What's your favorite small portable speaker? - eviltoast

I have and love the UE Roll, fucking little powerhouse 💥

Edit: anyone know of a similar form factor to mine, just want to know what else is out there for redundancy’s sake

    I rarely use speakers, as my environment is one where I might bother others easily. On the rare occasions that I do, I use some small old USB Logitech speakers from ages back. I have a surround sound speaker setup with subwoofer and such sitting around, but don’t bother to plug it in, since I’m just not going to use it.

    I mostly use headphones, though I’ve got an elaborate mass of mixers, sound interfaces, headphones, and multiple clock-synchronized powered mics hooked up to the computer.

    I will say that small speakers have come a hell of a long way since the 1990s, when I remember them consistently sounding kind of tinny. They pretty much all sound great to me today.

      You’re really missing out on what you can get the sound to make you feel, like actual feel and sense from just sound that is strategically modulated.

      My airpods are fantasic but they can’t really shake/rock your world the way even a proper portable speaker can bust out. Its like that famous old guy in the chair being blasted by his sound system

        b) No “portable speaker” compares to the fidelity of a wired stereo system. it’s like arguing which is the healthiest junk food

        c) DOSS Soundbox XL

        d) get off my lawn
