Hi all
I am looking for a portable bluetooth speaker with voice prompts for power on/off and connection. I had one that recently quit that had a carabiner which was really handy. It was small enough to fit the palm of my hand. I think the brand was BlackWeb and it came from walmart but can't find it any longer.
Does anybody have any recommendations for a smaller speaker with voice prompts and some sort of belt or carabiner clip? Oh and did I mention not really expensive?
Thanks in advance,
Jim

The JBL clip speakers, I think the current one is the 4, might work for you. They have a strong carabiner clip built on to the speaker itself, and it does not have voice prompts. However, it does have a distinctive sound for powering on, powering off, and when a Bluetooth connection is made, and when it goes into pairing mode. It has easily identifiable buttons that are all shaped differently. It has great sound for its size, and it claims to have a 10 hour battery life. Hopefully that helps. The JBL Clip 4 should be pretty easy to find at any store that sells Bluetooth speakers.

If you're looking for something that's like your old speaker, maybe the Anker SoundCore Mini 3 would work for you.
It's very portable, has a built-in strap, and is waterproof. I think it has impressive bass for its size.

I agree with Oliver's recommendation. You can get this Stormbox from a company called A.T. Guys. The speaker manual is in an accessible format. Along with the small speaker, they have two larger ones. I have the next size speaker which is called Tribit Stormbox Pro. Highly recommend! A.T. Guys phone number is 269-216-4798.
