#40 Sony SRS-XB13: $61.49 Discontinued Amazon eBay

Newer model: the Sony SRS-XB100, ranked higher, rated 2.9/5.

Pros: Sony SRS-XB13 uses 46mm. Its 255 g, claimed 16 hours (Manufacturer specified) battery life, IP67 protection, up to 88dB and mono playback make it a practical option for its intended room or portable use. A removable strap hangs it from a bag or bike. Measured bass extension of 88Hz (-10dB).

Cons: Bass is limited by its 88Hz specification. There is no companion app. No EQ adjustment. Not much bass, and the sound is muddy. Discontinued.

How it compares: Just above it: Sony SRS-XB100 - $2 more. Just below it: JBL Clip - $11 cheaper, 11 fewer hours of battery life.
