Cambridge SoundWorks OontZ Angle 3 White
Score: 81/100
Soundcore Select 4 Go
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 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.
