ULT Field 3

Charge 6 is probably your best bet, much better than the 5. The Boom 2 is a great option too but you may find it too big. The Ult 3 is also a really good option but I prefer the Charge

Hikes, so it gotta be tough - JBL Flip 7 or Charge 6, or Sony ULT Field 3 or 5 Beach - Just go for the Sony, it has an enclosure for the charging port Honest opinion: JBLs sound better than the Sonys (this comparison only)

I absolutely love this speaker. For comparison, I had it together with the Ult Field 3, charge 5 and the charge 6 and liked this one by far the most. It definitely sounds different but in a great way! I also currently own the uboom x which I'm selling because it's just too big for my needs. I also had the Tribit stormbox Lava which i really liked too!

I don't have the ult1, but I do have the ult3 and ult5, so I can pair them together for stereo. I think two ult3 pairs together will be good, and the 3 is small enough to fit into a backpack. You can't pair the ult3 with the ult1.

With that budget, grab a pair of the sony ult3 and pair them together.

I owned the Sony Field 3 for a few years and upgraded to [JBL Charge 6](https://www.reviewni.com/product/B0DN35M7S9) recently. Seriously it blew me away. I’ve cycled through a ton of Bluetooth speakers over the years like Bose, Sony, UE, you name it but this one’s something special. First off, the sound out of the box is super clear with solid, punchy bass (not muddy at all), and it fills up my small apartment no problem. I love that you can fine-tune the EQ in the JBL app, but honestly, I didn’t feel much need to tweak it, it sounds awesome as is. Battery life is fantastic. I’ve taken it on a few long days out and never even got close to draining it. It’s also small enough to tag along anywhere, but still packs a surprising 45W punch. For movies or music, streaming through Spotify, it just crushes it and if you’re really into bass, like I am, max out the EQ and it gets that deep thump (with zero distortion, even cranked up). I test-drove it head-to-head against the Sony Field 3 and, IMO, the JBL comes out on top, especially for bass lovers who don’t want to compromise clarity.

ult 3 is not boomy at all, and has much better sound than ult 1, ult 5 or ult 7

I’d say out of those 3 charge6. The plus which I haven’t heard in person yet, probably needs 2 for stereo. I have a sl max and Bose has a unique sound signature that’s not for everyone. Also depends if it’s indoors, small area, or wide open space. I listened to the charge6 and it sounds great imo. The ult3 didn’t impress me but the c6 did.
