Do I want a portable speaker or a smart speaker like the Sonos Era 100?
Reviewer consensus
It depends on use. The Sonos Era 100 is a plug-in, Wi-Fi-and-Bluetooth smart speaker praised by rtings.com and cnet.com for room-filling sound and a strong streaming platform, but it is not battery-powered. For beach, pool, and travel, a battery-powered IP-rated unit like the JBL Flip 6 or Charge 5 is the better fit.
