The soundcore boom 2 is legit. I use it daily in a FedEx truck, it's loud, sounds good, has excellent bass and great battery life. But the JBL Charge 5 is still the king for all-around use.

If the price doesn't matter, you will probably get the most out of the Charge 5.

Charge 5 is the best bang. It punches about the same as the bose soundlink flex (gen 2). No brand loyalty here, Ive tried all of them.
