Short answer: the Bogasing G4 on price and battery. At $42.49 against the JBL Charge 5 Wifi’s $139.95, it gives clear sound with punchy bass, an exceptional 24 hour battery, IPX7 waterproofing and multiple sound modes, though its boosted treble is wavy up top. The JBL’s advantage is Wifi, but it is not stereo.
Buy the Bogasing G4. Both are rated the same for sound quality, and it costs $97.46 less than the JBL Charge 5 Wifi.
