Short answer: the DALI Katch G2, though neither ranks well in its class. Both are rated 2.8/5 for sound quality (#90 and #92 of 120 large speakers), and the DALI Katch G2 costs $750 against $2,250 for the B&O Beosound Level, and with sound quality even, the cheaper one is the better buy. Both are rated below 3.0/5 among the 120 large speakers, and the JBL Xtreme 5, ranked #2 at $399.95, is a better place to start if sound quality matters.
The DALI Katch G2 is the longer-running, lighter option. A slim, elegant waterproof stereo speaker with a built in strap, a very long battery, and high quality Bluetooth. It is rated for 30 hours of battery against 16 for the B&O Beosound Level. At 2.4 lbs (1.1 kg) it weighs much less than the B&O Beosound Level at 7.3 lbs (3.3 kg). It is rated IPX7 against IP54 for the B&O Beosound Level. Watch for: Loses bass quickly after 40% volume.
The case for the B&O Beosound Level: A sculptural luxury speaker that works on battery or mains, mounts on a wall, and streams over Wi-Fi with upgradeable modules. The tradeoff: Not very deep bass, peaks in midrange.
Buy the DALI Katch G2. Both are rated the same for sound quality, and it costs $1,500 less than the B&O Beosound Level.
