Portable Bluetooth Speakers — Release Timeline
Every major portable Bluetooth speaker release from 2023 to 2025, sorted newest first.
Last updated: February 2026 • 18 products tracked • 7 brands
Portable speakers are booming. JBL dominates volume and releases multiple tiers annually (Flip, Charge, Xtreme, Boombox). Bose focuses premium with SoundLink Max and SoundLink Plus. Sony pushed ULT FIELD as a bass-heavy sub-brand. Marshall brings the retro amp aesthetic. The big trend in 2024-2025: Auracast (Bluetooth LE Audio) for syncing multiple speakers together. Tip: IP67 is the minimum waterproof rating worth having — it means 30 minutes at 1 meter depth. Anything less is splash-resistant only.
