Well if you are talking looks, that's subjective. The design however works very well to carry, give a bit of stereo separation and enough space for the bass reflexers. It's completely water and dustproof too. Has a nice woven fabric all around with bumpers around the bass ports to shield them from drops.

Well you said "If sound quality is your top priority on a tight budget" so I felt promoted to reply with the Uboom L. I have had it for around 2 years with absolutely 0 issues. I am ordering another cause it's so good (and both can pair to do stereo 👀)
