I've had a Cambridge Soundworks Oontz Angle for years and years. It performs very well as a bluetooth speaker or speakerphone (it has a microphone). It *is* small enough to hold in one hand. It's currently $30 on Amazon. The smaller Oontz Angle Solo is on sale for $20 less 20% with a coupon. I'd recommend either.
