Short answer: the LG PN7 for better sound quality, the Soundcore Rave Neo for the lower price. The LG PN7 ranks #63 of 77 large speakers at $150. The Soundcore Rave Neo ranks #64 at $80, $70 cheaper.
What the LG PN7 gets right: Exceptional 24-hour battery life, IPX7 waterproof, 106dB max volume, XBOOM remote app support, Wireless Party Link feature, stereo capable, USB-C charging, built-in microphone. The catch: No deep bass.
On the Soundcore Rave Neo side: 50W powerful bass-heavy sound with clear mids and highs. Set against that: Muddy with treble rolloff.
Buy the LG PN7 if sound quality matters more than the price. Buy the Soundcore Rave Neo if the price matters more than sound quality.
If sound quality matters at all to you, skip both of these and look higher up the 77 large speakers instead.
