Short answer: the Cleer Audio Scene. It ranks #33 of 179 medium speakers by sound quality, rated 3.9/5, at $74.99. The Xiaomi Sound Outdoor ranks #46, rated 3.7/5, at $49.99, $25 cheaper, which does not close the gap in sound quality.
Why pick the Cleer Audio Scene: A stereo portable speaker with quite neutral, natural sound that keeps voices and instruments clear and true. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Xiaomi Sound Outdoor lacks. It plays in stereo from a single unit, unlike the Xiaomi Sound Outdoor. The catch: Less bass extension than a JBL Flip 6.
What the Xiaomi Sound Outdoor does well: An affordable waterproof outdoor speaker with a separate tweeter, decent battery life and linking to many more speakers. The catch: Bass reach is limited for the cabinet size, with a rated lower limit of 60Hz, and the boosted bass gets somewhat uncontrolled at high levels.
Buy the Cleer Audio Scene. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $25 with the Xiaomi Sound Outdoor does not make up for the sound-quality gap.
