Short answer: the JBL Partybox Encore 2. It ranks #4 of 113 boombox speakers by sound quality, rated 4.4/5, at $330. The Ruimatech RM-10 ranks #29, rated 3.8/5, at $159.99, $170.01 cheaper, which does not close the gap in sound quality.
The JBL Partybox Encore 2 is the better-sounding option. A compact karaoke party speaker with two wireless mics, better balanced sound than the original and a long battery. Watch for: It still lacks some upper-bass punch and cannot match the scale of the larger PartyBoxes.
The Ruimatech RM-10 is the tougher pick. An affordable three-way boombox with clear sound that holds up at full volume, water resistance and fast charging. It is rated IPX6 against IPX4 for the JBL Partybox Encore 2. Watch for: It is tuned bass boosted, much like the JBL Boombox 3.
Buy the JBL Partybox Encore 2. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $170.01 saving on the Ruimatech RM-10 is not enough to make up the difference.
