The Rockster Cross has a pretty neutral frequency response and a larger mid/bass driver that suits rock and jazz, with punchy, well-controlled bass, though outdoor mode can sound harsh from a 4kHz peak. The Move 2 is warm with rolled-off treble, a bit clearer in the midrange than the original Move, but not very loud.

The Two Speakers In Full
Sonos Move 2: $496.11 Amazon eBay
Older model: the Sonos Move (ranked lower, rated 4.1/5).
Pros: Warm sounding with somewhat rolled off treble. Slightly better midrange clarity than the Move 1.
Cons: Not very loud. It may share the Move 1’s full-volume issues, though more sound samples at full volume are needed to confirm that.

Teufel Rockster Cross: $199.99 Amazon eBay
Newer model: the Teufel Rockster Cross 2, ranked higher, rated 4.2/5.
Pros: Pretty neutral frequency response. More vocal/midrange-focused than the JBL Xtreme 4, thanks to a larger mid/bass driver - better suited to rock and jazz. Nicer upper-bass detail than the JBL Xtreme 4. Punchy, well-controlled bass that suits rock music, unlike the Soundcore Boom 2 Plus’s overboosted, uncontrolled bass even at stock tuning. Clear, detailed audio with good vocal presence and solid Bluetooth codec support even a couple years after release. Measured bass extension of 51Hz (-10dB).
Cons: Outdoor mode can sound somewhat harsh due to the 4kHz peak. Not as deep or full-sounding in the bass as the JBL Xtreme 4.
