Bluetooth speakers come in all sizes, shapes and prices, and you can find them on almost every shelf. While it is understandable that the best speakers will be costlier, that doesn’t mean you can’t find a decent portable device at a lower price. It is true that you have to compromise when it comes to fancier features, because you can’t expect a $20 speaker to come with all the bells and whistles. But as long as the audio quality and battery life are good enough, there’s no reason to break the bank and buy the most expensive gadget on the market.

Here are 5 of the best Bluetooth speakers on a budget:
