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 $$$.

Crazy thing is that right now, there is a 71% discount on Amazon. So a 160 dollar speaker is just 45. I got two.

That link is to the Soundcore x500. The Soundcore Motion+ has never gone down to $45 as far as I know.
