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 that provides EQ and 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, and the manufacturer claims it's crushproof. Its overbuilt design offers niche benefits, such as tie-down bars and magnets, to keep it in place in less-than-ideal environments. Unfortunately, the lack of an app means you can't change the tuning.
