Cambridge SoundWorks OontZ Angle 3 Red
Score: 73/100
Soundcore Select 4 Go
Score: 72/100Rankings
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 Soundcore Select 4 Go is an ultra-portable, IP67-rated shower speaker with 20 hours of playtime and a 30 m Bluetooth range, featuring a 9-band EQ via the app. Its limited 5 W output means it won't fill large spaces, and it lacks a wall charger. Great for solo swimmers, hikers, and on-the-go listening.

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”
“Ideal for solo swimming or showers”
Professional reviewers consider the Soundcore Select 4 Go a best-budget portable speaker, praising its punchy, clear sound, strong bass for a 5 W driver, and the flexibility of a 9-band EQ app. The IP67 rating and floatable design earn high marks, as does the seamless Bluetooth 5.3 and TWS pairing. The main criticism from editors is the limited maximum volume, which makes it unsuitable for larger gatherings, and the omission of a wall charger.
Everyday users love the long 20-hour battery, the surprising bass and clarity for such a small device, and the rugged waterproof, floatable build that survives showers and pools. Common praise centers on portability, easy TWS pairing, and the customizable EQ. Recurring complaints focus on low maximum volume, occasional Bluetooth connectivity hiccups, and the missing wall charger.
