Ultimate Ears WONDERBOOM 3 vs Sony SRS-XB100

The Sony SRS-XB100 and the Ultimate Ears WONDERBOOM 3 are both portable speakers designed for on-the-go use. However, the Ultimate Ears model has the edge over the Sony for most uses. While the two have a similarly balanced sound profile (though both struggle to reproduce low bass), the Ultimate Ears speaker can get louder and has better directivity, so audio sounds consistent from different angles around the speaker. The Ultimate Ears also has a better build quality and features multi-device pairing. That said, the Sony has voice assistant compatibility, although this isn't built-in, so you'll need to use a device that features a voice assistant. The Sony also has companion app compatibility, so you can view your connected devices and power the speaker down from your phone.
