I'm considering buying a portable speaker to stick in my luggage when I travel, for use with music from phone, laptop and that kind of thing.
There's heaps of rubbish ones but I want something that sounds good (main music types would be AOR, Yacht Rock, chill out and jazz) and will last. No need for ludicrous bass levels or massive volumes - I rarely listen to loud music these days.
Ideally it would charge from a charger I have to carry anyway, so USB rather than some special mains adapter.
It should be reasonably light (750g max I would say), sound good, be well made, reliable, use APT-X if possible and easily packed. Does not have to be waterproof but that never hurts if it's an option.
My shortlist (based on reviews rather than listening) is
- Bose Soundlink Mini II
- Bose Revolve
- Riva Audio S
- UE Boom II
Does anyone have any recommendations, comments or alternatives to suggest?
