Title: XGIMI Horizon 20 Pro + Stremio — VLC plays 4K smoothly but has NO audio, ExoPlayer/MX Player have audio but stutter to ~30fps (all troubleshooting steps tried, still stuck)

Purpose of expensive bluetooth speakers?

I have the JBL Charge5 for when I want to listen to music when I travel and I want something better than my laptop speakers. It's not the super expensive one, I think it was only about $120 or something. It's not 'audiophile' or anything, but it sounds ok considering price and size. I wouldn't buy t

For $500: Used HomePod collection, or reinforce Sonos ecosystem?

I did that with my Apple TV system at first, but then leaned into expanding my WiFi speakers to include Sonos, Bowers & Wilkins, Bang & Olufson, Bose speakers...and...JBL (Charge 5 WiFi, sent back).

Portable Speakers with "Chromecast Built In"

A lot of this depends on your budget. The best all-around at a good price was the Harman Citation 200. Very similar to the Sonos Move 2 in terms of sound and build quality. The official Harman store on eBay put refurbished ones up for sale for only $75US earlier this month (with updated firmware for

Looking for a DAP that works well with a bluetooth speaker.

An alternative is to buy a Bluetooth speaker that also streams over wifi. With wifi your phone isn't tethered to your phone. Costco sells the JBL Charge 5 WiFi for a good price. Others like Sonos or Chromecast would work too.
