Short answer: the Boom 2, mainly because you can reliably buy it. It ranks #10 of 76 large speakers at $89.99; the Wildbox ranks #9 at $100, one place higher but flagged in our own notes as no longer readily available.
Both need a firmware update or an EQ to hit their ranked potential. The Wildbox ships with older firmware that sounds noticeably worse until manually flashed; the Boom 2’s stock tuning would rank around #24 without a corrected EQ from Oluv or Alan Ross, due to boosted bass and rising treble.
Once corrected, the tradeoffs are different. The Wildbox is genuinely neutral across the midrange but has boosted upper treble that can fatigue; the Boom 2 has only a single midrange driver, so stereo separation comes from the tweeters alone, and its BassUp mode is better left off.
Buy the Boom 2 for the easier purchase and the well-documented EQ path. Buy the Wildbox only if you can actually find stock and don’t mind flashing firmware yourself.

The Two Speakers In Full
Mifa Wildbox: $100 Amazon
Pros: A really neutral frequency response across the midrange. 6 different lighting modes, or turn off the lights with a long button press. You will need to upgrade it to the latest 2.11 firmware with a Windows PC, as it likely ships with 1.93. Sound quality and bass extension on previous firmwares wasn’t very good. To upgrade firmware, install the PC flashing tool and download firmware. With the speaker off, hold V+ Play V- at the same time to enter flashing mode. To check firmware, turn on the speaker, quickly press the M button 3 times, then quickly press the Play button 3 times (it can take a few tries).
Cons: Doesn’t seem to be available anymore. No app. The slightly boosted upper treble can be slightly fatiguing on-axis with certain songs. Some of the buttons can be confusing, “M” is the Bluetooth button and skip song is long press play, while repeat is double press play. The plastic case isn’t textured or rubberized like other speakers and some may find it feels cheap. If dropped it may break internally and sound strange. I’d recommend only buying it from a place with free returns just in case it was damaged in shipping.

Soundcore Boom 2: $89.99 Amazon Bhphotovideo
Pros: Pretty deep bass for the size. Cool lights in the side passive radiators. For the best sound quality use Oluv’s EQ or Alan Ross’s EQ. With the stock tuning, this speaker would rank around #24, due to the boosted bass and rising treble.
Cons: Only a single midrange driver, so you only get stereo for the tweeters. Sound processing issues with inconsistent bass notes that disappear at low levels like the Soundcore Boom and Soundcore Boost, not great for listening at low levels. Quite bass heavy with BassUp turned on, I’d recommend turning it off. A little bit of a bright tuning in the treble, about +5db.
