Awesome list. I didn’t know so much could go into choosing a portable speaker! I have one now, but it’s pretty outdated and I definitely will use your list to choose a new one. I’m leaning toward the UE Roll 2 so I can take it into the shower. Plus, it looks pretty sick.
thanks Sean, glad that you liked the list and UE is definitely rolling these days with the small form factor, decent price and good sound. Cheers
