Short answer: the JBL Flip 6. It ranks #13 of 177 medium speakers by sound quality, rated 4.2/5, at $79.95. The Bogasing G4 ranks #27, rated 4.0/5, at $42.49, $37.46 cheaper, a saving that is not big enough to make up the sound-quality gap.
The JBL Flip 6 is the lighter choice. A small, rugged speaker with very neutral sound for its size, an excellent choice for most people. At 1.2 lbs (544 g) it weighs noticeably less than the Bogasing G4 at 1.8 lbs (830 g). It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the Bogasing G4 lacks. It links with other speakers (PartyBoost up to 100 speakers), which the Bogasing G4 cannot. The catch: Some slight upper mids emphasis.
The Bogasing G4 is the longer-running choice. A light, affordable waterproof speaker with surprisingly strong bass for its size, solid loudness, long battery life and stereo pairing. It is rated for 24 hours of battery against 12 for the JBL Flip 6. It keeps a wired aux input, which the JBL Flip 6 lacks. It plays in stereo from a single unit, unlike the JBL Flip 6. The catch: The upper treble is boosted and uneven, while the mids sit slightly behind the bass and highs, so it is not a neutral choice for vocal-focused music.
Buy the JBL Flip 6. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $37.46 with the Bogasing G4 does not make up for the sound-quality gap.
