Short answer: the JBL Xtreme 5, if you are buying new. The JBL Xtreme 2 ranks higher than the Zealot S67 (#64 vs #124 of 126 large speakers) but is discontinued; its replacement, the JBL Xtreme 5, is rated 4.6/5 at $399.95 and is still sold new.
The JBL Xtreme 2 is the better-sounding option. A rugged, waterproof stereo boombox with long real-world battery life and a USB port to charge your phone, now discontinued. It links with other speakers (Connect+ up to 100 speakers), which the Zealot S67 cannot. The catch: External AC power brick for charging.
The Zealot S67 is the longer-running choice. A budget waterproof speaker with a long rated battery, USB-C charging, microSD playback, and stereo pairing. It is rated for 20 hours of battery against 15 for the JBL Xtreme 2. Watch for: Sound quality is the catch.
Buy the JBL Xtreme 5, the replacement for the discontinued JBL Xtreme 2; it is rated higher for sound quality than the Zealot S67.
