Short answer: the Minirig 4 with subwoofer. It ranks #5 of 115 large speakers by sound quality, rated 4.6/5, at $290. The Ultimate Ears Everboom ranks #35, rated 3.9/5, at $149.99, $140.01 cheaper, which does not close the gap in sound quality.
The Minirig 4 with subwoofer is the better-sounding, longer-running pick. 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 20 for the Ultimate Ears Everboom. The tradeoff: Not stereo, app is buggy.
The Ultimate Ears Everboom is the lighter, tougher choice. A light, waterproof speaker that plays in every direction, with warm sound, a long battery and linking with many speakers. At 2.1 lbs (949 g) 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 (PartyUp up to 50 speakers), which the Minirig 4 with subwoofer cannot. Watch for: Careful placement and volume setting remain important for balanced sound.
Buy the Minirig 4 with subwoofer. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $140.01 with the Ultimate Ears Everboom does not make up for the sound-quality gap.
