JBL Go 3 Blue
Score: 70/100
Cambridge Soundworks OontZ Angle 3
Score: 73/100Rankings
The OontZ Angle 3 Ultra delivers long playtime, robust waterproofing and solid sound, with the added benefit of dual-pairing for stereo, though it lacks an app and has an always-on LED.
The JBL Go 3 is a tiny, fabric-wrapped speaker that offers JBL's signature sound and IP67 protection in a pocket-sized form factor. Its modest 5-hour battery and limited bass keep it best suited for casual, low-volume listening rather than bass-heavy music.

Professional reviewers commend the Angle 3 Ultra for its solid value, long battery life, and robust Bluetooth range, noting the crystal-clear stereo output and zero distortion even at high volumes. However, they point out legacy issues such as a bright front LED and the absence of a dedicated app for fine-tuning audio.
Everyday users overwhelmingly praise the speaker's loud, clear sound, all-day battery, and IPX7 waterproofing, especially for shower and outdoor use. The dual-pairing feature is celebrated for creating true stereo, though many find the pairing process unintuitive.
“Loud and clear sound for its size”
