Features of The OontZ Angle 3 and Anker Soundcore BT speakers

• Chemistry with Echo Dot

  The OontZ Angle 3 and Anker Soundcore Speaker works great with the Echo dot, it connects in just seconds and sounds excellent. Both connects easily over Bluetooth using the Alexa app and sounds excellent.
  Google Home does not support connecting to speakers over Bluetooth so you can’t connect speakers using bluetoth. Both speakers can pair with multiple devices but  play one speaker to one Source Device at a time.

• Answering the Phone-calls

  Say you are playing music wirelessly over Bluetooth from your Android smarthphone or iPhone and you receive an incoming call, after picking up,  the music will pause automatically and will resume after the call is ended .

• Charging

  With the help of Micro USB Charging Port you can easily charge or connect to your laptop with usb cable. Charging stops automatically when it’s fully charged. There’s a light indicator that shows the battery is dying. The good thing about these cheap bluetooth speakers is you can use it while Charging but remember every  idle charger consumes power of approx 4 to 10 watts, so as a nature lover I would like to suggest buyers to put off AC charging when not in use.

• Music Control

  With both Anker soundcore and Cambridge soundworks oontz angle 3 it is very simple to control the music, simply use your phone’s mute button to mute the speaker, and skip songs from your phone app only.

• Auto-Shut-OFF

  I love this feature which saves my valuable battery pack on the go, in case i forgot to switch off the speaker, it automatically shuts-down after 10 mins of inactive time .

• BT Range & Connectivity

  Although Bluetooth connectivity of both budget bluetooth speakers is very good. About Bluetooth 4.0  people claim it to be till 60 feet. If you are using it indoor with hurdles of solid walls or furniture, many times the BT signal gets interrupted, in fact my observation is that even human interference cause signal to break in between. So surely you get best range in wide-open area, but less with interference making BT signal weak. Anker soundcore pairing is very easy just Press and Hold down the Bluetooth button for 3 to 5 seconds and it will connect to your Iphone or Android smartphone easily.

• Sound Quality
  

  When you When compared, these bluetooth speakers with their sound quality Anker soundcore comes with  dual high-performance speakers and a unique spiral bass port which gives you Superior Sound Quality and Oontz angle 10 watts speakers gives you surprisingly loud volume. As per the OontZ speakers manual they are not equipped with drivers. If your computer is asking for drivers, it may be that you have to download the latest driver for your specific computer its available on Internet.

Final words

Every speaker will have its company owned signature sound, the same is true for Anker Soundcore & OontZ Angle 3 by Cambridge Soundworks, you may be already fan of one of them due to sound quality. But other things like powerful battery backup during outdoor use are also important. In that case the Anker Soundcore beats OontZ Angle 3 ! It provides 24 hours of battery backup.
But you also may not forget that OontZ Angle 3 is completely American product 🙂 this can also be one of the deciding factor for you !!

Anyway enjoy your weekends !!
