The market for the best Bluetooth speakers isn’t exactly left short of options. All budgets are catered for and, as we’ve found, you don’t necessarily need to spend a lot of money to get a great-sounding portable speaker to accompany you at a party, at the beach or on your summer holiday.
Spending more can have its benefits, though, and the latest to join the more premium-end of the Bluetooth speaker market are the Beats Pill and Sonos Roam 2. Both have substantial brand appeal and plenty of style points, but as I found out when using them side by side, they’re in many ways two very different propositions. One is a ‘back to basics’ speaker that focuses on ease of use, while the other is feature-packed and offers more in the way of daisy-chaining.
