#74 EcoXGear Defender: $299.00 Amazon eBay

Pros: A rugged 4.54kg outdoor speaker with IP67 protection, a floating design, a flashlight, bottle opener, aux input, USB-C power-bank output and claimed 25-hour battery life. Independent testing found it gets very loud for its size, while its three ecoEQ presets let you choose a bass-heavy default, a more balanced indoor mode or a brighter outdoor mode.

Cons: Its single front-facing driver layout has narrow dispersion: clarity and detail drop noticeably when you move off-axis, and the soundstage is limited. The default setting can be over-bassy at lower volumes, while there is no app, precise EQ, battery indicator or multi-speaker party mode. Bass does not reach as deep as competitors.

How it compares: Just above it: Bumpboxx Flare 6 - $1 more, 13 fewer hours of battery life. Just below it: Gemini GGO-650L - $199 cheaper, 15 fewer hours of battery life.
