Ultimate Ears - Boombox

I had a UE boombox from 2012 that sounded amazing. I finally sold it earlier this year but was one of the best sounding and stable speakers in my unit.

I had a ue boombox that I just sold earlier this year. I think it came out in 2012. Had a power brick to charge although it was portable. Solid player and clear sound. Just had too many Bluetooth speakers and I only charge via USB c now.

I found one being sold and took a listen. It sounded good but no better than my UE boombox (circa 2012). I passed on the purchase and have no regrets.

Agreed. I sold the boombox last year because of its age. Besides that it was one of the best and balanced speaker I've ever owned.

For the small portable my affections are always with Bose. Some of my favorite speakers for sound stage, portability, and loud reaching well made BT speakers in super portable, easy to handle packages. I have three of their BT speakers and they really perform. As I get less portable, I stumbled into one not on your list — Logitech’s Ultimate Ears brand — which has some smaller BT speakers as well. They’re really well made and they double down on putting resources into the simple features I care about most (sync, app, weatherproofing etc).
