Motion+

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.

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!

soundcore motion+. at 30 watts gets loud without distortion and overall extremely good despite its age. i highly recommend it.

Go for soundcore motion plus. It's got aptx n the cleanest sound. It's a never regret speaker. Been using mine for 4 years now.

Two soundcore motions plus would fit you’re use. Sounds really good (more of a bright sound signature, you have to EQ it) Good batteries and hold up pretty nice over time Not that big to carry those in a bag for the sound they make Cost ~140$ for both depending where you get them and with a coupon or not

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 $$$.
