I was not sure the size you needed, but I have had a chance to try the Tribit Stormbox 2 or Soundcore Glow or Motion 300. 👍

The Soundcore Glow had decent low bass sound and includes an eq.

I would suggest the Soundcore glow for 4000 INR or below, its a mind blowing speaker for classical songs with its 360 sound. But it was last on sale in diiwali and after that its price is too high so skip it at 4k above price. The QCY SP7 is the loudest speaker at 4k Inr available on flipkart and next comes the Xiaomi sound outdoor, which is good but is all about bass and recessed everything else(good for teenagers) If cost is not an issue, get a Sony ult field 1 as it has the best mids and vocals along with punchy bass. Although i myself use a lot of JBL speakers, am not recommending them as the smaller JBl speakers like the flip, go,clip etc are very treble focussed which is not good for elderly people as everyone in my famiily complains about their harshness. If you want a JBL, the charge 5 is a very good option at 10-12k Inr Other notable low cost ooptions are the Portronics Fynixx 30 watt at 2500INR The Soundcore motion plus is also one of the clearest audio device but its not worth the price. At that price we can get larger speakers like Tribit Stormbox Lava (11k INR). If you want the best expansive soundstage and wide stereo sound, get the Soundcoore X600, you will never regret it. SInce you did not mention the size or wattage you require, i mentioned all the possible options worth a try. Conclusion- Overall for a small speaker which is the best bang for the back and beats everything else, get the QCY SP7, if you don't trust it pick the Xiaomi sound outdoor. If you want bigger speakers, The tribit Storboxx lava is the best among all (tried and tested) and then comes the JBL charge 5 followed by Sony ULT field 1. if you want a Hi-FI spatial audio speaker, get the Soundcore X600 or the Motion Plus as per your budget.

I would say soundcore glow is the best under 5k especially in India where we don't have many options.

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

I have two of the soundcore speakers for stereo sound and they are awesome. Use them outside and on the beach and the screens have some rust on them but the sound is still great. Only had them 4 years and no problems.

My current shower speaker is on it's last legs and I need to replace it. Problem is that I can't find a single speaker out there with dedicated Next/Back buttons. This is a must-have for me, as I can't stand the double/triple click method. Any recommendations on decent speakers with this feature? Bonus points if it has USB-C charging, but I can overlook that for dedicated buttons.

Nope unfortunately after tons of research I learned this doesn't exist anymore and ended up just getting the Anker Soundcore which requires double clicks and such. Very sad
