Bluetooth speaker

[Rafamorales]

Hi guys
After read almost all the internet I decided to write here to solve my doubts and get some help from you.
I have the Polk Camden Square, I really like its sound but I don like its bass.
So I am thinking in change it and my options are this:
Onkyo x9
Cambridge G5
Harman Kardon Onyx
JBL Extreme

I would like to know your opinion and get some advices on which one buy.
I want the speaker to my house, to listening in the backyard and small parties.
I think Onyx is the most powerful of them but also is the one that has less battery.
I want good quality sound, this is the most important.
I travel a lot to a lake so I need to use the speaker unplugged.

I am in Chile so I can't go to a store a try these speakers because they are not here.
I am going to buy it in the US next month.

I hope you could help me with this.

I will be waiting for your comments.

Thanks in advance.

Hi.. thought I would post some kind of response to your question. Unfortunately it's very difficult to recommend a Bluetooth speaker given that there are so many different ones out there. And sometimes the conflicting requirements of having a portable outdoor speaker and one that sounds good may mean you need to compromise. I find most single Bluetooth speakers to be OK, but not great as they lack stereo separation. I recently got some very cheap Philips Fidelio speakers (stereo pair) and linked them up to a Bluetooth receiver. This sounds better than the portable one box Bluetooth speakers I have. So maybe you could have a more permanent set up for your house and a portable long lasting battery speaker for outdoor parties and trips to the lake. Maybe it's worth looking at internet recommendations ... like this:

Thank you so much Tino.
I have already read all this reviews but I feel they are just opinions and don't make the same tests, also don't even have the same information in the spec info.

I will continue reading an seeing YouTube reviews.

Thanks again

Best

I recommend the JBL xtreme that you mention.

I recommended my father buy a JBL flip 3 on the strength of reviews both here, elsewhere online and a quick and dirty listen when one was on display. He (and I) could not believe it was possible to get such a powerful yet clear sound from souch a small device, plus it will take a bit of rain and the battery lasts for a long time.

The Xtreme seems to be like the big huge brother, so I think it will do everything the flip 3 does, but just bigger all around. I don't think you'd be disappointed with this speaker.

Truth is they probably all are good
