Short answer: the Ruimatech RM-10. It ranks #29 of 113 boombox speakers by sound quality, rated 3.8/5, at $159.99; the JBL Partybox On the Go ranks #67, rated 3.0/5, and costs $329.95, so there is not much of a tradeoff to weigh.
The Ruimatech RM-10 is the better-sounding, longer-running pick. An affordable three-way boombox with clear sound that holds up at full volume, water resistance and fast charging. It is rated for 14 hours of battery against 6 for the JBL Partybox On the Go. It is rated IPX6 against IPX4 for the JBL Partybox On the Go. The catch: It is tuned bass boosted, much like the JBL Boombox 3.
Why pick the JBL Partybox On the Go: A battery party speaker with an included wireless microphone and a detachable shoulder strap. Watch for: Bass is limited by its 49Hz specification.
Buy the Ruimatech RM-10. It is rated higher for sound quality than the JBL Partybox On the Go and costs less, which makes it the one to get unless you need something the other one does better.
