Need 2 PA speakers for 2 different areas and also a microphone for each. Prefer a wireless mic setup.
Currently looking at the Bose S1 Pro and the various JBL setups.
Looking for recommendations.

Bose S1 Pro
I purchased on a year or two ago for the new boss, it is great, easy to setup and very light.

What is the application? Speaking? Music?
The Bose S1 Pro is great. Buy a nice Shure BLX handheld wireless system and you can't go wrong. Great sounding setup.

Clarification please - do you want each speaker/mic to be separate, or do you want 1 mic to go to both speakers?
The Bose seems pricey to me. I have used a couple of different model ION Bluetooth speakers for years for playing music from a phone, and speaking at events. A couple of years ago I went from a single to a pair to give broader coverage (and play each at a lower volume so I'm not turning up the 1 and blasting people sitting near it). Their newer ones have a feature that will wirelessly connect them and sync the volume control to one of them, that I pair my phone to.
The ION speakers don't have a built in wireless mic capability, so what I ended up doing is grabbing a Roland GO:Mixer. Not the smoothest physical setup but I can use my phone mic to go to the ION.
There are also separate wireless mics which have a battery and a receiver that plugs into the PA speaker. They could also broaden your options beyond something that comes with a wireless mic.

If you want to spend less money especially for just voice live sound and don't need them to be battery-powered consider the Behringer Eurolive powered speakers. They are available wireless ready (they have a USB mic input) or with Bluetooth onboard. They make 8/10/12 and 15" versions that are wireless ready but I think they only do 12 and 15" in Bluetooth onboard. The 8" would be adequate for just voice and I think it is what the Bose has.
They are definitely good value for money. Youl could get 2 8" versions and 2 mic for less than one Bose S1 Pro.

This is the way. Good performance and great flexibility. Which setups were you looking at in particular?
