Anker Soundcore 3
JBL Flip 6
The JBL Flip 6 is slightly better than the Anker Soundcore 3, though they have different strengths. The JBL's default sound profile is better balanced and exhibits better directivity, resulting in a more consistent sound across listening angles. It's better built, with an IP67 rating for dust and water resistance, certifying it as both dust-tight and submersible to a depth of 1 meter for 30 minutes. However, the Anker can play stereo content without downmixing it to mono and can get a little louder with less compression. It also supports voice assistants through your smartphone, though its performance isn't very good.
