Short answer: the Bose SoundLink Plus for battery and weather sealing, the Mee Audio PartySPKR for party features. The PartySPKR brings 60W RMS stereo from dual tweeters, woofers and passive radiators, with three audio modes, 8 LED modes and Party Mode for over 1000 speakers, but its bass is not very deep and about 12 hours of battery is among the worst in the category. The Bose is IP67 rated with close to 20 hours and clean mids.
The appeal of the Mee Audio PartySPKR: 60W RMS stereo sound from dual tweeters, dual woofers, and dual passive radiators with real bass delivery, three selectable audio modes, 8 LED light modes, Bluetooth 5.3 with Party Mode for connecting over 1000 speakers, IPX6 weather resistance, and three audio inputs. That’s offset by: the bass isn’t very deep, the treble may be slightly bright, and battery life is only about 12 hours, among the worst in the category.
Buy the Bose SoundLink Plus. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $9.01 saving on the Mee Audio PartySPKR is not enough to make up the difference.
