Thanks for the advice.   Good to know about the ION one which looked totally cheesy to me but now I'll take another look.
Am also looking at Oontz (by Cambridge Soundworks) and JBLs.

For portable:  not pocket or needing to transport by hand/bike/backpack necessarily.   Maybe small boombox size.

For ZEBRA:  Yep, they still play around.   Barely 10 shows a years so no real "tour"...

I have the OONTZ Angle in my shower and love it. I'm sure the XL would be just as good.

I love my little JBL but I only use it indoors, mostly for talk radio.  Music goes to the Sonos.

I use Sonos in my house as well, but the ion for the deck or picnics or that sort of stuff since Sonos doesn't have a battery-powered model for outside.

I'd recommend a play 1 or 3 that you can plug into outside power that connects to your wifi, brah.

I don't have outside power, brah. And even if I did it wouldn't fill the gap for when I need the ability to play music off my premises. Looked at a portable battery pack and a VPN and honestly it would've been more costly and time consuming than buying what I did and plugging in my phone the 3-4 times a year I'll use it.

I guess you don't have the quality standards I assumed you had.

Went by Walmart and picked up the Ion. Same price as Amazon and I can put it to use Saturday.

It is kinda blah looking but who cares. Didn't get to demo one, unfortunately.
