Short answer: the Bose Soundlink Micro for a pocketable IP67 speaker, the Teufel Rockster 2 for outdoor projection. The Rockster 2 is more evenly tuned than the JBL Partybox 720, its horn-loaded tweeter stays consistent off-axis, and it projects over long distances, though output drops off at high volume. The Bose is a 0.68 lbs (308 g) pocketable IP67 speaker that survives a 1m dunk for 30 minutes, but it lacks clarity and its bass is overly boosted.
Buy the Bose Soundlink Micro at $99.99 if you want a small speaker. Buy the Teufel Rockster 2 at $1,269.94 if you want a large party speaker instead.
Battery life favors the Teufel Rockster 2: rated for 15 hours against 6 hours for the Bose Soundlink Micro.
If water resistance matters to you, the Bose Soundlink Micro at IP67 (brief submersion) holds up far better than the Teufel Rockster 2 at IPX2 (light drips).
