Short answer: the Bogasing G4 for sound and battery, the JBL Go 3 for size. At 0.5 lbs (209 g) the Go 3 is genuinely pocket-sized and costs $35.95 against the G4’s $42.49, but it has not much bass at all and a strange mids peak. The G4 offers clear sound with punchy bass, an exceptional 24 hour battery and IPX7 waterproofing, though its boosted treble is wavy up top.
Buy the Bogasing G4 at $42.49 if you want a medium speaker. Buy the JBL Go 3 at $35.95 if you want a small speaker instead.
