The 7 Best Bluetooth Speakers For Bass - Fall 2023 Reviews

The best Bluetooth speaker for bass we've tested is the JBL PartyBox 310. This large and powerful speaker brings out all the thump and rumble in your favorite tunes so you can party in the comfort of your home. Bass lovers can take advantage of all the extra customization tools available, too, including a Bass Boost feature to pump up the boom and a more traditional graphic EQ to switch up its sound across the range. Even with all that energy in the bass range, vocals and other instruments are still clear and accurate in the mix, ensuring a great sound quality with all your audio content.

As its name implies, this speaker is designed with parties in mind. As a result, it boasts many cool features you won't find with more traditional speakers, including microphone and guitar inputs for when you want to host your next sing-along. The circular RGB lights on the front of the speaker are customizable, too, so you can set the mood with the right colors and patterns. Karaoke and DJ settings are also available in the speaker's companion app. If you're looking for a simpler Bluetooth speaker, getting such a premium model is probably not worth it, but if you want the best of the best, this speaker has it all.

The Sony SRS-XG500 is another awesome speaker for bass lovers. This powerful Bluetooth speaker has no trouble bringing out the deep thump and rumble in the mix, especially with bass-heavy EDM and hip-hop tracks. It boasts a sleek and premium design and a ton of sound customization tools to make the most of your favorite tracks. The MEGA BASS preset adds more boom in the bass, and there's also a graphic EQ in its companion app to switch it up across the range.

Since it's a smaller alternative to the JBL PartyBox 310, this speaker is easier to take on the go—there's even a built-in handle for easy transport. Take it with you to the next party or out into your backyard, and you can still enjoy many of the same cool features, including microphone and guitar inputs. The RGB lights are customizable for a more ambient experience as well. That said, since this speaker is a little smaller than the JBL, it's not surprising that it reproduces a touch less low-bass. It's still more than suitable for most bass lovers, though—and it may offer a better value if you don't have room for the larger JBL.

The Monster Rockin' Roller 270X is another great party speaker for bass. It's more affordable than our top picks and still boasts many of the same features. Microphone and guitar inputs let you become your own musician, and there's even a bottle opener built into the speaker itself for amateur bartenders. The LED lights next to the controls make it easy to spot the buttons in a dark and crowded room, which is a cool touch for parties, even if you can't customize the colors to your liking. The controls also let you adjust the bass and treble to help you switch up its sound based on your preferences.

That said, you may not need to customize the speaker's sound in the first place—its sound quality is great right out of the box. Voices and instruments are clear in the mix, with a little extra sparkle in the treble to bring higher-pitched sounds to life. There's some extra punch in the high-bass, too, which adds excitement to bass-heavy tunes. Overall, it's suitable for lots of different music genres. It doesn't reproduce quite as much low-bass as the Sony SRS-XG500, but it's not as noticeable for more casual listeners. For a more affordable price, this speaker is worth a look.

The Anker Soundcore Motion Boom is a small but mighty speaker that can produce quite an extended low-bass for its portable size. It's a more affordable alternative to the Monster Rockin' Roller 270X, and while it doesn't have any microphone or guitar inputs for your next party, it may prove to be a better value if you don't plan to use those features in the first place. For its price, it brings a solid amount of bass, ensuring that you feel the punch in bass-heavy tracks like EDM and hip-hop. Other instruments remain clear in the mix, too, and the bass doesn't overwhelm them, so you enjoy a clear and accurate reproduction of your favorite songs.

If you want a different sound, there are a lot of customization tools on hand. There's a BASS button right on the speaker itself, which you can use to add more punch in the bass to your tunes. Also, you can find a graphic EQ and other presets through the speaker's companion app, which lets you switch up its sound across the whole range. It's smaller and lighter than the top picks on our list, so you can easily carry it with you from room to room and bring it outside. Overall, it's a versatile pick that brings the "boom" in the bass.

The Anker Soundcore Flare 2 is the best budget speaker for bass we've tested. Overall, this portable Bluetooth speaker is a more affordable alternative to our top picks, and it offers a standout bass performance compared to other products at this price point. This speaker reproduces a good amount of bass right out of the box, but its sound customization features help it stand out. Bass lovers can use the BassUp preset to add more thump to the mix, and the graphic EQ gives you control of the speaker's sound across the frequency range, so you can manually control the amount of rumble you feel.

Available in both Black and Blue color variants, this small speaker has rings of light around its edges, allowing you to set the mood as you listen to your favorite tunes. Thanks to its versatile design, you can bring your music everywhere you go, and the over eight-hour battery life lets you enjoy long listening sessions without interruption. It's small and lightweight and is rated IPX7 for water resistance, which helps protect it if you use it outdoors. It doesn't get as loud as the Anker Soundcore Motion Boom, which is disappointing if you want to fill a larger area with sound, but it's still more than suitable for average-sized rooms.

Home speakers are a great option if you only plan to use your speaker within the walls of your home. Many offer built-in voice assistant support for hands-free control and sleek and stylish designs to match your decor. The Denon Home 350 is the best for bass that we've tested. You can use this large speaker on its own or as part of your home theater setup with a compatible Denon soundbar, and it brings out all the thump and rumble in your favorite movies and music. Plus, you can adjust the bass levels through its companion app to add even more punch to the overall sound.

With built-in Alexa support, you can control this speaker's functions using only your voice. Whether you're close to the device or further away, it has no trouble picking up your commands, and it does well in noisier environments. Plus, the microphone mute button gives you the option of privacy when you want it. You can even link it with other compatible Denon speakers in its app, meaning you can spread sound throughout multiple rooms of your home. When it comes to home speakers, this device packs a punch.

While most of the picks on our list are designed as party speakers, some other options on the market offer a solid bass performance in a more versatile build. The Sonos Move is the best we've tested, and it's a smart speaker designed to be used both in and out of the home. With a sleek design, it blends right in with your home decor. Plus, the built-in handle makes it easy to bring it with you if you want to listen in your backyard. There's even an IP56 rating for dust and water resistance to keep it safe against the elements.

This speaker's sound quality makes it suitable for listening to different audio content. Bass lovers will appreciate the deep thump and rumble in the bass especially. Bass-heavy genres like EDM and hip-hop reproduce with plenty of thump and rumble, and the bass adjustment feature lets you add more or less punch to the mix. Since it's a bit smaller than the JBL PartyBox 310, this speaker naturally brings a little less low-bass to the mix, but you aren't likely to notice unless you're an astute audiophile. If party speakers aren't for you and you prefer something more portable and versatile, the Sonos is a great choice.
