Short answer: the Miatone Boompro. It ranks #16 of 179 medium speakers by sound quality, rated 4.2/5, at $35.99; the Xiaomi Sound Party ranks #20, rated 4.1/5, and costs $135.84, so there is not much of a tradeoff to weigh.
The Miatone Boompro is the lighter choice. A cheap waterproof speaker with very well balanced sound, even at full volume, and a 16 hour battery. At 1.1 lbs (500 g) it weighs much less than the Xiaomi Sound Party at 2.6 lbs (1.2 kg). The catch: Slightly less bass extension than higher ranked speakers.
The Xiaomi Sound Party is the longer-running choice. A versatile outdoor speaker with warm, balanced sound, fully waterproof build, long battery life, a phone charging port and a handy retractable handle. It is rated for 26 hours of battery against 16 for the Miatone Boompro. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Miatone Boompro lacks. The tradeoff: The sound evidence is mixed rather than universally glowing.
Buy the Miatone Boompro. It is rated higher for sound quality than the Xiaomi Sound Party and costs less, so only choose the other one for a particular feature it does better.
