JBL Extreme 2 if you don’t mind something a little bigger than the flips and stuff. Sound is amazing on that one

I like the JBL boom box and the Xtreme 2. Excellent deep bass and great volume. Very ruggedly built and waterproof are added bonuses. Great battery life too. 6-8 hours when fully charged.

Klipsch Groove XXL its not water resistant but it's usually $175 or cheaper. It destroys the Xtreme 2 in every way. I know because I know I own both.

I have an Xtreme 2 and Harman Onyx Studio 9. The Onyx is a clear step up in clarity, fidelity and bass extension.

Charge 6 sounds better and smaller you’ll be shocked charge 4 sounds very similar to a xtreme 2 and the 6 is better then the 4 and the xtreme 2 is better then yours so I’d go for it

Charge 3 is so elite for having 3.5mm aux input. Same with Xtreme 2. I’ll keep those until the battery busts.

One xtreme 2 (2018) one xtreme 3 (2021). And a flip 6 on its way to me (because fuck auracast. I will stay on partyboost). They have all been compleatly seald. Which means they have been in water A LOT. none of The battery s are getting hot while charging or discharging. JBL is the best for portabile speakers if you ask me. Yeah, they are not the cheapest option but the offer the best value for the money. Plus, its like an ecosystem
