Cambridge SoundWorks OontZ Angle 3 White
Score: 81/100
JBL Clip 4
Score: 72/100Rankings
The OontZ Angle 3 is a compact, triangular speaker delivering 12 W of clear, bass-rich audio with up to 24 hours of battery life and a 100-foot Bluetooth range. Its drawbacks include a slow 14-hour charge time and the use of a Micro-USB port rather than USB-C. It is ideal for budget-conscious users who need a lightweight, durable speaker for outdoor activities and want stereo pairing.
The JBL Clip 4 is an ultra-portable speaker with a built-in carabiner, IP67 protection, and a built-in mic, providing up to 10 hours of playtime in a lightweight 240 g package. Its modest 5 W output and limited bass restrict it to personal listening. Perfect for travelers and commuters needing a clip-on speaker.

Professional reviewers praise the OontZ Angle 3 for its loud, clear audio, impressive 24-hour battery life, and long 100-foot Bluetooth range, noting it outperforms similarly priced JBL models. They also highlight the stereo-pairing capability as a strong differentiator, while criticizing the slow 14-hour charge time and the outdated Micro-USB port.
Everyday users consistently commend the speaker's portability, all-day battery life, and surprisingly robust sound, especially for outdoor and beach settings. Common complaints revolve around the lengthy charging time, occasional Bluetooth dropouts at distance, and a desire for deeper bass and a modern USB-C charger.
“better than cheap JBLs”
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.
