It was awarded the "Also great" title from Wirecutter (NYTimes) and "Best sound" from SoundGuys in their respective Portable Bluetooth Speaker roundups.

Moving on to the Cambridge SoundWorks OontZ Angle 3: it was unable to reach the very top of any roundups from sources that conduct reliable and unbiased testing.

We couldn't find any sources that tested both of these Portable Bluetooth Speakers, so we only analyzed how they performed in reviews from different sites.

Due to the difference in their prices, however, it's important to keep in mind that a direct Marshall Stanmore II Voice (2018) vs. Cambridge SoundWorks OontZ Angle 3 comparison might not be entirely fair - some sources don't take value for money into account when assigning their scores and therefore have a tendency to rate more premium products better.
