B&O A1 is way better than UE Miniroll. I have two A1 Gen 2, they are great for portable audio as long as you don't need very loud sound and can keep them close. Perfect for smaller settings. My favorite speaker for audiobooks, by far. I gave my Miniroll away... For louder volumes and larger settings my B&O A5 is amazing. Portable but a bit bulky. Still very nice to use in the garden/patio/porch or on a picnic. Expensive... For larger prepared outdoor settings / parties my two UE Hyperboom are great! But even more bulky than the A5. Even if they are getting old, they are hard to beat. I think that there is a very strong correlation between size and sound quality at higher volumes or larger settings. If you want something that is loud and also sounds good over a larger area you need to go big. If you want nice stereo you need two speakers that are about as far between each other as from you. Two speakers also helps to cover a larger area.

I have two UE Hyperboom. [https://www.ultimateears.com/en-us/shop/p/hyperboom.984-001954](https://www.ultimateears.com/en-us/shop/p/hyperboom.984-001954) Very Big, good and really loud. Even outdoors. I have a UE miniroll. [https://www.ultimateears.com/en-us/shop/p/miniroll.984-002015](https://www.ultimateears.com/en-us/shop/p/miniroll.984-002015) Cheap, small but not amazing sound. I also have a B&O A1G2. [https://www.bang-olufsen.com/en/us/speakers/beosound-a1](https://www.bang-olufsen.com/en/us/speakers/beosound-a1) Expensive, small but amazing sound.

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).
