Short answer: the JBL Charge 6 on measured sound quality, the Tronsmart Mirtune C3 on price. The JBL Charge 6 ranks #12 of 182 medium speakers, rated 4.2/5, at $149.95. The Tronsmart Mirtune C3 ranks #102, rated 3.1/5, at $29.99, $119.96 cheaper.
The JBL Charge 6 is the better-sounding, longer-running choice. A waterproof medium speaker with a long battery and a power bank output, with more balanced sound than older Charge models. It is rated for 24 hours of battery against 12 for the Tronsmart Mirtune C3. It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the Tronsmart Mirtune C3 lacks. The catch: Still some boosted bass by default.
The Tronsmart Mirtune C3 is the lighter pick. A small, light waterproof speaker at a budget price, with Auracast multi speaker sync, stereo pairing, USB-C audio input and app EQ. At 1.2 lbs (530 g) it weighs much less than the JBL Charge 6 at 2.2 lbs (990 g). The catch: In GiT’s three way blind test it came behind the Creative Muvo Go and Xiaomi Sound Outdoor, sounding good only on sparse tracks, and listeners in AudioPro Reviews’ comparison found the JBL Flip 6 fuller with more bass.
Buy the JBL Charge 6 if sound quality is the priority over the price, or the Tronsmart Mirtune C3 if the price is the priority over sound quality.
