I know you wouldn't use portable speakers for your computer setup (if you are, what are you doing?)

 

I've been looking for portable speakers for some time now and I've found one that interests me:

I just use a Logitech Wonderboom for portable duty. Budget Bluetooth speakers aren't going to be as good as their wired counterparts, but it's nice having that extra flexibility.

 

Mine usually hangs out in the shower because it's nice listening to music before work lol

I almost bought the one that you posted up there but ended up going with the slighter higher end model the Soundcore Boost.

 

https://www.amazon.ca/Anker-SoundCore-Bluetooth-Speaker-Technology/dp/B01N4V4X5M/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1532722417&sr=1-1&keywords=anker+soundcore+boost

 

Its $90.00 CAD but it easily rivals the bose sound link's and its a very good speaker for its size.. it lacks a tiny bit of treble but with an adjustment on your equalizer its perfect.. The speaker is totally acceptable without the adjustment its just because I listen to decent audio gear 98% of the time..   There is also AUX , USB Charging for your phone etc so it doubles as a power brick and the water resistance is good.  I have had this at the beach in mexico, at work in a machine shop or at home on the patio.  I wouldn't say this is a substitute for a proper pair of stereo speakers and an amplifier but its very versatile and is good for the price.

 

Here is a video comparing a few bluetooth speakers:

 

 

If you have any other questions about it let me know.

 

Cheers.
