Short answer: the Bose Soundlink Revolve+ II, if you are buying new. The Huawei Sound Joy ranks higher than it (#40 vs #50 of 179 medium speakers, 3.8/5 vs 3.6/5) but is discontinued, so only consider it used; the Bose Soundlink Revolve+ II is still sold new at $299. The Huawei Sound Joy’s replacement, the Huawei Sound Joy 2, is rated 3.5/5 at $154.73.
The Huawei Sound Joy is the longer-running, lighter 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 17 for the Bose Soundlink Revolve+ II. At 1.5 lbs (680 g) it weighs noticeably less than the Bose Soundlink Revolve+ II at 2 lbs (910 g). It is rated IP67 against IP55 for the Bose Soundlink Revolve+ II. The tradeoff: Boosted treble, not quite as deep of bass as a JBL Charge 5.
Why pick the Bose Soundlink Revolve+ II: A premium 360 degree speaker that sounds the same from any spot around it, with a carry handle and long battery life. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Huawei Sound Joy lacks. Watch for: Overly boosted bass, warm sounding.
Buy the Bose Soundlink Revolve+ II if you want one new; the Huawei Sound Joy is discontinued, so only look for it used.
