Great Sound Under $50 Is Real
Bluetooth speaker technology has improved dramatically. You can now get surprisingly good sound for under $50. Here are our top picks after testing 15 models.
1. Anker Soundcore 2 ($26) — Best Overall
12W of power, 24-hour battery life, and IPX7 waterproofing. For $26, this speaker is absurdly good. It's the default recommendation for anyone on a budget.
2. Anker Soundcore Motion+ ($40 on sale) — Best Sound Quality
30W output, Hi-Res Audio, and aptX support. When it drops to $40, it's the best-sounding speaker under $50, period. Watch for sales.
3. JBL GO 3 ($40) — Best Design
JBL sound quality in a pocket-sized, waterproof package. The design is fantastic and it comes in 10+ colors. Great for gifts.
4. OontZ Angle 3 ($25) — Best Value
10W output, 12-hour battery, IPX5 water resistance. The best sub-$30 speaker you can buy. Not the prettiest, but it works.
5. Tribit XSound Go ($36) — Best Bass
16W output with surprisingly deep bass for the size. 24-hour battery and IPX7. The bass response is noticeably better than competitors at this price.
