From best to worst 1. Soundcore motion + 2. Klipsch nashville 3. Sony ult field 5 & tribit stormbox lava (tie) 4. Marshall emberton 3 & Bose soundlink flex 2 (tie) 5. Kef muo 6.tribit stormbox blast (OG) & Earfun uboom x(tie) 7. Soundcore boom 2 & x600 8. Harman kardon onyx studio 6 9. UE everboom, wonder boom & epicboom Soundcore motion + has been discontinued and has no ip dust rating Klipsch nashville, kef muo, bose soundlink flex 2, and harman kardon onyx studio 6 are mono format speakers Sony ult field 5, tribit stormbox lava & blast, earfun u boom x, Soundcore boom 2 & x600, UE epicboom and HK onyx studio 6 are all pretty large. The Marshall emberton 3, UE everboom & epic boom are 360⁰ speakers this is subjectively worse than a forward firing speaker for soundquality.
I am liking the Klipsch Nashville $117. I just ordered a second one. The Klipsch Detroit would be a good option, too. It is 20% off right now @ $249. JBL Charge 6? Sure! The Klipsch should be better than Sony, a little better than JBL, and should give Bose a tough run for the money.
I was looking hard at the Charge 6 recently. Go with that one. I ended up going with a Klipsch Nashville because my Klipsch desktop speakers sound so good. I am not disappointed. I might get the wifey the JBL in pink for her Easter basket. I like the white one and the silver one but I would certainly get the fabric dirty.
In this price range Hk luna ~ klipsch nashville > bose flex 2 > emberton 3
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.
