I just laid to rest my HK onyx Bluetooth speaker.

She was 10 years old.

Surely they have better technology now, I need recommendations.

I have a few UE Booms. Good sound. Easy connectivity. And if you have multiple you can link them for a surround type sound if you have a large gathering.

Edit: Mine are older and it looks like they've increased in price over the years. But the taller cylindrical ones are the ones I have like the Boom 4 on this page...

My kids have those and they are pretty good.
I think the mesh selling point Makes it A winner

I had a UE boom. The 100 ish dollar one and the 300 ish dollar one. I liked them.

Id recommend a Sonos one if you wanna splurge

Daughter has a short (not tall) UE Boom. It goes ok.
I have a Marshall Emberton 2 - it kicks the UEs ass.

Go get the Marshall Acton 3 though. We have that in the office and it's really good.

Does that have mesh interoperability?
