If you're a fan of bass-heavy music like EDM or hip-hop, it's important to have a speaker that can produce warm, full bass. In general, the strongest bass comes from larger, bulkier speakers. Smaller portable models can still add warmth and punch, but they usually can't reproduce the same deep thump and rumble as larger models. Speakers that support Bluetooth are great for their portability since you can use them out and about without an internet connection.
We've tested over 195 speakers, and below are our recommendations for the best bass-heavy Bluetooth speakers.

Best Bluetooth Speaker For Bass
MusicOutdoorsLow-Frequency ExtensionHzFrequency Response AccuracyDirectivityLoudnessSee all our test resultsBatteryThe best Bluetooth speaker for bass we've tested is the JBL PartyBox 720. This very large and powerful speaker has a bass range that extends lower than the competition. While it's heavy and bulky to lug around, even with its carrying handle, the payoff is ground-shaking bass that can ignite the dance floor. There's even a Bass Boost button on the speaker itself to pump up the boom, plus a more traditional graphic EQ in the companion app. Even with all that energy in the bass range, vocals and other instruments are still clear and accurate in the mix. Plus, this speaker can get seriously loud (and even louder when plugged into the wall).
As its name implies, this speaker is designed with parties in mind. Naturally, it boasts party-centric features, including RGB lighting and microphone and guitar inputs for some impromptu karaoke. Karaoke and DJ settings are also available in the speaker's companion app.

Best Upper Mid-Range Bluetooth Speaker For Bass
MusicOutdoorsLow-Frequency ExtensionHzFrequency Response AccuracyDirectivityLoudnessSee all our test resultsBatteryIf you're looking for a more affordable Bluetooth speaker that still puts out plenty of boom, you'll want to check out the JBL PartyBox Encore Essential 2. It's a smaller, more portable alternative to the JBL PartyBox 720. If you love to host parties, this speaker is another great choice, since it offers many of the same features as its more premium cousin, including an input for a mic or guitar and customizable RGB lights. You can even switch up its sound with the graphic EQ and presets in the companion app.
That said, you may find that you don't even need those customization tools in the first place. Just like its predecessor, the JBL PartyBox Encore Essential, this speaker delivers substantial thump in the low bass, especially compared to similarly priced models. However, its low-frequency extension and maximum volume performance don't match those of the larger PartyBox 720.

Best Mid-Range Bluetooth Speaker For Bass
MusicOutdoorsLow-Frequency ExtensionHzFrequency Response AccuracyDirectivityLoudnessSee all our test resultsBatteryIf you're happy to sacrifice a little low-end thump for added portability, the Tribit StormBox Blast is our best bass speaker we've tested in the mid-range. This boombox-style speaker has a V-shaped sound profile with a little extra boom in the bass and sparkle in the treble, which works especially well with genres like rock and pop. Compared to larger speakers like the JBL PartyBox Encore Essential 2, the Tribit lacks some low-bass rumble. If you want even more bass, the Tribit app gives you access to a graphic EQ and presets. This speaker gets loud enough to fill larger spaces with sound, making it a solid option for backyard hangouts or blasting tunes at the local basketball court.
The built-in handle makes it easy to carry, and it's well-suited for outdoor use, with an IPX7 rating for water resistance. It even floats in water, which is handy for poolside listening. With a battery life that lasts over 32 hours on a single charge, it'll get you through a full weekend of jams. It supports multi-device pairing, so you and a friend can trade off as courtside DJs during a pickup game. That said, there's some compression at max volume.

Best Budget Bluetooth Speaker For Bass
MusicOutdoorsLow-Frequency ExtensionHzFrequency Response AccuracyDirectivityLoudnessSee all our test resultsBatteryThe Klipsch GIG XXL is a smaller party speaker available at a bargain price. The circular lights that border the drivers pulse in time to the music, helping the speaker bring out the life of the party. Its solid low-frequency extension really helps with this, too, adding propulsion to kick-heavy house and disco edits. The rest of the range is quite balanced, though there's some roll-off in the treble range, which can cause cymbals to sound a little recessed. It's quite a heavy speaker for its size, but it features a carrying handle for easy portability.
It gets very loud for its size, too, with very little compression at max volume. Unfortunately, it's let down a bit by its disappointing directivity, so you'll want to position partygoers in front of the speaker, rather than behind it or to the sides. Still, it doesn't need to be plugged in to operate and can last just under six hours on a single charge. For the price, it's hard to fault the volume and bass output you get from a relatively small package, though. If you plan to use it outdoors, just be sure to keep it dry, as it lacks an IP rating. You can always opt for the IPX7-rated Anker Soundcore Motion Boom if you need something more durable. The Anker lasts an amazing 22 hours off a single charge but lacks the Klipsch's bass response and top volume.

Best Cheap Bluetooth Speaker For Bass
MusicOutdoorsLow-Frequency ExtensionHzFrequency Response AccuracyDirectivityLoudnessSee all our test resultsBatteryIt can be a challenging proposition to find a speaker with great bass output for a cheap price. While the Sony SRS-XB100 can't produce as much low bass as the Klipsch GIG XXL or get as loud, it compensates with improved portability and by boosting the high bass to bring out the punch of kick drums. Bass lovers will love the extra warmth; just be aware that it can also make vocals and instruments sound muddy. Unfortunately, there aren't any tools to adjust its sound, which is to be expected at this price point.
On the plus side, the Sony speaker's battery life clocks in at an outstanding 20 hours, meaning it can go all weekend without recharging. It also comes in different color variants and includes a built-in strap, so you can attach it to your bag on your next hike or camping trip. The Sony also serves as our best portable speaker with bass; it's small and easy to carry around in one hand. With an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance, you can rely on it to keep churning out the tunes if there's a light shower.
Notable Mentions

Sony SRS-XV500:
The Sony SRS-XV500 is a portable party speaker with built-in lights and karaoke features. With its MEGA BASS feature enabled, it delivers a powerful low-end response, though the bass range doesn't extend as low as the JBL PartyBox 720. It's also well-built and quite portable for its size, but its 13-hour battery life falls a little short of the JBL's.

Brane X:
The Brane X is a versatile speaker that supports Wi-Fi connectivity and voice assistants. Despite its smaller size, it can also reproduce slightly deeper bass than the JBL PartyBox Encore Essential 2, though it's notably more expensive. The 5 hours of battery life also fall far short of JBL's 12.7 hours.

Our recommendations above are what we think are currently the best speakers for bass for most people, depending on their needs. We factor in the price (cheaper speakers win over pricier ones if the difference isn't worth it), feedback from our visitors, and availability (no speakers that are difficult to find or almost out of stock everywhere).
