Ultimate Ears WONDERBOOM 3 vs Anker Soundcore Boom 2

The Ultimate Ears WONDERBOOM 3 is a better portable speaker for most uses than the Anker Soundcore Boom 2. It's better built, lighter, and more portable than the Anker, although it lacks a built-in carrying handle. There's less bass on tap with the Ultimate Ears, but it has a more detailed treble reproduction, and its directivity is much better, thanks to its cylindrical design. While it can't get quite as loud as the Anker, there's significantly less compression at max volume. That said, the Anker has better physical controls and a slightly longer battery life, and you can adjust the sound via a graphic EQ and presets in the companion app.
