Short answer: the Marshall Emberton III for better sound quality, the Oontz Angle 3 for the lower price, though neither ranks well in its class. The Marshall Emberton III ranks #128 of 182 medium speakers, rated 2.7/5, at $179.99. The Oontz Angle 3 ranks #177, rated 2.1/5, at $19.98, $160.01 cheaper. Both are rated below 3.0/5 among the 182 medium speakers, and the EarFun Uboom L, ranked #2 at $49.79, is a better place to start if sound quality matters.
The Marshall Emberton III is the better-sounding, deeper-bass choice. A tough waterproof speaker with Marshall styling and a very long battery, plus quick charging. Its bass reaches about 62Hz before falling 10dB, against 138Hz for the Oontz Angle 3. It is rated for 32 hours of battery against 14 for the Oontz Angle 3. It is rated IP67 against IPX5 for the Oontz Angle 3. The catch: Strange unnatural echo-like sound coloration, bass not as deep as competitors.
What the Oontz Angle 3 does well: A very cheap splash resistant speaker with an aux input for casual use around the house. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Marshall Emberton III lacks.
Buy the Marshall Emberton III if sound quality is the priority over the price, or the Oontz Angle 3 if the price is the priority over sound quality.
