With Black Friday here, and Cyber Monday, upcoming; I would like some guidance.

I really need some kind of external speaker to hook up to my old iPhone 5, so I can listen to music.
I did have an old Bose Dock, but that broke, sent it back and it broke again. If it keeps breaking, there is no sense in constantly shipping it out to get fixed. Eventually, it will not be supported by Bose.

I am thinking a wireless, bluetooth speaker. It does not have to be portable. I just want to play some stations from
Tune-In Radio and Pandora. and from what I have downloaded from iTunes. I miss listening to them. The speaker on the phone is so tinny.

I will eventually have to upgrade my phone; so I am thinking bluetooth enabled.

I was looking at the Echo series on Amazon... There is one, the Tap, that I was looking into. For $80, it seemed pretty good to me.

Anyone have thoughts, suggestions.. I am just confused about this, and do not want to go into the stores, but want to take advantage of the sales.

Thanks in Advance

I have heard good things about the Echo. The other one would be the Google Home system. For both though you would want to look into compatibility with your phone.
