Unless you have budget, opt to look into wireless home audio.
Meaning you can stream music from your phone to each BT speaker using the app.
This can be HIFI, BT speaker or even soundbar.
However such products are not for people on budget.
If on budget just get a decent BT speaker and carry it around.
I won't comment on Creative, they are good speakers.
But if you want a more lasting and reliable speaker get other brand.
That's a good point of view.
I'm going to be portable at home and a speaker that is portable will be the best e.g. work in study, meditate in bedroom. Soundbars and wireless home audio may not be that portable.
That's why I thought why not a BT speaker. When I did a search, a prodigious number turned up. So I figured just having a budget and needs wouldn't cut it.
A better option is to get hands on review in a forum. One thing that stood out especially from a search in amazon is particularly interesting.
I listed couple of speakers above $200, $100 and below $100. Some of the reviews on the middle range is surprisingly good. In fact, I found quite a few sub $100 that are very good too.
Most of the time you get what you pay for but I'm trying to find that sweet spot between price and quality.
I've heard those $20 china made speakers and most really just sound flat (that's what you get for $20). On the other hand, I've tested the USD$149.99 X-mini SUPA and it didn't impress me at all.
I personally haven't test the Creative Roar series for myself but most reviews are pretty good for it's price point. I don't need water proofing nor fancy technologies; just that sweet spot for about $200 to $300 or even $100 if it works.
