Short answer: the Bose SoundLink Max for sound and stamina, the Mee Audio PartySPKR for features. The Bose pairs deep, neutrally tuned bass and app EQ with IP67 protection and a battery rated 20 hours, though it distorts above 80% volume and self-drains about 20% a week. The Mee counters with 60W RMS stereo and a long feature list, but its bass is not very deep and its 12 hours is about the worst in its category.
Buy the Bose SoundLink Max when sound quality outweighs the price for you, and the Mee Audio PartySPKR when the price outweighs sound quality instead.
