Compact Speaker Suggestions?

Wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a small "boombox" type speaker to use at my computer. What I'm looking for is something with multiple speakers/a sub all enclosed in one nice tidy unit (I move around a bit). Primary use will be at my desk, and I already have a tiny battery powered speaker for playing music on a phone/tablet when I travel. Because of this, I'm not concerned with this one being battery powered or having Bluetooth. Also trying to keep cost minimal, would like it to be under $100, and while I do want decent quality, this will mostly be for gaming/listening to music, and I have nice headphones already, so I would definitely consider budget options.

Outdoor techs turtle shell is rather dope. Good sound quality also it would be sick to use for other things on the road.

I second this, Turtle shell is hella dope. Amazing sound. I also have a ODT Buckshot and that works really well too considering how lightweight and compact it is.

I saw the turtle shell, it looks pretty sweet. Price is fine, I was mostly looking for a nonbluetooth/nonportable one in the interest of keeping cost down, because both of these, while cool, aren't absolute necessities for me.

I have a turtle shell and it is amazing. I use it in the car (i don't have an auxiliary port in my car), I use it at home (its so loud I rarely have it above 20% turned up, I use it paddle boarding and kayaking and it fits in my snow pants pocket so I can ski with it too. super dope. I also used a 15% off discount code I found online so I got it even cheaper than it already is.

I'm guessing you mean the regular turtle shell? I was looking at the big turtle shell, but it's a little more than I want to spend. If the turtle shell is that good though, I'll have to check it out.

The Turtle shell is killer! Great sound, size, waterproof and great in just about every scenario. Also it comes with a cord too if your device doesn't have bluetooth too. Definitely worth getting!

Never tried the turtle shell, but I have a JBL Charge and the thing is awesome. Good customer support, too.
