I got this OontZ Ultra Bluetooth Speaker after having two Anker SoundCore speakers.
This is one of two, this one being a slight upgrade because it pairs with another of this model for 2-channel stereo.
All these speakers are 'stereo' in that they will do 2ch on their own, but when internal speakers are 4" apart...
Impressive specs but the big thing is the superior sound.
The Ankers are muddy and slightly muffled in comparison.
Too much bass too high up in the band, and not much treble.
On it's own, the audio probably get a pass, especially outdoors.
But the OontZ is far better and the Ankers suffer in the briefest of A/B comparisons.
There is a line of the Oontz speakers, the non-stereo pairing being cheaper.
They're small, so they still pack well, though not flat.
A pair of them, with one inverted would pack about the same as that Bose.
I have no idea how this compared to the other suggestions (other than the Anker).
The Marshalls look great and I've always been tempted, just because I've seen so many similar looking Marshall amps at concerts, a couple times seeing huge Marshalls stacked two-high.
But as a travel speaker, I want something compact, and not to pricey should it get... lost.
