#85 JBL Grip: $99.95 Amazon B&H Photo Video eBay

Pros: Ambient light on the back with settable themes. Measured bass extension of ~68Hz (-10dB).

Cons: Lacking deeper bass, definitely the worst of the JBL line until you get to the smaller clip. Not as much clarity as higher ranked speakers, rolled off highs and wavy midrange

Setup: EQ from Oluv in his post can help it a bit but still isn’t very neutral

How it compares: Just above it: Tronsmart Mirtune S100 - $20 cheaper, 6 more hours of battery life. Just below it: Sony ULT Field 1 - $38 more, 2 fewer hours of battery life.
