Anker - Motion 300

Is plug in acceptable or only battery? If battery, uBoom x. If plug in and can air the $200 sale, Marshall Acton 3 For portability, get the Soundcore 300 - two in stereo and you'll still be under $120. Sounds great!

Then the Klipsch Nashville is the best. It's on sale for $100 (retails for $150) on Amazon. Has 2x the battery of the Bose Flex 2 (24 hrs vs 12hr) and you can stand it on its head for a small footprint like the Flip 6 (Bose has a paperback book footprint). It is full sounding, clear (not as dark as the Bose) in the mids and highs. And the sound comes out equally in the front & back. It's higher user rated then the Bose at 4.7/5 on Amazon I've OWNED all the speakers listed on this thread, and compared them head to head so I have a good idea. The market leader based on marketing is the Bose and JBLs (most readily available locally) and will be the most widely mentioned here...they're both decent as well, but the Klipsch is better, full stop..... After this one, I'd save my money and get a Soundcore 300 for $55--it's a Bose clone and sounds close enough to not warrant the extra cash outlay. Btw, eventually getting two of these smallish speakers (of any brand) is the right way to proceed because when linked in stereo, the soundscape really opens up to satisfying!

Soundcore X300 is perfect for my bathroom use and it’s a fantastic bang for your buck.

So the best choices for this are generally the [Earfun Uboom L or the Soundcore Motion 300 with Oluv's EQ](https://www.speakerranking.com/small-medium-size/). The Uboom L is a little more neutral and lighter, but the Motion 300 has a recessed power button and won't turn on in a bag and is a little more portable because it's flatter. Both of them can do stereo pairing. Those speakers among all others are ranked in the [over 1000 upvotes pinned post in this sub](https://www.reddit.com/r/WirelessSpeakers/comments/16zs2ol/ranking_all_battery_powered_wireless_speakers/)

If you want a waterproof, portable speaker I would recommend Anker Soundcore Motion 300, been really great for me

I was planning to return and purchase soundcore 300 or motion plus or bose soundlink flex but unfortunately amazon doesn't return anymore, only replacement
