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.
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
