Short answer: the Minirig 4 with subwoofer. It ranks #5 of 115 large speakers by sound quality, rated 4.6/5, at $290. The Teufel Rockster Cross ranks #23, rated 4.2/5, at $199.99, $90.01 cheaper, not enough of a saving to outweigh the sound-quality gap.
The Minirig 4 with subwoofer is the better-sounding, longer-running choice. A compact speaker and wireless subwoofer pair with some of the most balanced sound available, a long battery and deep, impactful bass. It is rated for 30 hours of battery against 16 for the Teufel Rockster Cross. At 3.2 lbs (1.44 kg) it weighs much less than the Teufel Rockster Cross at 5.3 lbs (2.4 kg). It has an adjustable EQ, which the Teufel Rockster Cross lacks. The catch: Not stereo, app is buggy.
What the Teufel Rockster Cross does well: A splash resistant speaker with fairly neutral, vocal focused sound and punchy, controlled bass that suits rock and jazz. It supports aptX Bluetooth, which the Minirig 4 with subwoofer lacks. Watch for: Outdoor mode can sound somewhat harsh due to the 4kHz peak.
Buy the Minirig 4 with subwoofer. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $90.01 with the Teufel Rockster Cross does not make up for the sound-quality gap.
