Portable Bluetooth Speaker Recommendations?

[AS_BO]

I got a Denon Envaya Mini for Christmas but that's going back to Amazon for poor battery life and distorted bass frequencies even at low volume.

Can anyone recommend an alternative unit please?

Must haves -

Decent battery life (10 hours + good)
Bluetooth/NFC
Balanced sound with good bass response, clear soundstage with enough to fill a medium sized room
Budget up to £100

Thanks in advance all.

I have a Bose Soundlink Mini II, it's a bit over your budget but it's a seriously good bit of kit for something so small.

Thanks for that, my old man has a soundlink and I've got to admit it is impressive but I don't find it that balanced sound wise, very bass heavy.

I think I fancy this -

Anyone used/heard this?

I randomly received a Beats Pill for Christmas. It's alright, actually, bar the disco lights

JBL Charge is a really impressive little speaker, would recommend :up:

Anker Soundcore is an absolute steal at like £25.
Battery is top notch, get at least 12 hours at nearly full volume and the sound is good, especially for the size (can take calls as well if thats important)

I'd get a Chinese one on Amazon. Spend about £60 and you'll get a belter I think. I bought a bigjambox a few years ago that's still going strong.

Very nice speaker indeed but I bet there are cheaper alternatives these days.

This is what I have. Great speaker providing a nicely balanced sound that fills a room with no issue.

Guy I'm on a training course this week was speaking well of his UE Boom 2 yesterday, they're just slightly over budget on Amazon... 4.6/5 average from over 600 reviews.

I got one of these with my phone contract a few years back, expected it to be cheap and crappy. Turned out it was pretty awesome for the size.

EDIT: not sure about battery life - don't think i've ever remembered to fully charge it.

I got one on eBay for £6 posted.
It's not very good.
