Short answer: the Sony ULT Field 3 for outdoor durability, the Huawei Sound Joy for sound quality with EQ. The Sony is IP67 rated, dustproof and water resistant, though it sounds a bit hollow and a bit boosted in the treble. The Huawei sounds best with Devialet and a +6db EQ, but its treble is boosted and its bass is not quite as deep as a Charge 5.
Buy the Huawei Sound Joy 2, the replacement for the discontinued Huawei Sound Joy; it is rated higher for sound quality than the Sony ULT Field 3.
