Short answer: the JBL Charge 6 for the higher ranking, the Bogasing M4 for the lower price. The JBL Charge 6 ranks #11 of 134 medium speakers at $149.95. The Bogasing M4 ranks #24 at $45.99, $103.96 cheaper.
On the Bogasing M4 side: Use super bass mode for the most balanced sound. Set against that: A bit harsh and thin sounding.
The case for the JBL Charge 6: Seems more neutral than the Charge 5. Flatter frequency response through the mids and treble as the Charge 5 was quite rolled off up high. The catch: Still some boosted bass by default.
Buy the Bogasing M4 if the price matters more than the ranking. Buy the JBL Charge 6 if the ranking matters more than the price.

JBL Charge 6: $149.95 Amazon Bhphotovideo
Pros: Seems more neutral than the Charge 5. Flatter frequency response through the mids and treble as the Charge 5 was quite rolled off up high. Use this EQ from Joy/Oluv and turn down the lowest bass slider for the best sound quality. Oluv has even more paid EQs specifically for the GG and TL models indoors and outdoors here
Cons: Still some boosted bass by default. Mids are recessed. Bright above 2khz. Quite a V shaped frequency response.
