Professional reviewers commend the OontZ Angle 3 for its outstanding portability, solid dynamics, low distortion, and generous 14-hour battery life, especially noting the 4th-generation upgrades like dual stereo mode and Bluetooth 5.0. However, they criticize its modest max SPL, limited low-frequency extension, and only IPX5 water resistance, suggesting it's best for personal, on-the-go listening rather than large-room or high-bass applications.
Everyday users repeatedly praise the speaker's tiny size, easy one-hand carry, surprising loudness and bass for its dimensions, long battery life, and water-resistant capability, often stating it outperforms pricier JBL models in casual use. Common complaints focus on insufficient deep bass, occasional Bluetooth dropouts at longer distances, and the inability to fill larger rooms with volume.
“better than cheap JBLs (louder, better sound, longer battery than JBL Clip 3/Go 2)”
“outperforms pricier JBLs in casual use”
Professional commentary emphasizes that the Clip 5 packs a surprising amount of power and bass for its size, thanks to its 7 W RMS output and upgraded Bluetooth 5.3. However, reviewers also point out audio shortcomings such as thin mids, limited bass depth, and the lack of any equalizer or stereo-pairing options, positioning the speaker as a solid portable option but not a high-fidelity solution.
