JBL Charge 6
Turtlebox Ranger
The JBL Charge 6 is a more versatile speaker than the Turtlebox Ranger. It sounds flatter, with a somewhat more neutral tuning and a companion app supplying the added flexibility of EQ along with optional USB audio input. Its battery life is a little longer, too. Both speakers are water and dustproof, but the JBL has a slightly higher IP68 rating. That said, the Turtlebox's IP67 rating is very good too, and, according to the manufacturer, it's crushproof. Its overbuilt design offers niche benefits like tie-down bars and magnets for keeping it in place in less-than-ideal environments. Unfortunately, the lack of an app means you can't change the tuning.
