please i beg you, skull candy barrel xt. loud with super deep bass, it competes with the jbl boombox and typically from $80-$120 i have 2 and they are amazing edit: the soundcore boom 2 isn’t no where near as good as the skullcandy barrel xt. and the skull candy is cheaper at walmart right now

i havent had that one before but from the 2 big ones i have i like the skull candy better from the bass alone. they are both equally as loud but the soundcores bass isnt as deep but still good and its treble is smoother it also has an eq. if you value deep bass skull candy is the winner if you value smoother treble and having an eq then soundcore is the winner

The skull candy barrel is sub 200 and is a beast. I have a bunch of speakers and can recommend that one for sure
