#86 ION Hype XL: $99.00 Amazon $169.00 Sam’s Club $99.00 eBay
Pros: A five driver boombox with a 5.25 inch woofer, two 2.75 inch midranges, two 1.5 inch tweeters and two passive radiators, rated at 110W. It is IPX6 water resistant, fast charges over 70W USB-C, links to other speakers over Auracast, and adds app 3 band EQ, aux input, USB playback, a phone charging port and multicolor lights.
Cons: Its bass is nowhere near as deep as top ranked boomboxes like the Tribit Stormbox Blast and Harman Kardon Go + Play 3, which reach down to about 43 Hz and 35 Hz. No independent reviews or measurements yet, so its rating is estimated from ION’s similar speakers. At 5.5 kg it is heavy for a handle carried speaker, and the rated battery life of 10 to 12 hours is ordinary for its size.
