Marley Riddim Mini Bluetooth () - The Marley Riddim is one of the best looking Bluetooth speakers you can pick up for under £100. It sounds decent and will last around 10 hours.

Obviously it's not the loudest speaker on the market, but it can deliver a good amount of volume at a stellar price.
Jam Heavy Metal HX-P920 ()Considering it costs under £60, the Jam Heavy Metal has no business being as good as it is. It’s got a great design with its aluminium case and delivers big base and clear treble.
Bluetooth Minirig portable speaker () - This speaker packs a punch considering its tiny size and can go for up to 40 hours with a wired connection. Even when using Bluetooth it’ll probably outlast any party you’re planning on throwing this year.
Denon Envaya ()In terms of sheer sound quality for under £150, it’s hard to match the Denon Envaya. It sounds great as well as being waterproof and can go for 13 hours straight.
Bose Soundlink Color II () The Bose Soundlink Color II is another speaker belying its tiny size to provide great quality sound. Its sturdy construction is a plus as well and it can surely handle a few knocks at a party.
Bluetooth speaker or smart speaker?
Before you commit to a standalone Bluetooth speaker, it's worth considering Amazon's Echo (not the Dot or Spot) and the Google Home.
Both can be used as Bluetooth speakers when paired to a smartphone, and both come in at under £150.
