Short answer: the JBL Flip 7 on size and price, the Soundcore Rave Neo 2 for a bigger party speaker. The Flip 7 is very neutral, almost pocket-sized and adds slightly more treble and slightly deeper bass than the Flip 6 at a fraction of the Rave Neo 2’s size and price, with a small 4kHz bump keeping it just short of the Flip 6. The Rave Neo 2 is a big step up over the original, with bass-up at higher volumes but a slight treble rolloff.
Buy the JBL Flip 7 at $149.95 if you want a medium speaker. Buy the Soundcore Rave Neo 2 at $84.99 if you want a large speaker instead.
