Short answer: both are discontinued, so this only matters if you are buying used, though neither ranks well in its class. Used, the Bumpboxx Flare 6 is the better pick: it ranks #83 of 113 boombox speakers by sound quality (rated 2.6/5), against #106 (rated 2.1/5) for the Turtlebox Gen 2. If you want one new, the Turtlebox Gen 3 replaces the Turtlebox Gen 2 and is rated 2.1/5 at $430. Both are rated below 3.0/5 among the 113 boombox speakers, and the Tribit Stormbox Blast, ranked #2 at $199.99, is a better place to start if sound quality matters.
The Flare 6 is the wider stereo boombox. A 6-inch woofer and tweeters on 150W play in stereo, with lights, an aux input, USB-C charging and an IPX6 rating. Its battery is rated for 12 hours, and it has no app or EQ. It is discontinued.
The Turtlebox Gen 2 is the crushproof, waterproof one. It is IP67, Outeraudio measured about 104dB at 1m, and its 85Wh battery is rated for 25 hours at low volume, with aux and mic inputs. Its car-audio 6x9 woofer gives boomy upper bass but little real low end, falling 10dB around 65Hz, it rattles at high volume, and it charges only from its own adapter. It is also discontinued.
Buy the Bumpboxx Flare 6 only if you find one used in good condition; both are discontinued, and it is the better rated of the two. For a new speaker, buy the Turtlebox Gen 3, which replaces the Turtlebox Gen 2.
