Short answer: the Beats Pill 2024. It ranks #78 of 177 medium speakers by sound quality, rated 3.3/5, at $99.95; the KEF Muo gen2 ranks #96, rated 3.1/5, and costs $249.99, so there is not much of a tradeoff to weigh.
Why pick the Beats Pill 2024: A compact waterproof speaker with long battery life, fast charging, a power bank port and stereo pairing. The tradeoff: Boosted upper bass, somewhat thuddy.
Why pick the KEF Muo gen2: A stylish waterproof stereo speaker with aptX Adaptive, USB-C audio input, Auracast and long battery life. It supports aptX Adaptive Bluetooth, which the Beats Pill 2024 lacks. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Beats Pill 2024 lacks. It plays in stereo from a single unit, unlike the Beats Pill 2024. The catch: Lacking deeper bass.
Buy the Beats Pill 2024. It is rated higher for sound quality than the KEF Muo gen2 and costs less, so only choose the other one for a particular feature it does better.
