Cheap Bluetooth Speaker Buyer’s Guide

best cheap portable bluetooth speaker

It’s clear that a cheap BlueTooth speaker under $50’s sound quality can’t compete against a $200 speaker, but some definitely sound better than portable BlueTooth speakers costing twice as much. Regardless of the price, you should consider the following points when shopping for any best Bluetooth speaker on the market.

The Sound Quality

It’s very hard to have an objective conclusion when it comes to sound, but when comparing to other speakers on market, the Anker 20W Bluetooth speaker has the best sound quality of the bun. The top-rated Bluetooth speakers on this list managed to control the flow of the sound, making it clear and crisp to ear. The best of the bunch has a small bass but nothing too crazy, but considering that these are small-sized Bluetooth speakers, it’s understandable.

Connectivity

The appeal of portable Bluetooth speakers comes with that fact that you don’t need an auxiliary cable to connect to your devices. Now some portable bluetooth speaker allows you synchronize with other speakers (of the same brand) to create a small scale sound system. That’s a great option to consider, especially if you are offering this as a gift or want to create this setup for parties and others.

Even top cheap stereo Bluetooth speakers under $50 still manage to offer a fast and reliable Bluetooth connection to up to 6 phone 30+ feet away.

On top of the Bluetooth connection, you should also have the option the connect an auxiliary cable. Not the ideal set up but if that’s the only option, that can come in handy.

Portability

It’s clear that even cheap portable speakers under $50 are more portable than others. This is definitely a matter of choice and your lifestyle. The smaller the speaker the more portable it is but the weaker the sound quality, generally. Under $50 you shouldn’t expect to see a boombox, but that’s something to consider. Can it comfortably fit in one hand? Is it too heavy to carry?

Design

Bluetooth speakers have become fashion statements and as such, you can’t ignore the design element. It’s obvious that some brands are better than others in this department. For us it’s clear that we are attracted to speakers that look good, those are the ones we want to review in the first place. However, some Bluetooth speakers brands have kept a classic look while offering outstanding sound quality.

The Battery Life

Everything else being equal and depending on the intended use, the battery life of your Bluetooth speakers might affect your buying decision. Battery life varies greatly across the board here so should you find one that gives you better battery life, go for it.

Final Thoughts

Buying a cheap Bluetooth speaker under $50 really allows you to focus on the essential when it comes to technology product like these. Buying from known brands is always the safe way go because of their track record of quality products, but in the Bluetooth speaker world small brands are offering quality sounding speaker for relatively less, and you can always return or exchange.
