Short answer: the Teufel Rockster XS. It ranks #31 of 136 medium speakers by sound quality; the Bose Soundlink Revolve+ II ranks #45.
The case for the Bose Soundlink Revolve+ II: True 360° sound stays consistent no matter where you stand around it, unlike most portable speakers. The catch: Overly boosted bass, warm sounding.
On the Teufel Rockster XS side: A good sounding speaker. Watch for: Not quite as deep of bass as others.
One note: the Teufel Rockster XS is discontinued, but it still ranks #31 of 136 medium speakers by sound quality, ahead of most of what is still sold new, so it is worth considering used.
Buy the Bose Soundlink Revolve+ II if the price matters more than sound quality. Buy the Teufel Rockster XS if sound quality matters more than the price.
