There’s no doubt that having a ton of music on your smart phone can turn you into a “save the day” DJ at the drop of a needle, but the only problem is that your phone’s speakers can only blast so loud and can often be shrill and unexpressive.  To make your presence known you need a tight sounding Bluetooth speaker system that you can throw in your backpack and unleash hell when the music gods dare usher your name.  


While there maybe plenty of speaker systems available, you must first find the one that’s best for you in terms of size, sound and price.  Connectivity is also important as you’ll want your phone to connect to the device as quickly and efficiently as possible.  Battery life, be it re-chargable or disposable, you’ll also want one that isn’t going to die on you when your playing your band’s demo for that Hollywood club owner.


Beyond that, the biggest problem that Bluetooth speakers have is that they are generally not loud enough to take out of the confines of your bedroom.  An overall balanced sound reproduction is what you want, but it’s bass that’s going to push the speaker setup into the next room.  Bass response will surely round out the sound of the speaker and help carry the music in addition to helping buffer out ancillary and extraneous noises like traffic and chatty background folk.  The more bass a system has, the less high end and mid-range frequencies the speakers contain.  This happens more that you’d think but most people don’t have a refined audio palette, so manufacturers can usually get away with selling an unbalanced speaker system.  


Here at Tibesti we’ve rounded up the best Bluetooth Speaker Systems.  Give them a look and totally throw buyers remorse out the window.

The Best You Can Get

  • Jawbone Jambox Bluetooth Speaker System

    Expert says: The current trendy water cooler talked about BlueTooth Speaker is the Jawbone Jambox.  Quiet literally a mini-club in your pocket.  This little thing straight bangs, just minus the Olufsen.  Robust and attractive thanks to it’s Hellraiser box aesthetic and patterned fine mesh grill, the JamBox is capable of much more that meets the eye.  Able to connect to two devices simultaneously, you can view that Jambox’s battery level on your phone so you don’t leave anyone’s ears hanging.  Totally portable and ready for the beach or your next rooftop party, the Jawbone Jambox is a exemplary choice for a quality overall speaker that exudes stellar sound in a very small package.

  • Monster iClarity HD Bluetooth Speaker System

    Expert says: I’m not sure why this Monster device is void of the Dr. Dre Beats branding, the iClarity is an excellent choice for the more budget conscious music lover without the sacrifice of sound quality on the go.  Containing a passive radiator subwoofer, the iClarity promises swift delivery of tight and clean bass while still ensuring that the other frequencies aren’t left out of the mix.  Using a lithium ion battery, the speaker is capable of up to 5 hours of portable music like it ain’t no thing and the rugged exterior should hold up against nonchalant bag tosses and other forms of unintended neglect.  While Monster products are generally over-hyped, don’t let that deter you from giving the iClarity the time of day.

  • SoundMatters Foxl v2 Bluetooth Speaker System

    Expert says: When you name you company SoundMatters, then it’s pretty evident that it better should.  The Foxl v2 is a high end handheld Bluetooth speaker system with up to 5 hours of wireless use and even more output power when plugged into a wall outlet.  Omitting lush frequency response in a pronounced and balanced fashion, the Foxl v2 bumps just hard enough not to break its housing. Very tiny and sporting an ergonomic design, the Foxl v2 will definitely turn some heads once you start blasting.  All bluetooth speakers act as Speaker Phones when a call comes in, and the Foxl v2 uses dual noise and echo cancelling mics to enhance your calling experience.  So even though you may have never even heard of SoundMatters before, does it really matter when it sounds this good? 

  • Motorola MOTOROKR EQ7 Bluetooth Speaker System

    Expert says: Looking like an urban Simon Says where you always bet on black, the Motorola MOTOROKR EQ7 is a fine choice for those who tend to favor four speakers instead of two.  Featuring JBL speaker technologies, the Motorokr has noise reduction and echo cancellation while being loud enough to compete with other BlueTooth setups in it’s price range.  Enjoy up to a 30 foot range with these speakers and the EQ7 uses 4 AA batteries so you don’t have to worry about a lithium ion when it dies, provided your near a 7-11 when it does. 

  • SuperTooth Disco Bluetooth Speaker System

    Expert says: With a visual design similar to one of those WW2 communication backpack things, the SuperTooth Disco is far from archaic.  With plenty of bass to go around the SuperTooth Disco will have no problems pumping out the jams at your next get together in the alley behind the liquor store.  Powered by a NiMh battery you should expect about 5 hours of continuous playtime with this speaker.  Obviously not a household name, the BlueTooth speaker arena is wide open for new competitors, and the SuperTooth Disco is one of them.
