#95 ION Tailgater TD: $109.00 Amazon $109.00 eBay

Pros: A rugged IPX5 speaker with a 5.25 inch woofer and 2 inch tweeter at 3.24 kg, lighter than the ION Tailgater Classic. It has a 1/4 inch microphone input with its own volume, aux input, USB playback, FM radio, app and onboard 3 band EQ, lights, a phone charging port, fast USB-C charging and stereo linking with a second unit.

Cons: A single woofer and tweeter means no stereo from one unit, the battery is rated for about 10 hours, and ION rates it at only 22W.
