Short answer: the JBL Flip 7. It ranks #15 of 182 medium speakers by sound quality, rated 4.2/5, at $149.95. The Tronsmart Mirtune C3 Plus ranks #84, rated 3.3/5, at $49.99, $99.96 cheaper, a saving that is not big enough to make up the sound-quality gap.
The JBL Flip 7 is the better-sounding, lighter pick. A small, very neutral speaker with slightly deeper bass than before, a tougher waterproof build, and an app EQ. At 1.2 lbs (560 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: A little bit of a bump at 4kHz, not quite as neutral as the JBL Flip 6.
What the Tronsmart Mirtune C3 Plus does well: An affordable waterproof speaker with a separate tweeter, app EQ, Auracast linking, stereo pairing and USB-C audio input. The tradeoff: 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 7. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $99.96 saving on the Tronsmart Mirtune C3 Plus is not enough to make up the difference.
