Short answer: the Turtlebox Ranger for a smoother response, the Huawei Sound Joy for EQ-tuned sound. The Ranger’s frequency response is smoother than the other Turtlebox speakers, but its bass sounds kind of thuddy and is not as deep as higher ranked speakers. The Huawei needs Devialet and a +6db EQ to sound its best, and it is very expensive. The Huawei Sound Joy is discontinued; its replacement is the Huawei Sound Joy 2.
Buy the Turtlebox Ranger, since the Huawei Sound Joy is discontinued and only worth hunting down used.
Still deciding? The full Portable Bluetooth rankings cover every ranked option.
A waterproof speaker with a separate tweeter, long battery life and good loudness, with a Devialet mode for its best sound.
A very tough outdoor speaker with built in magnets for mounting it on metal surfaces.
