Our Verdict

OontZ Angle 3 ULTRA

JBL Go 3

The OontZ Angle 3 ULTRA and the JBL Go 3 have different strengths, and you may prefer one over the other. The OontZ can play stereo content, and it can get louder. It also has a longer-lasting battery life, and it supports voice assistants. Its companion app allows you to customize its sound to your liking via the bass and treble sliders too. However, the JBL has a more neutral sound profile, feels better-built, and has lower latency on iOS and Android, although some apps and devices compensate for this differently.
