Loud Bluetooth Speakers Buyer’s Guide
In order to be a roaring Bluetooth speaker, or at least to be within the same league as the super loud speakers, there are certain criteria your smart speaker must hit. Our team of experienced audio engineers have isolated the important points to look for to facilitate your search.
Decibel Rating
Aside from the power, which our audio team will get to in a minute, the decibel rating, or sensitivity, is a major player in hour loud your Bluetooth speaker will be. The room environment will matter, because a good sensitivity rating in a small room will not sound the same in a spacious one.
Our experts say to look for a decibel rating of at least 88dB in a loud Bluetooth speaker. Most average ones range from 87 to 88, which means you will also get average sound quality.
If you want better, our team likes to suggest 90dB at the very least for louder audio. However, ones that offer over 100, such as the W-King T9-1 with a decibel of 105dB is amazing.
Since we are talking about the loudest speakers with Bluetooth, our team would suggest no less than 90 but look for ones over 100 if possible.
Power
There are 2 types of power ratings in the loudest speakers with or without Bluetooth – the RMS and the peak power or max power. The RMS is the continuous output your speakers can handle over a longer period, while the peak power is the highest output your speaker can reach in short bursts.
Since the RMS is prolonged, the rating won’t be as impressive as the peak power. However, our team cautions that it is the RMS that is more important.
So, how much is enough wattage for your speaker? Most average listeners will find that 20 watts is sufficient for home theaters. However, we are trying to identify the loudest models on the market, which is why the options our team has included offer 20 to over 100 watts.
If you’re looking to boost the audio in your home, 20 watts should be enough. For those looking to entertain guests outdoors or in a large venue, then our team has plenty of suggestions that reach 50 watts and over. Keep in mind that loud noise can damage your hearing over time, which is a risk that comes with over-blasting your speakers.
SPL
The SPL, or sound pressure level, in a speaker refers to the sensitivity plus the efficiency of the device. How evenly and well does the speaker project the sound. A higher SPL also equates to a louder speaker. The SPL is also measured in dB like sensitivity, and the higher the number the louder your smart speakers will be.
Much like the sensitivity, our experts suggest going for 90 at the very least but trying to find models that exceed 100dB.
Bluetooth Version
It’s very common for speakers to have Bluetooth, which is why we have dedicated an entire article to such types. The version of wireless connectivity your loud Bluetooth speaker has will greatly impact user-friendliness and your overall impression of the device.
You will find Bluetooth 4.2 and 5.0 in the above models we have suggested. Our sound engineers don’t often include models with more elementary versions of Bluetooth because they don’t meet our connection standards.
A major difference between 4.2 and 5.0 Bluetooth is the distance. For example, 4.2 speakers like Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 5 may provide users with around a 60-foot connection range at the furthest, but 5.0 Bluetooth can extend that up to 100 feet! Not to mention, there will also be a more stable connection. If given a choice, we would suggest you pick the 5.0 Bluetooth over the former any day.
Connectivity
Other than wireless Bluetooth, your speakers should also have wired connections. You will find audio inputs such as AUX and RCA. The more audio connections your speaker has, the more devices it can potentially work with. Aside from audio connections for Bluetooth, it could also allow you to pair your device with voice assistants.
Voice assistant integration with the likes of Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa will bring another layer of convenience to your speaker features. Many people wonder if wired or wireless connections. In all honesty, they both have their benefits and drawbacks.
For one thing, our team members really appreciate wireless options because it adds a level of portability to a smaller speaker. Of course, stationary speakers can also have Bluetooth even if they aren’t meant to be transportable.
The connection also gives multiple placement options, which may not exist in a speaker that needs to be hard wired.
On the other hand, wired speakers tend to have more power and stability, but our audiophiles have proven that even Bluetooth models can produce expansive speaker sounds comparable to wired models. At the end of the day, the best choice is the one that works best for you.
Microphone
Most of the loudest Bluetooth devices on our list have built-in microphones. These mics make it easy to form hands-free control with the voice assistant device of your choice, but they also transform your Bluetooth speaker into one that supports hands-free calls.
