THE DECISION

What matters for this pair

Think about how you will carry the speaker and whether you need compatible multi-speaker pairing or a bass control. Compare JBL's standard battery claim with Sony's, not JBL's separate boost mode.

BEFORE BUYING

Check this carefully

A bass button does not establish better sound quality. Check the protection and port-cover instructions for outdoor use.
