Quick takes on side-by-side spec battles.
Pick
JBL Junior 470NC
JBL JR 460NC vs JBL Junior 470NC
The battery life on the Junior 470NC is crazy good with 50 hours while the 460NC only offers 20 hours so for longer usage this definitely wins.
Pick
Sonos Roam 2
Amazon Echo vs Sonos Roam 2
I appreciate Sonos Roam 2's rugged build with protective bumpers which is absent in the Amazon Echo.
Pick
Denon Home 350
JBL Authentics 500 vs Denon Home 350
Charging times count a lot to me and Denon's 2.5 hour is just more convenient for my busy days
Pick
Austrian Audio OC818
Austrian Audio OC818 vs AKG C414 XLII
It's great that both support external power but the OC818 having this explicitly stated assures me of more power options so I lean toward it here.
