Doss SoundBox Touch
Score: 76/100
Soundcore Anker 3
Score: 82/100Rankings

The Soundcore Anker 3 is an ultra-light, IPX7-rated Bluetooth speaker offering 24 hours of playback and modern features like PartyCast and app-based EQ. Its low maximum SPL and limited bass depth make it less suitable for large gatherings or audiophile listening. Best for solo travelers, hikers, and beachgoers who need a compact, waterproof speaker with long battery life.

The DOSS SoundBox Touch provides 12 W stereo sound, IPX5 water resistance and up to 20 hours of battery life with touch controls and multiple input options. Its older Bluetooth version can cause latency and its power is lower than premium models. Great for budget-conscious users seeking versatile indoor/outdoor use.
