Dane I seem to have narrowed it down to a make called Doss. I've never heard of this make of speakers at all.
You can never go wrong with any kind of B&O product. Pricy but good.

Some are incredibly worthwhile attention seekers whilst the majority unfortunately seem to have one problem or other. Having a lightning port as a charging connector doesn’t surprise me, obviously this Bluetooth speaker was designed to be used in conjunction with IOS. The Lightning port has an uncertain future so I’d stay away from thise if possible and elect to go with something that has a USB C port. A round speaker as you described it makes me think of Logitech though it could be a million others. I’m glad you mentioned Bluetooth speakers as I’ve been in conversation with a friend who has several different pairs of Bluetooth speakers, like me he’s addicted to his audio and particularly Bluetooth speakers right now so I’ll go through the 3 pairs I know Tom has and summaries his comments on those. Tom bought a JBL Charge 4 and it seems a nice sounding package for what it is however hands free quality is dreadful and we’ve tested this using FaceTime and IOS devices obviously, the JBL is at the bottom of the pile. Next Tom bought some Key Muo speakers - hope I got the spelling right - for around $300 US I believe. These speakers have a very nice sound but lack a little bass, incredibly portable at less than 4 inches high each. You will need two of these if you want a stereo pair. Those who know Kef speakers will appreciate the Uni-Cue drivers - one driver with the woofer making up the driver with a small tweeter in the centre, this arrangement seems to disperse sound around a room more evenly without a sweet spot, the Key Egg system I have uses such an arrangement though on a larger scale. Unfortunately the Key Muo’s don’t have hands free speakerphone capability and I have no objection to that as its quality sound I’m after. Tom’s top of the range speaker at the moment in his opinion is the B&O P6 speakers and I’m trying to find a place where I may go to listen to some of these as - going by Tom’s description and from tests we’ve done with the hands free - they sound spectacular in every way. Again you’ll need a pair of these little beauties if you want stereo sound and the price isn’t cheap but quality from B&O comes at a price, $600 per speaker unit. The P6 is portable with a battery lasting for 22 hours I believe. The Hands Free is one of the best I’ve ever heard from a Bluetooth speaker. I still have my B&W T7 speaker which is nearly 3 years old. B&W are still selling this user which is a wonderful testament to the quality sound and build of the T7 in my opinion. Nothing wrong with looking around at what other company’s have to offer of course which is exactly what I’ll be doing shortly.
