Choose the best Bluetooth speaker for your home

A good set of travel speakers are a must-have for those who enjoy great sound on the go

By definition, the headline of this column is wrong. Cringingly, clickbaitingly wrong. It’s impossible for anyone to do an ‘ultimate’ comparison between Bluetooth speakers. For starters there are too many of them (I would say about a thousand plus brands not including unbranded imports). Then there’s the whole category problem as Bluetooth-enabled speakers come in all shapes and sizes – teeny tiny portable pocket ones to giant floor standing beasts. To compound it further is the price diversity. They start from as little as Rs 200 and go onto a few lakhs. But the point was to get you into this column. Let me tell you why this category is so hot and why investing in a good Bluetooth speaker is essential.

The Harman Onyx Mini belts out great sound

The Bose SoundLink Mini is super small with a high price
