Cambridge Soundworks OontZ Angle 3
Score: 74/100
Doss SoundBox
Score: 48/100Rankings
The OontZ Angle 3 delivers loud, clear audio with a marathon-long 30-hour battery in a compact, IPX5-rated package. It supports stereo pairing but lacks an aux input and uses an older Micro-USB charger.
The DOSS SoundBox Touch offers solid sound and useful connectivity in a compact, budget-friendly package, but its battery life falls short of claims and the micro-USB port is prone to breakage.

Professional reviewers note a clear evolution from the original Angle to the Angle 3 Plus, highlighting its impressive loudness, clarity and bass handling for a sub-$40 speaker, the addition of DSP protection, extended 30-hour battery life and IPX5 rating. They also point out legacy issues such as the outdated Mini-USB port, a bright LED and a plastic build that feels utilitarian rather than premium.
Everyday users overwhelmingly praise the OontZ Angle 3 for its big-room sound, waterproof convenience and marathon-long battery, often calling it a hidden gem and a great gift. Recurring complaints focus on the lack of an aux input, occasional pairing hiccups, cheap-feel plastic, absence of EQ/app controls and an always-on LED that can be distracting at night.
“Great bass for the price”
“Perfect for travel and parties”
“Micro USB port breaks easily”
Professional reviewers commend the SoundBox Touch for delivering audio performance that rivals speakers twice its price, highlighting its robust bass, clear mids, and innovative touch interface. They also appreciate the IPX5 rating and the inclusion of aux and Micro SD inputs, which are uncommon at this price point. However, they criticize the overstated battery claim, the fragile micro-USB port, the unavoidable voice prompts, and the lack of dust protection.
Everyday users love the speaker's powerful bass, compact portability, and easy connectivity, often comparing it favorably to much more expensive brands. Recurring complaints focus on the easily broken charging port, loud voice alerts, shorter-than-advertised battery life, and the scratch-prone touch surface.
