Not sure Olaf here has the best ears, but he’s honest, does direct comparisons and binaural recordings, and takes FR measurements -> https://www.youtube.com/user/clavinetjunkie
In terms of cheap ones, I bought the Anker Soundcore after seeing @Vansen mention it a few times. I think it was $30 on Amazon? It's rad, would buy again
It depends on your setting. I love my RIVA Turbo X for very large rooms or outdoors. It's perfect BBQs, beach, etc., but I don't care for it in my apartment. I use an Anker Souncore Mini as a portable speaker and for smaller rooms.
The bass is overpowering and washes out the rest of the FR in smaller rooms on the RIVA Turbo X. This can be managed by the changing the surface you set it on, but it'll never be great.
I liked the Riva but I had that issue as well. Still my top choice. Willing to spend a bit because I don't have room even for a small bookshelf stereo system
