The soundcore boom 2 is legit. I use it daily in a FedEx truck, it's loud, sounds good, has excellent bass and great battery life. But the JBL Charge 5 is still the king for all-around use.

Charge 5 is the best bang. It punches about the same as the bose soundlink flex (gen 2). No brand loyalty here, Ive tried all of them.

If the price doesn't matter, you will probably get the most out of the Charge 5.
