Boom

Of the major portable speakers out there, I have found the UE Boom series to sound the best sound quality. And sonos makes a pretty good one too. Is that what you are looking for, or do you want actual speakers? How about a used set of small pwered speakers like Audioengine A2's set up in the bathroom? I don't think anything battery powered will have a high enough quality playback to where bluetooth vs. wired will make a noticeable difference...

I see...some do have AUX inputs, but you may need to find an older model....which would be cheaper anyways. I remember the original UE Boom and Megaboom had AUX inputs. I bet there's one on FB Market.... The Sonos Roam still has aux input, but not sure if your budget fits that. My friend has the first generation. Sounds great, but bass heavy like all other sonos speakers. Just thought of something...I have an old Riva Turbo X I was going to have recycled. The bluetooth is too old to be useful and the battery only lasts an hour or two. But it sounds good and has AUX input. You can just have it, if you cover shipping cost...DM me if interested

I use an OG boom from what, 2014 or something? Battery isn’t great but works well enough for small listening. It even survived being fully underwater in a river!

Such good speakers, I have the UE boom 3 and absolutely love it. Had the original boom for years and years, was all beat up but worked perfectly and then I lost it so I got the 3, found the first gen and now have it as a backup. And you said "USB-B" idk what that it or if it was a typo and your saying it doesn't have a port at all but the boom 3 has a type c post with a super thick cover which I love. Never ever thought "I wish this speaker was louder" so the regular boom is perfect for me, HIGHLY recommend

Original UE Boom bought in 2014, still going strong!

Hello, I'm searching for an outdoor speaker for my winter job. I work in a ski resort, so it needs to be waterproof because of the regular snow, has to have something around 6\~7 hours-ish battery life at a rather loud volume (the machines being rather loud, the speaker needs to be like 70%+ volume). I can't have anything too big since it has to fit into a backpack already filled with my other necessities for my job (boombox are too big for example). I don't have any specific price range in mind, but I guess I can put up to 250$ for it, maybe a little more. I had UE boom in the past (the 1 and then the 3), I was satisfied with their battery life but they ended up having a lot of sound distortion on high volume after a while, that's why I'm asking for recommandations before getting anything.
