Score: 79/100
JBL Go 3 Pink
Score: 63/100Rankings
Anker Soundcore A3102 provides an impressive 24-hour battery life and IPX5 water resistance in a lightweight 380 g package, with stereo sound and BassUp enhancement. However, its 24-hour charging time and Micro-USB port limit convenience.
The JBL Go 3 is an ultra-portable, IP67-rated speaker with 5 h playback, solid sound for its size, and USB-C charging, but it lacks a mic, stereo pairing and longer battery life.
