Australian here, looking for a speaker to use in loud(ish) warehouse conditions. Specifically conveyors and rolling motors not as loud as heavy machinery.

Currently have the Sony Ult 5 but looking for louder and punchier bass while keeping the portability. Felt like it loses its volume quickly whilst not very far away. Will not be used much indoors

A few i’m considering and their current prices in $AUD

JBL Boombox 4 - $699
JBL Encore Essential 2 - $350
Sony Ult Field 7 - $450
Sony XV500 - $450

Have a mate with the encore and it seems good so leaning towards that. Otherwise holding out for the boombox if it goes on sale. Looking to see if anyone has experience with similar cases?

Cheers
