That explains it I have mine at work and don't always use it and thought my coworkers were using it because I would find it around 50% sometimes lol
I have The SoundLink max its amazing but lmao there's so many other better speakers out there than on your list
Personally i find the x600 awful. Charge 5 comes to mind given your requirements or even soundlink max.
I suggest the bose soundlink max. I love the sound and its perfect for outside aswell. But thats just my opinion.
Your closest bet is Bose Soundlink Max. It adds 150 bucks to the bill with a sound comparable to the Go+Play 3. Some argue its better, but it just depends on your taste.
Name 5 things Bose is better than HK?
I know people who will go for Bose anytime. I hate the boxy sound plus it doesn't come cheap. HK price range and sound, nothing comes close.
I would suggest spend extra bucks and buy Bose sound link Max. You would enjoy the crisp and deep sounds.
does the battery drain when the Play is turned off? I would be using it as a bluetooth speaker only, not connecting it to WiFi. Been looking for something to replace my Bose Soundlink Max with.. the battery drain on that one is crazy.
I found myself the Bose Soundlink Max the best in terms of sound quality. If too expensive, then a Bose Flex Soundlink, the small one sounds powerfull and amazing, even outdoors for small parties and its only about 100 bucks and the beauty of it is that they can be paired in twos so it gives an wide stereo effect, still cheaper then a Max.
