Short answer: the Soundcore Mini 3 for deeper bass, the Mini 3 Pro for lights and a lower price. The Mini 3 goes deeper than most speakers in its size at $41, though it rolls off the highs. The Mini 3 Pro costs $30 and adds lights on top, but its real-world battery life falls well short of the 15-hour claim at higher volumes.
Buy the Soundcore Mini 3 or the Soundcore Mini 3 Pro, whichever you find used in better condition; both are discontinued. For a new speaker, start with the Tribit Stormbox Micro 2 instead.
