As the sun begins to show itself for the first time this year, I can't help but get excited about hanging out in the park with friends and listening to our favorite songs. I always make sure I have one of the best Bluetooth speakers on hand.

I've tested a whole host of speakers, from larger boom boxes to tiny keychain speakers you can hang on your bag, and I have my favorites. Whether it's the most balanced soundstage or the loudest sound possible, I have recommendations for anything you could possibly need.

I've gathered 12 of our highest-rated portable Bluetooth speakers that I love listening to, so you can get the best sound possible as you soak up the sun's rays as the days get longer and warmer.
