Boom 2
Loud, bassy beast; needs EQ, no aux.

I actually tried the Beoplay A1 as a less buggy alternative to the minirigs and ended up returning it but your ears may be slightly different to mine in that regard but the minirg sounded better and made the sound come alive alot more than the A1. That said adding a subwoofer into the mix from minirig really does take things to the next level sound wise, as does having 2 small speakers and running them in wireless stereo.
Bang & Olufsen Beosound A1 2nd generation. I put it on the tennis court fence every week in all types of weather. High quality sound and volume. This small but mighty Bluetooth speaker makes playing tennis doubles more enjoyable.
I quite like my Beosound A1 2nd Gen by Bang & Olufsen. They're selling the 3rd Gen now for $400. I got the 2nd Gen on eBay about a month ago for $200 from a seller who hardly used it and took extremely good care of it. It really is "like new."
\-DALI Katch G2 (portable, can sit plugged in, audiophile voicing) Among the best-sounding portable Bluetooth speakers with excellent clarity and impressive bass weight. Elegant design without lighting. Can play while charging. \-Bang & Olufsen Beosound A1 (2nd gen) (ultra-compact, refined bass, no lighting) Smaller than your SoundLink Mini but with surprisingly deep, clean bass for masking. It plays while charging. Minimal status LED only
My two Beosound A1 2nd gen were $130.96 & $145 used in 2022. $295.28 for two (including tax & shipping, on Amazon) - Strangely now $234 used on Amazon. If it drops to $131-145 again, great clean sound (not for bass-lovers). 3rd gen has better bass, but $399 list price.
'I' ve been using the [Bang & Olufsen](https://x.com/red_cat1989/status/1953829669045739588) Beosound A1 (2nd Gen) for a couple of months now, and honestly - small size, huge sound. The audio ir crystal clear with plenty of bass for its size, the batery lasts ages (around 18h), and the waterproofing is genuinely useful for summer trips. The design - as always with B&O
