Speakers for the deck- okay to discuss here?

It’s getting warm out and it’s time to spend more time outdoors. I’m looking for a pair of speakers for my deck to use with my iPhone or iPad. I tried a pair of Sonos SL Bluetooth speakers last year but I found it annoying to plug, unplug, and put them away at the end of the day. They sounded fine, but I’d like to be able to just grab them and carry them to the backyard if I decide to change where I’m sitting outside. My WiFi is great, so that’s not a complication.

Whoops! I bought an Extreme 3 from Amazon last night for $319.99. I was going to go with a pair of the Charges, but …
Free return fo 30 days, so if It doesn’t do what I need, back it goes, and I’ll try a pair of the Charges.

I bet you will like the extreme. If you do just buy a second one and pair them together. Nothing wrong with that!

I’m less than thrilled with it.
It seems like it needs to just be a left or right speaker to create any dimensional sound, and the volume isn’t there. The pair of Sonos One SLs I had last year were a little light on bass, otherwise decent sound and good volume, but dealing with power cords was annoying, they’re not weatherproof, and they’re WiFi only. I’m listening from 8’ away on my deck which is 14’x24’, and the extreme is on the rail on the short length (width) of the deck.
