Short answer: the Harman Kardon Luna 2. It ranks #25 of 177 medium speakers by sound quality (rated 4.1/5) at $199.95 and is still sold new; the Huawei Sound Joy ranks #40 (rated 3.8/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used. The Huawei Sound Joy’s replacement, the Huawei Sound Joy 2, is rated 3.5/5 at $154.73.
What the Harman Kardon Luna 2 does well: A stylish waterproof speaker with clear, spacious mids, tight bass that stays clean at volume, and stereo pairing with a second unit. Watch for: Treble can sound bright and edgy, and it loses more output off-axis than some rivals.
The Huawei Sound Joy is the longer-running pick. A waterproof speaker with a separate tweeter, long battery life and good loudness, with a Devialet mode for its best sound. It is rated for 26 hours of battery against 12 for the Harman Kardon Luna 2. It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the Harman Kardon Luna 2 lacks. Watch for: Boosted treble, not quite as deep of bass as a JBL Charge 5.
Buy the Harman Kardon Luna 2. It is rated higher for sound quality; the Huawei Sound Joy is no longer sold new.
