These sit in different size classes, so this is not a straight ranking comparison. The Minirig 4 with subwoofer ranks #5 of 120 large speakers by sound quality at $290; the Turtlebox Ranger ranks #62 of 179 medium speakers by sound quality at $250.
The Minirig 4 with subwoofer is the longer-running option. 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 12 for the Turtlebox Ranger. It keeps a wired aux input, which the Turtlebox Ranger lacks. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Turtlebox Ranger lacks. The catch: Not stereo, app is buggy.
The Turtlebox Ranger is the lighter, tougher pick. A very tough outdoor speaker with built in magnets for mounting it on metal surfaces. At 2.4 lbs (1.09 kg) it weighs noticeably less than the Minirig 4 with subwoofer at 3.2 lbs (1.44 kg). It is rated IP67 against Splash resistant for the Minirig 4 with subwoofer. It links with other speakers (Turtlebox Party Mode), which the Minirig 4 with subwoofer cannot. The tradeoff: Bass sounds kind of thuddy and isn’t as deep as higher ranked speakers.
Buy the Minirig 4 with subwoofer ($290) for a large speaker; the Turtlebox Ranger ($250) suits a medium speaker instead.
