Five Bluetooth speakers to deconstruct the Music Festival - 20 Minutes

  • Due to the gradual deconfinement, the Fête de la Musique will not be playing at the same tempo this year as in previous years.
  • To celebrate the arrival of summer in a small group, our selection of Bluetooth speakers allows you to adapt to the workforce: alone, in pairs, in groups, in a small group.
  • From 99 euros for a portable speaker that will not leave you at 499 euros for a boombox sending big sound, "20 Minutes" presses "Play".

Don't want to mingle with the street crowd? On June 21, maintain the barrier gestures and make music with a Bluetooth speaker sized to your budget and your desires. From 99 euros to 399 euros, "20 Minutes" offers you its playlist of equipment adapted to your needs.

Boomster Go, by Teufel: to celebrate music by yourself, on your bike

You will hang it with his wrist strap on the handlebars of your bike (or your scooter) and thus enjoy your playlists freely. Discreet (10.2 x 10.7 x 4.6 cm, for 355 g) and available in different colors, the Boomster Go nomad speaker from the German brand Teufel will follow you in your wiretapping over the course of its 10 hours of autonomy with its 2600 mAh battery.

Sold for 99 euros, the Boomster Go speaker is ideal for listening to music solo. - TEUFEL

Despite its small size, this speaker manages to deliver a fairly balanced and warm sound that does not exclude the bass. On this point, we can prefer it to the small SoudLink Color II speaker from Bose (139 euros), despite the same autonomy. 99 euros.

GO PK5 from LG: in tune with listening to two, lovers

Launched 18 months ago, this small Bluetooth speaker benefits from an excellent performance / price ratio. Robust and light (1.2 kg), it is easily transportable with its large front handle. Tweaked with the English company Meridian, its audio quality is not questionable and the PK5 proves to be as comfortable in pop / rock registers where its bass will be revealed, as with more nuanced repertoires.

The small PK5 speaker will add color to your musical evenings. - LG

A "Clear Vocal" key even allows to highlight the voices of the artists. For a musical and romantic evening, its two speakers can be backlit by colored LEDs that will beat time. With the IPX 5 standard, the PK5 enclosure resists splashing water. No risk of damaging it at the first shower. Now 119 euros, its direct competitor, the Sony SRS-XB32, is also, but is more enduring, with a battery life of 24 hours, against only 10 hours for the LG speaker. 109 euros.

Stanmore II, from Marshall: enjoy the reunion with your music friends

Marshall's Stanmore II speaker cultivates its rock spirit: wooden box, textured imitation leather coating, metal finishes and old-fashioned physical buttons call for nostalgia. Measuring 35 x 19.5 x 18.5 cm for 5.85 kg, it is also a beautiful object.

Dressing in nostalgia, the Stanmore II speaker emits a powerful sound. - MARSHALL

If it only works on mains, it sends heavy: 80 watts of good power distributed over two 15 watt tweeters and a 50 watt woofer . Whether you choose to use it in Bluetooth 5.0 or wired (it has RCA sockets and a 3.5 mm jack input), it is a versatile that the promotions make more accessible:  299 euros, against 349 euros at launch.

Boombox 2, from JBL: to raise the sound on your roof top

Definitely the Bluetooth speaker to consider for band evenings. Transportable, offering up to 24 hours of autonomy thanks to its 10,000 mAh battery, the Boombox 2 is also waterproof (IPX7 standard) and can be submerged.

The Boom Box 2: a power monster which is also completely waterproof. - JBL

Massive and imposing with its 48 cm long and 6 kg, this speaker is capable of swinging up to 150 watts RMS. Suffice to say that your neighbors will not resist the cluster  of decibels during this Fête de la musique… Good point: the device also acts as a PowerBank to recharge the DJ's smartphone which may run out of steam before it. Muscular like no other, this Boombox 2 remains more the tool of choice for hippy outdoor evenings than for religious and confined musical listening. 499 euros.

Sony MHC-V42D: boost the beach or your garage

As part of the trend of "evening speakers" which Sony had initiated 4 years ago, the MHC-V42D offers just about everything to celebrate music.

With the MHC-V42D package, the light effects are included. - SONY

Appearing as a toolbox for listening, mixing, or singing, the device is equipped with a CD / DVD player, a Bluetooth connection, a gestural interface allowing the pieces to be chained with a gesture of hand or send sound effects. Also on board: light shows worthy of a mobile disco. Impressive from its 80 cm high, the enclosure is just as impressive by its devastating firepower. 379 euros.
