Which should you buy?
The Charge 6 is the clear pick on raw spec strength, leading by 15.4 points on the Mars Score. The margin is wide enough that the underdog only makes sense if its individual strengths line up with what you specifically need.
Pick the Charge 6 if you care most about battery and low-end response. The biggest gaps in its favor are battery, low-end response, water resistance, among others.
The BOOM 4 similarly doesn't carry a headline advantage on the popular specs — look at the full table for category-specific deltas.
Both ship with comparable stereo pairing, so those specs don't separate the two — focus on the differences below.
