i love the wonderboom for its light compact just no nonsense design its my everyday carry. i have a tribit stormbox pro and a soundcore motion boom plus that just blows my old jbl charge 5 and the xtreme 3 out of the water. im sure the x sound plus 2 sounds better i just love the wonderboom form factor it works for me.

I have had the Wonderboom 2 and 4 and really like them. Balanced, nice sound.

Wonderboom 2/3 or Marshall Middleton if you have a little more to spend

I have a UE wonderboom 2 an honestly that thing is incredible for its size. A friend has 2 megabooms and they sound incredible also. I think personal preference plays a big part. I have not had the chance to play with JBL.

I dangle my Wonderboom 2 with a carabiner from my backpack while riding on my onewheel, and it ALWAYS sounds amazing. Granted I’m not in audiophile mode while floating around, but it sounds great all around and the 360º sounds makes it nice to alert other people I may be coming since I don’t have handlebars for a bell…Also the external controls make it easy to turn on/off, Volume up or down which is essential, and reach the “outdoors” Button without ever looking at it. The JBL Flips are nice but i worry about how they would hold up if I wipe out. Also the buttons might be confusing reaching back behind me. I did see something by JBL with a little “Unbreakable Loop” on it but from my reviews, didn’t seem to sound as good as the wonderboom. Just my 2 cents…

I have a Bose Flex 2 and a UE Wonderboom2. The Bose has much better sound including good bass for it's size and good clarity throughout the frequency range. The UE has very little bass but gets a little louder and was less expensive. Overall, I prefer the Bose.

Ultimate Ears makes rugged speakers. I've had mine fall around a bit though never from a bike. I am not sure if any other company makes speakers that rugged. Tribit Stormbox Lava floats on water but it's huge for a bike. A UE Wonderboom or Wonderboom 2 might be better I think? Check them and the other speakers out. They're also mud resistant, have some shock resistance and float. The Wonderboom also has this lovely ring so you can hang it. Maybe they're just what you're looking for.

I’m a big fan of UE, my wonderboom has been through hell, lost in the snow till spring, floated a good chunk of a river without me, fell off a truck onto concrete, and daily showers for several years. The only thing is that the bungee strap is kinda broken but it still holds up
