Comparisons – Which portable speaker should I choose?

This helps you to choose the right BlueAnt portable speaker based on size, loudness, battery life, and how you plan to use it, from ultra-compact everyday speakers to larger portable models with deeper bass.

Customer-Facing Answer

BlueAnt portable speakers are designed for everyday listening, travel, and small gatherings. The best choice depends on how portable you need the speaker to be and how much sound output you want.

Use the guide below to find the right fit for your needs.

Ultra-Compact & Everyday Portable Speakers

X0i

Best for:

• Personal listening
• Travel and backpacks
• Desk or bedside use

What to expect:

• Very compact and lightweight
• Designed for close-range listening
• Easy to carry anywhere

Choose the X0i if you want the smallest possible portable speaker for everyday use. 

X1i

Best for:

• Casual listening at home or outdoors
• Small spaces or small groups
• A balance between size and sound

What to expect:

• More volume and bass than ultra-compact speakers
• Still easy to carry and store
• Suitable for both indoor and light outdoor use

Choose the X1i if you want something small but with a bit more presence than an ultra-compact speaker.

Mid-Size Portable Speaker

X2i

Best for:

• Louder listening without going full party speaker
• Picnics, backyards, or small gatherings
• A strong balance of portability and output

What to expect:

• Noticeably louder than compact models
• Fuller sound with stronger bass
• Still portable enough to move easily

Choose the X2i if you want a step up in sound without sacrificing portability.

X3i

Best for:

• Outdoor use and social gatherings
• Filling medium-sized spaces with sound
• Users who want portability with more impact

What to expect:

• Higher volume and deeper bass than smaller portable models
• Designed to be moved, but not pocket-sized
• Better suited to group listening

Choose the X3i if you want a portable speaker that can comfortably handle group listening.

Large Portable Speakers (Maximum Output, Still Portable)

X3D

Best for:

• Bigger sound in portable form
• Louder outdoor environments
• Users who prioritise bass and volume

What to expect:

• Strong bass and higher output than X3i
• Portable, but larger and heavier than mid-size models
• Designed for impact rather than ultra-light travel

Choose the X3D if you want powerful sound while still keeping the speaker portable.

X3D MAX

Best for:

• Maximum sound from a portable speaker
• Larger spaces or outdoor use
• Users who want the biggest portable option available

What to expect:

• The loudest and most powerful portable speaker in the range
• Deep bass and strong presence
• Less about compactness, more about performance

Choose the X3D MAX if you want the biggest sound possible without moving into party speaker territory.

Things to Keep in Mind

• All portable speakers connect to one Bluetooth device at a time
• Battery life varies depending on volume level and music type
• Smaller speakers prioritise portability over loudness
• Larger portable speakers provide more bass and volume, but take up more space

If you want microphones, multi-speaker Party Mode, or very large sound output, a party speaker may be a better option.

Summary

• Maximum portability: X0i
• Small but capable: X1i
• Balanced size and sound: X2i
• Louder portable listening: X3i
• High-impact portable sound: X3D
