#60 JBL Partybox On the Go: $300 Amazon eBay

Newer model: the JBL PartyBox On-The-Go 2 Plus, ranked higher, rated 4.4/5.

Pros: JBL Partybox On the Go uses 5.1” woofer + tweeters. Its 7.5 kg, claimed 6 hours (Manufacturer specified) battery life, IPX4 protection, aux input, up to 94dB and limited-stereo playback make it a practical option for its intended room or portable use. A wireless microphone is included. Measured bass extension of 49Hz (-10dB).

Cons: Bass is limited by its 49Hz specification. No EQ adjustment. Battery life is short, and its sound trails the rest of the Partybox line.

How it compares: Just above it: Onn Medium Party Speaker Gen 2 - $210 cheaper, 14 more hours of battery life. Just below it: Sony SRS-XG500 - $100 more, 24 more hours of battery life.
