Score: 84/100
Klipsch Nashville
Score: 83/100Rankings
The OontZ Angle 3 Pro is a powerful, IPX7-rated Bluetooth speaker delivering 21 W of sound with app-controlled EQ and a 15-hour battery. Its downsides are its weight and size, plus occasional connectivity hiccups at longer range. Ideal for outdoor parties where volume and durability outweigh the need for ultra-light portability.
The Klipsch Nashville provides 360° sound, 20 W amplification and 24 hour battery life with reverse-charging and a companion app for EQ tweaks. Audio distortion at higher volumes and the absence of wired inputs may deter power users. It excels for parties and outdoor gatherings where immersive sound and multi-speaker sync are valued.

Professional reviewers commend the OontZ Angle 3 Pro for its substantial power increase, larger drivers, and robust IPX7 waterproofing, noting that the DSP delivers distortion-free volume even at maximum levels.
Everyday users consistently praise the speaker's booming bass, loud volume, and durable waterproof design, especially for pool parties, beach outings, and boat trips. The long battery life and easy pairing are also frequent positives, while weight, occasional connectivity hiccups, and bass dominance at high volumes are the most common criticisms.
“crystal clear sound”
Professional reviewers commend the Nashville for its punchy, rich sound and expansive 360° soundstage that fills small rooms at modest volume levels. The 20-watt amp, dual drivers and passive radiators are praised for delivering big, room-filling audio from a handheld form factor, while the seamless multi-speaker modes-including stereo pairing and Broadcast Mode for up to ten units-receive strong approval. However, critics note that the speaker starts to distort when pushed beyond 50-60 % volume and that its soundstage loses impact at very close listening distances, and they point out the lack of on-device controls and wired inputs.
Everyday users consistently highlight the Nashville's impressive sound quality, powerful bass, and 360° coverage that surpasses expectations for its size. The long-lasting battery, reverse-charging capability, and Broadcast Mode are frequently mentioned as party-friendly features. Common complaints revolve around the flashing LED during initial charging, the absence of memory-card or USB playback options, and the need to control playback from a paired device due to missing on-speaker controls.
