Cambridge SoundWorks OontZ Ultra
Score: 83/100
Soundcore Select 4 Go
Score: 72/100Rankings
The OontZ Ultra delivers 14 W of sound, 20-hour battery life and IPX7 waterproofing with true wireless stereo capability. Android latency and distortion at max volume are notable drawbacks. Perfect for users seeking a compact, waterproof speaker with long playtime and TWS 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.
