Get 1-2 pieces of HK Go+Play 3, or HK Onyx. As stated earlier, nothing will beat these at combined indoor+terrace/lawn/outdoor use, with reasonable portability and sound quality. Not even close. Further strengthened by the fact that you can get that set below $300 for a pair. I have 2x GP3 and I took the best sound to places never thought possible. Oh, before that I had 2x Go Play Mini, and before that 2x Go+Play powered by D batteries.

Jbl charge 6 is your best in that range or the overturborecommended earfun uboom x. Personally I pick harman kardon onyx but battery is average basic.

Another upvote for HK Onyx - preferably second hand. They are so bass heavy that most people dislike them for that very reason.

HK Onyx or JBL charge are good options. If sound quality is more important then HK Onyx, if portability and battery life then JBL charge.

If you get an HK GO PLAY 3 it’s not very portable for outdoors it has a down firing subwoofer and the battery life isn’t that great but the well balanced sound is great the onyx is very good too.

If you wanna hear bass drops with mid and upper elements too from like space laces, hol, ydg the heavy sub 30hz drops: Harmon kardon onyx series for low priced. But if theres no constraints, the devialet mania will have the best bass you are looking for and clarity. B and O A1 is pretty good too but you’ll prolly wanna run a pair. All the jbls megaboom, the regular mainstream brands all run rly muddy bass that bleeds into the mids. Like at lost lands the soundcamp speakers, kinda mid for the vocals and trebles but u feel the wubs
