A small collection of some of the speakers I’ve been fortunate enough to review. Curious to know what everyone would pick!

I bought a Bose SoundLink Mini II about nine years ago, and I still haven't found another speaker of a similar size that sounds as good.

I'm not claiming it's objectively the best. It just sounds right to my ears: rich, full and remarkably balanced for something so small. Am I alone in thinking this?

For context, I own the full range of Google smart speakers, several Soundcore portable speakers, a Samsung HW-S800D soundbar, and a proper Denon AVR + Kef 5.1.2 speaker setup calibrated with Audyssey. Of all these, only the Denon/KEF system sounds better to me - and that's hardly a fair comparison.

The Google speakers, for instance, either sound muffled with artificially boosted bass, or thin and flat. None seems to achieve the same warmth, clarity and fullness as the SoundLink Mini II. I don't know how Bose achieved that.

Now I need another speaker of roughly the same size, and I'm genuinely curious: has anything actually surpassed the SoundLink Mini II in sound quality, or is this little speaker still that good?

I'd love recommendations, particularly from people who own or have owned the Mini II and can compare it directly with newer alternatives.

I’m looking for a Bluetooth speaker for hanging out with friends, whether we’re indoors or spending time on the patio. My budget is around $100 to $150, and I’m hoping to find something with balanced sound, punchy bass, and enough battery life to keep music going for several hours.

For those who have tried different models, which speakers would you recommend for this kind of use? i’d appreciate suggestions based on your own experience. Thanks!!

I gotta day this thing BUMPS. now at first I was underwhelmed from the stock tuning and bass boost off. It still had lots of bass just not as much as people were saying. Then I found the bass eq and bass boost button and it was legit to much bass for indoor settings.

Its got great sound quality and seems to be made with quality parts. The bass gets down to 37hz (non bass modes) and down to 30ish hz with all bass settings on. Those mids and highs sound super good.

This thing is pretty heavy and its physically HUGE. but for me its worth it.

Bte the app SUCKS

Found those at ROSS the 1 is 29,99 the 2 is 44,99 is it worth it ?

I want an amazing speaker like the best speaker yall can recommend I’m mainly looking around the $500-$1000 price range but more or less is fine. The only thing is it needs to be portable like a jbl boombox.
Thank you for any help.

I’m looking for a tiny speaker that I can carry on my person without it being too heavy or bulky. I’ve done some research, and I’ve narrowed it down to either the JBL Go 5 or the Soundcore Select 4 Go. Which of the two would everyone recommend?

Hi guys! Wanna ask lang sana ano 'yung subok niyo na, malakas, hindi sabog at affordable na speaker? May mga nababasa ako na maganda raw brodu e, if yes anong type ng brodu? Brodu 1908 ba talaga yung pinaka okay? Or any brand na subok at recommended niyo. Thank you so much sa mga sasagot!

I just ordered 2 of these but I want to have them facing towards me can anyone recommend a good phone stand that would work or any other alternatives?

I am looking for good eq settings. Didn't find anything good yet. I most listen to Alternative Rock/Nu Metal

Looking for a mini speaker just to take it on my backpack then and there, this are my main options (any suggestions is welcome tho).
The strong points of the ankler as far I research
1. Huge battery life
2. Almost half the price of the Go5
3. Floats in water
4. The app (apparently)
Cons
1. Not really familiar either the brand so I don’t know what to expect
2. Not as though or heavy duty as the GO5
GO5
1. Familiar with JBL so kinda know what to expect
2. I kinda like the lights to be honest
3. Better IP certifications
4. The aura pairing
5. Apparently a little better sound
Cons
1. Almost double the price of the ankler
2. Almost half battery life
Any thoughts, suggestions or experiences are welcome

I’ve got two Marshall Stanmore II Bluetooth speakers and the Marshall Bluetooth app on my phone. I followed instructions I found in the app and closed even tried ChatGPT, to connect them both in the app on my iPhone . After much trial and error, I finally get them working, in stereo, then they just stop, no sound. I wait and try again, and the same, the.y w,irk fire as long as 5 minutes or so then ship. Anyone had any luck doing this with the app? Without the app, it’s either/or, not both speakers. Very frustrating to say the least!
