Crowdsourcing: Portable Speaker for Tailgating -- Suggestions Needed

[rich_WDC]

Seeking solid speaker for outdoor use, with
*Bluetooth
*Connectivity for 3.5 plug too
*Decent charge for battery life
*Solid sound, as best as can be for an outdoor portable speaker

$200-250 range is OK.

Any tips?

Define portable.

In your pocket?  On a bike?  In the back of a truck?

Being a tailgater myself, I prefer volume over audiophile quality. It's hard to hear a quiet unit with all the peripheral noise. It's gotta crank and absorb beers and bumping.

I had a Bose speaker but it's shot. I think I may look into a cheap, portable guitar amp.

I cannot recommend this enough.

A friend of a friend had this and I was blown away. Super loud, crisp sound, and battery life like you couldn't believe. Could run a block party off this easily and the people at the end of the block would be jamming.

I bought one of these after seeing one once and have been delighted. Don't let the ridiculously low price fool you; this is an amazing value.

Zebra still tours? Better put them on the bucket list.

I am all for another forum party and/or tailgate. Will bring a case of champagne.

Was actually looking at this. By all accounts it lacks bass but sounds nice. Can't beat the price, either.

The Bose Soundlink 3 is slightly above your range, but sounds very good at higher volumes and has a long battery life.

There's a version with wheels for like $30 more if that's worth it to you.
