Short answer: the Soundboks Mix is the tougher, more flexible outdoor speaker, while the Electro-Voice Everse 8 is the better choice when midrange and treble quality come first. Both sacrifice something important in the bass department.
The Mix has IP65 protection, 65W USB-C fast charging, and TeamUp linking for as many as five SKAA speakers. Its single 10-inch woofer and 72W amplification limit the scale implied by its size, and the treble can sound bright.
Everse 8 is tuned for useful loudness and has notably good midrange and treble at this level. It is not stereo and does not reach especially deep, so it is better viewed as a compact practical PA than a bass-heavy party speaker.
Buy the Soundboks Mix if weather resistance, USB-C charging, and linking several speakers are your priorities.
Buy the Electro-Voice Everse 8 if articulate voices and instruments matter more than stereo imaging or deep bass.
There is a real battery-life gap here: the Soundboks Mix is rated for 40 hours, the Electro-Voice Everse 8 only 12 hours.
