Short answer: the Loewe We. Hear Pro. It ranks #20 of 120 large speakers by sound quality, rated 4.3/5, at $275. The Marshall Middleton ranks #33, rated 4.0/5, at $257.52, $17.48 cheaper, a saving that is not big enough to make up the sound-quality gap.
Why pick the Loewe We. Hear Pro: A true stereo speaker with excellent separation, a warm balanced midrange and furniture shaking bass at moderate volume. It supports AAC Bluetooth, which the Marshall Middleton lacks. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Marshall Middleton lacks. Watch for: It runs out of headroom quickly: above about 70% volume the bass drops away, the treble gets harsher, and near maximum there is heavy compression and clipping, so the JBL Xtreme 4, Harman Kardon Go + Play 3 and Bogasing S8 Pro Max all sound fuller and cleaner when played loud.
What the Marshall Middleton does well: A waterproof stereo speaker with very deep bass for its size, a long battery, a power bank and a detachable strap. The catch: 5db dip at 1.7kHz and 6.3kHz.
Buy the Loewe We. Hear Pro. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $17.48 with the Marshall Middleton does not make up for the sound-quality gap.