You might have some options that have a mic, headphone, and even guitar inputs. Even if there isn’t a directly in-built mic, you can still enjoy this feature if an input exists. Of course, having a built-in mic will make things infinitely easier if you need to give voice commands and it saves space.
Before you dive into just any old model with a microphone, make sure it is noise cancelling and is highly sensitive. There is nothing more bothersome than trying your best to dictate commands and your mic not picking up your voice.
Mobile Application
Not all Bluetooth speakers have a controllable mobile app, but all of them will be able to connect to your mobile device. If you connect the speaker to your smartphone, you should be able to administer basic controls from the palm of your hand.
However, Bluetooth devices that have a compatible app will allow you to conduct more in-depth settings such as the EQ and audio modes. For your convenience, our experts suggest looking for Bluetooth speakers that have a mobile application. If not, a remote control can come in handy too.
If you are someone who is perfectly fine with getting up and heading over to the speaker’s location to adjust the settings, then this section is a less pressing detail.

Waterproofing
Waterproofing is not a necessity for a Bluetooth speaker, but it’s definitely a decent bonus. Having a waterproof speaker will be infinitely better for those who frequent the beach or the pool. Manufacturers give the loudest waterproof Bluetooth speakers IP waterproof ratings [1].
The first digit after the IP is the protection the speaker has against solids and the second is liquids. If you have an “X” in either of the sections, it means the speaker isn’t protected against substances in that category.
As you may have noticed, all the models that are waterproof on our team’s expertly curated list have an IPX_ rating, which means the speakers are more protected against liquids. We have also carefully chosen ones that have a waterproof rating of at least 5, with the highest one up to 7.
What do these figures mean? A solid protection rating of 5 gives speakers full protection against water projected from a nozzle, which basically means poolside or beachside splashes are fine.
A 6 rating increases the level of protection to guard against everything the previous tiers offer plus powerful water jets. At level 7, which the DBSoars Bluetooth speaker offers, makes the speaker impervious to water immersion up to 1 meter.
Battery Life
The battery life in a speaker is also extremely important, especially in portable models. Ideally, our team says to look for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries with 8,000 mAH at the bare minimum. At this rate, it should guarantee you up to 4 hours.
If you plan on staying outside for much longer or intend to use the speaker during camping trips, then you need a 12,000 mAH battery at the very least.
Our audio experts say 4 hours of playtime is the very least you should expect. Our list features many models that can exceed 10 hours, with one that can even reach 40!
Size
The size and design of the Bluetooth speaker will come into consideration when you’re thinking about portability. A big reason why many people opt for Bluetooth speakers is for their versatility and mobility. However, there is little use for a Bluetooth speaker you intend on carrying around with you if it’s overly heavy.
The size and the weight both factor into the portability. Users may think that a smaller speaker may not be as loud. While that may be the case for some, it surely isn’t for the more compact models on our list. Some of the options we listed have 40, 50 and even 100 watts of power projecting from such a smaller speaker of less than 10 inches.
It’s not really the size that dictates the loudness, but rather the roles of the speaker drivers, power, and sensitivity ratings that contribute to the sound quality. Look for a compact speaker if you want a portable model. If you simply want a very loud speaker equipped with Bluetooth for your home theater, then you should look at the space you have to spare in your setup.
Safety Reminders to Avoid Hearing Loss
Loud speakers are incredibly satisfying, especially when you’re bopping to the rumbling bass in a large venue. No matter how fulfilling the initial experience is, it is definitely not worth any hearing damage, which is why our team has come up with a few safety reminders to save your eardrums.
An obvious and very effective way of preventing hearing impairment over long exposure to high levels of sound intensity is to wear hearing protection. We know that no one is going to wear hearing protection because it defeats the purpose of purchasing a loud Bluetooth speaker.
The best way to limit hearing loss is to avoid overexposure to loud sounds. Even if you do play louder music at times, it won’t have a detrimental effect if you don’t do it often. Sounds below 70dB are safe, from 70 to 80dB is still okay if you don’t listen to audio at that level for long.
Anything at 85dB or exceeding that level will induce hearing problems, especially over a long period of time. Therefore, our team suggests limiting decibel levels to 70 and below for the most part.
