Short answer: the Rockville Rock Party 6, if you are buying new. The Samsung MX-ST50B ranks higher than it (#25 vs #51 of 51 party speakers, 3.6/5 vs 2.0/5) but is discontinued, so only consider it used; the Rockville Rock Party 6 is still sold new at $73.43.
The Samsung MX-ST50B is the better-sounding, longer-running option. A splash resistant party tower with two woofers, karaoke input, app EQ, and linking for up to ten speakers. It is rated for 18 hours of battery against 6 for the Rockville Rock Party 6. It is rated IPX5, while the Rockville Rock Party 6 has no water resistance. It supports aptX Bluetooth, which the Rockville Rock Party 6 lacks. The tradeoff: Output drops sharply to 90W on battery, so it needs mains power for its full impact.
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 Samsung MX-ST50B at 26.2 lbs (11.9 kg).
