Short answer: the Fugoo Sport for a neutral, app-free sound, the JBL Charge 6 for EQ headroom. The Sport is neutral with only a slight upper mids peak, but its battery falls short of the original Fugoo’s 40 hours at around 10 hours, it lacks an app and its Bluetooth can be unstable. The Charge 6 improves with the Joy/Oluv EQ and the lowest bass slider down; by default it is V-shaped with boosted bass, recessed mids and brightness above 2kHz.
The JBL Charge 6 earns points for: It sounds more neutral than the Charge 5 with a flatter response through the mids and treble, and gets even better with the Joy/Oluv EQ applied and the lowest bass slider turned down. But: by default it still has some boosted bass, recessed mids, and brightness above 2kHz for a fairly V-shaped frequency response.
The Fugoo Sport’s strengths: It has a pretty neutral sound with only a slight peak in the upper mids. The tradeoff: its battery life falls well short of the original Fugoo’s 40 hours at around 10 hours, it lacks a companion app for EQ or control, and the Bluetooth connection can be a bit unstable.
Buy the JBL Charge 6. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the Fugoo Sport is discontinued, so it is only available used.
