It's time to have some fun in the sun, and what better way to set the vibe than with a portable speaker? A high-quality Bluetooth speaker is something every music fan or podcast listener needs. The gadget will transform your audio experience and elevate the mood wherever the summer takes you — just imagine listening to riveting podcasts and audiobooks while relaxing on the sand or jamming out to your favorite summer playlists with your friends. Ahead, we rounded up the best portable speakers on the market from brands such as Bose, JBL, and Sony.

To avoid the heartbreak of ruining a speaker with a splash of water or an accidental drop, invest in a durable portable speaker that can handle your summer adventures. We found speakers with water-resistant and dust-resistant features that are equipped to handle pool parties, beach days, and hiking adventures. There are even options with extra bass to turn your space into a music festival. Keep reading to shop our top picks of every price range.
