I just bought the Soundcore X600 recently for $150us. It sounds good out of the box. I found its sound frequency graph on RSTING web site and fine tuned its equalizer. It now sounds very close to my full $5000 sound systems in the mids and high at normal level. For a tiny bluetooth speaker, it doesn't have the deep bass as big subwoofer, but just enough for a nice casual listening. I don't think you can find any battery bluetooth speaker with this sound quality at this price.

@@papatoni3311 I have a system costing $5,000 and no way does the X600 come close. It achieves a false sense of clarity through its forward and bright presentation, which is mostly mids and highs.

I’ve had the Bose soundlink flex since May, it’s been a very reliable good sounding durable machine. The multi pairing with other Bose speakers is very nice, the sound is very filling even in larger rooms and in the open. It tends to be more bassy but that’s cool with me. The sound link flex is usually more expensive than the jbl flip models which are of similar size and premium feel, but the soundlink flex sounds better. Lack of aux port is a drawback in my opinion, and the battery life could be better.

I'm looking for something that bumps and gives a lot of bass. I'm willing to spend money on it, and I've heard my buddy's Soundcore Motionboom Plus, and it's not really nearly as good as I want. I think the Sony XV800 would be the closest on the list that I'm looking for. But I was kinda hoping to get something slightly smaller so it would conveniently ride-along on a golf cart. Any suggestions??? Does the JBL Xtreme3 or Marshall Middleton bump significantly better than the Soundcore Motionboom Plus???
