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 210 speakers, and below are our recommendations for the best bass-heavy Bluetooth speakers. If you want to see more speakers, check out our picks for the loudest Bluetooth speakers, the best speakers for parties, the best-sounding Bluetooth speakers, and the best budget and cheap 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, its wheels help with transport, and 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).
This speaker's front-facing design means music sounds less consistent from the sides or behind the speaker, so placement matters. Still, that can be an advantage, because it helps you point the sound where you want it to go, like at your guests. As a party speaker, it naturally 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, it can't deliver the same deep bass or peak loudness as the larger PartyBox 720, and compression at max volume can take some punch out of the bass.

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 cheaper party speaker than the Tribit StormBox Blast, but it offers an impressive max volume for the price, albeit at the cost of a shorter battery life. This party-focused speaker has circular lights that border the drivers pulse in time to the music, helping to keep your dancers grooving. There's enough bass on offer for kick drums to feel punchy, if not especially rumbly. The mid-range is quite balanced, so voices sound accurate. 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.
That said, it's quite a heavy speaker for its size, but it features a carrying handle for easy portability. And on the plus side, it doesn't need to be plugged in to operate, although the six-hour battery life is on the shorter side. But 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 or get as loud as the Klipsch GIG XXL, it's far more portable. It lacks the deep thump and rumble that bass-heavy music fans may crave, but that's expected given its small size. And on the plus side, it reproduces vocals and lead instruments clearly. Unfortunately, there aren't any tools to adjust its sound.
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 bass boost 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 assistant support. Despite its smaller size, it can also reproduce ever-so-slightly deeper bass than the JBL PartyBox Encore Essential 2, though it's notably more expensive. The 5 hours of battery life also falls 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).
