Improvements in Bluetooth technology meant that they're able to offer a very capable audio experience in their own right. Further, improvements in the battery technology and capacities means that you don’t have to worry about charging these speakers for days. In addition to this, there are several good Bluetooth speakers in the market that come integrated with Google Assistant and Alexa, so you can actually do more than just listen to songs now.
If you are on the lookout for a good Bluetooth speaker, here's our shortlist of some of good options. Some are rugged, some are stylish, some are weatherproof and - read through and choose your option.
Bose SoundLink Mini II
The Bose SoundLink Mini II is relatively ancient, having been released in June 2015. Fans of the original SoundLink Mini loved the upgraded features and audio of the second generation speaker. But how does the SoundLink Mini II fare against more modern competition?
From the spec sheet, you may be disappointed to find all the things the Bose SoundLink Mini Ii lacks. There’s no NFC for easy pairing, no multipoint Bluetooth for pairing to multiple devices simultaneously and it's not water resistant.
JBL Flip 3 Stealth
Enjoy surprisingly powerful, room-filling stereo sound with the JBL Flip 3 Stealth ultra-compact portable Bluetooth speaker. Powered by a rechargeable 3000mAh Li-ion battery, it delivers up to 10 hours of non-stop, high-quality playtime. The exterior is IPX7 rated, featuring a waterproof design with durable fabric. From tabletop to poolside, from sunny mornings to rainy nights, the Flip 3 Stealth is your ultimate all-purpose, all-weather companion.
Amazon Echo Dot
The third-generation Amazon Echo Dot has a 41mm driver speaker that sounds exceptionally well compared to the one on the Google Home Mini. The quality of sound is much better with enjoyable bass and rich vocals, offering an immersive audio experience. The Amazon Echo Dot comes powered by Amazon’s homebrewed Alexa voice assistant. It manages to answer your queries quite well but Google has it better when it comes to answering general questions.
Connectivity
Similar to Google Home Mini, the Amazon Echo Dot has Bluetooth v4.1 and Wi-Fi connectivity onboard. You can also use the 3.5mm for wiring up the Dot with other devices.
