Title: Recommendations for HiFi WiFi Battery speaker for outside?
Post by: AndrewFG on March 29, 2021, 12:49:49 pm: I need a new speaker for use in my garden with MC. Any recommendations for ones that work well and sound great?

That is described as a Bluetooth speaker; so how do you think that should work with MC via WiFi?

For these occasions I am using the BoomBoom 100 in TX mode.
DAC output connected the input and the BB100 transmits to the BT Speaker.

Or using Gizmo to play from my MC-server and use the phone BT, to connect to them.

For portable.....I have the Sonos Move......sounds fantastic. I'm also buying the smaller Sonos Roam that came out today.

For cheap outdoors that sound good I have the Dayton passives - O525WT

Not the best, but weather proof, pretty good sound including good bass, long battery life, you can charge other devices from it, and can be found less than $25 from time to time.

The way my backyard 'works' anything more expensive just wouldn't be taken outside.
