Do you have a good Bluetooth external speaker you can recommend?

Wife likes to listen to music out on the patio, "can you pull wires out there and connect them to home stereo? Um... uh... yeah but it would be a huge PITA.

My brother has the small jawbone and it sounds great, however the price tag is a little disconcerting.

Looking on Amazon there are a bunch of these at a wide range of prices.

Anyone here have one that sounds really good but doesn't cost and arm and a leg?

Thanks!

Just out last night shopping with the wife for a portable speaker. Been using a Bose wave radio with small Jabra BT adapter with the mini-jack plugged into the aux. The Jabra BT adapter are less than $30 and will work with an input or powered speaker. The radio is fine for the deck with outside 120v power wall receptacle but she wanted something portable, cordless and can be within 30 ft. while gardening, etc..

Anyhow, we narrowed it down to the Soundfreaq w/ built in battery. Target had them priced for $99. Very portable and for a small unit, puts out enough. I wouldn't rave of the range but acceptable. The big Jambox and Bozo portable's sound better but more than I care to spend. Although the Soundfreaq is far better sounding than the Jawbone.

I bought the Logitech UE Mobile Boombox for my office and it's fantastic. Bluetooth connection for wireless music. I bring the thing everywhere! And for only 99 bucks it's tough to beat.
