hey, so portable speakers, any worth a fuck? - GoFuckYourself.com

dyna mo · 04-21-2015, 11:13 AM

with bluetooth and 3.5 jack

C H R I S · 04-21-2015, 11:18 AM

Love my portable bluetooth speakers - great on the beach.

Try the Bluetune Bean. Waterproof.

Amazon.com: Divoom Bluetune Bean bluetooth Speaker for Smartphones - Retail Packaging - Black: Cell Phones & Accessories

Decent sound and you can clip em to your bike or anywhere else.

Sly · 04-21-2015, 11:21 AM

I have the JamBox and I have given them out as gifts. Really nice. Love it.

I also just got the Amazon Echo, going to do some comparisons between that and the JamBox.

Last week I was at the Bose display store and they had some real neat ones as well.

WarChild · 04-21-2015, 11:21 AM

I have a Bose Soundlink. Mine is a second gen model and they're up to third gen now. Never been a "Bose guy" before really, but I've been happy with the sound and the battery lasts a good long time on a single recharge. The leather case it's wrapped in is clean looking and functional. All in all I like it a lot.

I have to admit that I didn't test drive a whole lot of other options, especially the cheapter $100 range ones so I don't really have much to compare it to.

seeandsee · 04-21-2015, 11:27 AM

I want to buy levitating one from dx, cheap maybe 30$

BlackCrayon · 04-21-2015, 11:33 AM

i have this. good for listening to on the beach or by the campfire.

I picked up one of those 20 or 30 dollar ihome single speaker ones, you can link them together. One by itself sounds surprisingly good for the price.

I have a Bose Soundlink too and it's fantastic. Really great sound from a little unit.

dyna mo · 04-21-2015, 11:56 AM

nice, i'm going through these, the bose doesn't seem to have the 3.5mm jack

big price variations! $20 -> $300, where's the sweet spot? would like 10+watts.

Yo Adrian · 04-21-2015, 12:06 PM

This Martin Logan is the shit, sound quality is unbelievable
Amazon.com: MartinLogan Crescendo Wireless Speaker System (Walnut): Electronics

I put Martin Logans in my theater and never looked back. I now have them in my living room, bedroom and replaced my Bose wireless with theirs. Of course, the Bose was really impressive as well. I'd say fork for the higher end of whatever brand you're looking at, you'll have the speaker for so long it will be worth it.

Nicky · 04-21-2015, 12:17 PM

I have an iLoud. 3,5mm jack, good range on the bluetooth and awesome sound quality including bass from such a small unit.

O MARINA · 04-21-2015, 12:19 PM

I have this one and it's good.

Hey Dyna, have you considered building one?

Check out the parts-express.com tech talk section towards the right-hand side of the menu bar. Its a forum so I don't wanna get bitch-slapped linking to it. I've found a few decent home made Bluetooth builds that would rival most big box store giant boombox systems and run off cheap rechargeable banks. All parts avail from their store. Users usually provide wiring examples, diagrams, cutout dimensions etc.

Prolly 100-150 once done and make the beats pill box style speaker systems wet their panties in fear.

Yep you really should listen to it, I went with this one after comparing live with the big jambox and the soundlink II, it was a no brainer for me but some are more concerned with looks than sound quality.

ErectMedia · 04-21-2015, 08:06 PM

Looked at a few but haven't pulled the trigger yet. Did pick these up for desktop though and happy. Shit says wireless but that's just their way of saying bluetooth as it has wires connecting everything.

UE Boom is awesome. Bluetooth and 3.5 jack. Really long battery life. Some reviews complain of no bass but if you place it on a solid surface - like floor or patio - it really kicks up the bass. And you can get two and pair them together for stereo sound.

This is what I have, I ended up getting an Iphone 6 for free when I purchased it. Still in the box, contemplating Ebaying it.

Rand · 04-22-2015, 09:03 AM

I have had several portable speakers and hands down the best one I've used is Klipsch KMC-1. It's a little heavy but the sound it creates and the longevity of the battery life is worth it. For an all around portable speaker, you really can't go wrong with this one.

Here's a review.

Rochard · 04-22-2015, 09:10 AM

I bought one a few years ago - Awesome. Holds a charge for ever and a day, nice and tiny, yet nice and loud. I can use it anywhere.

The UE Boom or the iPhone is still in the box?

And it seems odd to get an expensive item (iPhone) for free when purchasing a less expensive item like the UE Boom. Good deal though.

The UE boom is brand new in the box. Buddy is a manager at a Verizon store. Terminated my existing contract I had with a Samsung Note 4 for free (3 months in a 2 year term), then offered me the iphone 6 32GB and speaker for $199.99 + tax. I dont know what strings were pulled but I made out on that deal. Note 4 just sold for $500. Just not sure if i should keep this speaker or not. I don't have much of a need for it, but its the type of thing that once you get rid of it then I'll want to use it.

Wendy-Etology · 04-22-2015, 10:36 AM

Wow sweet deal. You might as well keep the speaker since you basically got if for free.

Or sell it to dyna mo since he is looking for a good portable.

dyna mo · 04-22-2015, 11:06 AM

Phil, I'll paypal you $50 for that UE Boom you got for free! right now. BOOM! that'll buy a lot of egg whites amigo! like ~10 days worth for you.
