If you like to wirelessly stream music, podcasts, and audiobooks from mobile devices, you'll want a speaker that supports Bluetooth connectivity. Unlike speakers with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth-compatible speakers don't rely on an Internet connection to stream audio. As a result, they tend to be more portable, and many also have an outdoor-oriented design with carrying straps or water-resistant bodies. However, finding the loudspeakers comes down to what matters most to you. With so many Bluetooth loud speakers on the market, you have many options for finding a device that meets your unique needs.

If you're looking for a solid budget-friendly speaker that won't break the bank, check out the SODLK T7. This stereo speaker has amazing directivity thanks to its 360-degree design. Its default sound profile is fairly balanced and suitable for listening to lots of different types of audio content. Vocals and lead instruments sound clear and present in the mix, and there's an 'Outdoor Mode' preset advertised to help bump up its bass. It has an IPX7 rating for dust and water resistance, meaning it's certified to be fully dust-tight and immersible in up to a meter of water for 30 minutes. Also, it's small and lightweight and has a small carrying strap built-in.

The sound quality you'll get from any given set of outdoor speakers depends on the model's tweeter and sub-woofer. The tweeter provides the treble and vocals, while the sub-woofer gives the bass and lower tones. The sound quality—particularly that of the bass—is very dependent on the size of the woofer, with a bigger size giving you more depth and boom. This is why small speakers typically cannot compete with larger options in the sound quality department.
