A few years ago, many world famous and start-up companies began to mass produce mobile speakers. Quite unexpectedly, however, this technique quickly gained high popularity. The speakers were comfortable. Their range is really huge, which allows you to choose the device to your taste. The article provides an overview of portable speakers that received the highest ratings from consumers.
Main characteristics
It's about power and speaker format. As a rule, the manufacturer indicates the first indicator quite rarely, and consumers are never interested in this information. Before deciding on a model, it is better to pay attention to how many speakers are used, as well as how large they are. If the device has treble or bass heads, it will be much better than where only one broadband sound source is installed. A review of portable speakers will allow you to understand which of the proposed options has the most powerful playback, so you should not worry.
Size is also not necessary to forget. In the photographs that are presented on the Internet resources, the systems may seem the same, but in reality their dimensions differ markedly. In the event that the buyer is going to carry the column with him everywhere, it is better to prefer a model weighing 300-500 g. Heavier ones are usually intended for a desktop device at home or in the office. That is how they are more rationally used.
Appearance (design)
Most of the proposed devices from a huge range are connected to sound sources using a bluetooth module. Before you buy a column, it is best to clarify how many tags it stores in memory. If there are several, then switching from tablet to phone will occur instantly. Otherwise, you will have to reconfigure and connect the speaker each time.
The Internet provides extensive reviews of portable Bluetooth speakers. Popularity is easily explained by their functionality. Therefore, it is best when choosing to pay attention to this particular type of device.
If the consumer is more interested in Apple's technology, then he should give preference to models that connect using AirPlay. They seamlessly and instantly connect to the necessary device, which is good news.
In the event that the column will work in "cooperation" with a computer or laptop, it is more convenient to choose devices with a linear input. This will help not only increase the comfort of use, but also make the operating period longer without recharging.
Speakerphone
A review of portable speakers includes a description of those models that have a microphone. In this case, you can use them in speakerphone mode. What does this mean? This solution allows you to pick up the phone and communicate with the interlocutor through the column. However, this does not cause convenience. You have to move tightly to the column so that the person hears what the owner of the equipment says.
More expensive models got good microphones and noise reduction systems, so thanks to them it will be much more comfortable to communicate.
Beats pill 2.0
A review of portable speakers should start with one of the best. It's about Beats Pill 2.0. Unfortunately, no matter how popular this company is, consumers do not like products from other segments. Most believe that they have gained widespread popularity through fairly stubborn marketing. However, this cannot be said about the columns. They really work at an excellent level, forcing consumers to write positive reviews.
The new 2.0 is practically no different from the well-known version of Pill. It looks relevant, attracting a large percentage of consumers, can charge a smartphone, if necessary. It weighs only 310 grams, so it is easy to transport. It has several broadband speakers - sound at the highest level.

The model received a pleasant and advanced sound effect. It is detailed, complete, and low frequencies are heard perfectly. On battery, the model is able to work for about 10 hours. Thanks to the presence of a microphone, it can be used as a speakerphone. When choosing this model, it is worth paying attention that in its dimensions it is more of a desktop speaker, rather than a portable one. It weighs about 1 kg, which not everyone will like. By modern standards, portable devices, this figure is too high.
