Short answer: the Sonos Move 2. It ranks #28 of 120 large speakers by sound quality (rated 4.1/5) at $480 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 Sonos Move 2 is the better-sounding, longer-running pick. A Wi-Fi and Bluetooth portable with warm, full sound, clear mids and a long battery for moving around the home. It is rated for 24 hours of battery against 18 for the Soundcore Rave Neo. The catch: Not very loud.
The case for the Soundcore Rave Neo: A floating waterproof party speaker with bass heavy sound, beat synced lights, and huge party linking, now discontinued. It links with other speakers (PartyCast up to 100 speakers), which the Sonos Move 2 cannot. It has an adjustable EQ, which the Sonos Move 2 lacks. Watch for: Muddy with treble rolloff.
Buy the Sonos Move 2. It is rated higher for sound quality, and the Soundcore Rave Neo is discontinued, so it is only available used.
