I've got 3 - a clip on my small disc golf go-bag, a flip (canister) on my main disc golf bag, and (not quite what is pictured here but) a Harman/Kardon Onyx 4 for home listening

i bought the onyx studio 4 for \~160 usd, about 8 years back and its still going strong, no need to replace. but i wouldnt recommend buying a 5 for 180, if you can hagle i down to like 120-130, might be worth it. try looking for newer models, you might find 7 or 8 or even 9 for around 180-200, and that will last you much longer with better battery and audio quality.

my Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4 is my baby. got it for like what.. $52 due to it having some paint marks on it (assuming doing remodeling and white paint dripped on it) plus missing charger.. got one for $10. so altogether $62 for an absolute gem, regardless of the weight or size, it is what it is. have yet to find a speaker that competes with it unless someone wheels in a fkn pa system lol.
