Soundcore Anker 3
Score: 82/100
Tribit XSound Go Red
Score: 85/100Rankings
The Tribit XSound Go (Red) offers 16 W of sound, a 24-hour battery, and app-controlled EQ for customizable audio. However, its bass depth is modest and real-world battery performance can be lower than the advertised claim. Ideal for users wanting a waterproof speaker with customizable sound on a budget.
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.
