JBL Charge 6 vs Anker Soundcore Boom 3i

The JBL Charge 6 and the Anker Soundcore Boom 3i are portable Bluetooth speakers that are both good for use outdoors. They share an IP68 rating and balanced sound profiles, although the larger JBL gets louder and puts out a bit more bass by default. While they both float, the Anker's design keeps your audio from sounding muffled, as its drivers always rotate to face upwards. And its Buzz Clean mode helps you clear out any dust that gets into its enclosure. The Anker can be paired with another unit for stereo playback, but if you want to pair multiple speakers, the Auracast-enabled JBL is the way to go. The Anker is best for use in and around water, while the larger JBL is better for playing audio in larger spaces, or linking up with a host of other speakers.
