Short answer: the JBL Charge 6, if you are buying new. The JBL Charge 4 ranks higher than the Oontz Angle 3 Ultra (#59 vs #166 of 182 medium speakers) but is discontinued; its replacement, the JBL Charge 6, is rated 4.2/5 at $149.95 and is still sold new.
The JBL Charge 4 is the better-sounding, deeper-bass pick. A rugged waterproof speaker that floats, charges your phone, lasts a long time per charge and links with other JBL speakers. Its bass reaches about 54Hz before falling 10dB, against 90Hz for the Oontz Angle 3 Ultra. The tradeoff: 1 Oval driver.
The Oontz Angle 3 Ultra is the lighter choice. A cheap, very light waterproof speaker with a long battery and plenty of features for the money. At 0.9 lbs (400 g) it weighs much less than the JBL Charge 4 at 2.1 lbs (960 g). It has an adjustable EQ, which the JBL Charge 4 lacks. It plays in stereo from a single unit, unlike the JBL Charge 4. The tradeoff: Very little bass with horrible upper bass thud at higher levels.
Buy the JBL Charge 6, the replacement for the discontinued JBL Charge 4; it is rated higher for sound quality than the Oontz Angle 3 Ultra.
