SoundLink Flex Series
Compact, durable, impressive sound for size, but distorts high volume.

I have the UE Megaboom 3 and the JBL Flip 6. I prefer the sound and bass of the JBL. Really impressive for its size.
I'm looking for a BT speaker under around $150 that will sound loud and clear for both spoken word (sports commentary shows) and music. I had really enjoyed my Megaboom 3, but it's starting to die after about 7 years of use. I picked up a JBL Charge 6 for cheap on Ali Express, but I can't get it nearly as loud and it sounds muddier to me, especially on high EQ. What are your top suggestions for listening mostly in my apartment, but also on the roof, park ...???
Well I have a UE Megaboom 3 that im in the process of replacing one driver due to my over curiosity but its been the best sounding and most rugged bluetooth portable speaker ive had a nd i love the app with remote power on/off. Pricewise I recommend the Walmart ONN. Rugged Large Portable Bluetooth speaker for under $100 Canadian.
Most of them still have aux input surprisingly But it really depends on your devices. I have no problems with my ultimate ear megaboom 3
Ultimate Ears Megaboom 3 Much better than most listed here, esp the JBL flip. Huge upgrade without a significant jump in cost.
UE megaboom 3 is all I need for a portable speaker. Durable, sounds alright, decent battery life. For headphones my Sennheiser HD1 have been treating me right for years.

Budget king for loud, deep bass; bulky with harsh mids.
