What is a portable wireless speaker? A portable wireless speaker communicates with an audio-producing system wirelessly. It comes in a compact build such that one can carry it in a pocket, backpack, or in hand. Therefore, to distinguish it from the wireless speaker systems, which require either tabletop or wall-mount installation, it has been referred to as “portable.”
Further, a portable wireless speaker comes with a chargeable battery and wireless communication technology. Currently, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and NFC are three established wireless communication technologies. Depending on the price, a portable wireless speaker will have either one, two, or all three ways of wireless communication with an audio-producing system.

Sony is my favorite brand for premium quality display and sound in-home use gadgets. Currently, in the 4000 to 5000 Rupees range, one of the best portable Bluetooth speakers is Sony SRS-XB10. Its current price is 4300 Rupees while I am drafting this piece. This speaker could last more than 5 years easily.

Who does not like Bass and punchy sound? Sony truly markets the SRS-XB10 as a wireless speaker with Extra-Bass. It can produce a maximum 10W crystal & clear sound with deep bass.

Even at the highest volume, audio quality remains at best another feather in its cap.

► 10W Ultimate Wonderboom Portable Bluetooth Speaker
There are many great reasons why you must consider the Ultimate brand Wonderboom wireless speaker. It is a multipurpose Bluetooth speaker. It can connect with a smartphone, tablet, LED TV, computer, Laptop and also with another Wonderboom speaker. Moreover, it produces 360 degrees loud & clear sound. And BASS level in the audio output is quite impressive. Its battery quality is remarkable and lasting, as well.
Connectivity Features: The Bluetooth speaker device can pair — not just with one or two, in fact, up to eight devices at one time. Moreover, it can also pair with another Wonderboom speaker, or two Wonderboom speakers can connect with one source to play music concurrently. Isn't this a great feature on a 5000 Rupee Bluetooth portable speaker?
As far as its Bluetooth range is concerned, that is approx. 100-ft. In that field, the connectivity strength between the portable speaker system and the music-producing source remains at best. In fact, a range of hundred feet is far excellent. You do not need more than this in daily use. Thus, I would happily recommend this wireless speaker for a home party, outdoor picnic, or watching a cinema with the whole family.
Outstanding Sound Quality? This Bluetooth speaker beats even top-selling portable speakers of JBL, Philips, and Sony in performance. For instance, it has a 3D sound effect (or 360-degree sound effect). Watching a cinema with such sound while door and Windows are closed and lights are off would give a cinema hall experience at home. Such impressive sound effects this 5000 Rupees wireless speaker can produce. Is there any JBL or Philips best-selling speaker under 5000 Rupees, which can produce such advanced audio?
The Wonderboom wireless speaker consists of two 40-mm active drivers and two passive radiators 46.1×65.2 mm. And, according to the official website, the maximum sound level is 86-dBc.
Absolutely no complaints as far as audio clarity and BASS level are concerned. You listen to something on a high-pitch or low-pitch sound — that has no bearing on the quality of audio reaching your eardrum. I loved the BASS performance of this Ultimate brand speaker. In fact, that could be safely termed the best bass in a portable speaker.
The max audio output of this Ultimate Bluetooth speaker is 10 watts. That is more than enough to shake up not only your room but your flat, too. However, is the loudness of this speaker being indeed enough? It depends on the users per se. I found the speaker quite loud, but it may not be appropriately sufficiently loud for others and you. However, one thing is for sure its audio output is not meek, rather impactful.
Build Quality and Design: The build of this top-rated wireless portable speaker is a bit bulky. Its weight of 425 grams does not make it to the list of lightweight Bluetooth speakers. However, more substantial weight means its overall build is quite sturdy– not easily breakable. Because of its heavier weight, however, it is not an ideal wireless speaker to carry on a tour. Caring for almost 500 grams extra in a travel bag is not a practical notion.
While connectivity control functions are on the top side of this recommended wireless speaker for computers as well, volume control is on its front side. Adjusting the tune for your ear comfort becomes a lot easier. Especially its volume control function is easily reachable.
Battery Life: The brand Ultimate claims to have this wireless speaker for mobile also– roughly ten hours of music playtime. That, however, is not the actual backup. A fully charged battery lasts only seven to eight hours, in general.
Besides, to fully charge the battery –the required time duration at the beginning is two and a half hours. After a few months of use, however, the duration changed to three and slowly three and a half hours. Besides, one major drawback is not having a battery indicator on this wireless speaker.
No charger in the Sales (I do not see this as a cons. You can use any USB charger using the wire given in the sales box of this wireless speaker)
Pros: –
- Excellent build quality with User-friendly control
- Faster Wireless connectivity
- Excellent Audio Output with 3D Sound Effect
- Decent Music Listening time

- Advanced connectivity options
Cons: –
- No Battery Indicator

► 24W Envent LiveFree 590 Portable Wireless Speaker
The Envent Bluetooth speaker can produce max 24-Watts audio. Its audio being powerful means it would devour more battery power in less time. This portable speaker, therefore, has to have a robust battery onboard to power it up for many hours of use. The 4000 mAh battery of this speaker takes close to four hours to be fully charged. That renders almost eight to nine hours of music playing time.
Further, this Event portable wireless speaker comes with multiple connectivity points. Through Bluetooth, it connects fast, and the reliability of connectivity is quite stable, too.

► 24W Portronics Roar Portable Wireless Speaker
Portronics is a favorite brand for true-sounding speakers in the Indian market. Recently this Indian speaker brand included a new model called “Roar” in its portable Bluetooth speaker range.
Portronics Roar portable speaker looks very impressive and premium. It comes in a solid black color. Making its design a head-turner is its rugged build with a stylish metallic grille on the front. With a 6000-mAh battery, this Portronics speaker is an excellent choice to entertain outside gatherings continuously for many hours.
This Portronics Bluetooth speaker can generate 24W loud and clear sound from its 2.0-channel speaker system. Although the speaker system has no bass radiator, yet produces sound with booming deep bass. Low frequencies are well pronounced in the audio.
Is this Portronics wireless music & speaker system worth it at its current market price? Indeed it is a tricky question!
Portronics Roar speaker competes with Zoook Rocker Boombox+, which features a 5000-mAh battery and can generate 32W sound by its 2.0-channel Speaker system with two 1W Bass radiators. Moreover, the price difference between them is almost 1000 Rupees. Therefore, I will go with Zoook Boombox if I need to select from them. Because it is cheaper, louder, and has more features, including FM radio than its new competitor on the market from the house of Portronics.

► 10W Sony XB12 Wireless Speaker
The XB12 speaker model is not the successor of the XB10 speaker model, which is one of the best-selling portable wireless speakers in the 3000 to 4000 Rupees price range. They are competing against each other. So, you must know the exact difference between them to make the right selection.
Both speakers are similar as far as sound quality, loudness, and clarity are concerned. Both of them have a single speaker unit with a 46-mm driver for generating loud and clear sound with extra bass.
The visible differences between them are in their build quality and connectivity options. Sony XB12 is lighter and weighs 243 grams only. Whereas, the gross weight of the Sony XB10 is 260 grams. Sony XB12 with the IP67 rating is more secure against water than the XB10 speaker, which has an IPX5 rating only. Thus, in terms of the build quality, XB12 is better than XB10.
In terms of connectivity options, however, the Sony XB10 with NFC connectivity is better than the Sony XB12, which has only Bluetooth for wireless communication. But the Sony XB12 comes with Google Assistant. That means it can be operated by voice commands.
XB10 vs. XB12, which is the best Sony portable wireless speaker under 4000 Rupees? I will go with the latter. The reason is the Google Assistant feature.
