Different classes, so treat this as a step-up-or-not question rather than a head-to-head. The Bose Soundlink Revolve+ II ranks #45 of 135 medium speakers by sound quality at $249; the Teufel Rockster ranks #7 of 11 large party speakers by sound quality at -.
Bose Soundlink Revolve+ II’s strengths: Its true 360 degree sound stays consistent no matter where you stand around it, unlike most portable speakers. The tradeoff: its bass is overly boosted and warm sounding, the mids are boosted, the treble is rolled off, and it’s only IP55 rated.
In favor of the Teufel Rockster: It’s the loudest battery powered speaker around, with deeper bass than the Soundboks 2 or 3. The downside: it’s extremely heavy and hard to carry, isn’t stereo, and is only sold in Europe.
Buy the Bose Soundlink Revolve+ II at $249 if you want a medium speaker. Buy the Teufel Rockster at - if you want a large party speaker instead.
If battery life is a priority, the Teufel Rockster is rated for 30 hours versus 17 hours for the Bose Soundlink Revolve+ II.
If water resistance matters to you, the Bose Soundlink Revolve+ II at IP55 (water jets) holds up far better than the Teufel Rockster at no water resistance.
