I'm looking for recommendations for a portable Bluetooth speaker for my wife. Sound quality with good bass is the highest priority. Prefer no voice assistance but would like a wifi option and USB-c charging. Thank you in advance.

JBL make fantastic BT speakers. They have everything feom pocket speakers to PA style. I have a charge 3 which is an older portable model that has dual subs and great sound.

I have a JBL Link Portable, which seems to be out of stock, but should fill most of your requirements if you can get your hands on one:

supports Chromecast Audio, AirPlay, and BT
sounds good
has good battery (I get 7-8h of playtime against 8h quotes battery life)
charges over USB-C (both via an included charging dock and a direct cable connection

The only downside is that it has Google’s voice assistant built in, but you can turn it off.
