I was recently in the market for a speaker. Had an odd set of requirements...
- Portable (i.e. bluetooth + battery)
- Loud (as it's predominantly used in my workshop and on the deck - hence portable)
- WiFi support because bluetooth is annoying for connection-sharing. Spotify Connect is predominantly how I like to connect & share.
I looked into Sonos long and hard, and it looked like a complete mess. For the price, it simply couldn't be justified.
Ultimately I couldn't find something that met all my requirements for the price. So I just bought a UE Hyperboom. 20 hours of battery life + USB Power + Optical & 3.5mm Audio in. I bought a M5 Audiocast from AliExpress that provides WiFi Spotify Connect capability.
