I've gone thru countless BT speakers, from JBL Extreme 2,3. UE Megaboom, Hyperboom. Soundcore Motion Plus. Sony XB43. All were non keepers and were sold or one that was sub par was given away. Oh yeah, Marshall Kilburn 3 too.
I have one now, the Sony ULT 5 its the only speaker that 100% percent sound balanced. Its plenty loud and can bring it with bass, clarity. I don't even use the Ult 1 or 2 features as I find it bass heavy already its in standard sound mode. I clearly as you can tell love it.
Edit, well you can't get one for 150, but there are refurbished ones on ebay for 83 shipped.
From best to worst
1. Soundcore motion +
2. Klipsch nashville
3. Sony ult field 5 & tribit stormbox lava (tie)
4. Marshall emberton 3 & Bose soundlink flex 2 (tie)
5. Kef muo
6.tribit stormbox blast (OG) & Earfun uboom x(tie)
7. Soundcore boom 2 & x600
8. Harman kardon onyx studio 6
9. UE everboom, wonder boom & epicboom
Soundcore motion + has been discontinued and has no ip dust rating
Klipsch nashville, kef muo, bose soundlink flex 2, and harman kardon onyx studio 6 are mono format speakers
Sony ult field 5, tribit stormbox lava & blast, earfun u boom x, Soundcore boom 2 & x600, UE epicboom and HK onyx studio 6 are all pretty large.
The Marshall emberton 3, UE everboom & epic boom are 360⁰ speakers this is subjectively worse than a forward firing speaker for soundquality.
I have the woburn 2, go+play 3, stormbox micro and blast, soundcore motion+, onyx 7
This is my new favorite for my gym, sounds good without being super loud . Much better soundstage vs the motion+ and flatter shape makes it easier to carry in a bag when traveling.
I use it in my gym when i dont want to blast music with one of the boomboxes
Awesome purchase! I really wanted to pull the trigger and buy one during Prime Days but I didn’t give in to the urge. I have a Soundcore Motion Plus that I love. But I know I would have thoroughly enjoyed the Boom 2 as well. Crank up that speaker and enjoy the beat!
