#28 Klipsch Gig XL: $84.99 Amazon eBay

Same family: the Klipsch Gig XXL (larger model, ranked higher, rated 3.7/5).

Pros: Commenters on side by side tests found it more balanced than the JBL Partybox Encore Essential, with clearer vocals, and it costs less. Battery powered with a 6.5” woofer, an aux input and lights.

Cons: The JBL Partybox Encore Essential played louder with more bass, and in another test it sounded weakest next to the Encore Essential and the Harman Kardon Go + Play 3. It is only IPX4 splash resistant.
