Everyone loves music – our world would seem to be lifeless without it. And, in our opinion, speakers are the best tools to use when listening and sharing music. However, traditional speakers are quite a nuisance. You need a power cord, an audio cable, and a lot of other things to set up. Thanks to technology, we’ve now come to a point where speakers no longer need strings. All you need to have is a device that has Bluetooth/Wi-Fi technology and a list of songs you’d like to play. Here are our top picks for wireless speakers you can buy in Singapore.

One of the most dominating brands in the portable speaker industry is, of course, JBL – probably, you’re already familiar with it. And one of its products is the first on our list, the Clip 2. First and foremost, it’s the smallest speaker here; it’s just about the size of your palm.
It sounds decent at best when compared to all the speakers on this list. For its size, you can’t expect it to provide significant bass. It has crisp mids and highs, and it can continue playing your tune for up to eight hours at 50% volume.
The best thing about this Bluetooth speaker is its waterproof feature. It even floats, so you don’t have to worry if you drop it in the pool. Although there are others on this list having the same attribute, this one has to earn the title due to its price. For less than SGD 100, it’s stunning to have such a speaker. It's also available in 8 different designs!

Another JBL product is the Xtreme, which is the complete opposite of the Clip 2. The moment you lay your eyes on this speaker, you’ll know it’s the party solution. The Xtreme is indeed extreme when it comes to size; it’s the biggest and heaviest (two kilograms) of the bunch.
Of course, since it is quite humongous, it packs a lot of bass and volume. This speaker is best for parties or large rooms. When it comes to sound quality, we have to say that the mids are faintly muffled due to the powerful bass. If that somewhat bothers you, an equalizer should solve it right away. But as they say though, sound depends on a person’s preference.
The Xtreme also has a relatively extended battery life on this list (18 hours on a full charge). Overall, it’s an excellent speaker that can provide a crowd the sound they need. Granted, it is quite bulky, but it’s still more portable when you compare it to a home sound system. If you love bass and some fun times with your friends, the JBL Xtreme is for you.
