Short answer: the Marshall Stockwell 2 for better sound quality, the Ultimate Ears Everboom for the lower price. The Marshall Stockwell 2 ranks #11 of 77 large speakers at $200. The Ultimate Ears Everboom ranks #32 at $178.99, $21.01 cheaper.
Where the Marshall Stockwell 2 shines: It’s possibly the most natural sounding Marshall speaker yet, with excellent off-axis performance. The flip side: it isn’t stereo, isn’t very loud, and adds a DSP reverb effect that audio purists may find annoying.
What the Ultimate Ears Everboom gets right: There isn’t much data yet, so its ranking may shift as more sound samples come in. Set against that: it has an upper bass boost, a warm tuning with rolled off treble, and bass that doesn’t dig very deep.
Buy the Marshall Stockwell 2 if sound quality matters more than the price. Buy the Ultimate Ears Everboom if the price matters more than sound quality.
If water resistance matters to you, the Ultimate Ears Everboom at IP67 (brief submersion) holds up far better than the Marshall Stockwell 2 at IPX4 (splashing).
