Bose SoundLink Color II

The Bose SoundLink Color II is decent for podcasts. It has a well-balanced mid-range, so dialogue is reproduced clearly and accurately. It's also very portable and lasts for almost ten hours on a single charge, so you can listen to podcasts on-the-go. That said, sibilants like S and T sounds may be perceived as dull or veiled due to the speaker's underemphasized treble range.
