#61 Zealot S97: $78.62 Amazon eBay

Pros: For a compact 3.3kg boombox, the S97 delivers unusually deep, clean-enough bass with a more sensible default balance than many inexpensive Zealot models. It also brings IPX6 protection, aux and microSD playback, power-bank outputs, three EQ presets and PartyAdd linking.

Cons: It is not especially loud for its size, battery life is only a claimed 12 hours, and the bass preset can swamp the rest of the music. There is no app or fine-grained EQ, so the Vocal preset is the only practical way to improve the balance. It is still heavy for a speaker with this output ceiling.

Featured on:

How it compares: Just above it: Raymate M8 - $1 more, 3 more hours of battery life. Just below it: Wet Sounds WS-L - $621 more, 28 more hours of battery life.
