What is the best all-around Bluetooth speaker for most people?

Across the reviewers we read, the JBL Charge 5 is the most consistently recommended all-rounder, balancing rugged IP67 build, ~20-hour battery, a built-in powerbank and strong value. rtings.com and soundguys.com both rate it well for outdoor use, and it carries one of the largest, highest verified-purchase rating pools in the category.
