Portable Speaker Recommendation

The Lounge General Discussion

I tried the Anker Motion+ and found the sound to be quite lacking. Thankfully, I have finally found a way to buy a new battery for my old iLoud, which must be getting on for 12-13 years old now. Some robot vacuums use the same battery, so as soon as mine arrives I’ll be back in business.

Agreed, consistency is their trademark.

Geez, I really really want something I can take out with me to a park and jam out on a groovebox, maybe with friends and a mixer… something somewhat between the quality of your average mono battery-powerable speaker and some nutso QSC KC12 column.

I wonder what is the best possible quality and balance of loudness in an actually portable (not in the military/tank sense) speaker right now?

My Zoom L6 will handle the mixing/recording at least.

Ari@home has 2 sets of 2.1 minirigs and his setup is loud. Maybe consider just a single set lol.

I’m very surprised with the low end on Marshall’s Middleton speaker. I kinda hate the buttons on it and its cheesy on/off sound, but I’ve enjoyed listening a lot of ambient music through it.

Oh and btw, it’s quite heavy

Tempting, less distribution here but Amazon seems to stock ‘em.

I will A/B those and the EarFun UBOOM X.

Edit: Looks like I can pick up a 1.1 Minirig from Amazon for 428.89 or Juno (because fuck Bezos) for $340.60.

Not too bad! I’ll pick a set up (probably 2.1 from Juno) for my birfday later in the year.

Thanks for the nudge :stuck_out_tongue:
