POWERFUL little speaker! I'm not an audiophile. I can't tell you about bass, treble, and all that jazz. I can tell you it turns on and off quickly, is lightweight, takes up very little space, gets VERY loud and is a lot of fun for me! (And I hope it lasts awhile!)

I took off one star because of the buttons we press. One, you have to press REALLY REALLY hard. Next, if you are trying to raise or lower the volume, the SAME buttons are used to advance or go back when listening to music. So it's tricky. I was merely trying to increase the volume to YouTube music and kept advancing to next song. Urgh.

AND I won't take off stars, but DARN IT, why make it ONLY FOR RIGHT HANDED PPL??

I've been listening for days, since I got it. I didn't realize I pointed the speaker away from me! Since I saw the power button on one side, in our faces, and the volume/song selection controls on my left, I was fine. Today I realized, oops, I've been using it backwards.

So now I have to TURN it around to access the buttons, then TURN IT around again for the speaker. Or not bother because it's loud enough. BUT I must remember that so I don't have it facing OUTSIDE my apt. I don't want to bother my neighbors.

I spend a lot of time in the kitchen. I constantly make green blended drinks, cook rice and grains from scratch, hand wash and dry my dishes, etc so I'm in the kitchen a lot. Will be really great when I fold laundry on my bed or other tasks in my back rooms.

I am also a BIG news addict. My phone cuts out when I listen to the news.

I love music. REALLY love it. It's my life. I am the most published early punk rock photographer on the west coast. I love Broadway and classical too.

I carry this around walking from room to room. I hold it up to my ear if I want to hear something while my blender is going. Now I can do far more while listening to the news! Don't have to wait for commercial break.

Having this small footprint, lightweight speaker is a dream come true!

WHY didn't I do this years ago?

I spent a lot of money for a long USB cord and speaker wires (bought 3 because I couldn't buy just one) and a pair of so-so wired speakers I can't even turn off. I didn't realize I could use Bluetooth on my computer. I'm a computer wiz, and I missed that. Oh well ... better late than never!

Let me preface this review by saying, I was provided a free sample for testing and review. I explained to the manufacturer that I would provide an honest review of this product. All experiences with this product and all opinions are solely my own.

I purchased the prior generation of this speaker, the OontZ Angle Plus, so I'll be able to compare them. The Plus has crystal clear sound and good bass. I really enjoyed the Plus, but where the Plus needed some improvement was with its volume and bass.

The new OontZ Angle3 significantly increases the volume and bass, but more importantly it retains and improves upon the crisp and crystal clear sound of its predecessor, plus it adds an ingenious bass design. More on that later.

What's included in the package:

1 - OontZ Angle3 Speaker
1 - Micro USB Cable
1 - 3.5mm Audio Cable
1 - Quick Start Guide

The OontZ Angle3 is a great sounding Bluetooth speaker, in a small compact package. It weighs in at about 9 ounces. It is 5 1/4 inches long and about 2 1/2 inches high. It will basically fit in the palm of your hand. Please refer to the pictures I posted. It also retains the angular design of its predecessor, but now has a silicone rubber type finish on both ends of the speaker. It's still void of any sharp edges. It's a great looking speaker, with a unique design. I like this Angle3 design better than the Plus.

It's significantly louder than the Plus and has nice bass, for a unit that's this small. If you enjoy music that has some bass, this unit should meet your needs and be truthful, the sound that comes out of this speaker is mind boggling to me and the size of this speaker belies that fact!

The passive radiator, which produces the bass in the Angle3 and most Bluetooth speakers, is located on the bottom of the unit. If you place it bottom down, the bass effect is more pronounced. If you want a little less bass, you'll stand it on end. When it's bottom down, the bass has a nice little thump. I believe this was done by design and it's an ingenious feature.

Be careful where you place the speaker bottom down, because it does want to move when playing music with bass. The speaker has pads on the bottom, but they work better on very smooth and glass surfaces.

You can hear that Cambridge Soundworks spent the majority of its time improving and refining the sound of the Angle3. That focus on improving acoustics shows up big time in this tiny, but crystal clear and loud speaker.

There's no distortion at max volume. The speaker has 10+ watts of peak power. It's now loud enough to fill up your backyard party with clear, great sounding music. My wife heard me playing music upstairs and she was in the garage. It's plenty loud!

All my music testing was done using Spotify. Speaker was set to full volume and iOS volume was set two clicks from max, for most of my testing. I also tested both settings set to max.

Bluetooth connectivity is super easy. It connects from one device to another effortlessly. I found you don't have to press a button on the speaker to pair it with a different device. I like intuitive functions and this one fits the bill. It also has a speakerphone function. You can play and pause your tracks from the device as well.

The OontZ Angle3 doesn't have all the options others have. You don't get NFC support, a micro SD card slot or the ability to skip tracks using the speaker controls. There are other Bluetooth speakers that have these options, but if you value how well your music sounds over a myriad of options, this beautiful sounding speaker is for you.

The Angle3 has an IPX5 certification, which makes it splash proof and dust proof. Great for the shower and other wet environments. Don't be afraid to shower with it or have it out in the rain. It can't be submerged in water with this IPX rating.

Battery life is about 7 hours, at 60% volume. It will be less at higher volumes. This is definitely less than the Plus unit, which does 12-15 hours of use. You have to take into account that the battery is driving much more sound and requires that extra battery power. I personally like the trade off and all that's required is to charge the unit a bit more frequently. A battery status symbol shows up in my iOS devices.

If you're like me and aren't interested in the all the above mentioned options, that you may never use and just want a beautiful sounding speaker that's main focus is perfecting and delivering crystal clear sound, than this speaker is an excellent option to consider.

To me, the OontZ Angle3 has no real negatives to mention. You could quibble about having more features, but I really don't consider that a negative. I'd rather have a great sounding speaker, over more features. In my opinion, this is a great Bluetooth speaker for the price.

The OontZ Angle3 is a very solid speaker, that now has outstanding volume and good bass. It retains and actually improves upon the crisp highs and strong mids of its predecessor. I like that Cambridge Soundworks is actually focusing on sound quality and not loading up on tons of features.

I can highly recommend the OontZ Angle3.

Thank you for reading my review.

Oh boy, do I have a story for you! It all started when I was looking for the perfect Bluetooth speaker to take with me on my next camping trip. I wanted something that was portable, durable, and most importantly, had great sound quality. After scouring the internet for hours, I finally stumbled upon the OontZ Upgraded Angle 3 Bluetooth Speaker, and boy am I glad I did.

Let me start off by saying that this speaker is an absolute powerhouse. With its powerful 10-watt output, I was able to blast my music at full volume and still have it sound crystal clear. And speaking of volume, this thing can get LOUD! I was worried that I wouldn't be able to hear it over the sound of the campfire and the crickets, but boy was I wrong. I actually had to turn it down a few notches because it was so loud!

But what really impressed me about this speaker was its wireless range. The box claims it can reach up to 100 feet, and I was skeptical at first, but I decided to put it to the test. I walked a full 100 feet away from the speaker, and not only could I still hear my music perfectly, but I was even able to control the volume and skip tracks from my phone. I mean, come on, how cool is that?!

Now, let's talk about the battery life. I was a little worried that the battery wouldn't last through a full weekend of camping, but again, I was pleasantly surprised. I was able to use it all day on Saturday, and even after leaving it on overnight, it still had enough juice to last through most of Sunday. And when it finally did die, it only took a couple of hours to fully recharge.

But the real kicker? This thing is water-resistant! I accidentally spilled a whole cup of water on it, and I thought for sure it was a goner. But to my surprise, it kept on playing like nothing had happened. I wouldn't recommend taking it for a swim, but it's definitely a nice peace of mind to know that it can handle a little splash here and there.

