DOSS SoundBox Touch
Score: 77/100
Soundcore Select 4 Go
Score: 72/100Rankings
The DOSS SoundBox Touch offers 12 W stereo sound, enriched bass and up to 20 hours of playback in a splash-proof, touch-controlled package. Bluetooth 4.0 can introduce noticeable latency and the plastic build lacks ruggedness. Ideal for budget-conscious listeners seeking long playtime and versatile inputs.
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.

Professional reviewers commend the DOSS SoundBox Touch for its solid 12W stereo output, impressive bass punch for its size, low distortion audio, and reliable 20-hour battery life, positioning it as a high-value budget speaker.

Common complaints revolve around Bluetooth lag during video playback, insufficient bass for heavy-bass genres, a fragile plastic chassis, and the outdated Micro-USB charging port.

Professional reviewers consider the Soundcore Select 4 Go a best-budget portable speaker, praising its punchy, clear sound, strong bass for a 5 W driver, and the flexibility of a 9-band EQ app. The IP67 rating and floatable design earn high marks, as does the seamless Bluetooth 5.3 and TWS pairing. The main criticism from editors is the limited maximum volume, which makes it unsuitable for larger gatherings, and the omission of a wall charger.

Common praise centers on portability, easy TWS pairing, and the customizable EQ.
