairing up devices or opening apps needed to get internet-based sound flowing. The sound quality is just about as good as it gets – you are really getting top value for what you pay for with this device.

Special Mention: B&O PLAY by BANG & OLUFSEN – BeoPlay A2 Portable Bluetooth Speaker

The Beoplay A2 is definitely the answer to all the existing portable speakers on the market right now, and B&O didn’t just copy existing concepts with average results (like B&W did with the T7), but created something completely new and unique. Although design is a matter of taste, we really liked it. It is elegant and funky at the same time, easy to carry thanks to the leather-strap. The A2 is definitely a powerful, yet well-balanced bluetooth speaker which features rich bass that can fill any room or outdoor space. With drivers pumping out a solid 60Watts of juice, the A2 is easily one of the loudest bluetooth speakers in its category.

One of the most impressive facts of the A2 is bass response. The speaker is about the size of the Soundlink III, but flatter, more rounded and lighter as well, but this thing plays down below 50Hz and most improtant it is not an artifically boosted bass like on most Bose speakers, but rather flat bass response, at least up to medium levels. Bass is never boomy or bloated, you can even put the A2 inside a corner which will result in a heavy bodied sound nearly resembling that of a grown up system. When standing completely free bass can sometimes remain a bit recessed, but regardless how the A2 is positioned, it never sounds neither anemic, nor does the bass ever distract from the rest of the music, even if you are listening from within a room mode.

Bass reduction starts at above half volume, but the speaker still manages a rather full-bodied sound at max. volume unlike some of the competiton like the B&W T7, which can play louder, but dials bass back nearly completely which results in a hurting unbalanced sound.

The Beoplay A2 is one of the few speakers which manages to create a bit of stereo separation. The front/back drivers are mounted at the opposite sides, so will not only get a left/right effect, but also front/back, the speaker fills the room much better than any other comparable speaker we have tried. It sounds more airy more open and reminds me a bit of the Fugoo, but the Beoplay A2 sounds much more serious, more like a fullsized system.

The Beoplay is really a pleasure to listen to – we have thrown everything at it, from Jazz, Funk, to House, Electronica, it always sounded great, with some exceptions though. The Beoplay suffers from some distortion with particular dance tracks, particularly TR-909 or 808 electronic kick-drums type of sounds.  If you listen to simple (blunt) music, any speaker that can crank out dB’s without too much distortion will probably satisfy you, but if you prefer complex compositions that make use of the subtleties afforded by a wide harmonic frequency range then you’ll prefer a more sophisticated audio system capable of reproducing that effect. The greater the complexity and/or subtlety of your music choice and the more discerning your ear, the more you’ll appreciate B&O A2.

Interestingly, when we tested the A2 by the beach with 20 knots of wind, its sound quality drew a crowd of kitesurfers who wanted to see how such a small speaker was producing such amazing audio. Most had never heard of B&O, but many were saving the name on their smartphones. If something this small can reproduce music in an open air environment (no structures to act as sounding boards) with enough volume and clarity to draw a crowd from 50′ around in a 20 knot wind, B&O has done quite a lot right. It’s truly one of the most sophisticated loudest bluetooth speakers we’ve tested.

The Verdict? When we listen to the B&O BeoPlay A2 we forgot that we are actually listening to a portable speaker. B&O have built their audio reputation upon creating balanced, well-tuned components and speakers for customers who appreciate precision audio and have enough discretionary income to acquire it, but who aren’t audio engineers. Similar to Apple, B&O produces products that are part design status symbols and part high-end technical tools. The stellar and sophisticated A2 is no exception and is easily one of the loudest bluetooth speakers for its category.
