Short answer: the Bogasing G4. It ranks #27 of 177 medium speakers by sound quality (rated 4.0/5) at $42.49 and is still sold new; the Huawei Sound Joy ranks #40 (rated 3.8/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used. The Huawei Sound Joy’s replacement, the Huawei Sound Joy 2, is rated 3.5/5 at $154.73.
What the Bogasing G4 does well: A light, affordable waterproof speaker with surprisingly strong bass for its size, solid loudness, long battery life and stereo pairing. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Huawei Sound Joy lacks. It plays in stereo from a single unit, unlike the Huawei Sound Joy. The tradeoff: The upper treble is boosted and uneven, while the mids sit slightly behind the bass and highs, so it is not a neutral choice for vocal-focused music.
Why pick the Huawei Sound Joy: A waterproof speaker with a separate tweeter, long battery life and good loudness, with a Devialet mode for its best sound. It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the Bogasing G4 lacks. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Bogasing G4 lacks. Watch for: Boosted treble, not quite as deep of bass as a JBL Charge 5.
Buy the Bogasing G4. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the Huawei Sound Joy is discontinued, so it is only available used.
