Portable Bluetooth speakers are a convenient and easy way to stream music from your smartphone without having to worry about cables, proximity to sockets etc, which also means they are great for taking to the beach, the garden or anywhere you need your tunes to sing out. The speakers we have picked out here are at the more affordable end of the market, but all will do a fine job of presenting your music wherever you need it.
When choosing a Bluetooth speaker, consider not just price but what you will be using it for, and where. If portability is key, think about battery life, waterproof rating and how rugged the design is.
Whether you like the idea of taking the cute JBL Go 3 into the shower with you (don't mistake it for a soap-on-a-rope, though!), partying by the pool with the colourful Wonderboom 3 or linking a pair of JBL Flip 6 up for a modest rave in your back garden, you are sure to find something here to suit.

YG Acoustics Carmel 3
