Short answer: the JBL Flip 6 if sound quality matters most, the Tronsmart Mirtune C3 if price matters most. The JBL Flip 6 ranks #13 of 182 medium speakers, rated 4.2/5, at $114.95. The Tronsmart Mirtune C3 ranks #102, rated 3.1/5, at $29.99, $84.96 cheaper.
The JBL Flip 6 is the better-sounding option. A small, rugged speaker with very neutral sound for its size, an excellent choice for most people. It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the Tronsmart Mirtune C3 lacks. Watch for: Some slight upper mids emphasis.
The case for the Tronsmart Mirtune C3: A small, light waterproof speaker at a budget price, with Auracast multi speaker sync, stereo pairing, USB-C audio input and app EQ. Watch for: 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 Flip 6 when sound quality outweighs the price for you, and the Tronsmart Mirtune C3 when the price outweighs sound quality instead.
