I have owned more audio equipment and Bluetooth speakers than I could ever recall even if I tried (seriously though, it's a problem, just ask my wife lol). One truth I have found is that there are some AWESOME budget options out there and brand recognition is not the end-all-be-all for how different people use their Bluetooth speakers. I have higher end Harman Kardon and JBL Partybox portable speakers all the way down to cloned, brand-stamped models that actually beat out similar offerings from the big names. BUT, Pyle is a brand that has always failed to put out anything that sounds good (especially at high volumes), has good build quality, or good durability. They put out products that try to LOOK bigger than their sound will produce.
There are so many better, more reliable options with tons of reviews available. I am legitimately baffled at the fact that a staffer posted a Pyle speaker like this and at this price thinking it was an actual deal to be had. Commissions must be high or bonuses coming up or something because this doesn't belong here

Thanks for your post. Can you give me some recommendations for deals on a good portable one? I has a tribit portable speaker in the past and liked it. Now thinking about a jbl flip 7 perhaps?Are you aware of any good deals currently?
I have a Tribit Micro 2 and really enjoy that one too. The JBL flip series (and JBL speakers in general) are very popular for a reason. I think that the bigger their speakers go, the more they shine while the smaller they get, the more competition there is out there and I have a hard time spending the premium price when a much better value could be had elsewhere. However, they make high quality stuff and have loyal fans for a reason so I never fault anyone for going with those options. If you are considering the Flip 7, you might enjoy one of the best value speakers I've come across: https://a.co/d/jbky545 I got one about two years ago and immediately stopped using my JBL Go 3 (before eventually selling it off altogether). The "brand" on Amazon is called, "Boomcore", but I have found this identical speaker sold under at least two other brand names. I ended up buying a second one and the option to stereo pair them for true left/right separation is fantastic. I continued to check the pricing on them after I bought mine for extremely cheap and was surprised that they really haven't been on sale again on Amazon for about a year (at least not that I caught). For about a week now, they have been just over $12 each which is an absolute steal for what you get and at $25 for two that you can use in true left/right stereo separation, they would sound better and be more versatile than a Flip 7. If you want the highest quality sound in a Bluetooth speaker that is easily portable, the Soundcore Motion+ is an older model nowadays but still has a huge fan base amongst audiophiles and average users alike. Soundcore has continued to update the speaker and the app controls for running a fully custom EQ is excellent and straight forward. I sold my first one years ago and regretted it right up until I rectified my mistake by getting another one lol. I'll hold on to this one. The biggest disappointment/mystery for fans of the Motion+ is the fact that it was so well regarded and praised for it's design features but never had a true successor. They have just continued to sell the original and I can't find any information online about it being discontinued (again, I'm not mad, it is an excellent speaker). It looks to be out of stock currently on their website and in "New" condition on Amazon but I've seen that happen before with supply issues for this speaker so I wouldn't be shocked if it is available in new condition again soon. Link for reference: https://a.co/d/ie787tWIf you have any other preferences of what you are looking to use your speakers for, I might have different recommendations but either way, I hope this helps you out a little!
