Ultimate Ears EVERBOOM vs JBL Pulse 6

The Ultimate Ears EVERBOOM is a more practical choice for long outdoor trips, while the JBL Pulse 6's light show offers some added indoor versatility. The Ultimate Ears is a bit smaller and lighter, with a rugged design and an included carabiner for attaching it to your bag. It also floats in water and lasts over 21 hours on a charge, compared to the JBL's 7 hours. And unlike the JBL, the Ultimate Ears can play stereo content without downmixing to mono. That said, the JBL has a more balanced mid-range, so voices and instruments sound clearer. And in addition to its light show and ability to act as a bedside lamp, the JBL also supports Bluetooth multi-device pairing and wired USB-C audio, which the Ultimate Ears lacks.
