Short answer: the Onn Portable FM Boombox. It ranks #26 of 120 large speakers by sound quality (rated 4.2/5) at $74.83 and is still sold new; the Soundcore Rave Neo ranks #96 (rated 2.7/5) and is discontinued, so it is only an option used. The Soundcore Rave Neo’s replacement, the Soundcore Rave Neo 2, is rated 4.2/5 at $84.99.
The Onn Portable FM Boombox is the better-sounding, lighter option. An excellent value waterproof boombox that floats, with reasonably deep bass, FM radio, lights and a long battery. At 4.9 lbs (2.22 kg) it weighs noticeably less than the Soundcore Rave Neo at 7.7 lbs (3.49 kg). Watch for: Reasonable frequency response, but not quite as smooth as some of the top-ranked speakers in this size.
Why pick the Soundcore Rave Neo: A floating waterproof party speaker with bass heavy sound, beat synced lights, and huge party linking, now discontinued. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Onn Portable FM Boombox lacks. Watch for: Muddy with treble rolloff.
Buy the Onn Portable FM Boombox. It is rated higher for sound quality and still sold new, while the Soundcore Rave Neo is discontinued.
