Short answer: the TOZO PA1. It ranks #60 of 179 medium speakers by sound quality, rated 3.5/5, at $39.99; the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4 ranks #109, rated 2.9/5, and costs $64.99, so there is not much of a tradeoff to weigh.
The TOZO PA1 is the better-sounding, longer-running option. A budget water resistant speaker with very long battery life, app EQ and pairing with a second unit. It is rated for 25 hours of battery against 14 for the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4. It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4 lacks. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4 lacks. Watch for: Bass is limited, fading by about 52Hz.
The Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4 is the lighter pick. A small, tough waterproof speaker with a strap loop and USB-C charging, easy to clip on a bag for outdoor trips. At 0.9 lbs (420 g) it weighs noticeably less than the TOZO PA1 at 1.3 lbs (581 g). Watch for: Bass isn’t as deep as the top-ranked speakers and is a little thuddy.
Buy the TOZO PA1. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 4 and costs less, so it is the default pick unless a specific strength of the other one matters more to you.
