#122 Marshall Emberton III: $129.99 Amazon eBay

Older model: the Marshall Emberton II (ranked lower, rated 2.7/5).

Smaller model: the Marshall Willen II (rated 4/5).

Larger model: the Marshall Middleton (rated 4/5).

Pros: 30 hour battery life: among the best in its class; a 20 min quick-charge gives 4 hours. IP67 rated, durable rubbery build using 50% recycled plastic. Measured bass extension of 62Hz (-10dB).

Cons: Strange unnatural echo-like sound coloration, bass not as deep as competitors. Not technically a 360 speaker, only front and rear. Not very loud. Not really any different from the Emberton II except having the treble turned down a little bit.

Related speakers: Marshall Emberton II.

How it compares: Just above it: Bose SoundLink Color II - $9 more, 24 fewer hours of battery life. Just below it: Marshall Emberton II - $15 more, 2 fewer hours of battery life.
