Cambridge SoundWorks OontZ Angle 3 Red
Score: 73/100
JBL Go 3
Score: 70/100Rankings
The OontZ Angle 3 is an ultra-portable triangular speaker offering 10 W output, 14-hour battery life and IPX5 water resistance. Its modest SPL and limited bass depth may fall short in larger spaces. Best suited for travelers and casual listeners prioritizing size and convenience.
The JBL Go 3 is an ultra-compact speaker offering punchy bass, a built-in noise-cancelling speakerphone, and IP67 waterproof/dustproof protection. Its limited volume, short 5-hour battery and older Bluetooth 4.1 limit its use for longer or louder sessions. Ideal for travelers and casual listeners needing a pocket-sized speaker.

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”
Choose the Go 3 if you need water resistance and louder sound; stick with the original Go for ultra-compact portability and lower cost
Professional reviewers commend the JBL Go for delivering a surprisingly full-range sound with punchy bass and clear highs despite its miniature size, highlighting its value-for-money feature set that includes a speakerphone and wired input. However, they note its limited maximum volume, short 5-hour battery, and lack of any IP rating as drawbacks compared to newer JBL mini speakers.
Everyday users appreciate the big, punchy audio and the convenience of multiple colors and a strap hook, finding the 5-hour battery adequate for casual use and the speakerphone handy for calls. Common complaints revolve around the limited loudness, faster battery drain at high volumes, no water resistance, and occasional Bluetooth connectivity hiccups.
