Short answer: the Miatone Boompro. It ranks #16 of 179 medium speakers by sound quality, rated 4.2/5, at $35.99. The Soundcore 2 ranks #105, rated 3.0/5, at $29.99, $6 cheaper, which does not close the gap in sound quality.
The Miatone Boompro is the better-sounding pick. A cheap waterproof speaker with very well balanced sound, even at full volume, and a 16 hour battery. It charges over USB-C rather than Micro USB. Watch for: Slightly less bass extension than higher ranked speakers.
The Soundcore 2 is the longer-running, lighter option. A cheap, light waterproof stereo speaker with a long rated battery, an aux input and pairing with a second unit. It is rated for 24 hours of battery against 16 for the Miatone Boompro. At 0.7 lbs (318 g) it weighs noticeably less than the Miatone Boompro at 1.1 lbs (500 g). It keeps a wired aux input, which the Miatone Boompro lacks. The catch: Bass is specified only down to 70Hz, so the low end is limited.
Buy the Miatone Boompro. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $6 with the Soundcore 2 does not make up for the sound-quality gap.
