You cant beat the og motion boom for size and bass. You need to source an og though, the later models don't have the same deep bass sound.
You could do a lot worse than this Soundcore, which has just been reduced again. (Much to my husband's annoyance as he only bought his a few weeks ago and it was £20 more) [https://www.amazon.co.uk/Soundcore-Titanium-Technology-Waterproof-Bluetooth/dp/B08LQNL42Z/](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Soundcore-Titanium-Technology-Waterproof-Bluetooth/dp/B08LQNL42Z/)

I have Motion Boom, the only way I'd hike with it would be if was strapped to my back. No way I'd use the strap it comes with. Not real heavy, but it's basically a hard plastic box and if it's moving around it will be a pain.
The XE300 is a horribly muffled and hollow sounding speaker. None of those are even close to the Motion Boom
I have several in pairs. If someone wanted to get in cheap, two motion booms.
My OG Motion Boom is more impressive than my Charge 6
I have the OG Motion Boom and the Select 4 Go. Both are great speakers.
The Soundcore Motion Boom LA1 is still a good option at maximum volume; its battery lasts 6 to 8 hours, which is sufficient if used sparingly.
