BiPolarBear 476 Posted June 10, 2020 I have a Bose Soundlink Color II, and love it. There is no comparison, however, between it and the A2. The A2 could be used like deck top studio monitors. Have you considered AirPods or some other EarPods? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DonS 3,063 Posted June 10, 2020 I bought a pair of these Oontz Angle 3 Ultra as they can be setup in unison or as separate left/right speakers. Ended up just keeping one on my office desk and the other up in my wife's office. Sound quality is just fine and was maybe only $60 or so for the pair. Can't remember exact cost. https://www.theoontz.com/oontz-angle-3-ultra-portable-wireless-bluetooth-speaker Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
