JBL Charge 5
Turtlebox Ranger
The JBL Charge 7 is a more flexible speaker than the Turtlebox Ranger. It's tuned to sound flatter, and its a companion app delivers optional EQ. You also can listen via USB audio input. Its battery life is a roughly three hours longer, too. Both speakers share an IP67 rating. That said, the Turtlebox's IP67 rating is according to the manufacturer crushproof. Its chunky design offers specialized features such as tie-down bars and magnets for outdoorsy spaces. The absence of an app results in a one-and-down frequency response which is a bit boomier.
