I've been researching these lately.....according to many review the UE Boom and the JBL Charge 2 are the best for the money. The charge 2 usually edges the UE because the sound quality and loudness is comparable but the charge 2 is 50 buck less at 150.

I'm probably gonna pull the trigger on a Charge 2+ here shortly.

I have a UE Boom and I love it. Bought it new for $200. I know you asked for one close to $100 but you can get a refurbished UE Boom for $150. Best speaker for your money imo.

Might want to look into this Veho. Small, but good reviews on various sites.

I got this one a while back at sams club.
braven
a bit small, but gives decent volume and still works.

I had a 2nd one from costco, bigger, louder, but it crapped out....just rolled over and died, without any warning. LINK

a dog do not buy it

----------

the sony these guys mention also got good reviews at amazon
so it seems like a safe bet

Damn that's a pretty good deal. How long do you get on a charge?