The first time I used the OontZ Upgraded Angle 3 Bluetooth Speaker was at a backyard barbecue, and everyone was blown away by its sound quality. We played everything from classic rock to pop, and the speaker handled it all with ease. It even has a built-in microphone, which was perfect for taking hands-free calls without having to disconnect the speaker.

Another thing that impressed me was how easy it was to connect to my phone. All I had to do was turn on my phone's Bluetooth, and the speaker immediately popped up as an option. It connected seamlessly every time, and I never experienced any lag or dropped connections.

One thing to note is that this speaker is on the larger side for a portable speaker, but I didn't mind that at all. It's still small enough to easily pack in a backpack or duffel bag, and the added size means better sound quality and battery life.

And last but not least, I have to give a shoutout to the OontZ customer service team. I had a question about the speaker, and I reached out to their customer service team via email. They responded within 24 hours and were incredibly helpful and friendly. It's rare to find a company that genuinely cares about its customers, but OontZ definitely impressed me in that regard.

Overall, I would give the OontZ Upgraded Angle 3 Bluetooth Speaker a solid 5 out of 5 stars. It exceeded my expectations in every way, and I can't wait to take it on many more adventures in the future. If you're in the market for a portable Bluetooth speaker that packs a punch, look no further!

I bought three Bluetooth speakers hoping ONE would be usable. All three ended up being keepers for different reasons. I bought the Cambridge SoundWorks Oontz Angle 3, the Anker Classic Portable, and the Boombotix REX.

Portability: All three are fantastic, no real difference. If you want to nitpick, the Boombotix is the smallest, the Anker is next, and the Cambridge is the largest. But again, none of them are really different. I give an edge to the Boombotix for it's clip, it's more flexible. The clip is super hard to get open though. You aren't clipping it to anything thick.

Construction and Ergonomics: All three seem durable and well built. The Anker is clearly the best of the three. It's classy, attractive, and feels substantial. And it doesn't walk itself around too much with vibration. But the On/Off switch is terrible. It's tiny and hard to use, you have to use your fingernail. The other buttons are functional, but not as easy to use as the other two. The Boombotix is sturdy and easy to use, the buttons are a little close together, but they work well. It's walks around a little on a hard table, but not terribly. You will have to watch it though, or it will eventually fall off a table. The Cambridge Angle 3 is sturdy and I love the shape. It works really well being able to either lay it down or stand it up. The function buttons are easy to use. The On/Off button is not great, it's too small and in an obscure location. So much so that they have to put a little sticker pointing to it. The rubber end caps are a mixed blessing. I think they will help protect it, but they get really dirty really fast. They pick up every tiny little bit of dust. I recommend standing it up if you put a lot of volume through it because once the bass starts to thump it will bounce and wiggle it's way all over the place. It's actually kinda funny looking. But standing up the passive radiator on the bottom doesn't propel it all over.

Sound: I was actually impressed with all three. None of them are on par with the large Sound Dock or Klipsch type speakers, but they could hardly be expected to compete with those at this size and price.The Cambridge is my favorite because it has more bass than the other two. It's a clear winner in bass response. probably about 10-15% more. And that's important to me. The Anker actually has the best overall sound. It's rich and clean. It's probably the "best" speaker of all three. And the Boombotix is clearly the loudest. It really puts out some sound. none of them sound bad at all. I would have been happy with any of the three if I hadn't heard the others. But hearing them side by side the Angle 3 fits what I need best.

Connectivity: None were bad, but the Boombotix lost connection first, the Angle 3 and the Anker had no trouble at all at 30ft even through walls (but none liked going through a stone fireplace LOL). None were an issue connecting. They were all easy as pie to pair. The Anker was slowest when powering on and trying to find my phone, but we're talking about less than 10 seconds total time for the slowest.

