Mini Bluetooth speaker for outdoors... recommendation-seeker...


As the title implies I'm in the market for a small bluetooth speaker that I can take outside. I'm looking for something's that's less than a 1 lb. (In fact, the smaller the better... less than 10 oz. is even better), has great battery life, some water resistance (could be in/around water, shower, rain), and is designed well enough to be carried or shoved away. I'm thinking of spending no more than 50 USD because while I think sound is important, I won't be blasting anything with this speaker... mostly just podcasts and light tunes.

I'm looking at Anker Souncore Mini 3, Flare 2, Icon Mini & JBL Clip 4 & 3Go. Again, mostly interested in a lightweight, go anywhere, do anything minimalist speaker. I have a Soundcore 1 and it's been old reliable, but ideally something smaller / lighter would be cool. Thanks.

I was going to suggest the Marshall Emberton. I have one in my garage and it’s great. But not for $50. 
 

For $50, I’d just look for something used on CL or FB Marketplace near you. 

oontz angle 3 costs around $30 and sounds surprisingly good; also waterproof and durable

JBL Flip or Sony SRS XB13. The JBL has better bass, both work well and have long lasting batteries.
