Short answer: the JBL Boombox 3 Wifi. It ranks #26 of 112 boombox speakers by sound quality (rated 3.8/5) at $389.95 and is still sold new; the Bumpboxx Flare 6 ranks #82 (rated 2.6/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used.
The JBL Boombox 3 Wifi is the better-sounding, longer-running pick. A big, waterproof stereo boombox with Wi-Fi, a long battery and enough volume for any outdoor party. It is rated for 24 hours of battery against 12 for the Bumpboxx Flare 6. The catch: Bass boosted.
Why pick the Bumpboxx Flare 6: A retro styled stereo party speaker with water resistance and a 12 hour battery. Watch for: There is no companion app.
