EarFun UBOOM X vs JBL Flip 7

Though similarly priced, the EarFun UBOOM X and the JBL Flip 7 serve different use cases. The EarFun is a fairly chunky, boombox-style speaker. Its built-in handle makes it portable enough to carry in one hand, but it's not something you can easily toss in a bag like the JBL. That size difference affects how the speakers perform, too. The EarFun gets much louder and has a much longer battery life. On the other hand, the JBL's IP68 rating beats the EarFun's IP67, and it supports Bluetooth multipoint. It comes down to use case: if you need to pump up the jams by the hockey rink, the EarFun is the way to go, and if you need a nimble, versatile friend to accompany you on your travels, choose the JBL.
