Short answer: the Soundcore Rave 3S, if you are buying new, though neither ranks well in its class. The Soundcore Rave ranks higher than the Rockville Rock Party 6 (#45 vs #51 of 51 party speakers) but is discontinued; its replacement, the Soundcore Rave 3S, is rated 3.8/5 at $299.99 and is still sold new. Both are rated below 3.0/5 among the 51 party speakers, so if sound quality matters, consider the JBL Partybox 110 instead, ranked #9 at $194.97.
The Rockville Rock Party 6 is the lighter option. A budget battery party speaker with a woofer, tweeters, Bluetooth, and an aux input. At 11.9 lbs (5.4 kg) it weighs much less than the Soundcore Rave at 21.6 lbs (9.8 kg).
The Soundcore Rave is the longer-running pick. A party speaker with a long battery, wireless mics, vocal removal for karaoke, and colorful light shows. It is rated for 24 hours of battery against 6 for the Rockville Rock Party 6. It links with other speakers (PartyCast up to 100 speakers), which the Rockville Rock Party 6 cannot. The tradeoff: Pretty big lack of deep bass, treble rolled off.
Buy the Soundcore Rave 3S, the replacement for the discontinued Soundcore Rave; it is rated higher for sound quality than the Rockville Rock Party 6.
