Short answer: the Tronsmart Mirtune C3 Plus. Both are rated 3.3/5 for sound quality (#84 and #83 of 182 medium speakers), and the Tronsmart Mirtune C3 Plus costs $49.99 against $87.95 for the Klipsch Nashville, and with sound quality even, the cheaper one is the better buy.
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. Watch for: 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.
The Klipsch Nashville is the longer-running pick. A rugged, rubber coated waterproof speaker with long battery life and fast charging that can also charge your phone. It is rated for 24 hours of battery against 12 for the Tronsmart Mirtune C3 Plus. Watch for: Upper bass boost.
Buy the Tronsmart Mirtune C3 Plus. Both are rated the same for sound quality, and it costs $37.96 less than the Klipsch Nashville.