Intangibles: The Boombotix has some features that are really appealing. There's an audio out jack, which you can use to run a second speaker (of any make). So that give you options. Send Bluetooth to the speaker and then it will send it to a second speaker. If you don't have a Bluetooth connection on one of your larger speakers you can send signal to the REX and it will connect to your larger speaker. Options are nice.

I chose the Angle 3, it fits my needs best with the best imitation of bass, but the others are good enough that I've decided to keep them and use them too. The Anker is nicest, and the Boombotix is loudest and most versatile. I can't really speak to longevity since I haven't had them very long, but I don't think any of them will die on me. Don't be afraid to buy any of these. Just pick the one that fits best.

From the moment I unboxed the OontZ Angle 3 Bluetooth Speaker, it was an unspoken understanding that my auditory experience would never be the same. A journey that began with a sprinkle of skepticism has metamorphosed into an unrivaled relationship between man and machine. This isn't just a Bluetooth speaker; it's a harmonious blend of top-notch sound engineering, aesthetic beauty, and unparalleled functionality, ensuring every listening moment is a treat for the senses.

While it's a temptation to be swayed by the plethora of high points, the aim of this review is to offer a balanced perspective. I will delve deep into the many admirable qualities but also pinpoint areas that have room for improvement.

🔊 Phenomenal Sound Quality and Clarity: The first time I connected my smartphone to the OontZ Angle 3 and played some tunes, I couldn't help but marvel at the depth of the sound. With 10 watts of audio power, the speaker projects crystal clear sound even at high volumes without any distortion. Whether I'm streaming classical music, hip-hop, or an intriguing podcast, the audio fidelity remains consistently impressive. The bass, often the Achilles heel for many portable speakers, is surprisingly robust, enriching my playlist with full, resonant low notes that never overpower the melody.

🌦 Robust Durability with IPX5 Rating: What caught my eye was the IPX5 water-resistant rating. I tested it out on a family beach day, and let's just say this little beast can take a splash and still belt out your favorite tunes like nothing happened. This feature makes it a perfect companion for outdoor adventures, bringing a newfound resilience to the world of portable speakers.

📱 Swift and Stable Connectivity: Compatibility and connectivity are the unsung heroes of any wireless device. The Bluetooth 5.0 technology ensures the OontZ Angle 3 pairs smoothly with all kinds of devices"”be it Android, iOS, Windows, or Mac. What's more, it maintains this connection tenaciously, making annoying dropouts a thing of the past.

🎨 Aesthetic and Functional Design: Beyond its robust engineering, the OontZ Angle 3 is a visual delight. Its sleek black body, complemented by discreet control buttons, is as functional as it is stylish. The design is intuitive, with the rubberized exterior not only providing an elegant aesthetic but also a comfortable grip, ensuring it won't easily tumble over if you're partying a little too hard.

🔋 Exceptional Battery Life: With its long-lasting battery, the OontZ Angle 3 pushes the boundaries of what portable speakers can achieve. I managed to get close to a full day of usage at moderate volume levels on a single charge. The freedom this affords you, especially when you're outdoors or away from a power source, is genuinely liberating.

However, to give a balanced view, it's only fair to bring up an area for potential enhancement:

🔘 Button Responsiveness: Though generally user-friendly, the tactile feedback on the control buttons could be improved. At times, they require a firm press to register, making me wonder if I've successfully adjusted the volume or skipped a track.

To encapsulate, the OontZ Angle 3 Bluetooth Speaker earns its 5-star rating without a sliver of doubt. Its minor quirks are inconsequential when stacked against its myriad of features and exceptional performance. With its mesmerizing audio quality, rugged durability, seamless connectivity, stylish design, and robust battery life, it stands head and shoulders above the competition.

So if you're looking for a reliable, feature-packed, and exceptional-sounding portable Bluetooth speaker, your search ends here. I wholeheartedly endorse the OontZ Angle 3. It promises an auditory journey that's rewarding, expansive, and full of surprises. And that, in essence, is the purest form of what music or any auditory experience should be"”an enriching journey that tantalizes the senses, one note at a time.
