Short answer: the Devialet Mania. It ranks #55 of 120 large speakers by sound quality (rated 3.6/5) at $899 and is still sold new; the Soundcore Rave Neo ranks #96 (rated 2.7/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used. The Soundcore Rave Neo’s replacement, the Soundcore Rave Neo 2, is rated 4.2/5 at $84.99.
The Devialet Mania is the better-sounding, deeper-bass option. A compact, good looking Wi-Fi and Bluetooth stereo speaker with Alexa built in and splash resistance. Its bass reaches about 47Hz before falling 10dB, against 60Hz for the Soundcore Rave Neo. At 5.1 lbs (2.3 kg) it weighs noticeably less than the Soundcore Rave Neo at 7.7 lbs (3.49 kg). Watch for: Not very loud.
The Soundcore Rave Neo is the longer-running, tougher option. A floating waterproof party speaker with bass heavy sound, beat synced lights, and huge party linking, now discontinued. It is rated for 18 hours of battery against 10 for the Devialet Mania. It is rated IPX7 against IPX4 for the Devialet Mania. It links with other speakers (PartyCast up to 100 speakers), which the Devialet Mania cannot. Watch for: Muddy with treble rolloff.
Buy the Devialet Mania. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the Soundcore Rave Neo is discontinued, so it is only available used.
