The Comparison
The contenders.
01
JBL Charge
The pool, sand, and salt veteran.
02
Bose SoundLink Flex
Cleaner top end, less low-end warmth.
03
Sonos Roam
Better at home, less rugged abroad.
In Favour
- IP67 waterproof and drop-proof construction
- Real low-end warmth for outdoor listening
- Doubles as a phone power bank in a pinch
- Long battery life across a full evening
Worth Knowing
- Heavier than smaller alternatives
- Bass-forward tuning isn't for everyone
