Speakers for the deck- okay to discuss here?


It’s getting warm out and it’s time to spend more time outdoors. I’m looking for a pair of speakers for my deck to use with my iPhone or iPad. I tried a pair of Sonos SL Bluetooth speakers last year but I found it annoying to plug, unplug, and put them away at the end of the day. They sounded fine, but I’d like to be able to just grab them and carry them to the backyard if I decide to change where I’m sitting outside. My WiFi is great, so that’s not a complication.

I have a pair of JBL Flips and my dad has a pair of the JBL Charges. The flip is more compact and the pair does nice for background music on our smaller patio. The Charge is slightly larger and works better for my Dads larger outdoor area. The sound from the charge is more full with better bass response for sure. I don’t miss anything necessarily when I use my Flips but the charges are definitely a worthwhile upgrade. Both models sound shockingly good for the size and the cost in my opinion.
How about the JBL Extreme 3? It has a 3.5mm input, and I was wondering about getting and tethering a Dragonfly in between my iPhone and the Extreme 3? Worth it on the deck?
