For the smaller sizes, I recommend the Klipsch Nashville. On sale for $100 shipped/taxed. It’s a great deal. After 5hr break in this thing really opens up. Very neutral speaker but can be adjusted to suit your taste. Really really impressed with it. Compared to the Bose flex, uboom, and jbl of similar size, I think the Klipsch is the clear winner in its category. Plus it’s unofficially IP67 which I have tested numerous times on the golf course in the rain.

Best recommendation. I forgot what ones I have but I like that I can swap between 1/8" and 1/4" cords and the 1/8" has an inline mic so I can use them for work calls too. I use my headphones a lot more than my actual monitors- and you can't beat the portability. It's nice to be able to work with one piece of gear on the couch or on the porch - especially if battery powered. I do have a Klipsh bluetooth speaker that has multiple connectors that is fairly portable and great sound.
