5 Best Speaker Docks For Your Phone in 2024

Music is an integral part of our lives as we all know. While traditionally, music was enjoyed over conventional speakers, the trend has changed significantly today. We enjoy music in a variety of forms today. While most of us use headphones to enjoy their favorite tunes, there are still some who prefer listening to it the conventional way, through speakers. One of the primary issues with speakers is that it’s hard to come by, plus one of the major negatives of speakers is that they’re not portable. This is where speaker docks come into the picture. Keeping this in mind, we’re going to have a look at some of the best speaker docs available for any smartphone.

With this being the holiday season, customers are more likely to be shopping for something like this. So to make your job easier, we have compiled a list of products that will surely go into your shopping list. We’re discussing a variety of products here, which come with varying price points. So keeping this in mind, we suggest you to have a closer look at all these models.

5 best speaker docks for your phone

Pyle Home PHST94IPGL

This particular speaker dock comes with a multitude of support, including the crucial 3.5mm audio jack, letting you connect them directly over your headphone port. However, if you have an iPhone or iPod, you’ll find these speakers to be the best suited component for your house. The speakers are made using wood, which adds to the overall sound coming through. It’s a pretty good product, and that’s evident from the appearance. The dock also comes with a built-in FM radio, with the ability to store each channel according to your convenience. This means you won’t have to manually tune in every time you want to listen to your favorite station. It also comes with a decent amount of bass on board, which is what most people look for with docks. The Pyle Home features an 8-inch subwoofer, dual 3.5-inch main drivers and two 1-inch tweeters on board for optimum audio performance.

If there’s one thing we miss here, it’s the wireless connectivity. But it seems like the manufacturers are trusting the wired performance of the speakers (which still remains the best way to enjoy music).

Bowers & Wilkins Zeppelin Air

These particular speakers are a little easier on your wallets, and are slightly smaller compared to the dock we discussed above. It’s definitely worth a try for those considering a cheaper alternative from a big brand like B&W. The Zeppelin Air by default comes with support for Apple’s proprietary 30-pin dock or the Lightning connector, but there’s also the ability to connect a 3.5mm audio jack, which can be helpful if you don’t have an iOS device. As far as the performance is concerned, it surely won’t disappoint the audiophiles. It comes with a power rating of 150 watts, which is adequate for a decently sized room. The speakers can also stream content over Wi-Fi, which is an amazing feature to have as it can offer lossless audio, unlike Bluetooth. This explains why most dock speakers don’t come with Bluetooth functionality on board.

It comes with a centre subwoofer, two mid-range drivers and two tweeters which offer a pretty rich audio performance combined. Although the model is quite old in the industry, it is still an excellent offering for those considering speaker docks on a budget this holiday season.

Yamaha CRX-330

These speakers also come with support for Apple’s 30-pin dock, although the 3.5mm audio jack support is the lifesaver here, especially for Android users. There’s plenty that these speakers can do, and the looks don’t disappoint either. It has an old-school receiver like appearance, which will definitely strike a chord with those who grew up listening to songs on conventional receivers. It also comes with a USB port on board, letting you play MP3 files directly from a USB thumb drive or even your Android smartphone/tablet. As far as connectivity options are concerned, the Yamaha CRX-330 has you well covered. The audio performance might not be as great as the other speakers we mention on this list, but the fact that it comes with a seasoned player like Yamaha combined by the old-school design makes us want to consider this.

Wattage is rated at 60 watts, which is pretty average for speaker docks, but enough to brighten up a decently sized room. The price leaves a lot to be desired, however. it is relatively higher compared to the others on the list. But if that’s not particularly a problem for you, be sure to have a closer look.

Bose SoundDock III

This is more popular among speaker docks out there. This was designed to appeal to the younger crowd, and the price tag does justice to the device as well. It comes with Apple’s more recent Lightning port on board, although you can also use your 3.5mm headphone jack alternatively to play music. Sadly, there’s no Bluetooth connectivity here, so you will be limited to using the 3.5mm headphone port if you own an Android smartphone or tablet. This isn’t much of an inconvenience given that we’ve come to expect this of speaker docks. It also comes with an RF powered Bose remote, allowing you to change tracks as you like from a distance. The design is classy and elegant, just as you would expect from a manufacturer like Bose.

Censhi speaker dock for phone

This is one of our favorite speakers on this list, not because it’s the cheapest, but also because it comes with Bluetooth support on board. Docks usually don’t come with Bluetooth, however, this offering by Censhi is an exception to that rule.

This Bluetooth speaker dock has 15W powerful sound and well-balanced bass.

It comes with an elegant design, which would fit in nicely in any room. It also has a composite display out option, allowing you to view videos from an iOS device on a bigger screen. Be sure to have a closer look at these speakers.
