Top Portable Speaker Brands: JBL and Bose

One of the first things you'll probably want to look at when choosing a portable speaker is the brand. Ideally, you'll probably want to buy from a brand that has a reputation for quality. JBL and Bose are two of the top brands that come to mind. We see them a lot here at Hilltop Pawn, and our customers always come in asking for these two brands. Bose is considered a more premium brand when it comes to their portable speakers, but JBL is also very popular and is a great budget-friendly option, too. If you start by looking for one of these two brands, you can't really go wrong, especially with Hilltop Pawn's rock-bottom prices!

Important Features to Look for in Portable Speakers

Not all portable speakers are created equally, and it only makes sense to look at the features of each speaker that you're considering so you can make the right choice. These are some of the things you'll probably want to look at so you can make the right decision:

• Battery life - One of the great things about a portable speaker is the fact that you can take it anywhere, without worrying about plugging it in. Naturally, you'll want it to last as long as possible. If you're going to be using your portable speaker during long workdays, you'll probably want to look for a speaker with at least a 12 hour battery life, just to be on the safe side. Just be aware that some portable speakers have much longer battery lives -- in fact, JBL has a model that lasts for 28 hours!

• Size - Some people don't mind a bigger portable speaker, while others look for something smaller that can easily be tucked into their bag.

• Sound quality - Higher-end portable speakers are generally going to have better sound quality. Be aware that some models are better for some genres than others. For example, JBL is a good choice if you're into hip-hop or EDM, while Bose is a better choice for other genres, in most cases.

• Rating - If you're going to be taking your portable speaker on the beach or to a dusty worksite, you may want to look for a speaker that is rated to be dust proof and waterproof.
