OT: Best performing blue tooth speaker?

[TBone.sixpack]

I'm not as concerned with the price as I am the sound fullness and volume. Think boating/canoeing or camping. So in open spaces where weaker BT speakers lack the punch.

Battery life of important too but not near as much as the sound.

Thanks to anyone that has some feedback!

I love my jawbone xl

 

[TBone.sixpack]

I will check that out. Do you remember what brands you compared it against? Obviously Bose has one and there is the Pill +.

 

[PubDawg]

I have a JBL charge and it kicks ***. Really loud, and good sound. Big bass.

 

[the dog is on the loose]

I bought a JBL flip 4 for $100 at Walmart and that little thing sounds amazing. Lot of bass for a speaker that looks like a 12 oz beverage can.

Choices haha
Thanks boys. I have some studying to do. No one said Pill or Bose so I guess that's something!

 

[Palmettodog]

The Bose and Pill sound perfect, but for the money the JBL Flip is amazing. Great sound, water resistant, 12 hour charge and it's only $100.

 

[Palmettodog]

Same here. It's a great speaker.

The price is def right. I was expecting 2

I want to have 2 or 3 and go listen. This thread is already helping that

I have the

Bose Revolve+ and it's awesome. Great sound at 360 degrees and it's battery last 16 hours! I'm pretty sure there's nothing comparable. One thing I don't play around with is my music/sound system. Bose is the best in the business from sound to quality/durability.

I have a braven that I like a lot. Helps that it is waterproof

 

[Baddmann]

Fugoo or FugooXL

I bought a Fugoo for my daughter and then purchased a FugooXL for myself. Waterproof, shockproof, mudproof, etc with 360 degree sound. Sounds amazing and battery life is impressive.

Buy a JBL Charge 3. You can get two of these for less than the price of one Bose. You are a Mississippi State Bulldog fan, so you need to be smart and cheap as hell simultaneously.

I have a couple bose, and I wouldn't trade them. I use the bose sound link color for golfing. I use the bose revolve here around home for porch time,, cooking, pregame, or outdoor. The color can take some water, but can't be submerged. I like them both a lot. They put out a lot of sound, and the sound quality is excellent. the battery life is very good, never had a problem with them running out of battery power. I'm sure others like jbl, the beats pill make quality products too.

Turn music on,
Place phone (speakers down) in empty plastic cup
And voila an instant speaker that requires no batteries.

 

[birdawg]

I have a Bose that puts out incredible sound and bass. I wouldn't go any other way.

 

[Dawg1976]

Dumb question. I see that it doesn't come with a charger. Are you connecting to a laptop or how are you charging?

I just bought a BOSE SoundTouch 20 for
Workout room and kitchen area etc.
Absolutely love it. Very good buy for me. Excellent sound quality and bass and it's not very big.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

I appreciate all these responses. Thank you gentlemen.

I bought two Polk Audio Swimmers, one for the wife's beach bag and one for use around the house. When they arrived I learned that two Swimmers can be linked together for true stereo sound. Alone they are ok but with two playing together they are impressive. Around $30 each , waterproof and unique tail like a giant bread tie that lets you hook them anywhere. Not the sound quality of a Bose but for the price I would buy them again.

 

[Requiem For A Dawg]

Search Flossy Carter on YouTube. He's reviewed about every Bluetooth speaker out there, so if you have a few you are debating on, see what he says about them.

 

[ScrotieMcBoogerBalls]

I asked this same question here a couple of years ago and was told to get the UE MEGABOOM. I did just that and I would put it up against any of the others. Money very well spent.

Can be solar charged and you can use it to charge your other devices.

Check out the jbl flip 4 on Amazon. Under $90

 

[Digging dog]

JBL charge 3 in this price range hands down is the best. Great sound and battery life plus waterproof.

And you can charge a cellphone with it if necessary.

 

[greenbean.sixpack]

Every Bose I have seen is very overrated. Make sure it is not only waterproof but also floats.

You must

be buying some second-hand, Taiwanese knock-off because everything I've ever bought from Bose has been top-rate, and they're always getting extremely high marks from tech experts.

I bought a house with Bose surround sound equipment recently. Couldn't replace it fast enough. Bose is the Banjo Minnow, Flying Lure of the speaker world.

They very well may make serviceable Bt speakers, because top shelf sound isn't the expectation.

Just mean not worth the price. Not a big enough difference in those and the Amazon deal of deal speakers that one can buy for less than a quarter of the price. Bose is good, just not good enough to the worth the premium one pays for them.

 

[Dawggrad96]

It's not exactly portable because of its size but the Marshall Woburn is the best sounding, loudest, deepest bass I've heard. I've had jawbones and listened to Bose and several others. They are not in the same conversation as the Marshall.

 

[DAWGS1.sixpack]

I have a UE Boom and love the sound quality and range

 

[BigBully]

I have a Bose Soundlink III. Great sound for a portable BT speaker. We take it to the beach, use it on the back deck while grilling and hanging out. I'm very partial to this speaker since I didn't have to pay for it...used my AMEX points from company related travel.
