If you want to be the life of the party, then the Epicboom from Ultimate Ears is the way to go. It's big, it's brash, and its waterproofed about as much as a Bluetooth speaker can be. We absolutely loved our time with the Epicboom, and we where impressed by not just it's solid sound and great ruggedization, but the cool colorful design as well.

The standout feature is its 360° sound, allowing music to project evenly in every direction. Unlike front-facing speakers that sound best from one position, the Epicboom delivers a balanced listening experience no matter where people are standing, making it ideal for parties, outdoor gatherings, and group listening. Another major highlight is its deep, powerful bass.

Cons: Not very deep bass for the size. Gets distorted at around 70-80% with bass thuds.
