Any suggestions for a speaker under a $150.

Bose bluetooth speakers are really good. I have the sound link mini and it is really good and I have a Bravia BRV-X that is weatherproof and it is good but not as good as my Bose.

What do you plan on using it for? Ion makes a great portable speaker for the beach/tailgating/bbqs.
This is the one I have: LINK
If you must stay under $150 try this one:

Just about the same thing, but a little smaller and doesn't have the wheels (I don't really use the wheels anyway)
I have multiple Ion products, and they are all work really well.

UE Boombox hands down. 6 people I know have bought them after hearing mine.

Bose SoundLink packs a ton of power into a portable package. And you can't beat this price
DELL - $129

I dunno, sure seems like $35.99 did a pretty good job on beating that price....maybe I'm missing somethin'

Ive been seeing the ION Tailgater speaker for $150 a lot lately. If you want LOUD and quality, that speaker is my favorite tech I own.

You can find good ones for 100-150, but Bluetooth speakers you get what you pay for
The 10-40 dollar ones will do fine and then break

perhaps, but I paid $90 @ costco for exogear one and it just rolled over and died after 6mos
price isn't always the clue [ the exogear is 129.00 retail ]
I also have a braven but it is still going strong.
paid 70
no way to know for sure but try and buy, then see what happens

I was looking for a cheap speaker for the bathroom and to occasionally take out to the pool, so I bought the one you linked. It came in yesterday, but I haven't played with it yet. Should be able to put some time into it this weekend though.
Side note: we need a stickied amazon/ebay thread where people can post the shite they buy for cheap online. I love threads like these because someone usually posts something I am interested in (like a $35 Bluetooth speaker!). I can't help but lurk every TV thread even though I have no need for a new TV. Even the damn vacuum thread almost had me pulling the trigger on one of those,

OP, Amazon has the Bose Soundlink Mini on sale for $179 right now. Reading the reviews, it appears people vastly prefer the sound quality to it over the smaller, cheaper one. Spend another $30 and get a better unit.

Lol I keep seeing this posted a lot on here. That speaker is not loud nor quality. I had two of them. It wasn't even loud enough for a tailgate and you can't turn volume past 1/2 without distortion.

hahahahaha
so did I....ordered it yesterday.
and I posted my review of the exogear spkr on amazon and a rep said they got a 3yr warranty and offered to fix it!!! but I'll just take the refund....I don't trust it now.
looking forward to your comments

In use right now!
Very good little speaker for the yard/pool/BBQ
Won't be good for a house party or tailgate, but very good non the less...

So my review of the Oonz Plus for under $40:
It's legit. Smaller than what I though it would be. The Amazon description definitely tells you the size (6"x3"x3"), but the compact size still surprised me when I unboxed it. The sound is great. Very high quality! Even with the volume all the way up, the quality of the sound doesn't decrease. I suggest turning the volume on your phone/device up all of the way first and then adjusting the volume on the speaker to the desired level. That seems to give me the best sound.
As I mentioned, it is a smaller speaker. So if you want something to rock a house party or a tailgate, then I suggest getting something bigger as you may not be able to get that high of volume. If you want something simple for around the house (bathroom, pool, etc...), then I highly suggest it. And it is very easy to take places. Its built sturdy enough to just throw in a bag and take on the go. They do apparently sell a travel case separately specifically for it, but I don't see the need for that with what I plan to do with it.
Also, it had a charge on it when delivered, so I haven't needed to charge it yet. So I can't comment on battery life or charge time. Other reviews claim 3 hours to charge a dead battery until fully charged and that it will run for 15 hours straight on a full battery. If that's accurate, then I'll probably only have to charge it every few months. I also only used it for music, so can't comment on how a movie sounds over it.
I'll bump this thread after I test charging it and play with it a little more. I really can't imagine a much better sound for the price though. Maybe the bass can be a little lower, but it isn't a big issue. That would be my one complaint if I was forced to pick one.
I highly suggest it for someone who wants a speaker for around the house.
