"The original JBL Xtreme is hands down the best portable speaker I've ever owned. If you're looking for bass, JBL speakers are the way to go"

"Jbl charge 5 or harman kardon luna, no questions asked"

"You can hear it doing 68."

"The JBL flip 6!"

"It's awesome!"

"It’s $140 at Costco right now."

"I love the JBL PartyBox 100."

"And a medium sized speaker under your price would be the charge 5."

"They can fit in a backpack."

"JBL extreme 3. The 2 drivers and 2 tweeters give you great separation."

Soundcore

4.4

(30)

"Some of the best options of portable bluetooth speaker: Soundcore Boom 2 by Anker."

"$80 ish motion+ still slaps years later with EQ bass is better than my friends pricier speakers indoor and outdoor sofar."

"Don't sleep on the Soundcore Boom 2. For the price of one Bose you can get two of those and pair them up."

"Depending what “easily carry around” means to you, the Soundcore Boom 2 is really good. Loud with good bass and quality sound."

"Check out the JBL Flip 5 or Anker Soundcore Motion+. Both are portable, under $100, and loud enough for outdoor use."

"Get no latency when wired."

"Is probably your best option."

"It is honestly unmatched for the price."

"Has tons of bass for its size."

"I use the Soundcore Motion Plus and it's been great."

"EarFun UBOOM X is by far the best overall package at the moment."

"I recommend the EarFun UBOOM X. The sound quality is better, in the sense of a hi-fi sound."

"You're currently getting the best sound for your money."

"Best under 200€ is earfun uboom x"

"In stereo they sound so good."

"Uboom L is unbeaten in my experience if you're willing to push the firmware on it."

"Consider the Uboom L or a Motion plus which are highly rated."

"Bird's post about the Uboom X and Soundcore Boom 2 are spot on, and for the money are a damned good deal."

"Check the EarFun UBOOM X. Small is of course relative. Let's put it this way, the UBOOM X is relatively small compared to your car and definitely great!"

"I'd recommend something like Earfun Uboom X or a Partybox 320."

"Tribit Xsound Plus 2. Really geeat"

"I own the tribit xsound plus 2. Had to do some tweaks on the EQ, sounds like a quality home theatre."

"If you want a pocket sized one, tribit stormbox micro 2."

"I can highly recommend it."

"Tribit stormbox blast Without a doubt"

"I bought a Tribit Stormbox Blast, for the price you can't go wrong."

"Stormbox blast and grab it now since it’s the last day for the prime sale."

Bose

"Bose speakers in general handle EDM better than most with stock tuning...my other Bose speaker is the Smart Speaker (WiFi) and it rocks the EDM music with enough bass to shake your portlights!"

"Bose SoundLink Flex 2 sounds terrific for pretty much every genre I've hit it with, including Bass-heavy EDM."

"The Bose Flex is quite nice. The audio editor for Cnet.com rated it as the best sounding personal speaker."

"Sounds heavenly."

"Its built like a tank too."

"The Bose SoundLink Flex is definitely worth considering."

"Great battery life, and waterproof as well."

"You really should add Bose Soundlink Revolve to the list."

"I'm a fan of the bose flex 2 currently. Its very portable, its durable, has good bass, gets loud and you can link two of them to run in stereo"

"I did get a smaller Bose, small, light, sounds good but no aux."

"Harman kardon is great, sonos is overpriced."

"Harman Kardon Go+Play 3, get a pair for portable stereo TWS."
