Alan Ross Reviews Top Picks:
Full list at https://www.otza.com/speakers/
Top For value
Tribit Stormbox Blast: Pound for pound champ! Unbeatable combination of deep bass and balance imho for the money. https://geni.us/stormboxblast
Harman Kardon Go Plus Play 3: probably the minimum you can pay currently for a sort of hifi sound https://geni.us/goplay3
Special shout-out
Soundcore Motion Boom: https://geni.us/motionboom Cheap but inferior to the original version and no longer a recommended buy for me.
Mifa Wildbox A Motion Boom alternative.. Some prefer its more neutral sound (they say) .https://geni.us/mifawildbox
Soundcore Boom 2: decent value for a fun party type sound that goes loud with good bass slam https://geni.us/soundcoreboom2
Soundcore Motion Plus Still worth a look, my original world pound for pound champ the Motion Plus can still offer great clarity. https://geni.us/soundcoremotionplus
£50 champion:
Soundcore Boost V2 Great bass for its size, This is classed as a compact travel speaker but for me is a best buy at around £50.
https://geni.us/soundcoreboost
Good value Speakers I actually listen to:
JBL PartyBox Encore: Very small battery but VFM for a deep bass party speaker https://geni.us/jblpartyboxencore
Harman Kardon Go+ Play 3: warmer, smoother and bigger sounding than the go play 2, https://geni.us/goplay3
Onyx Studio 5/6 These two speakers are the most deep bass heavy of the entire Onyx Studio series. https://geni.us/onyxstudio6
Bag of Riddim 2: Not for everyone but a lot of fun especially with some reggae music https://geni.us/bagofriddim
JBL Boombox 3 WiFi: Crazy price but I much prefer its balance to that of the BB3 bluetooth only edition which has a silly 700hz peak https://geni.us/jblboombox3
W-King X20: Goes louder with more bass than the JBL Boombox 3: https://geni.us/wkingx20
Minirig mk3 2.2 system: The Minirigs are as fiddly as hell to setup and the app is flakey but when you get it right and the full 2.2 system (or 4.2 with the minis) is a fantastic hifi like listen.
https://geni.us/minirigmk3
Audio Pro C3: Open and neutral but lacks deep bass, also has WiFi connection. https://geni.us/audioproc3
Marshall Stockwell 2: balanced immersive, not loud. A go-to for me for a relaxing moderate volume listen and quite accurate with bass at 8
https://geni.us/stockwell2
JBL Charge 5: https://geni.us/jblcharge5 Definitely one of JBL’s better value speakers.
Mifa WildRod: https://geni.us/wildrod sits between Soundcore boost and Tribit maxsound plus in sound and is about the same size.
Beosound A1 1st gen: better than 2nd gen, connectivity and battery issues. Deep bass for small size. Not cheap but one of the best listens for its very small and flat size.
https://geni.us/a1gen1
Tribit Maxsound Plus: The most neutral speaker you will find for size and price. Replaced by the less neutral Tribit Xsound Plus 2. https://geni.us/maxsoundplus
Harman Kardon Luna is a very compact very warm soundign speaker and is a fun listen for a travel speaker. https://geni.us/harmanluna
Bose Soundlink Micro Same size as the Tribit Stormbox Micro but different sound signature. Very warm sounding but falls away at loud volumes (relatively). https://geni.us/bosesoundlinkmicro
Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 Much cheaper than the Bose Micro option and way better value but a very different sound. More clinical (neutralish) than the Bose.
https://geni.us/tribitmicro2
Tribit Stormbox Pro: Recently dropped to $99 making it great value
https://geni.us/tribitstormboxpro
Bose Revolve+: Crazy high price of $250 normally. I can’t recommend to buy it for a single driver 360 degree speaker at that price but at around 70% volume I find it a great listen https://geni.us/bosesoundlinkrevolve
