Hi tech champions. Looking to get a Bluetooth speaker for the old man. Would use it here and there and doesn't need to be top of the range. Priority on Bluetooth range and Battery Life. Anything up to $150. Thank you!!
Bluetooth Speaker!!! HELP

Thanks for the comment. Seems I am deciding between the UE Boom or JBL Charge 3. JBL charge 3 is advertising battery life up to 20 hours. Do you know much about the JBL?
Not really, but they do seem to have better bass. I've just always been a UE fanboy.
Bose Soundlink Mini - either the first or second version.
This is the first version:

It's subjective depending on who you speak to, but when I first heard it, the sound blew me away! I was amazed that something that size could produce that quality!
+1 for these. My old Logitech UE Mini Boom was not match for these. Wife bought one after one of the surgeons she worked with recommended it
Another +1 amazing bass from this little well-built unit.
UE Boom
With the current price of the boom 3 under $120 that seems to be the best choice https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/426040
Wow, great deal thanks very much for that mate. Do you think physical stores would price match (Christmas present) lol
No, not on ebay sales. But you should be able to buy this and click and collect at your local TGG store before christmas.
I got one of these as a gift and it is surprisingly good for the price

UE Roll, cheaper than the boom. I like the strap for hanging it off door handles and keeping surfaces free. Also waterproof and comes with a little floaties, so if it's an xmas present, and you're hanging out poolside, it's great to set it floating on the water.
It's an outdated model now so it's going for clearance at various places I think!
