Short answer: the Huawei Sound Joy 2, if you are buying new. The Huawei Sound Joy ranks higher than it (#40 vs #66 of 164 medium speakers, 3.8/5 vs 3.5/5) but is discontinued, so only consider it used; the Huawei Sound Joy 2 is still sold new at $154.73.
What the Huawei Sound Joy does well: Use Devialet and +6db EQ for best sound quality. The catch: Boosted treble, not quite as deep of bass as a Charge 5.
Why pick the Huawei Sound Joy 2: A 20W 50mm x 75mm racetrack full range driver and a 10W 19mm tweeter with two passive radiators. Watch for: In side by side sound tests against the Harman Kardon Luna, Tribit XSound Plus 2 and Xiaomi Sound Outdoor, most listeners preferred the other speakers, finding the Sound Joy 2 treble heavy and strained, with audible distortion as the volume rises.
Buy the Huawei Sound Joy 2 new; the Huawei Sound Joy is no longer sold new, so it only makes sense as a used find.

Huawei Sound Joy 2: $154.73 AliExpress eBay
Older model: the Huawei Sound Joy (ranked higher, rated 3.8/5).
Pros: A 20W 50mm x 75mm racetrack full range driver and a 10W 19mm tweeter with two passive radiators. In side by side sound tests listeners found its vocals clearer than the Xiaomi Sound Party’s, though with less bass. The 8800mAh battery is rated for 26 hours and fast charges over USB-C. IP67 dust and water protection, Bluetooth 5.2 with AAC, NFC tap to pair, stereo pairing with a second unit, an LED light ring, and three microphones for calls.
Cons: In side by side sound tests against the Harman Kardon Luna, Tribit XSound Plus 2 and Xiaomi Sound Outdoor, most listeners preferred the other speakers, finding the Sound Joy 2 treble heavy and strained, with audible distortion as the volume rises. The reviewer behind those comparisons also found it less smooth than the first Sound Joy. Nothing so far shows how neutral its tuning is: the evidence is listening comparisons, not measurements. A single unit plays mono, and it isn’t sold on Amazon in the US, so buying one means importing.
