Boom 2
Loud, bassy beast; needs EQ, no aux.

Running these analyses costs money. Buy through my links to help keep lights on! I may get a small commission.
I have a boom 2 SE it sounds decent for what it is but nothing to write home about I’m planning on getting a boom V2 with the tweeters and an actual woofer it will sound better than the SE. I’ll get it when it drops in price again I’ve already heard it at Costco decent buy if I can get it for $70 or $80.
Anker Boom 2 is on sale for $90. If you buy refurbished - excellent you can get two for $150 and pair them up.
Anker boom 2 has good bass, awesome lights and decent portability for under £100
Anker refurbish from their ebay store. Motion boom is $63 and boom 2 is $81. both come with a 2yr warranty. Just stay away from the boom 2se. It's the red headed stepchild.
This is sage advice: two speakers for different use cases. I tried to settle on one speaker that would be practical for their grandkid's purposes, that is, parties *and* hiking, camping and water sports, and couldn't. A boombox for when volume and better fidelity is required; a smaller speaker for outdoor on-the-go activities. OP, as well as Earfun and Tribit, Anker (Soundcore) has enough of a lineup to satisfy different criteria. For instance, [Soundcore Boom or Soundcore Boom 2 ](https://www.amazon.com/s?k=anker+soundcore+boom&i=electronics&crid=9EFL7JVSRBJK&sprefix=anker+soundcore+boom%2Celectronics%2C123&ref=nb_sb_noss_1)are smaller boomboxes; the Soundcore Boom 3i is a tough, outdoor, portable speaker.
I’ve been using the Anker soundcore. Good price and great audio quality.
Not entirely sure but if pop in anker soundcore on amazon you’ll find the portable speaker. It’s usually on a deal between 25-30
