Short answer: the JBL Xtreme 3. It ranks #18 of 126 large speakers by sound quality, rated 4.3/5, at $269.95; the Morel Biggie ranks #46, rated 3.8/5, and costs $299, which makes this an easy call rather than a real tradeoff.
The Morel Biggie is the longer-running choice. A solidly built, award winning two way portable with a spacious soundstage, many colors, fast charging and phone charging. It is rated for 20 hours of battery against 15 for the JBL Xtreme 3. It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the JBL Xtreme 3 lacks. The tradeoff: No independent measurements have been published, and reviews disagree: TechRadar scored it 2.5/5, found the bass boomy enough to mask detail even with its dynamic EQ, heard distortion at high volume and named the Audio Pro C20 and Sonos Era 100 as better sounding, while HomeTheaterReview rated it Highly Recommended.
The JBL Xtreme 3 is the better-sounding, lighter option. A loud, waterproof stereo speaker with deep bass, balanced sound and a power bank for charging devices. At 4 lbs (1.83 kg) it weighs noticeably less than the Morel Biggie at 5.7 lbs (2.6 kg). It plays in stereo from a single unit, unlike the Morel Biggie. Watch for: Boosted bass.
Buy the JBL Xtreme 3. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Morel Biggie and costs less, so it is the default pick unless a specific strength of the other one matters more to you.
