Monster S150 Bluetooth Waterproof Portable Speaker
A reasonable poolside speaker at $79.99, undercut by a listing that leaves too many specs blank and a perfect star rating resting on very few reviews.
Best for: Buyers who want a rugged, splash-proof speaker for a bathroom, kitchen, boat or backyard and care more about durability and convenience than audiophile detail.

The most refined small JBL yet: genuinely tough, genuinely loud for its size, and genuinely missing a microphone.
Best for: Anyone who wants one speaker for the shower, the beach, the campsite and the kitchen counter, and who values durability and portability over deep bass or all-day battery.
