Our Verdict

JBL Go 4

Anker Soundcore Select 2S

The JBL Go 4 and the Anker Soundcore Select 2S are both good options if you're looking for a portable speaker on a budget. While the JBL has greater portability and a more rugged build quality going for it, its battery life is considerably shorter than the Anker's, and it outputs even less bass. Both speakers feature sound customization options via their respective companion apps, though this won't help you overcome sound limitations that stem from their design.
