You can also use the Sonos app to control your speaker with Trueplay tuning for premium sound. There is even the ability to connect to other Sonos speakers in your home to hear your favorite songs throughout the house. Sonos Roam uses dual Class-H digital amplifiers with a tweeter and midwoofer for well-rounded sound. It has a 10-hour battery, which is shorter than others on our list, but it takes multiple types of chargers when it is time to recharge. Gronk Fitness shares with us the Bumpboxx Flare 6, a powerful, bass-heavy speaker that comes decked out in a fun design. It calls upon the retro design from days of old, offering a boombox-style portable speaker that is perfect for your next party or gathering. You can even personalize your speaker with a choice of six different colors. With 150 watts of power, it includes two 6.5" woofers and a 3" tweeter for full-bodied, unapologetic sound. There are also five EQ settings to choose from, plus Bluetooth connectivity for easy listening. Battery run time is 12 hours for extra listening time. And best of all? It comes Gronk-approved. The Edifier MP230 calls upon the 1950s and 1960s, offering an attractive, glossy design using a boutique mesh that is completely at home on your bookshelf or table. Made of wood, the speaker includes a Class-D stereo amplifier with dual full-range drivers and rear passive radiators that create powerful bass and crisp notes through this petite portable speaker. It uses 5.0 Bluetooth connectivity with multiple audio inputs to accommodate several devices. Thanks to its 2600 mAh high-capacity lithium-polymer battery, this speaker has one of the longest-running batteries with 16 hours of play time. The JBL Clip 4 is small enough to clip onto a backpack with an ultra-portable, miniature design that is perfect to take with you on the go. Still, you will likely be surprised by the quality of sound this little speaker produces despite its size. It uses a redesigned carabiner to provide better, clearer sound that the whole family can enjoy with simple wireless streaming using any Bluetooth device. The speaker is also IP67 waterproof and dustproof for added longevity and durability and comes in a variety of colors, too, so you can personalize your speaker to your personal taste. The Tronsmart T7 is another fun speaker, incorporating three audio modes to enhance your listening experience: extra bass, 3D, and standard. The built-in microphone allows you to make and receive hands-free calls and listen to the other person loud through the speaker. It also uses the latest Bluetooth 5.0 for a smoother connection and an impressive 100-foot transmission range. It can connect to other devices, as well, such as TVs and laptops, in addition to your phone with the Tronsmart App. We had the opportunity to test out the new Rocksteady Stadium Subwoofer and Speakers, a dual type of speaker that includes a tweeter with a mid-bass driver and bass drums for incredible sound. AWSM sound tuning is available, as well. This is an entirely flexible unit that allows you to connect multiple speakers at the same time, greatly expanding your listening area. Choose from the left or right channel, or simply tune in to both. Offering both Bluetooth and auxiliary support, it is recommended for both indoor and outdoor use, although it is not necessarily a waterproof model. To see how the Sonos Roam stacks up, here is an overview of the best portable speaker.
