If you live near water (and have the $250), definitely go with the FUGOO XL... Battery life is ~30 hours at half volume and a good 10-15+ with it turned up. It is also louder than the UE MegaBoom and the bluetooth connectivity works for about 30' in the open. Speaker has mirrored tweeters and subwoofers and each side and two small speakers at each end. Makes it perfect for sitting in the middle of a room or campsite and gives you equal sound all the way around. Also comes with different 'jackets' that slide around the speaker for look or protection.

EDIT: I also have two of the UE Rolls and for $90, they work great in a pinch. Fully waterproof, can clip on to about anything, pretty small/low profile, and you can link two of them together. I usually keep one locked onto my backpack when walking around festivals, beach, etc.
Well there's a lot of solid offerings at that price right now, off the top of my head I can recommend these:
In terms of sound quality the Apple Homepod would blow all of these out of the water, but don't forget it's not battery-powered, so it's not portable like these.
I own the Kilburn and can vouch for it's sound quality, it's great for the size. But all of these are well-received by critics and buyers so you'd best pick based on looks and features :)
Friends, Redditors, Audiophiles, lend me your opinion!
After spending hours reading about speakers and getting nowhere, I now request fellow Redditors to help me make a wise decision about the best value for money wireless speaker. Here's what I'm looking for in a speaker:
Budget: $150 (can stretch it to $175 if there's something really amazing out there but lesser is better).
So far, here's what my shortlist looks like:
I loved Sonos a lot but unfortunately they don't deal well with water, can't be taken outdoors (if I'm correct) and need to be connected to a power source all the time.
Thanks in advance!
Edit: I'm also open to other options as long as they're better than the ones in this list.
