If you can get the Soundcore Boost v2, get that. Nice step up. If you're willing to go a little bigger, then get the Soundcore Motion+.

Those soundcore ones are pretty poor and reflective of the price. If it's within budget go for the Soundcore Boost Upgraded

Not sure on US pricing however the Soundcore Boost may fit your needs, or the Motion 300 depending on how much that will cost you

I prefer the Soundcore Boost. Once you EQ it, it sounds slightly better than the Xiaomi. That's probably it however from what I've tried

Good morning everyone. Looking to purchase a new wireless speaker as mine have crapped out over their constant use. Looking for recs for almost exclusively in my bathroom. I suppose maybe occasionally I would take it out but rarely if ever. Looking for sub $100 but sound does matter. Won a cheap $30 one from work and while it does play sound it’s fairly lackluster. Considered a boom 2 as they are only $90 on amazon right now but I think it’s gonna be overkill for my use case. This would be used daily for probably 20-30 minutes at least so I need something that the battery won’t kill in a year. Also read a lot of good things on the motion 300 from soundcore too but wanted recommendations if I was looking at something wrong. Loved my soundcore boost but it’s discontinued. Won’t be used at max volume so I shouldn’t have to worry about clipping. Also will not be used in the shower but on the vanity or a shelf in the bathroom. Thanks!

The boost is the forgotten gem in the soundcore lineup

I have two bluetooth speakers, both from Anker: a SoundCore Boost that I mainly use in my kitchen and living room with my laptop as a soundbar (Laptop speakers are tinny); and a SoundCore 2 in the bedroom and upstairs bathroom / shower, connected to my phone.
