Clip+

I have the five below dupe of the JBL clip as well as a real JBL that I use both for bike rides and both work just fine. Honestly the JBL is almost too bassy haha.

JBL clip, super portable, dust and water resistant and great sound quality, they are also very durable

Thank you Reddit! This was my earlier post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bluetooth_Speakers/s/24ZRfUxFJH As recommended - I bought 4 JBL clip speakers and spread them throughout the yard. Made a 12 hour playlist for the party of old timey favorites, crossed my fingers and launched. It worked perfectly! The aura cast is amazing, the clips have a nice crisp sound, and the charge showed no signs of weakness over the 8+ hours they were on. Highly recommend this option for anyone in a similar situation. Thanks again!

Bose Soundlink is a champ, our first died after many years and we got a replacement instead of something different. I was gifted a JBL mini-clip and holy SHIT this thing is loud and has pretty decent sound quality-around $70 I think.

Definitely JBL clip!!

I've had most of the lineup from JBL. The Go, Clip, flip, charge, extreme, and boombox. The only one I wasn't really happy with was the clip...it was being sold in a two pack and yet lacked the capability of virtually every JBL speaker which is to be able to link up to other JBLs and play in stereo. They're all good for their size/price. Obviously the Go doesn't thump like the boombox does but it's a fraction of the price and size. I think any of them up through the Charge can be charged with a USB cable then the bigger ones like the extreme/boombox have a proprietary charging cord. They're all at least somewhat water resistant and rugged all the way up to the Boombox and the Extreme being submersible. I remember when I first got the Boombox, being at a pool and my brother asked if I was worried about the speaker being so close to said pool. I said it's supposed to be waterproof and I then proceeded to throw it in the pool. It was totally fine. Battery life on them are all respectable, and at least personally, I haven't had a battery fail yet. The extreme and even more so the Boombox, seem to last forever. More recently I bought a Sony xg500 (Boombox equivalent) when it was on sale. Not a bad speaker, has good mids and highs, but the bass was a little lackluster and overall it couldn't get quite as loud as my 5 year old Boombox. It has an inferior IP rating compared to the Boombox as well. The only thing it really has over the Boombox, that I didn't even realize for a while, and it may or may not be a positive depending on the person, is it has some lighting effects on the side that strobe with music. Overall the Boombox is really the better buy for sure. The only other speakers I've heard that were as good or better were some bose ones, but they didn't have much bass, and the ones I saw didn't seem too rugged. The UE speakers I've heard were fine but not as good as JBLs

I've been a fan of JBL Bluetooth speakers since my first Clip many moons ago. I just upgraded to a few Clip 5s this weekend since you can now sync using multi-speaker connection with Auracast. I haven't tried it... yet, but will this week. I'm old school and also partially deaf (What?) and as such prefer high end treble to too much bass. All of the JBLs I've had have fit my needs handily. Up to twelve hours of play time per charge rounds things out. This model is also currently on clearance in many stores. Normally retails for $79.99. I picked mine up brand spanking new for $20.00.
