The 5 best Bluetooth speakers of 2023

Tech Specs: Battery life: 24 hours | Water resistant: IP67 | Multi-device connect: N/A | Compatibility: iOS, Android, PC, Mac | Voice controls: N/A 

The Sony SRS-XB43 has one of the most impressive batteries I've seen in a Bluetooth speaker. It gives you up to 24 hours of playback on a full charge, and is strong enough to charge your mobile devices as well. You can connect your tablet, phone, or laptop via Bluetooth for a true wireless connection or via USB or USB-C for charging or for a more stable, hardwired connection. 

You can use the Fiestable or Sony Music Center app to create custom playlists, change lighting patterns, and set custom EQ levels for personalized audio. It even works with Siri and Google Assistant for hands-free controls or making and receiving calls. 

The Sony SRS-XB43 also delivers high-quality audio with separate drivers, tweeters, and bass radiators, so every tone is crystal clear. And if you want even more audio options, you can connect this speaker with up to 100 other Bluetooth speakers, Sony brand or otherwise, to create truly unique audio systems for your home or outdoor space.
