Short answer: the JBL Charge 6 for the higher ranking, the Miatone Boompro for the lower price. The JBL Charge 6 ranks #11 of 134 medium speakers at $149.95. The Miatone Boompro ranks #15 at $35.99, $113.96 cheaper.
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.
What the Miatone Boompro gets right: Exactly the same as the Wisetiger P3 below. Set against that: Slightly less bass extension than higher ranked speakers.
Buy the JBL Charge 6 if the ranking matters more than the price. Buy the Miatone Boompro if the price matters more than the ranking.

The Two Speakers In Full
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.

Pros: Exactly the same as the Wisetiger P3 below. By far the best sounding speaker under $50. Actually very well balanced. Very balanced even at full volume. Short press the power button to change the lighting mode.
Cons: Slightly less bass extension than higher ranked speakers.
