The 6 Best Speakers For iPhone - Winter 2025

The best Bluetooth speaker for iPhone we've tested is the Sonos Move 2. This premium speaker is packed with features to maximize your listening experience both in and out of the home. It boasts a sleek and premium design that'll blend into most decor, with built-in voice assistant support so you can check the weather, add ingredients to your grocery list, and more. It's battery-powered, so you can easily move it from room to room or take it to the backyard for outdoor listening. Since it's rated IP56 for dust and water resistance, it's even protected against some exposure to the elements.

This speaker also has some features designed for easy integration with your iPhone. You can stream audio from your iPhone or iPad via Apple AirPlay. Its companion app, called Sonos, is available on iOS. With it, you can connect the device to other Sonos products to spread audio throughout your home and customize the speaker's sound. The room correction tool, Auto Trueplay, optimizes the speaker's sound for your room's unique acoustics. The full feature is only available on iOS devices, and iPhone users will appreciate that they can make the most of their listening experience with this premium device.

The Ultimate Ears EPICBOOM is one of the best portable speakers for iPhone, available at a more affordable price than our top pick. This speaker comes in black and white and is a great choice for listening to all sorts of audio content. It reproduces voices and lead instruments with clarity, and the bass has a bit of extra warmth to bring genres like EDM to life. You can manually customize its sound from the Ultimate Ears app using its graphic EQ and presets or let its Adaptive EQ feature do the work. This room correction tool automatically analyzes the acoustics of your listening space to bring the best possible sound.

While this speaker is a little heavy, its built-in handle makes it easy enough to transport. It's rated IP67 for dust and water resistance, and its battery lasts nearly 16 hours, so you can enjoy nonstop audio content for hours wherever you go. Voice assistants aren't built-in, so you'll need to pair up a third-party device to use it with your voice. And although this speaker doesn't offer Apple AirPlay, its iOS Bluetooth latency falls within good limits, so you're not likely to notice major lip-syncing issues. That said, various apps and devices compensate differently for latency, so your real-world experience may vary. Depending on how you plan to use it, you may find that this portable Bluetooth speaker is a better value overall.

On a tighter budget? Check out the Ultimate Ears MEGABOOM 4. This cylindrical speaker comes in many colors to suit your style, and it's a great choice for listening to music from a paired iPhone. You can connect over Bluetooth to enjoy a clean and clear representation of vocals and lead instruments in all your favorite tracks. The Ultimate Ears app is easy to download onto your iPhone, and it lets you access many extra features, including a graphic EQ to customize the speaker's sound to your liking. There are even some preset modes on hand.

This portable Bluetooth speaker boasts a smaller and more lightweight design than our top picks, so it's an even better value if you're shopping with portability in mind. That said, given its smaller design, it's unsurprising that it doesn't get as loud as the Ultimate Ears EPICBOOM. Still, this speaker remains a solid pick if you want a simple Bluetooth speaker and don't need the extra features.

If you want to spend even less on a speaker, some great budget-friendly options, including the Anker Soundcore Flare 2, are easy to use with your iPhone. For a low price, it's a noticeable improvement over listening to music through your iPhone's built-in speakers. It reproduces voices and other instruments in the mix accurately and with detail. Plus, it has a cool design with lights that flash to the beat, bringing more excitement to your favorite tunes. You can use the companion app to switch up the light show to suit your mood and adjust the speaker's sound using its graphic EQ and presets.

Overall, this speaker has a small and portable design that lets you bring the party on the go. You can pair it with your iPhone over Bluetooth to listen to your favorite tracks and use Siri through your phone to control the device. It's rated IPX7 for water resistance, meaning it can withstand some exposure to rain or spills, and its just over eight-hour battery life is suitable for a day on the go. Unfortunately, its battery doesn't last as long as the Ultimate Ears MEGABOOM 4, so you'll have to charge it up more often. Still, for the price, this speaker is a great choice for iPhone users.

The best cheap option we've tested for iPhones is the Anker Soundcore 3. It's a small, portable Bluetooth speaker that's easy to pair to your iPhone to listen to your favorite tunes. Despite its small size, it still offers decent sound quality, especially with more vocal-centric content like podcasts or the news. It stands out from similarly priced models thanks to its companion app, which you can download onto your iPhone to access a graphic EQ and presets to adjust its sound.

This speaker is rated IPX7 for water resistance, which is handy if you want to use it outside. It also lasts for over 13 hours off a single charge, so you won't have to head back inside to charge it very often. While its sound quality isn't quite as impressive as the larger and more premium models on our list, it remains a solid plug-and-play pick for iPhone users shopping on a budget.

Apple fans will recognize the Apple HomePod (2nd generation), which keeps the same signature design as the first-generation model for easy integration into your living room setup. This wired device is available in midnight and white color variants and includes built-in Siri support for hands-free control. It does an excellent job of picking up voice commands; you can even use it as a smart home hub to control other smart accessories in your house. Naturally, this speaker pairs up easily with your iPhone, making it the best AirPlay speaker for home use that we've tested.

Compared to the first-generation model, this speaker shines regarding bass reproduction. With more thump and rumble reproduced in the mix, it's well-suited for listening to bass-heavy genres like EDM and hip-hop. Its built-in room correction tool automatically optimizes the audio reproduction based on your room's unique acoustics, which is a premium touch. Unfortunately, Apple still hasn't added any sound customization tools for its speakers, so you can't manually switch up its sound. Still, it's a great pick for iPhone users, and the more affordable Apple HomePod mini is another solid alternative if you want AirPlay and Siri compatibility but are okay with less bass in the mix.
