Trying to buy a cheap Bluetooth speaker that doesn’t sound like you’re blasting music through a Pringles can? Oh man, I’ve had my fair share of disappointments—some of them so tinny I wondered if my phone speaker might actually be better. But, hey, there are a few gems out there. Honestly, the Anker Soundcore 2 is my MVP. I’ve dragged that thing everywhere—from accidental kitchen sauce splatters to hanging out on the porch—and it's still kicking. Deep-ish bass, crisp enough treble, and it’s not gonna shatter if you bump it off your table. Plus, the battery just will not die. Like, charge it Sunday, forget about it till next weekend. For less than $40? Not bad at all.
Another one I’ve tested (and kinda didn’t expect much from, if we’re being real) is the OontZ Angle 3 by Cambridge SoundWorks. The name’s ridiculous, but the sound? Surprisingly legit. It gets loud without melting into fuzzy distortion, and voices come through way clearer than I thought they would for the price. Super lightweight, doesn’t take up half your bag, and the waterproof thing? Let’s just say it handled one little rainstorm I subjected it to—by accident, thank you very much.
Oh, and for all the “I’m always outside” people—seriously, the Tribit XSound Go is shockingly good for mini pool parties, hiking, park hangs, whatever. Small but packs a punch, that one. No random static, connects in seconds, and feels like it’d keep playing even after the apocalypse (I mean, if anything’s left with Bluetooth then).
Anyway—what’s the one budget speaker that totally surprised you? I’m always up for adding something new to the list, especially if it punches above its weight.
