I have [this one](JBL Flip 3 Splashproof Portable Bluetooth Speaker, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0145EOFDO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_7wlJzbG3HK57Y and it bumps. Only complaint I have is the on/off noises are a little loud, but it's a small price to pay for this much high quality sound. Very well balanced. Also you can get two, pair them and have surround sound and more volume. Really great for the uses you describe. Will fill the room or outdoor space fully.
I would suggest the JBL Flip 3 - $80 on Amazon right now. Decently powerful, portable, and warm. I've been happy with it.
I have one of the JBL splashproof ones. Best seller on Amazon and about $75
It is not as nice as some of the other ones(I have a sonos too) but it works great for listening to music on the deck or by the pool.
It's compressed digital music. It's never going to sound "good," but you can do "okay" quite easily. The simplest method would be to buy a powered, stereo speaker (even a good Bluetooth portable would work) and simply connect it directly with a cable. The second easiest would be to connect that same cable to a small amplifier (try a $25 T-amp) and a pair of bookshelf speakers.
I have my Dot wired to a powered Bluetooth speaker on my nighstand. It actually sounded better than my full-sized Echo, for less than half the price.
You can get a pretty nice one for $200. You can get a decent one in the $40 range that will suite your needs. I've had the Oontz angle and it's plenty loud and works fine. But you could spring for the JBL Flip which is really quite nice.
Its a hair over $60 but this speaker is great for the money. If you can't budge at all on the price, I have a speaker very similar to this one and its got some great sound for the price. Both are very good speakers, so you really can't go wrong.
I have a buddy who rides with this in a coozy in his bottle cage: good battery life, if you're riding with him you can hear it well enough to jam along:

Another buddy uses one of these, no report on battery life, good sound for rider only.

This is the one I was thinking of. Fits in your bottle cage, and the sound is very impressive. Of course this costs much more than a free apple earbud, but it does carry more utility.
Let me guess, you’re replacing one due to a broken charging port?
You’re better off ordering a new one. Even if you find one at an electronics store, Amazon has better prices. If you must look, Office Depot and Best Buy have had JBL speakers in the past.
