Short answer: the LG PN7. It ranks #63 of 77 large speakers by sound quality at $150; the Soundcore Trance/Rave Mega ranks #73 and costs $249, so there is not much of a tradeoff to weigh.
On the LG PN7 side: 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. Set against that: No deep bass.
What the Soundcore Trance/Rave Mega offers: 80W power with 105dB output, BassUp technology for body-shaking bass. Watch for: Hugely recessed mids and treble.
Buy the LG PN7. It ranks higher for sound quality than the Soundcore Trance/Rave Mega and costs less, so there is no real case for the other one.
If sound quality matters at all to you, skip both of these and look higher up the 77 large speakers instead.
