Short answer: the JBL Charge 6 for a neutral default, the TOZO PA1 for cheap deep bass. The PA1 gets its flattest response in the bass model and has pretty deep bass for the money, but it peaks in the upper mids and low treble and has a big upper treble peak. The Charge 6 is more neutral than the Charge 5 with EQ tweaks available, though its bass is boosted by default, its mids are recessed and it is bright above 2kHz.
Buy the JBL Charge 6 if sound quality is the priority over the price, or the TOZO PA1 if the price is the priority over sound quality.
