Hi all, just wondering if anyone has some recommendations for the best Bluetooth speaker to buy for around $60?
I know not to expect the world for the price, i mainly care about sound, not too concerned about battery life or gimmicks.
The Kmart "Bluetooth Portable Pro Speaker" for $59 seems like a good buy for the money but i can also not find any reviews of it (maybe someone here owns that speaker and would like to chime in?).

Thanks all, once again i know not to expect a lot for the budget but it's not going to be used often so i don't wanna drop a heap of money on it.

  +1 for Anker.
  
  If you can up your budget to $100 these are really good https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/jbl-flip-essential-portab…

    Agree with anker for $60, and stretching to that JBL, if you can it's a top little speaker.
    
    Edit: it's actually $80 at Target https://www.target.com.au/p/jbl-flip-essential-portable-blue…

Get the Edifier R1010BT. Outstanding value for $56.

  What is up with that “frequently bought together?”
  
  The speakers, Quilton TP, and a Bosch 27 piece ratchet set?!

The best one is the JBL Flip 4.
It's small enough to fit into a Cup Holder, I've used it in the car when stereo broke. Managed to find it on sale for $90. Worth every cent. They have the best quality and highest volume in that size. Pretty lightweight for hiking/trips, it's waterproof, and battery life is excellent. And they go from good to great when you connect two units together to give a 3D/Stereo sound, easily challenging larger and heavier units that cost much more.

It's hard to find these days as they're now discontinued. The Flip 5 replacement is actually a downgrade if you look at it. The JBL Flip Essentials isn't that good to be honest, it's fine not great. Basically it's a JBL Flip 2 that's been refreshed and sold in lower budget.

However, since money is an obstacle I say go for the Anko Speaker. At $60 it's small, light, decent battery. Also it's 2x 15W so it should be loud, but not very tuned. I say don't overthink it, and just buy that and be content:
