Short answer: the JBL Flip 6. It ranks #13 of 182 medium speakers by sound quality, rated 4.2/5, at $114.95. The Tronsmart Mirtune C3 Plus ranks #84, rated 3.3/5, at $49.99, $64.96 cheaper, not enough of a saving to outweigh the sound-quality gap.
The JBL Flip 6 is the better-sounding, lighter option. 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 Tronsmart Mirtune C3 Plus at 1.8 lbs (810 g). It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the Tronsmart Mirtune C3 Plus lacks. The catch: Some slight upper mids emphasis.
Why pick the Tronsmart Mirtune C3 Plus: An affordable waterproof speaker with a separate tweeter, app EQ, Auracast linking, stereo pairing and USB-C audio input. The catch: In side by side tests by Clinch Audio Bass and Mateusz Cholewa, the Xiaomi Sound Party and Soundcore Boom 3i sounded more refined and fuller, and listeners described the C3 Plus’s treble as dull.
Buy the JBL Flip 6. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $64.96 with the Tronsmart Mirtune C3 Plus does not make up for the sound-quality gap.
