Short answer: the LG XL7. It ranks #22 of 50 party speakers by sound quality; the Teufel Rockster Air ranks #27.
On the LG XL7 side: Wheels and handle. Cool customizable lighting. Watch for: Treble is recessed, bass isn’t as deep as a Partybox 310. Upper bass boosted.
What the Teufel Rockster Air offers: Exceptional 58-hour battery (31 hours at full volume with ECO mode). User-replaceable battery adds real longevity. 112dB loud like live rock concert. Set against that: Peaky midrange, not very natural sounding. Starts to get distorted above half volume.
Buy the LG XL7 if sound quality matters more than the price. Buy the Teufel Rockster Air if the price matters more than sound quality.
If battery life is a priority, the Teufel Rockster Air is rated for 30 hours versus 20 hours for the LG XL7.
If water resistance matters to you, the LG XL7 at IPX4 (splashing) holds up far better than the Teufel Rockster Air at no water resistance.
