SOUNDBOKS (Gen. 3) vs ION Pathfinder 280

Depending on your listening habits, you may prefer either the SOUNDBOKS (Gen. 3) or the ION Pathfinder 280. With its default settings enabled, the SOUNDBOKS can produce a deep, thumpy, and rumbling low bass. It can get louder than the ION and features two XLR ports to connect an external microphone, guitar, DJ mixer, or other instruments to the speaker. The ION is smaller and more portable thanks to its built-in telescopic handle and wheels. It also has less compression present at max volume, resulting in cleaner audio at louder volume levels, and has better directivity, resulting in a more natural-sounding soundstage.
