Hey guys. Any help here would be awesome.
I'm looking to get some portable speakers. My budget is between $100-$150. I have been doing g some research and it seems to come down to personal taste. I'm currently using jbl on stage I I speakers. The require an external ac. They're about 5 years old and they are actually very loud. But after 5 years of abuse they have finally died. I see that there's lots more options now. While looking I've decided I want ones with built in battery. Blue tooth is cool but not required.
I listen to mostly hard rock, metal, pop, and tv/movies. I'm not highly concerned about a lot of bass as I am about overall volume. I would be using these mostly with my ipod, note 3, and surface tablet.
I've seen the jbl flip 2 ($99) and the jbl charge (I think that's the name $149.99) I see bose has released a set called soundlink color for $129.99.
Are there any alternatives you guys are using that you like? I hear that "the pill" by beats is good but you're mostly paying for brand name.Thanks guys.

i bought one of these for my lab
http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Wireless-Bluetooth-Speaker-Speakerphone/dp/B00E9YIFQ4
and it is pretty awesome
big volume and excellent sound quality for a speaker that small. plus you can link multiples with the free app
Can't speak for the loudness, but it's loud enough for my purposes.
@echo 78 im looking for a little more than that, but thank you!
@mts hmmm that looks interesting. The price is nice too. I think im going to look at that more.
@wrong_button i really do keep leaning towards the charge. Im hoping maybe i can catch a black friday deal. The one MTS showed looks decent as well. im going to do some more research.
i was actually able to get mine for cheaper than that. i think i only paid like 60 or
I have been super happy with it. my lab is maybe lik 7 x 15 or so and it could easily fill a larger room, i have to keep the volume down or else it gets too loud near the classrooms.
if i see another one for cheap i would likely grab a second.
