    This Sony speaker was exactly what I was looking for. It sounds good for the smaller size and it is water resistant. Best part is it uses a type C charging cable.

    The sound is very good. It was easy to hook up to Bluetooth. My only problem with it is that it is black and the controls (volume, etc.) are black therefore hard to see what buttons are what.
