The 6 Best Bluetooth Speakers For Bass - Summer 2021 Reviews

The best Bluetooth speaker for bass that we've tested is the JBL PartyBox 310. It comes with an adjustable Bass Boost feature which you can set to Off, 1, or 2, depending on how much bass you would like to add to your audio. With its Bass Boost feature set to '1', it has a boomy sound profile that can help you feel the thump and punch in your music. It also has RGB lights and DJ effects which are customizable through the JBL PartyBox app.

It has an impressive dynamics performance which can make it very loud and great for parties, although there are slight compression artifacts at max volume. It has a mic and guitar input which may interest musicians and a Karaoke setting that allows you to customize the bass, treble, and echo on your mic. It also has an outstanding battery life and is rated IPX4 for water resistance, although we don’t test for it, so you won’t have to worry about it too much if you bring it outdoors with you.

However, the directivity isn’t very wide. This can make audio sound unclear from some angles, which could disappoint users who prefer a more immersive listening experience. It's also quite large and bulky, but it has wheels and a handle to help with transporting it. The PartyBox 310 would make a great choice if you’re looking for a Bluetooth speaker with great bass performance.

The best customizable Bluetooth speaker for bass that we've tested is the Ultimate Ears HYPERBOOM. Its Ultimate Ears companion app features a graphic EQ and presets you can use to tweak the speaker's sound to better suit your preferences. It also has an Adaptive EQ room correction feature which automatically adjusts its sound to the unique acoustics of your room.

With its room correction feature enabled, it has a well-balanced sound profile, making it suitable for listening to a wide range of music genres, and you can use its 'Bass Up' preset to add a bit of extra thump and punch to your audio. It can also get pretty loud without much compression at max volume, so your audio remains clean during louder listening sessions, like during parties. Also, it can last over 23 hours from a single charge, though battery life can depend on your usage, and your experience may vary.

Unfortunately, it doesn't offer any voice assistant support. It's also large and bulky which can make it difficult to take with you when you're on the go. Fortunately, it comes with a built-in carrying strap to help with transporting it. If you're looking for a good customizable Bluetooth speaker for bass, it's a solid choice.

The best versatile Bluetooth speaker for bass that we've tested is the Sonos Move. This speaker has a well-balanced sound profile, making it suitable for listening to a wide range of music genres. It can produce a deep bass, and its Sonos S2 companion app features bass and treble adjustments you can use to tweak its sound to your liking. It also has a Trueplay room correction feature which adjusts the speaker's sound to the acoustics of your room.

It offers outstanding voice assistant support with Alexa and Google Assistant built-in and can hear you when you're far away from the speaker, as well as in noisier environments. It's very well-built with an IP56 rating for dust and water resistance, though we don't test for this. It's also has a built-in handle you can use to easily take it with you when you're on the move, and its battery can last over ten hours from a single charge, which is perfect for long listening sessions. That said, battery life can vary depending on usage, and your experience may differ.

Unfortunately, while it can get decently loud, there's a lot of compression at max volume, which can affect the clarity of your audio when listening at louder volume settings. It also needs to be paired to another compatible speaker in order to play stereo sound and has to downmix your audio to mono when using it on its own, which isn't immersive. However, it's still a great choice if you're looking for a versatile speaker that can produce some low-bass.

The best budget Bluetooth speaker for bass that we've tested is the Anker Soundcore Motion+. This small and lightweight speaker has a well-balanced sound profile out-of-the-box, making it suitable for listening to a wide variety of audio content. You can customize its sound to your liking thanks to the graphic EQ feature available on its companion app, and it also comes with a BassUp feature that you can enable to add more bass to your sound.

It's decently built and can get quite loud, though there are some compression artifacts at max volume, so your audio may not sound as clear during louder listening sessions. Though we don't currently test for this, it's rated IPX7 for water resistance. It also has an outstandingly long battery life that can last over 15 hours from a single charge, making it suitable for long days of listening spent outdoors. That said, battery life can vary depending on usage habits, so your real-world experience may differ.

Unfortunately, though it has a decent soundstage, it can be perceived as narrow and directional instead of open and spacious, so your audio may not sound clear from all angles. Much like other speakers of its size, it also struggles to reproduce the deep thumpy and rumbling low-bass that fans of bass-heavy music enjoy, even with its BassUp feature turned on. That said, if you're looking for a good Bluetooth speaker for bass on a budget, it's still a solid choice.
