JBL Clip 5

Built for hanging rather than standing. The Clip 5's carabiner is part of the frame and opens wide enough to go around a pack strap, a tent pole or a branch over the picnic table, which gets the sound off the ground and up where people can hear it. It is IP67 sealed and weighs about two-thirds of a pound. The rated 12 hours, plus up to 3 more with Playtime Boost, comfortably covers a long day hike. Clipped to your own pack, it is also the easiest speaker here to keep quiet and close rather than broadcasting to the whole trail.
