Short answer: the JBL Flip 7 on measured sound quality, the Tronsmart Mirtune C3 on price. The JBL Flip 7 ranks #15 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 Flip 7 is the better-sounding option. A small, very neutral speaker with slightly deeper bass than before, a tougher waterproof build, and an app EQ. It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the Tronsmart Mirtune C3 lacks. Watch for: A little bit of a bump at 4kHz, not quite as neutral as the JBL Flip 6.
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. The tradeoff: 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 7 when sound quality outweighs the price for you, and the Tronsmart Mirtune C3 when the price outweighs sound quality instead.
