Default Portable speakers

Looking for something with WIFI for my workshop that can plug into a wall socket for recharging, these seem to be good quality sound with good reviews and get good reviews.

I have both sets of those speakers you mention and the Jam one is louder than two of the x2 mini's. They also do a Jam plus which is a little bigger as I have just bought one but I have never listened to it yet but it has to be better than the smaller version.

.
There is a cheap one for £20 on Amazon its 6 watts which I have as well and it goes quite loud and is on par with the Jam speaker if not a little louder but you can only adjust the volume via your phone

Use a normal usb lead into your phone plug or similar and that will charge all the speakers as its all I do
