The inverse square law means that all speakers yuo walk away from will get exponentialyl quieter. And the bigger they are, the more power they can store and the more air they can move (which is sound). True, some are better than others, but there are real physical limits. if you want small speakers, try getting two, and connecting them with TWS (get models that do that) or party mode (not stereo, but you can chain lots of them) as you can then place them a distance apart for a wider area of loud sound for the same power. Smallish boxes that do something like this well could be the soundcore motion boom (the original). Two of these is better than one 80W box, and when on offer ou can get fof 100 notes. But they are not SMALL. Medium-small, they are.
It's easy to google the sizes of them. Look at the sizes of the soundcore motion boom, which is kind of its own size. You might even get two of them in the duffel bag. Soundcore motion Boom plus, its bigger brother, you might get in the duffle bag depending on exactly what you mean by a normal duffel bag size. However, it also comes with its own strap which you can use instead and just carry it on its own strap. But in some ways two of the smaller motion boom may be better because you can then get music over a bigger area. See how your preferences to what you want and size limitations are. If you decide you prefer some of the other boxes I mention, then they're roughly the same size as the bigger motion boom plus. There are also smaller boxes which don't necessarily have as much bass, but which may do. There's a smaller Earfun, ?L (i don't remember), and probably a couple of others which may be about the same size as the smaller motion boom, which major you good. Again, look at the sizes and get your tape measure out. you can see reviews. Alan Ross does some fun videos. Reviewing.
Go for the Motion Boom (Soundcore). It's great value for money, sound quality, and bass, but the original is hard to find in some countries; if not, get the Boom 2. That said, the EQ upgrade is a must, but currently, with the update, the woofers sound better than if it had a tweeter; it's very well-balanced.
If you're looking for high volume and powerful bass, you'll have to compromise on speaker size. I had a Soundcore Motion Boom, which is significantly more powerful than the JBL Charge. But even that wasn't powerful enough for my taste, especially for outdoor use. I switched to the EarFun UBOOM X and couldn't be happier. Yes, it's big and weighs 4 kilos. I even transport two of them on my bike to private outdoor events. It takes some effort and hassle, but it's absolutely worth it. For me, the UBOOM X is the perfect compromise between size and sound. It delivers absolutely great, rich and full sound at volumes that are sufficient for me. A speaker with an even higher maximum volume that is larger and heavier would not be an option for me. However, I wouldn't want anything with less power than the UBOOM X. It offers so much more power than a JBL Charge, and even significantly more power than a JBL Xtreme, Soundcore Boom 2, or Tribit Lava. There are numerous sound comparisons on YouTube that prove this. You might find this video interesting. [https://youtu.be/YAj5BIASWL0](https://youtu.be/YAj5BIASWL0) Whichever way you look at it, if you insist on a compact size, you compromise on sound. End of story.
The Motion Boom is well worth the extra cost. It rivals the JBL Xtreme 4. You won't regret it. EDIT: I don't know your personal care routine, but I would say that if you use the speaker while showering and occasionally outside, then you will use it very regularly.
Why the downvotes? I had the Motion Boom and a friend had the Charge 5. Overall, the Motion Boom sounded better and had significantly more powerful bass. It's not far behind the Xtreme 4 and is available for a low price.
Unfortunately, I can't comment on that. The first Bluetooth speaker I bought was the Xiaomi Mi Portable Bluetooth Speaker (16W), which I got for less than €20 in 2021. It was good value for money, but I quickly upgraded to the Soundcore Motion Boom. I've been using two EarFun UBOOM X speakers for over a year now, which together cost me less than €200. The best Bluetooth speaker purchase of my life! I'm still absolutely thrilled with them, and no other Bluetooth speaker has tempted me to buy it so far.
The Soundcore Motion Boom clearly has the best sound, deepest bass, and most power of these.
Soundcore motion boom - good price, good battery and good sound
Soundcore Motion Boom. For its size and price it's a good speaker. I have put it in my car once in a back seat when I had audio issues and bass and loudness was enough where I didn't turn it up above 70%.
I'm a fan of Anker Soundcore speakers. I have a Soundcore Motion+, but they don't make those any longer. The equivalent is the Soundcore Motion Boom, but they've put it in a larger, rugged and waterproof housing with party lights, so it's not really ideal for our use. The Motion X500 might be a good choice: [https://www.amazon.com/Soundcore-Bluetooth-Speaker-Spatial-3-Channel/dp/B0CDLSGDG2](https://www.amazon.com/Soundcore-Bluetooth-Speaker-Spatial-3-Channel/dp/B0CDLSGDG2) If you want something a bit cheaper, this would probably have enough power for the low volume music that we normally play in massage sessions: [https://www.amazon.com/Soundcore-Bluetooth-Diaphragm-Technology-Waterproof/dp/B08BCHKY52](https://www.amazon.com/Soundcore-Bluetooth-Diaphragm-Technology-Waterproof/dp/B08BCHKY52) The Soundcore quality is several notches above JBL. About on par with Bose bluetooth speakers, but for much less $$$.
Love my soundcore motion boom. Havent dj’ed on it but its proper nice
I have a motion boom and picked up a pair of boom V2s from Costco last month for ~70 each. That deal is hard to beat.
I have a Sound-core Motion Boom. It sounds amazing I've had it nearly for a year it's got plenty of bass and its usually way under $200. So here is my recommendation.
Y'all I give up I was just recommending one 😭 I have this speaker and I love it 😭
I had the xtreme 3 and motion boom for years. I sold my Xtreme 3 last month. I want to buy Tribit stormbox blast 2 or Soundcore boom 2 plus. I'll give my motion boom away to my younger sister. I have a sound comparison video of Xtreme 3 and motion boom. [motion boom vs xtreme 3](https://youtu.be/8Vtz3UNBzNk)
