My Perfect Setup
My perfect minimal speaker setup would be 2 $50 (after clipped coupon and coupon UBOOMLWC on the checkout page) Earfun Uboom L for quiet indoor use and travel and 2 $112 Earfun Uboom X for ourdoor and party use in a TWS setup. I believe these two are the best speakers for the money for nearly everyone.
The Best Pocket Size Speaker For Sound Quality
The best pocket size speaker with the best sound quality is the $51 Tribit Stormbox Micro 2.
The Best Small/Medium Size Speaker For Sound Quality
The best small/medium size battery powered speaker with the best sound quality with modern features is the $50 (after clipped coupon and coupon UBOOMLWC on the checkout page) Uboom L running firmware 1.2.7 set to the Oluv EQ in the Earfun app (will need to be changed for the best sound quality and requires PC or virtualization on a Mac).
