Why we like it

The JBL Charge 5 is Mashable's top pick for the best portable speaker of 2023, and it's not just because we like the color options (but that does help). The JBL Charge 5 features a powerful sound with deep bass and long battery life (up to 20 hours on one charge), and it's waterproof, making it ideal for outdoor gatherings or pool parties.

Why we like it

If $129.95 is more than you're willing to spend on a portable speaker, the Bose SoundLink Micro might be a better fit for your budget. This compact speaker made our list of top portable speakers for its durability. It's built to be pretty much indestructible and can handle extreme temperatures, liquid, dust, and anything else you throw at it. We might even go as far as to say it's the best portable speaker for your apocalyptic survival kit (you never know).

It has a short battery life (only six hours), and the sound doesn't compare to the JBL Charge 5. But if you're looking for something budget-friendly and sturdy, the Bose SoundLink Micro gets the job done.
