Picked up a Soundcore Boom V2 recently in-store for $99 and I have been super impressed with it. It's lighter than it looks with a handle and waterproof rating. The bass is on the heavier side (though you can turn it down), which is perfect for using it outdoors, as bass falloff can be intense on smaller speakers outside. Indoors, it’s a perfect party or workout speaker.

It is decently clear with good treble and mids. Music sounds great on it. It looks like its $120-$140 on Amazon, so the price seems good.

I’ve been overall pretty impressed with how good Soundcore products are for the price. It’s not an audiophile speaker, but it’s a great price for something decently tuned out of the box that you don’t have to go crazy on EQ with.

I was just really impressed with the sound this thing puts out for the price and wanted to pass along that it seems to be a great value.

Full review is in the comments, it's apparently too long to post up here.

Out of the box audio: 7/10 EQ'd audio: 9/10 App and presets: 6/10 Bass: 9.5/10 Portability/Outdoor: 9/10 Indoor: 7.5/10 Battery: 8/10 Compatibility (with chargers, other audio equipment, etc): 7/10

Summary: This is a overachieving speaker for this sale price, that is great for indoor and outdoor use. It is very intuitive to use, and only gets better the more effort you put into fine tuning the audio. The bass cannot be beaten for the size or price, and it is extremely portable. It has some convenient features like device charging and being waterproof, and some novelty ones like RGB lights and AI white noise. It's missing some of the more AV nerds features like a variety of preset EQ configurations, spatial audio, adaptive audio, and even an aux cord input.

It can be described as a speaker Apple might make. Class leading in some of the basic functions, easily compatible in its ecosystem, but not offering the most premium specialized features for the hardcore audiophiles, and might require a dongle.

Overall, I highly recommend this for people looking for a basic Bluetooth speaker within their budget.

I noticed there are three options for battery powered wireless speakers on clearance. I'm looking for suggestions and/or reviews before making a purchase.

I will use the speaker(s) primary outdoors while gardening, sitting at a campfire, or in a garage.

Anyone have an opinion on these? Worried that they're not going to connect to my Google home music setup.

I need one blasting music at baseball games and want to make sure it’s loud enough
