Short answer: the Xiaomi Sound Pocket on price and features. At $22.51 against the Boat Stone 190/193’s $39, it is IP67 waterproof with 5W output, a 10-hour battery, Bluetooth 5.4 with TWS and a compact 200g design, but it is bass light, its vocals turn harsh above about 80% volume, and it walks on hard surfaces when upright. The Boat Stone is quite light for the performance but has not much bass, slightly boosted mids and rolled off highs.
On the Boat Stone 190/193 side: Quite light for the performance. Set against that: Not much bass, mids slightly boosted, highs a little rolled off.Same hardware as the Monster Bluetooth Speaker and Dayton Audio Boost Mini.
The case for the Xiaomi Sound Pocket: 5W output, IP67 waterproof, 10-hour battery life, compact 200g ultra-portable design, Bluetooth 5.4 with TWS stereo pairing. Set against that: Bass light, vocals harsh above ~80% volume, vibrates/walks on hard surfaces at higher volume when upright, slow 3-hour charge.
Buy the Boat Stone 190/193 when sound quality outweighs the price for you, and the Xiaomi Sound Pocket when the price outweighs sound quality instead.
The Xiaomi Sound Pocket is not a sound-quality pick. It sits near the bottom of the 47 small speakers; there are better options higher up.

Xiaomi Sound Pocket: $22.51 Amazon Aliexpress eBay
Pros: A genuinely pocketable 200g speaker with IP67 protection, USB-C charging, speakerphone capability and TWS pairing. Independent listening finds it surprisingly loud and clear for hotel rooms, patios and travel, with acceptable sound at moderate volume.
Cons: Its 5W driver has little real bass, and vocals can become harsh as volume rises beyond roughly 80%. When upright on a hard surface it can vibrate or walk around, and the claimed 10-hour battery life applies only at modest volume; full recharging is slow at around three hours.
