Short answer: the KEF Muo gen2 for balance, the Turtlebox Ranger for a smoother curve than its siblings. The Ranger has a smoother frequency response than the other Turtlebox speakers, but its bass sounds kind of thuddy and is not as deep as higher ranked speakers. The Muo gen2 responds with fixed rolled off treble and improved overall balance, though it also lacks deeper bass.
Buy the Turtlebox Ranger. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the $0.01 you would save on the KEF Muo gen2 does not close the gap.
Battery life favors the KEF Muo gen2: rated for 24 hours against 12 hours for the Turtlebox Ranger.

A stylish waterproof stereo speaker with aptX Adaptive, USB-C audio input, Auracast and long battery life.
A very tough outdoor speaker with built in magnets for mounting it on metal surfaces.
