These sit in different size classes, so this is not a straight ranking comparison. The JBL Charge 6 ranks #12 of 179 medium speakers by sound quality at $149.95; the Teufel Rockster Cross 2 ranks #22 of 120 large speakers by sound quality.
Different sizes. The Charge 6 is a medium 2.2 lbs (990 g) speaker. The Rockster Cross 2 is a large 5.3 lbs (2.4 kg) speaker. Each is rated within its own class.
The Charge 6 is more neutral than the Charge 5 through the mids and treble, with some boosted bass by default, and measured about 102dB. The Oluv EQ linked on its page improves it further.
The Cross 2 sounds almost identical to the original Cross, fairly neutral with punchy bass, and its app EQ adds bass punch. It adds partial stereo from two tweeters, a 3.5mm aux input and a USB-C sound card.
Battery: 24 hours claimed for the Charge 6 against 38 for the Cross 2. Toughness: IP68 on the Charge 6 against IPX5 on the Cross 2. Both have a power bank.
Buy the JBL Charge 6 for a medium speaker; the Teufel Rockster Cross 2 suits a large speaker instead.
