Anker Soundcore A3102
Score: 73/100
EWA A106 Pro
Score: 61/100Rankings
The Anker Soundcore A3102 offers marathon-long 24 hour playback, IPX5 water resistance and clear stereo sound at a budget price. Its slow 24-hour charge time and reliance on a micro-USB port keep it from competing with faster-charging rivals.
The EWA A106 Pro is a palm-sized, IP67-rated Bluetooth speaker with strong bass for its size, lightweight design and a travel case. It offers up to 12 h playback at moderate volume but lacks a microphone, aux input and can be quiet at high volume.
