My wife, Patti, likes to listen to music while she gardens in the backyard. She can listen through her phone’s speakers, but even though modern smartphone speakers have gotten better, they’re still…

There are many to chose from, including several high-end products costing $200 or more. Some of these might be the right choice for use in the home, but background music while gardening isn’t exactly critical listening, so I opted to try out some inexpensive models. To my surprise, I was able to find several good choices for under $50. I found one decent one for $29. These are current prices. I got mine for a lot less during Amazon’s Prime Day sale.

I also tried out the older $39 Anker Soundcore 2 stereo speaker, which has a MicroUSB connector. If you don’t care about USB C, then definitely consider saving money on the otherwise excellent Soundcore 2. The Anker 3 and the Raymate have stereo speakers, but because the speakers are fairly close to each other, the sound separation isn’t very prominent, especially if you’re a few feet away. I love stereo, but I didn’t find the stereo on these units to be a compelling reason to buy them unless you plan to be right near the speaker as you listen.
