Music makes the world go round, and that's why it's one of the wealthiest industries in the world. As music continues to become more and more digitized, carrying it with you gets easier than ever. If you want to share your music with the world, then you can do so fairly easily with a portable Bluetooth speaker.

Today, companies are rolling out with high-quality Bluetooth speakers. We put them to the test, and found the best portable Bluetooth speakers currently being sold on the market...

One of the best portable Bluetooth speakers out there comes from Fugoo, and it's easy to see why. Despite being stylish and "retro" enough to look comfy on your backpack, the Fugoo Style XL is rugged enough to handle all terrain and all weather, too.

Waterproof, shockproof, and with awesome sound quality to boot, the Fugoo Style XL is a perfect pick for people who are always on the go. Why? Because it has a very impressive 35 hours of battery life before you need to recharge.

By reputation alone, the JBL Flip 2 is one of the best portable Bluetooth speakers ever made — and one of the better bargains on this list. Dual drivers, a built-in bass port, and a rechargeable battery make the Flip 2 one of the smartest buys for its price range.

Users get great sound quality, and also get the added perk of being able to choose the speaker in the color that matches their personal style. Bluetooth connectivity and awesome noise cancellation, though, really make this a must-see for audiophiles.

The Bose SoundLink Mini II is one of those speakers that was tailored to deliver amazing sound quality, hours of high-performance battery life, and a gorgeous exterior. Unlike others that were made with the same goals in mind, Bose actually succeeded in making a seriously superior product.

A built-in speaker phone, up to 10 hours of continual battery play, and lightning fast Bluetooth connectivity make the Bose SoundLink Mini II one of the best portable Bluetooth speakers money can buy. So, while it's pricey, it's worth every penny.

Miss the era of the 80s, with those mega boombox blasters? Well, you're going to love the Jawbone Big Jambox, then. This massive box works as one of the best portable Bluetooth speakers on the market, and comes with an optional carrying case that gives it the "Master Blaster" look of yesteryear.

Along with impeccable style and a variety of colors, the Jawbone Big Jambox also has the added perk of being smart technology. So, when you're not listening to killer beats, you can use it to send emails and hear calendar alerts. Convenient? Absolutely, and that's why it's awesome.

If you're a camping aficionado looking for wireless, waterproof speakers with added functionality, you might like the Buckshot Pro 3-in-1. This rugged Bluetooth speaker is waterproof, shockproof, and also functions as an emergency flashlight.

These surprisingly affordable speakers come in a variety of different colors, including a glow-in-the-dark model. They are also highly portable, have a passive bass port, and come with a free bicycle mount for more musical travels.

If you love listening to music in the shower, but don't want just any ol' speaker to give you that wireless goodness, you need to check out the UE Wonderboom. Waterproof, small enough to hang up on a shower rack, and cute as a button, it's basically designed to deliver great sound quality without the worry of going on the fritz.

This is a luxury speaker that's rugged, super portable, and won't judge you if you enjoy a lot of shower beers. It also can come with optional carrying cases and accessories, which makes it a great speaker for travelers, too.

Fans of elegant, minimalist design or gear customization will love the Beats Pill+. This petite, sleek little portable speaker is one of the best portable Bluetooth speakers to come with the option of custom skins.

Good sound quality, Bluetooth ranges of up to 30 feet, a 12-hour rechargeable battery, and an excellent speakerphone feature make this a great choice for almost any lifestyle possible.

With a product name like OontZ, you know that you can expect this to be one of the best wireless Bluetooth speakers for heavy bass lines and loud sound. And, the Oontz Angle 3 Plus Edition definitely lives up to expectations.

Rich bass sound, water resistant materials, great sound quality, and a whopping 30 hours of continuous play time between charges make this a great portable speaker. The design of the speaker isn't too shabby, either. It's roll-proof, sleek, and fits perfectly on any shelf.

If you're looking for waterproof speakers that are built for gritty outdoor work, you might want to check out the IPX6 Bluetooth speaker by APIE. It's as rugged as it gets, and is so waterproof, it even works in the shower.

Quick Bluetooth connectivity and great sound quality makes the APIE IPX6 proof that you don't need to shell out hundreds of dollars to get superior sound quality or hours of continual play time. If you're looking for great tech gadgets under $50, this definitely counts.

One of the newcomers to the portable speaker world is DOSS, and boy, do they know how to make some of the best portable Bluetooth speakers out there! This stylishly built speaker comes with HD sound quality, built-in bass, and an intuitive design.

Designed to sync with the last device to use it automatically, getting a DOSS speaker is a great way to make sure that you get all the sound quality you want without the hassle of syncing every five seconds.
